UseJet-Dry®RinseAgent
Jet-Drip rinse agent removes spots and prevents new film build-up
on your dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware and plastic.

dispenser' can be checked by
pressing the clear center of the
fill cap 2 or3 times. If rinse agent
fills the center of the fill cap, you
have enough.
A full dispenser should last about one month.
If rinse agent spills, wipe up the excess.

ProperUseofDetergent
Use only detergent specifically made for' use in dishwashers° Cascade e
Automatic Dishwashing Detergent has been approved for use in all
GE dishwashers° Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Don't put powder
detergent into the dispenser until you're ready to wash dishes.
The amount of detergent to use depends on whether your water is
hard or soft With hard water', you need extra detergent. With soft
water, you need less detergent.
Protect your dishes and dishwasher by contacting your water
department and asking how hard your water isoTwelve or more
grains is extremely hard water, A water softener is recommended.
Widlout it, time can build up in the water valve, which could stick
while open and cause flooding. Too much detergent with soft _ter
can cause a permanent cloudiness of glassware, called etching.
You'll find two detergent dispensers on the
inside door of your dishwasher: All wash cycles
except glNSE ONLY require detergent in the Open ci
main cup. Wash cycles with two washes _fill
also use the open cup. V_q_en using automatic
dishwashing detergent tabs, simply place
one tab in the main cup and close.
Be sure the Dial is OFF before adding
detergenL Otherwise, tire detergent cup will not close and
latch properly Add detergent then close the main cup.
NOTE:To open detergent cup after it has
been closed, simply tm-n Ore detergent cup
handle counter-clockwise until it releases.
A snapping sound may be hear&
