Dishwasher

Upper Rack

Features and appearance of racks and
silverware basket may vary from your model.

Although the upper rack is for glasses, cups and

saucers, pots and pans can be placed in this
rack for effective cleaning. Cups and glasses fit
best along the sides and should be placed open-
end down. This is also a secure place for
dishwasher plastics.

The utility shelf (on some models) may be placed

in the up or down position to add flexibility.

The upper rack is good for all kinds of

odd-shaped utensils. Saucepans, mixing bowls
and other items should be placed face down.
Fold-down tines (onsome models) provide

flexibility for extra-large and hard-to-fit items.

Secure larger dishwasher-safe plastics over
2 tines when possible.

Make sure small plastic items are secure so they
can't fall onto the heater.

Be sure that items do not protrude through the
bottom of the rack and block rotation of the

middle spray arm. This will result in poor wash
performance for items in the upper rack.

Checkto make sure that no items in the lower
rack will block rotation of the wash arm mounted

under the upper rack.

A wine glass holder (on some models) secures
wine glasses for best washability. Because wine

glasses come in various sizes, after loading,
slowly push in the rack to make sure they will
clear the top of the dishwashec

such as measuring spoons and lidsfrom small
containers should go in the bottom of the

silverware basket with the silverware on top.
This could block the wash arm and cause poor

The stainless steel panels can be cleaned with CERAMABRVTE® Stainless Steel Appliance Cleaner
or a similar product using a clean, soft cloth. You can order CERAMABRVTE® Stainless SteelAppliance
Cleaner through GEParts by calling 800.626.2002 (for U.S.only). InCanada, call !.888.880.3030.

NOTE:Avoid streaks on stainless steel panels. Do not use wax on stainless steel panels.

The stainless steel used to make the dishwasher tub and inner door provides the highest reliability

available in a GEdishwasher If the dishwasher tub or inner door should be scratched or dented
during normal use,they will not rust or corrode. These surface blemishes will not affect their function

or durability.

If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place during the winter, ask a service technician to:

1.Turn off electrical power to the dishwasher. Remove fuses or trip circuit breaker

2.Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet line from the water valve.

3. Drain water from the water inlet line and water valve (use a pan to catch the water).

4. Reconnect the water inlet line to the water valve.

The Air
Gap

An air gap protects your dishwasher against water

backing up into it if a drain clogs.The air gap is not
a part of the dishwasher. It is not covered by your

warranty. Not all plumbing codes require air gaps,

so you may not have one.

A plugged or dirty air gap will prevent the

dishwasher from draining properly. Clean it out
if the dishwasher is not draining properly.

The air gap is easy to clean.

1.Turn off the dishwasher and lift off the chrome

cover

2. Unscrew or unsnap the plastic cap (depending
on model) and clean with a toothpick.

Check the air gap any time your
dishwasher isn't draining well.
