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

Tgpe A To load flatware, simply push the adjustable

handle to either side (onsome models). Put flatware in the removable basket with fork

and knife handles up to protect your hands. Place spoons in the basket with handles down. Mix knives, forks and spoons so theg don't nest

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 washing results.

To lower the rack, support the weight of the rack with your hands as shown, and press both finger

pads about 1/4" toward the inside of the rack as indicated, guiding the rack down to its lower position.

Freezing

To clean the control panel, use a lightly dampened cloth, then dry thoroughly. To clean the exterior

painted panels, use a good appliance polish wax. See the note below about wax on stainless steel panels.

Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.

The stainless steel panels can be cleaned with CERAMA BRVTE® Stainless Steel Appliance Cleaner or a similar product using a clean, soft cloth. You can order CERAMA BRVTE® Stainless Steel Appliance Cleaner through GE Parts by calling 800.626.2002 (for U.S. only). In Canada, 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.
