WATER HEATER SAFETY
PR PER INSTALLATI N AND MAINTENANCE
This dishwasher must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation
Instructions before it is used. If you did not receive an Installation Instructions sheet with
your dishwasher, you can receive one by visiting our website at GEAppliances.com.
nUsing a detergent that is not
specifically designed for
dishwashers will cause the
dishwasher to fill with suds.
nIf your dishwasher is
connected to a wall switch, ensure that
the switch is on prior to use.
nNon-Dishware Items: Do not wash items
such as electronic air cleaner filters,
furnace filters and paint brushes in your
dishwasher. Damage to dishwasher and
discoloration or staining of dishwasher
may result.
nClose supervision is necessary if this appliance
is used by or near children.
nLoad light, plastic items so they will not become
dislodged and drop to the bottom
of the dishwasher—they might come into contact
with the heating element and be damaged.
nConnect to a grounded metal, permanent wiring
system; or run an equipment-grounding conductor
with the circuit conductors and connect to the
equipment-grounding terminal
or lead of the appliance.
nImproper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or service representative if
you are in doubt whether the appliance is properly
grounded.
nDispose of discarded appliances and shipping
or packing material properly.
nDo not attempt to repair or replace any part
of your dishwasher unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other servicing
should be referred to a qualified technician.
nTo minimize the possibility of electric shock,
disconnect this appliance from the power supply
before attempting any maintenance.
!&Turning the dishwasher off does not disconnect
the appliance from the power supply. We recommend
having a qualified technician service your appliance.

Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two
weeks or more. +$! %%*"!%(
If the hot water has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility of damage or injury
by turning on all hot water faucets and allow them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical
appliance which is connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will allow any built-up hydrogen gas
to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or appliance during this process.

Bajo ciertas condiciones, puede producirse gas de hidrógeno en un sistema de agua caliente que no se ha
usado durante dos semanas o más. %$T !%*"!%(!
Si el agua caliente no se ha utilizado por dos semanas o más, evite la posibilidad de daños o lesiones abriendo
todos los grifos de agua caliente y dejándolos correr durante varios minutos. Haga esto antes de utilizar cualquier
aparato eléctrico que se encuentre conectado al sistema de agua caliente. Este simple procedimiento permitirá
que se libere cualquier clase de acumulación de gas de hidrógeno. Ya que el gas es inflamable, no fume o utilice
una llama abierta o un aparato durante este proceso.

The rinse agent dispenser holds 100 ml (3.5 fl. oz.) of rinse agent.
Under normal conditions, this will last approximately one month.
Try to keep it full, but do not overfill.
Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.

The amount of rinse agent released into the final wash can be

The entering water should be at least 120°F
and not more than 150°F, for effective cleaning
and to prevent dish damage. Check the water
temperature with a candy or meat
thermometer. Turn on the hot water faucet
nearest the dishwasher, place the thermometer
in a glass and let the water run continuously
into the
glass until the temperature stops rising.

Use only detergent specifically made for use
in dishwashers. -?/-01NAutomatic
Dishwashing Detergents have been approved for
use in all GE dishwashers. eep 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 is. Twelve or more grains
is extremely hard water. A water softener is
recommended. Without it, lime can build up
in the water valve, which could stick while open
and cause flooding. Too much detergent with
soft water can cause a permanent cloudiness
of glassware, called etching.
Use the information in the table below as a
guideline to determine the amount of automatic
dishwasher detergent to place in the dispenser.
For heavily-soiled loads, use the Pots and Pans or
Heavy Wash cycle and add a little extra detergent.
! !&'% %&$ &
!&Using a detergent that is not specifically
designed for dishwashers will cause the dishwasher
to fill with suds. During operation, these suds will spill
out of the dishwasher vents, covering the kitchen
floor and making the floor wet.
Because so many detergent containers look alike,
store the dishwasher detergent in a separate space
from all other cleaners. Show anyone who may use
the dishwasher the correct detergent and where
it is stored.
While there will be no lasting damage to the
dishwasher, your dishes will not get clean using a
dishwashing detergent that is not formulated to
work with dishwashers.
Soft Medium Soft Medium Hard Extremely Hard
A forgotten dish can be added any time before
the main wash.
Squeeze the door latch to release the door.
Do not open the door until the water spray

For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and silverware
baskets may vary from your model.
'<<1>$-/7
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. This is also a secure place for
dishwasher-safe plastics.
The utility shelf (on some models) may be placed in
the up or down position to add flexibility. 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 dishwasher.
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 (on
some 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 could result in poor wash
performance for items in the upper rack.

The lower rack is best used for plates, saucers and
cookware. Large items such as broiler pans and
baking racks should go along the left-hand side.
Load platters, pots and bowls along the sides, in
corners or in the back. The soiled side of items
should face the center of the rack. If necessary,
oversized glasses and mugs can be placed in the
lower rack to maximize loading flexibility.
Also, be careful not to let a portion of an item such
as a pot or dish handle extend through the bottom
rack. This could block the wash arm and cause
poor washing results.
Fold-down tines (on some models) provide
flexibility for extra-large and hard-to-fit items. The
tines may be left in the up position or folded down
to customize the lower rack.

To load flatware, simply push the adjustable
handle to either side (on some 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 they don’t nest
together. Distribute evenly. Small plastic items,
such as measuring spoons and lids from small
containers, should go in the bottom of the
silverware basket with the silverware on top.
The one-piece silverware basket (on some models)
can be placed in the front, right side or back of the
lower rack.
A variety of options is available regarding the
three-piece silverware basket (on some models)
in your dishwasher. The complete basket is
designed to fit on the right side of the lower rack.
Additionally, each end of the basket is removable
to add loading flexibility to accommodate flatware
and lower rack capacity needs.
The lids of both end and middle baskets
(on some models) can be closed to contain small
items. Long items can be placed on the utility shelf
in the upper rack.
The accessory
basket (on some
models) can hold
small items such
as: baby bottle
nipples, plastic lids,
corn cob holders, etc.
To remove end baskets, grasp the
basket at opposite corners and slide
apart.
