Dishwashing Detergents have been approved for use
in all GEdishwashers.Keepuour detergent fresh and

detergent.
Protect your dishes and dishwasherby contacting
your water department and asking how hard your
water is.Twelve or more grainsis extremely hard

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
