Example:

The new GE Profile PDW8900Series, PWDW9700Series, and PDW9900Series dishwashersincorporatethe
following newfeatures for 2005:
SmartDispenseTM - A bulk liquiddetergentdispenseassembly is introducedwith this dishwasher.
It consistsof a dispensereservoir mountedwithin the inner door panel,a liquidlevel sensor con-
nected to a Low Detergent LED onthe control panel,anda positivedisplacement pumptoinject
theoptimal amount of detergent intothe dishwasher during each cycle.
A water hardnessselec-
tion mode permitsthe calibration ofthe location'swater hardness.
Single Rack WashTM - Inaddition tothe two rack wash cycles,this GE Profiledishwasher hasa
Single RackWash which bypassesthe lowerspray arm,directingthecleaning powertothe up-
per rack only.Water is dispensedfrom themiddleand upper wash armsonly.
Smart Fill - The wash system has been changed to a lowflow design.The wash, dry, and noise
performance haveall been improved.Smallerjets onthespray arms require lesswater to keep
-,
the pump primed. Lesswater allows the Calrodto heatthewater to a higher temperature, im-
proving bothwash and dry performances.
Angled Rack Dry - A newtop rackfeatures two adjustable-angle dividers. This prevents rinse
water from puddling, allowing
it to runoffthe bottomsof stemware, glasses, and cups.

Throughout this manual, features andappearance may vary from your model.

The automatic liquid dishwashing detergent

is basedon the soil level ofthe dishes andthe

cleaning of dishes and detergent usage.
Priortothefirst use, thisdishwasher must be
calibratedfor water hardness.This processrequires
the useof a water hardnesstest strip [part

SmartDispenseTM is a bulk liquiddetergent dispense
assembly consisting of the following components:
/'--
a
DetergentReservoir - Mountedwithin the inner
door panel
Detergent LevelSensor - Connectedtoa Low
Detergent LED onthe control panel
Positive Displacement Pump - Injects
the optimal amount of detergent intothe
dishwasher during each cycle.
Detergent Reservoir
Note:
The SmartDispenseTMsystem can only be
usedwith liquidor gel automatic dishwasher
detergent.
To fill the reservoir,push down onthe cap covering
the reservoirtoengage the ratchet,then turn
it
counterclockwise to open.
Positionthe door ata 30to45 degreeangle. Fill
the reservoirwith a liquidautomaticdishwasher
detergent until thedetergent reachesthe threads
of the reservoiraccess.The dispenserwill hold
approximately
45 ouncesof liquiddishwasher
detergent(about
1 to 2 monthssupply).
To removethe reservoir:
Note:
Removingthe reservoiraccess collarcauses
structural damage tothecollar. Itmust be replaced
with a newpart
# WD35X10059.
Removethe door panel. (See Door Panel.] Insert a
small flat-blade screwdriver into the slot inthe side
of the retaining collar and push the screwdriver
handlecounterclockwise while turning the reservoir
access collar counterclockwise a quarter turn.
Removethe retainingcollar. Unplugthe tube from
the reservoir outlet and disconnect the sensor from
thecontrol module.
Note: The dispensertank comes as an assembly.
Itincludesthe sensor withwire harness,gasket,
and retainingcollar.The completeassembly part
number is WD35X10058.
Placethe cap onthe reservoiraccess threads, push
down,thenturn clockwise untilthecap istight.

DetergentLevelSensor
The SmartDispenseTMdetergent levelsensor consists
of a single leveldetection continuity sensor and
includesthe following components:
a grommetseol
-
a low detergent LED indicator light
a wire harness.
When the detergent inthe reservoirdrops below

boardandthe low detergent
LED indicator light is
turned on. The lightindicates

The SmartDispenseTMpositive displacement pump
consistsof a continuous flexible tube runningfrom

A 3-roller impeller fits tightly into
the center ofthe pump housingwith each ofthe

impeller
is driven counterclockwise by the motor, it
squeezesout a predetermined amount of detergent

When to Purge the Bulk DispenserTank
Only liquidor gel automatic dishwoshing detergent
can be usedinthe bulkdispenser.The dispenser
must
be purged if the consumer putshand
dishwoshing detergent or o rinse agent inthe
dispenser.These productswill produce copious
amounts of suds,andwater leakswill resultevery
timethe dishwasher is run until thetank is emptied.
The dishwasher must also be purged ifa liquid
dishwasher detergent contoining chlorine
(likeCascode Pure Rinse Formula)and a liquid
dishwasher detergent contoining enzymes llike
CascadeComplete1have been mixed inthe
dispenser.When this happens,the chlorine destroys
the enzymes resulting inpoorwash performance.
You can tell ifthe detergent contains chlorine
or enzymes by reading the content label onthe
container.
A chemicalreactionalsotakes place between the
chlorinedetergent andthe enzyme detergent which
causesthetwo liquidstocoagulateand buildup
around the detergent levelsensor.This build up may
prohibit thesensor from sending the lowdetergent
signal tothe control board andthe law detergent
lightwill
not beilluminated whenthe bulkdispenser
is empty.
Consumer Purge Cycle
The consumer must enter Service Modetoactivate
the purgecycle.The purgecycle fillsthedishwasher
for
57 seconds,then energizesthe dispenser pump
[insteadof the main motor)continuously to drain
the bulk dispensertank.
The purgecycle deselectsall other optionsand
runsfor
65 minutes.The consumer should runthe
purge cycle
3 times,filling the dispensertank with
water for the secondandthird cycles.
Totaltime is
approximately 3 hours.
Followthese steps carefully tohave a successful
purge run.
