■On dishwashers with electronic controls,
if you choose to turn the wall switch off
between wash cycles, allow 5-10
seconds after turning the switch on before
touching START/RESET to allow the control

the dishwasher—they might come into contact
with the heating element and be damaged.
■Connect the dishwasher/appliance 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.
■Improper connection of the equipment-grounding

WARNING!
CAUTION: To prevent minor injury and property dama e
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a ater heater that has not been used
for t o or more eeks. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.
If the hot water has not been used for two or more weeks, 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 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, use an open flame, or use the appliance
during this process.

Fillin the Dispenser
Fill the rinse agent dispenser until it reaches the bottom of
lip inside the opening. Replace cap.
To check if rinse agent is needed, remove the cap and look
into the dispenser.
A full dispenser should last about one month.
If the rinse agent spills, ipe up the excess.
Check the Water Temperature
The entering water must be at least 49°C and
not more than 65°C, 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.
Adjust the maximum/minimum temperature of the
water heater if necessary to deliver water at the
proper temperature.
Use Jet-Dry®Rinse Agent
Proper Use of Detergent
Jet-Dry®or Cascade Crystal Clear®rinse agents remove spots and prevent new film buildup on dishes,
glasses, flatware, cookware and plastic.
Use only detergent specifically made for use in
dishwashers. Cascade®and Electrasol®Automatic
Dishwashing Detergents have been approved for use
in all GE dishwashers. Keep 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.
You’ll find two detergent dispensers on the inside door
of your dishwasher. All wash cycles require detergent
in the main cup. When using automatic dishwashing
detergent tabs, simply place one tab in the main cup
and close.
Be sure the Dial is OFF before adding detergent.
Otherwise, the detergent cup will not close and latch
properly. Add detergent; then close the main cup.
NOTE: To open detergent cup after it has been
closed, simply turn the detergent cup handle
counterclockwise until it releases. A snapping
sound may be heard.
DO NOT USE HAND DISH DETERGENT
NOTE: Using a detergent that is not specifically
designed for dish ashers ill cause the dish asher
to fill ith suds. During operation, these suds ill spill
out of the dish asher vents, covering the kitchen floor
and making the floor et.
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.

The upper rack is for glasses, cups and
saucers. Cups and glasses fit best along
the sides. This is also a secure place for
dishwasher-safe plastics. The upper rack is
good for all kinds of odd-shaped utensils.
Saucepans, mixing bowls and other items

MI E EN GARDE : pour éviter les blessures mineures ou les
dommages matériels
Dans certa nes cond t ons, de l’hydrogène peut être présent dans un chauffe-eau qu n’a pas été
ut l sé pendant deux sema nes ou davantage. L’HYDROGÈNE E T UN GAZ EXPLO IF.
Si l’eau chaude n’a pas été utilisée pendant deux semaines ou plus, réduisez les risques de dommages
ou de blessure en ouvrant tous les robinets d’eau chaude pendant plusieurs minutes. Faites cela avant
d’utiliser tout appareil électrique raccordé à la canalisation d’eau chaude. Cette précaution permettra
à toute accumulation d’hydrogène de se dissiper. Étant donné que ce gaz est inflammable, ne fumez
pas et n’utilisez pas de flamme ou d’appareil pendant ce processus.
