Using the Dishwasher
Dishwasher
Detergents Use only detergent specifically made for use
in dishwashers. Cascade ® Platinum Pacs (]re
recommended. Powders, liquids and gels may
also be used but may not work as effectively.
Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Don't put
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.
Usethe information in the table below as a
guideline to determine the amount of automatic
dishwasher detergent to place in the dispenser.
When using automatic dishwasher detergent
tablets, simply place one tablet in the dispenser
and close the cover.
Number
of Grains Detergent Cups to Fill
Less than 4 15 cup
4 to 8 25 cup
8 to 12 15 and 25 cups
Greater than 12 15, 25 cups and
the open cup
Do not use hand dish detergent.
m

NOTE: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.
"_9,,£ O'_
For heavily-soiled loads, use the Heavy cycle and add a little
extra detergent.

Loading the Racks
Dishwasher
For best dishwashing results, follow these
loading guidelines. Features and appearance
of racks and silverware baskets may vary from
your model.
Upper Rack The upper rack is for glasses, cups and saucers.
This is also a secure place for dishwasher-safe
plastics. A cup shelf 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.
Securelarger dishwasher-safe plastics over two
tines when possible.
Make sure small plastic items are secure so they
can't fall onto the heater.
Besure that items do not protrude through the
bottom of the rack and block rotation of the
middle spray arm. Thiscould result in poor wash
performance for items in the upper rack.
Lower Rack When loading the lower rack, do not load large
platters or trays in the front left corner. They may
prevent detergent from circulating during the wash
cycle.
The lower rack isbest used for plates, saucers
and cookware. Large items should go along the
sides. 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.
Be careful not to let a portion of any item, such as
a pot or dish handle, extend through the bottom
rack. This could block the wash arm and cause
poor washing results.
Wine Glass
Holder The Wine Glass Holder secures wine glasses
for best washability. You may also remove the
silverware basket to allow for all glasses loading
of the lower rack.

Loading the Rocks
Dishwasher
Silverware
Basket The silverware basket may be used without
the topper for quick loading. With the topper,
flatware is better positioned for the dishwasher to
thoroughly wash and dry all pieces by preventing
nesting.
Without the Topper
Put the 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 silverware on top.
With the Topper
Place small plastic items, such as measuring
spoons and lids from small containers, in the
bottom of the basket and snap the topper in
place. Insert spoons and forks, handles first,
through the holes in the topper. Place knives,
blades first, through the holes in the topper.

Care and Cleaning
Dishwasher
Exterior Cleaning the Door Panel
Before cleaning the front panel, make sure you
know what type of panel you have. Refer to the
last two letters of your model number. You can
locate your model number on the left-hand tub
wall just inside the door. If your model number
ends with SS,then you have a Stainless Steel door
panel.
Follow the instructions below for cleaning the door
panel for your specific model.
Stainless Steel Door Panel (model numbers
ending in SS)
The stainless steel panels can be cleaned with
Stainless Steel Magic or a similar product using
a clean, soft cloth. Do not use appliance wax,
polish, bleach or products containing chlorine on
Stainless Steel doors.
you can order Stainless Steel Magic #WX!OX29
through GEParts by calling 800.626.2002.
Cleaning the Control Panel
To clean the control panel, use a lightly dampened
cloth; then dry thoroughly. Do not use sharp
objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on the
control panel.

Careand Cleaning
Dishwasher
Spray Arms
and Filters The dishwasher will flush away all normal food
soils. However, objects (fruit pits, bones, etc.)
may collect in openings and should be removed
occasionally to avoid clogging the drain system.
ACAUTION: Personal injury hazard.
Before cleaning the interior, wait at least 20
minutes after a cycle for the heating element
to cool down. Failure to do so could result in
burn injuries.
Cleaning the Spray Arms
Because hard water chemicals will clog the spray
arm jets and bearings, it is necessary to clean the
spray arms regularly. To remove the spray arm,
twist the retaining nut 90 degrees and pull the
spray arm off the shaft.
Wash the arms in soapy, warm water and use a
soft brush to clean the jets. Replace them after
rinsing thoroughly.
taining
Upper rack Retaining nut
Cleaning the Filters
For best performance and results, the filter
assembly must be cleaned regularly. The filter
efficiently removes food particles from the wash
water, allowing water to be recirculated during
the cycle. For this reason, it isa good idea to
remove the large food particles trapped in the
filter frequently by rinsing the main filter and
cup under running water. To remove the filter
assembly, pull up on the cup handle. The entire
filter assembly should be cleaned at least once
a month. To clean the main filter and fine filter,
use a cleaning brush. Then, reassemble the filter
parts as shown in the illustration and reinsert the
entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning it
in place and pressing downward. The dishwasher
must never be used without the filters. Improper
replacement of the filter may reduce the
performance level of the appliance and may
damage dishes and utensils.

Dishwasher
Protect
Against
Freezing
If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place
during the winter, ask a service technician to:
1. Cut 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.
Does Your
Dishwasher
Have an 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 isnot covered byyour
warranty. Not all plumbing codes require air gaps,
soyou may not have one.
The air gap is easy to clean.
1. Turn off the dishwasher and lift off the chrome
cover.
2. Remove the plastic cap and clean with
a toothpick.
Two types of
air gaps
b
Check the air gap any time your dishwasher
isn't draining well.
Stainless
Steel
Interior-
Tub and
Inner Door
The stainless steel used to make the dishwasher
tub and inner door provides the highest
reliability available in a Monogram dishwasher.
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.
