SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WATER HEATER SAFETY
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two or more weeks.
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 allowing 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.
RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE DISHWASHER
Junked or abandoned dishwashers are dangerous…even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you
are getting rid of your dishwasher, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.
Do not allow children to play with, on, or inside this or any discarded appliance.
Take off the door of the washing compartment or remove the latch by removing the screw
from the latch receiver inside the tub (as shown).
To prevent minor injury and property damage
During or after wash cycle, contents may be hot to the
touch. Use care before handling.
Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is used by
or near children. Do not allow children to play around the
dishwasher when closing the door, closing the upper rack,
or while vertically adjusting the upper rack due to the
possibility of small fingers being pinched.
Non-Dishware Items: Do not wash items such as
electronic air cleaner filters, furnace filters and paint
brushes in your dishwasher. Damage to the dishwasher
and discoloration or staining of the dishwasher may
result.
Load light-weight, plastic items so they do not become
GLVORGJHGDQGGURSWRWKHERWWRPRIWKHGLVKZDVKHU³
they might come into contact with the heating element
and be damaged.
This appliance must be supplied with 120V, 60 Hz, and
connected to an individual, properly grounded branch
circuit, protected by a 15 or 20 amp circuit breaker or
time-delay fuse.
If the electric supply provided does not meet the above
specifications, it is recommended that a licensed
electrician install an approved outlet.
Your dishwasher circuit should not be used for any other
appliance while the dishwasher is in operation as the
dishwasher requires the full capacity of the circuit.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
If your dishwasher is connected to a wall switch,
ensure that the switch is on prior to use.
If you choose to turn the wall switch off between
wash cycles, allow 5-10 seconds after turning
the switch on before touching START to allow the
control to initialize.
Use only powder, Cascade®All-in-1 ActionPacs™, liquid
detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a
dishwasher and keep them out of the reach of children.
Cascade®All-in-1 ActionPacs™ Automatic Dishwashing
Detergent, and Cascade® Rinse Aid™ rinse agents have
been approved for use in all GE dishwashers.

Using the Dishwasher
Dishwasher
Check
the Water
Temperature
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 a
Rinse
Agent
A rinse agent improves dry performance, reduces
spots and prevents new film buildup
on your dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware
and plastic. Cascade® Complete Rinse Aid
is recommended rinse agents for Monogram
Dishwashers.
Filling the Dispenser
The rinse agent dispenser holds 3.5 oz. of rinse
agent. Under normal conditions, this will last
approximately one month. Try to keep it full,
but do not overfill.
1. Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.
2. Turn the dispenser cap to the left and
lift it out.
3. Add rinse agent until the indicator window
looks full.
4. Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a
damp cloth.
5. Replace the dispenser cap.
Rinse Aid Setting
The amount of rinse agent released into the final
wash can be adjusted. The factory setting is at the
midpoint. If there are rings of calcium (hard water)
spots on dishes, try a higher setting. If you observe
foam in the final rinse, try a lower setting.
To adjust the setting, remove the dispenser
knob; then turn the adjuster counterclockwise to
increase the amount of rinse agent or clockwise
to reduce the amount of rinse agent dispensed.

•No pre-rinsing of normal food soil is required if using

•Remove large quantities of any remaining food.
•Remove leafy vegetables, meat, trimmings and
excessive amounts of grease or oil.

Use only detergent specifically made for use
in dishwashers. Cascade®Platinum Pacs are
recommended. Powders, liquids and gels may
also be used but may not work as effectively.
.HHS\RXUGHWHUJHQWIUHVKDQGGU\'RQ·WSXW
GHWHUJHQWLQWRWKHGLVSHQVHUXQWLO\RX·UHUHDG\WR
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.
When using automatic dishwasher detergent
tablets, simply place one tablet in the dispenser
and close the cover.
Do not use hand dish detergent.
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.

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.
Secure larger dishwasher-safe plastics over two
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.
Upper Rack
For best dishwashing results, follow these
loading guidelines. Features and appearance
of racks and silverware baskets may vary from
your model.
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 is best 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.

Care and Cleaning

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)
For cleaning rust and tarnish, cleaners with oxalic
acid such as Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser™
will remove rust, tarnish and small blemishes.
Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit and rub in
the direction of the brush lines with a damp soft
sponge. Do not use appliance wax or polish on the
stainless steel.
For other blemishes and marks, use 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. You can order Stainless Steel Magic #
WX10X29 through GE Appliances Parts by calling
877.959.8688. In Canada, call 1-800-661-1616.
Integrated Door Panel (model numbers ending
in II) This is a custom installed door panel. You
will need to refer to the cabinet manufacturers
recommendations for proper cleaning.
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.

Care and 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.
CAUTION 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.
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 is a 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.

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 is not covered by your
warranty. Not all plumbing codes require air gaps,
so you 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.
