IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be

followed to minimize the risk of fire, explosion, electric

shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury,

or loss of life.

Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be produced

in a water heater that has not been used for two weeks or

more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.

If the hot water has not been used for two weeks or more, 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 which is 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 or use an open

flame or appliance during this process.

WATER HEATER SAFETY

DO NOT…

■Do not tamper with controls.

■Do not abuse, sit on, or stand

on the door or dish rack of

the dishwasher.

■Do not discard a dishwasher

without first removing the

door of the washing

compartment.

■Do not store or use

combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable

vapors and liquids in the

vicinity of this or any other

appliance.

■Do not allow children to

play inside, on or with this

appliance or any discarded

POTS & PANS For heavily soiled dishes or cookware with dried-on

or baked-on soils. Everyday dishes may be included.

HEAVY WASH For heavily soiled dishes or cookware. For dried-on or

baked-on soils, use the POTS & PANS cycle. Everyday

dishes may be included.

Using the dishwasher.

Check the Water Temperature

The entering water must 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 Jet-Dry ®Rinse Agent

Jet-Dry®rinse agent removes spots and prevents new film buildup on

your dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware and plastic.

A dispenser, located next to the detergent

cup, automatically releases a measured

amount of rinse aid during the last rinse.

If spotting and poor drying are problems,

increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed

y rotating the dial to a higher number.

The dial is located under the dispenser

cap. The indicator will be dark when full

and will show clear when it is time to refill.

To add liquid rinse aid, turn dispenser cap

1/4 turn counterclockwise

and lift out. Pour

in rinse aid until liquid touches the indicated

fill level. Replace the cap.

A full dispenser should last about one month.

If rinse agent spills, wipe up the excess.

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.

You’ll find two detergent cups on the inside door of your dishwasher.

For POTS & PANS,HEAVY WASH and NORMAL WASH, fill both cups.

For LIGHT WASH, fill only the Main Wash cup. Close the Main Wash

cup before closing the dishwasher door.

When using automatic

dishwashing detergent tabs, simply place one tab in the main wash

and close.

Loading the dishwasher racks.

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.

Cups and glasses fit best along the sides. This is

also a secure place for dishwasher-safe plastics.

A cup shelf (on some models) 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 fingers

when possible.

Make sure small plastic items are secure so they can’t fall

onto the heating element.

The Wash Tower

Keep the center area clear in the lower rack.

The wash tower rises through the center of the

lower rack during the wash and rinse portions of

the cycle.

Don’t block it or load tall things next to it.

Also, be careful not to let a

portion of an item such as a pot

or dish handle extend through

the bottom rack. This could block

the wash arm and cause poor

washing results.

Do not block center area
