WARNING! 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 old dishwasher, please follow  
the instructions to help prevent accidents.  
Before You Throw Away Your Old Dishwasher  
Take off the door of the washing compartment or  
remove the door latch (as shown).

(on some  
models)  
When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions,  
including the following:  
WARNING!  
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose  
Do not touch the heating element during or  
as described in this Owner's Manual.  
immediately after use.  
Do not operate your dishwasher unless all  
enclosure panels are properly in place.  
Use only powder, tabs, liquid detergents or rinse  
agents recommended for use in a dishwasher and  
keep them out of the reach of children. Cascade®,  
Cascade® Complete and Electrasol® Automatic  
Dishwashing Detergents, and Jet-Dry® and

to damage the door seal.  
Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce  
the risk of cut-type injuries.  
Do not allow children to play with, on or inside this  
appliance or any discarded appliance.  
Do not wash plastic items unless marked  
dishwasher safe or the equivalent. For plastic  
items not so marked, check the manufacturer's  
recommendations.

Using the 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  
water faucet nearest the dishwasher, place the  
thermometer in a glass and let the water run  
prevent dish damage. Check the water temperature continuously into the glass until the temperature  
with a candy or meat thermometer. Turn on the hot stops rising.  
Use Jet-Dry® or Cascade Crystal Clear® Rinse Agent  
Jet-Dry® or Cascade Crystal Clear® rinse agents remove spots and prevent new film buildup on  
your dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware and plastic.  
Filling the Dispenser  
The rinse agent dispenser holds 3.5 oz. of rinse agent. Under normal  
conditions, this will last approximately one month. Refill when rinse agent  
is not visible in the indicator. Do not overfill.

Proper Use of Detergent  
For heavily-soiled loads, use the Pots and Pans or  
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.  
Heavy Wash cycle and add a little extra detergent.  
DO NOTUSE HAND DISH DETERGENT  
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.  
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.  
Use the information in the table below as a  
guideline to determine the amount of automatic  
dishwasher detergent to place in the dispenser.  
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.

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.  
Secure larger dishwasher-safe plastics over  
2 tines when possible.  
Upper Rack  
Although the upper rack is for glasses,  
cups and saucers, pots and pans can be  
placed in this rack for effective cleaning.  
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.  
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 should be placed  
face down. Fold-down tines (on some  
models) provide flexibility for extra-large  
and hard-to-fit items.  
Lower Rack  
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.  
The lower rack is best used for plates,  
saucers and cookware. Large items such  
as broiler pans and baking racks should  
go along the left-hand side. 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. If  
necessary, oversized glasses and mugs  
can be placed in the lower rack to  
Fold-down tines (on some models) provide  
flexibility for extra-large and hard-to-fit  
items. The tines may be left in the up  
position or folded down to customize  
the lower rack.  
maximize loading flexibility.  
Three-piece basket  
The lids of both end and middle baskets  
(on some models) can be closed to contain  
small items. Long items can be placed  
on the utility shelf in the upper rack.  
Silverware Basket  
To load flatware, simply push the  
adjustable handle to either side. Put  
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 the  
silverware on top.  
Don’t let any  
item extend  
through  
bottom.  
To remove end baskets, grasp  
the basket at opposite corners  
and slide apart.  
A variety of options is available regarding  
the three-piece silverware basket in your  
dishwasher. The complete basket is  
designed to fit on the right side of the  
lower rack. Additionally, each end of  
the basket is removable to add loading  
flexibility to accommodate flatware  
and lower rack capacity needs.

Cleaning the Exterior 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 BB, WW or CC, then you have a  
Painted Door panel. If your model number  
ends with SS, then you have a Stainless  
Steel Door panel. If your model number  
ends with CS, then you have a CleanSteel  
Door panel.  
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  
#WX10X15 through GE Parts by calling  
800.626.2002.  
CleanSteel Door Panel (model numbers  
ending in CS)  
Follow the instructions below for cleaning  
the door panel for your specific model.  
Use a clean, soft, lightly dampened cloth,  
then dry thoroughly. Do not use appliance  
wax, polish or any chemical agent on  
CleanSteel doors.  
Painted Door Panel (model numbers  
ending in BB–black, WW–white or  
CC–bisque)  
Use a clean, soft, lightly dampened cloth,  
then dry thoroughly. You may also use a  
good appliance wax or polish.  
Do not wipe the dishwasher with a soiled  
dish cloth or wet towel. These may leave  
a residue. Do not use scouring pads or  
powdered cleaners because these  
products can scratch the finish.  
Cleaning the Control Panel  
To clean the control panel, use a lightly  
dampened cloth. Then dry thoroughly.  
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 GE  
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.

Caring for the 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.  
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

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.

Does Your Dishwasher Have an Air Gap?  
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.  
Turn off the dishwasher and lift off the  
cover.

your dishwasher isn’t draining  
well.

pages, or visit ge.com. You may not need to call for service.  
Problem  
Possible Causes  
What To Do  
Dishes and flatware  
not clean  
Low inlet water temperature  
Make sure inlet water temperature is correct (see page 6). Turn on  
the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher, let run until the water  
temperature stops rising. Then start the dishwasher and turn off  
the faucet. This insures the entering water is hot.  
Water pressure is temporarily low Turn on a faucet. Is water coming out more slowly than usual?  
If so, wait until pressure is normal before using your dishwasher.  
Air gap or disposer is clogged  
Improper rack loading  
Clean the air gap or flush the disposer.  
Make sure large dishware does not block the detergent dispenser  
or the wash arms. See the Loading the dishwasher racks section.  
No air gap or high drain loop  
Verify that you have an air gap or a high drain loop. Refer to  
the Installation Instructions.

Low inlet water temperature  
Overloading the dishwasher  
Improper loading  
Old or damp powder detergent  
Rinse agent dispenser empty  
Too little detergent  
To remove stubborn spots and pre-existing film from glassware:  
1 Remove all metal utensils from the dishwasher.  
2 Do not add detergent.  
3 Select the POTS & PANS cycle.  
4 Start the dishwasher and allow to run for 18 to 22 minutes. Dishwasher  
will now be in the main wash.  
5 Open the door and pour 2 cups (500 ml) of white vinegar into the  
bottom of the dishwasher.  
6 Close the door and allow to complete the cycle. If vinegar rinse doesn’t  
work: Repeat as above, except use 1/4 cup (60 ml) of citric acid crystals  
instead of vinegar.  
Cloudiness on  
glassware  
Combination of soft water and  
too much detergent  
This is called etching and is permanent. To prevent this from happening,  
use less detergent if you have soft water. Wash glassware in the shortest  
cycle that will get them clean.  
Water temperature entering  
the dishwasher exceeds 150°F  
This could be etching. Lower the water heater temperature.  
Suds in the tub  
Correct detergent  
wasn’t used  
Use only automatic dishwasher detergents to avoid sudsing.  
Cascade® and Electrasol® Automatic Dishwashing Detergents  
have been approved for use in all GE dishwashers.  
To remove suds from the tub, open the dishwasher and let  
suds dissipate. Close and latch the dishwasher. Pump out water  
by touching the START/RESETpad once; then 30 seconds later,  
touch the START/RESETpad again. Repeat if necessary.
