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 or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or death.

WATER HEATER SAFETY

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.

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.

PROPER INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE

This dishwasher must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation

Instructions before it is used. If you did not receive an Installation Instructions sheet with your dishwasher, you can receive one by visiting our Website at GEAppliances.com.

■ Connect to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system; or run an equipmentgrounding conductor with the circuit conductors and connect to the equipmentgrounding terminal or lead of the appliance.

■ Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt whether the appliance is properly grounded.

■ Use supply conductors rated at least 75°C

(167°F).

■ Dispose of discarded appliances and shipping or packing material properly.

■ Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your dishwasher unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

■ To minimize the possibility of electric shock, disconnect this appliance from the power supply before attempting any maintenance.

NOTE: Turning the dishwasher off does not disconnect the appliance from the power supply. We recommend having a qualified technician service your appliance.

WARNING!

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 or removing the door latch.

■ 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 around dishwasher when opening or closing door due to the possibility of small fingers being pinched in door.

■ Do not allow children to play with, on or inside this appliance or any discarded appliance.

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 below to help prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Dishwasher:

■ Take off the door of the washing compartment or remove the door latch keeper (as shown).

Door latch keeper

WHEN USING YOUR DISHWASHER

CAUTION:

Contents washed in

Anti-Bacteria cycle may be hot to the touch.

Use care before unloading.

■ 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 Cascade Rinse

Aid ® rinse agents have been approved for use in all GE dishwashers.

■ Using a detergent that is not specifically designed for dishwashers will cause the dishwasher to fill with suds.

■ Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.

■ Do not wash plastic items unless marked

dishwasher safe or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.

■ Non-Dishware Items: Do not wash items such as electronic air cleaner filters, furnace filters and paint brushes in your dishwasher.

Damage to dishwasher and discoloration or staining of dishwasher may result.

■ Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.

■ Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.

■ Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is used by or near children.

■ Load light, plastic items so they will not become dislodged and drop to the bottom of the dishwasher—they might come into contact with the heating element and be damaged.

■ Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal.

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

Dish Preparation Prior to Loading

■ No pre-rinsing of normal food soil is required.

■ Scrape off hard soils, including bones, toothpicks, skins and seeds.

■ Remove large quantities of any remaining food.

■ Remove leafy vegetables, meat trimmings, and excessive amounts of grease or oil.

■ Remove acidic food soils that can discolor stainless steel.

Using the Dishwasher Door

1

The door must be closed to select a

LOAD SELECTION or an ENHANCEMENT.

2

If the door is opened during a cycle and left open, the dishwasher will beep once

every minute until the door is closed.

Proper Use of Detergent

Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Cascade ® , Cascade ®

Electrasol ®

Complete and

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.

All wash cycles except RINSE ONLY require detergent in the main and pre-wash cup.

The amount of detergent to use depends on whether your water is hard or soft. With hard water, fill the main wash section and pre-wash section completely. With soft water, fill both sections halfway. When using automatic dishwashing detergent tabs, simply place one tab in the main wash section and close.

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.

Filling the Dispenser

1

If the dispenser cover is closed, open the cover by depressing the cover latch.

Fill the Main Wash section with detergent.

Fill the Pre-Wash section if needed.

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

Tab

Although the upper rack is for glasses, cups and saucers, pots and pans can be placed in this rack for effective cleaning. Cups and glasses fit best along the sides. This is also a secure place for dishwasher-safe plastics.

The upper rack is adjustable (on some models) to add flexibility in loading your dishwasher. To lower, push tabs in and lower rack. To raise, just pull up on rack until it snaps.

The utility shelf (on some models) may be placed in the up or down position to add flexibility. A wine glass holder (on some models) secures wine glasses for best washability. Because wine glasses come in various sizes, after loading, slowly push in the rack to make sure they will clear the top of the dishwasher.

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.

Secure larger dishwasher-safe plastics over 2 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.

Check to make sure that no items will block rotation of the wash arms.

Lower Rack

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 maximize loading flexibility.

One-piece basket (on some models)

Three-piece basket (on some models)

Don’t let any item extend through bottom.

Silverware Basket

To load flatware, simply push the adjustable handle to either side (on some models).

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.

The one-piece silverware basket (on some models) can be placed in the front, right side or back of the 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.

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.

A variety of options is available regarding the three-piece silverware basket (on some models) 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.

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.

8

To remove end baskets, grasp the basket at opposite corners and slide apart.

Caring for the dishwasher.

To clean the control panel, use a lightly dampened cloth, then dry thoroughly. To clean the exterior, use a good appliance polish wax.

Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any part of the 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.

4

3

Drain water from the water inlet line and water valve. (Use a pan to catch the water.)

Reconnect the water inlet line to the water valve.

Two types of air gaps

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.

Check the air gap any time your dishwasher isn’t draining well.

The Stainless Steel Panels

The stainless steel panels can be cleaned with Stainless Steel Magic or a similar product using a clean, soft cloth.

You can order Stainless Steel Magic #

WX10X15 through GE Parts by calling

800.626.2002.

Problem Possible Causes

Control panel lights go off Time too long between when you’re setting controls touching of selected pads

Noise Some of the sounds you’ll hear are normal

Detergent left in dispenser cups

Water standing in the bottom of the tub

Water won’t pump out of the tub

Suds in the tub

Stained tub interior

Dishes and flatware not clean

What To Do

Each pad must be touched within 30 seconds of the others.

To relight, touch any pad again, or unlock and relatch door.

Detergent cup opening.

The motor stopping during the drying period.

Water draining out of the tub immediately after you touch START/RESET pad.

Make sure everything is secured in dishwasher.

Utensils are not secure in the rack or something small has dropped into the rack

Motor hums

Dishes are blocking the detergent cups

This is normal

Drain is clogged

Correct detergent wasn’t used

Rinse agent was spilled

Detergent with colorant was used

Some tomato-based foods can stain

Low inlet water temperature

Water pressure is temporarily low

Air gap is clogged

Improper rack loading

Dishwasher has not been used on a regular basis. If you do not use your dishwasher often, set it to fill and pump out once every week. This will help keep the seal moist.

Reposition the dishes.

A small amount of clean water around the outlet on the tub bottom at the back of the tub keeps the water seal lubricated.

If you have an air gap, clean it.

Check to see if your kitchen sink is draining well. If not, you may need a plumber.

If the dishwasher drains into a disposer, run disposer clear.

Use only automatic dishwasher detergents to avoid sudsing.

Cascade ® , Cascade ® Complete 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 evaporate. Add 1 gallon of cold water to the tub. Close and latch the dishwasher. Pump out water by pressing the

START/RESET pad; then immediately press the START/RESET pad again. Repeat if necessary.

Always wipe up rinse agent spills immediately.

Some detergents contain colorant (pigment or dyes) that will discolor the tub interior with extended use. Check the detergent cup for signs of any discoloration. If cup is discolored, change to detergent without any colorant. Cascade ® , Cascade ® Complete and Electrasol ® Automatic Dishwashing Detergents have been approved for use in all GE dishwashers.

Use of the RINSE ONLY cycle (on some models) after adding the dish to the load can decrease the level of staining. GE recommends Cascade types of stains.

® Power Booster to help remove these

Make sure inlet water temperature is correct (see page 6).

Turn on a faucet. Is water coming out more slowly than usual?

If so, wait until pressure is normal before using your dishwasher.

Clean the air gap.

Make sure large dishware does not block the detergent dispenser or the wash arms.
