IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING — SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

⚠ WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, and to prevent property damage, personal injury, or death.

▲WARNING! 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 allow 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.

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 ge.com.

■Connect the dishwasher/appliance to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system; or run an equipment-grounding conductor with the circuit conductors and connect to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead of the appliance.
■Improper connection of the equipment-grounding 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.

Before Operating the Dishwasher the First Time

Attach the faucet adapter. The special faucet adapter supplied with your dishwasher must be assembled to the sink faucet before you can use your dishwasher.

The faucet adapter is designed to fit standard spouts having internal or external threads. You will find the adapter and two washers in the faucet adapter packet in your dishwasher.

To install faucet adapter, first remove the old aerator or trim ring on your faucet spout.

If faucet has external threads: Insert the thinner of the two washers into the faucet adapter and attach it to the faucet spout.

Tighten with pliers.

If faucet has internal threads: Insert both of the washers into the faucet adapter and attach it to the faucet spout.

Tighten with pliers.

If the faucet adapter threads do not match your faucet spout, your local hardware or plumbing supply store normally has additional fittings to adapt your faucet spout to the special faucet adapter.

NOTE: A sink spray attachment hose can burst if it is installed on the same sink with your dishwasher. We suggest that you disconnect the sink spray attachment if your sink has one and plug the hole.

Line drawing of a hand operating a mechanical device with no visible text or symbols

How to Connect the Unicouple

1 Run the hot water faucet to purge cold water from the hot water line. The hot water must be between 120^ F and 150^ F for best wash performance.
2 Pull Unicouple and its hoses completely out from storage compartment located at rear of dishwasher.
3 Attach the Unicouple connector to the faucet adapter by depressing the collar at the top of the connector. When Unicouple is all the way up onto the adapter, release the collar. It will then snap into position to lock the Unicouple in place.

The Unicouple's small hose carries water from the faucet to the dishwasher. Its large hose carries drain water to the sink. Be sure Unicouple is pointing toward the sink bowl drain opening and the sink drain is open for water that will drain from your dishwasher. If your dishwasher drains into a disposer, operate the disposer until it is completely empty before starting the dishwasher.

4 Turn hot water fully on before starting the dishwasher.

5 Plug the dishwasher power cord into the outlet.

Pressure release button

How to Disconnect the Dishwasher

1 Unplug the dishwasher.
2 Push the cord back into its storage location.
3 Turn off the hot water.
4 Release the water pressure by depressing the pressure release button.
5 Release the Unicouple from the faucet by depressing the collar at the top of the Unicouple connector.

6 Drain excess water from the unicouple hoses (see below). Push the hoses back into their storage location.

▲CAUTION: To protect yourself and the room from severe splashing, relieve water pressure prior to disconnecting the unicouple.

Line drawing of a hand using a tool to lift a curved pipe or valve (no text or symbols present)

How to Drain Excess Water From Unicouple Hoses

If the sink is 34" or higher from the floor, the excess water in Unicouple hoses cannot be drained directly into the sink. It will be necessary to drain excess water from hoses into a bowl or suitable container that is held outside and lower than the sink.

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.

Adjust the maximum/minimum temperature of the water heater if necessary to deliver water at the proper temperature.

Use Jet-Dry ^® Rinse Agent

Jet-Dry ^® or Cascade Crystal Clear ^® rinse agents remove spots and prevent new film buildup on dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware and plastic.

Filling the Dispenser

Fill the rinse agent dispenser until it reaches the bottom of lip inside the opening. Replace cap.

To check if rinse agent is needed, remove the cap and look into the dispenser.

A full dispenser should last about one month.

If the rinse agent spills, wipe up the excess.

Illustration of a hand using a tool to add liquid into a container with a lid nearby (no text or symbols)

Proper Use of Detergent

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.

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.

Be sure the Dial is OFF before adding detergent. Otherwise, the detergent cup will not close and latch properly. Add detergent then close the main cup.

Open cup Main cup

NOTE: To open detergent cup after it has been closed, simply turn the detergent cup handle counterclockwise until it releases. A snapping sound may be heard.

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.

Number of Grains	Detergent Cups to Fill
Less than 4	Fill to 1/3 of main cup
4 to 8	Fill to 2/3 of main cup
8 to 12	Fill main cup
Greater than 12	Fill main cup and open cup

You'll find two detergent dispensers on the inside door of your dishwasher. All wash cycles require detergent in the main cup. When using automatic dishwashing detergent tabs, simply place one tab in the main cup and close.

For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and silverware baskets may vary from your model.

Illustration of a metal crate filled with various cylindrical containers (no text or symbols visible)

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. 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.

Line drawing of various household items including household chores, kitchen utensils, and household items (no text or symbols)

Lower Rack

When loading the lower rack, do not load large platters or trays in the front right corner. They may prevent detergent from circulating during the wash cycle.

The lower rack is best used for plates, saucers and cookware. Large items such as broiler pans and racks 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.

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 the wash tower or load tall things next to it.

Be sure items don't fall through rack and block rotation of the spray arm.

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.

Illustration of a basket filled with spoons and utensils, with an inset showing a crossed-out food stall (no text or symbols)

Silverware Basket

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 silverware on top.

DON'T LET ANY ITEM EXTEND THROUGH BOTTOM OF SILVERWARE BASKET AND RACK, TO ENSURE PROPER FUNCTION OF SPRAY ARM.

Forget to Add a Dish?

A forgotten dish can be added any time before the main wash.

1 Push the door latch to the left.
2 Once the water calms, open the door. Steam may rise out of the dishwasher.
3 Add forgotten dish.
4 Close the door and push the latch to the far right.

Tips for Loading and Good Wash Performance

- Don't block the lower rack wash tower.

- Don't let items fall through rack and block spray arms.

Illustration of a basket filled with cutlery and spoons, with a crossed-out prohibition sign below (no text or symbols on the main image)

To clean the control panel, use a lightly dampened cloth, then dry thoroughly. To clean the exterior, use a good appliance polish. Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.

Protect Against Freezing

Sump cover screws

If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place during the winter, ask a service technician to:

1 Unplug the dishwasher from the wall outlet.
2 Remove the Unicouple from the faucet. Disconnect the hose from the water valve.

3 Drain water from the inlet line and water valve. (Use a pan to catch the water.)
4 Reconnect the water inlet line to the water valve.
5 Remove the plastic sump cover in the tub bottom and use a sponge to soak up water in the rubber boot.
