IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS MESURES DE SÉCURITÉ IMPORTANTES

▲ 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.

  • Do not tamper with controls.
  • Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish rack of the Chef's Washer.
  • Do not discard a Chef's Washer 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 inside, on or with this appliance or any discarded appliance.
  • Do not allow children to play around the Chef's Washer when opening and closing the door due to possibility of small fingers being pinched in the door.

▲ AVERTISSEMENT!

A junked or abandoned Chef's Washer is dangerous...even if it will sit for "just a few days." If you are getting rid of your old Chef's Washer, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Chef's Washer:

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

▲ AVERTISSEMENT! RISQUE D'ENFANT MIS AU PIÈGE

BONNE DISPOSITION DU LAVE-VAISSELLE DU CHEF

▲ 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 allowing 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.

▲ SÉCURITÉ DU CHAUFFE-EAU

This Chef's Washer 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 Chef's Washer, you can receive one by visiting our Website at monogram.com.

  • Connect 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.

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

  • Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your Chef's Washer 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 Chef's Washer off does not disconnect the appliance from the power supply. We recommend having a qualified technician service your appliance.

INSTALLATION ET ENTRETIEN APPROPRIÉS

WHEN USING YOUR CHEF'S WASHER

▲ CAUTION: Contents washed in the Sanitization cycle may be hot to the touch. Use care before unloading.

  • Use only powder, tabs or liquid detergents or wetting agents recommended for use in a Chef's Washer and keep them out of the reach of children.
  • Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal.
  • Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
  • Do not wash cookware 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 Chef's Washer. Damage to Chef's Washer and discoloration or staining of Chef's Washer may result.

NOTE: The above chart is a general guide. Detergent amounts should be adjusted depending on the amount and type of soil until satisfactory results are achieved.

Chef's Washer

Water Temperature

The entering water must be at least 120^ F ( 49^ C) and not more than 150^ F ( 66^ C), 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 Chef's Washer, 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.

Fill the rinse agent chamber by rotating the round cap counterclockwise and remove. Fill chamber to maximum level. Replace and lock the cap into place.

To check if rinse agent is needed: a solid black indicator indicates sufficient rinse agent; a clear indicator indicates a low level and requires adding more rinse agent.

- A full dispenser should last about one month.

GE ZBD6605GSS - Use a Rinse Agent - 1

natural_image Illustration of a hand using a tool to apply material to a small container (no text or symbols visible)

- If rinse agent spills, wipe it up immediately. It can keep your detergent from working. - If after washing you notice cloudy spots, streaks or water marks on the glassware, and the rinse agent dispenser is not empty, it may be necessary to increase the dispenser settings. To do so, remove the cap and using a butter knife, rotate the indicator arrow to a higher number. Replace the cap when done.

- If glasses appear smeared or there is foam present on the bottom of the glasses or the bottom of the machine, select a lower dosage number.

- For softened water, reduce dispenser setting.

GE ZBD6605GSS - Use a Rinse Agent - 2

text_image Light level indicator 45 41 271 MAX Adjust to higher or lower number

Detergents

Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Keep your powdered 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 Chef's Washer 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.

To open the detergent compartment, push the lever latch inward.

When using automatic dishwashing detergent tabs, place one tab in the main cup and close.

Be sure the Cycle Status Indicators (on some models) are not lit before adding detergent. Otherwise, the detergent cup will not close and latch properly. Add detergent, then close the main cup.

NOTE: To open detergent cup after it has been closed, push the lever latch inward.

This Chef's Washer is designed for dishwasher-safe gourmet cookware.

Upper Rack

The upper rack is for small bowls and pans. This is also a secure place for dishwasher-safe plastics.

Because bowls and casserole dishes come in various sizes, after loading, slowly push in the rack to make sure they will clear the top of the Chef's Washer.

The upper rack is also good for all kinds of oddly-shaped utensils. Saucepans, mixing bowls and other items should be placed face down.

Make sure small plastic items are secure so they can't fall onto the heating element.

Adjusting Upper Rack Height

The upper rack can be raised or lowered to provide extra room for different sized items. Empty the upper rack. Remove the rail pegs in the front of the rack runners by squeezing and lifting the top of the peg, then slide the rack out.

Silverware and Utensil 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.

Flip-down covers can be lowered to secure lightweight items from the effects of the vigorous wash action. The slots in the covers can be used to separate silverware.

Don't let any item extend through bottom

Lower Rack

When loading the lower rack, do not load tall platters or trays in the front left corner. They may prevent detergent cup from opening during the wash cycle.

The lower rack is best used for large trays, saucepans and cookware. There is 15" clearance for tall items. 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 down or the center of the rack.

Fold-down tray dividers provide flexibility for extra large and hard-to-fit items.

The tray dividers may be left in the up position or folded down to customize the lower rack.

Protect Against FreezingIf your Chef's Washer is left in an unheated place during the winter, ask a service technician to:1. Cut off electrical power to the Chef's Washer. 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.5. Remove the filters from the tub bottom and use a sponge to soak up water.
The Air GapAn air gap protects your Chef's Washer against water backing up into it if a drain clogs. The air gap is not a part of the Chef's Washer. 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 Chef's Washer and lift off the chrome cover.2. Unscrew the plastic cap and clean with a toothpick. GE ZBD6605GSS - Lower Rack - 2Check the air gap any time your Chef's Washer isn't draining well.

Removing and Cleaning the Spray Arms and Glass Trap

Periodically, remove and clean the spray arms to make sure that none of the nozzles have become blocked.

To remove the lower spray arm, grasp the center of the spray arm and pull upward; it will unclip. When replacing, make sure the spray arm is fully seated and spins.

The plastic cone on the underside of the spray arm can be detached by unscrewing it counterclockwise.

To remove the upper spray arm, carefully unscrew the spray arm from the plastic tower. To achieve this, hold the inner tower steady and unscrew the spray arm clockwise. To replace the spray arm, carefully screw the spray arm counterclockwise onto the inner tower.

To clean the upper and lower spray arms, rinse them under running water and make sure spray nozzles are clear.

The glass trap is located in the stainless steel filter at the base of your Chef's Washer. The glass trap is used to collect larger food items and other foreign objects, which may be too big to pass through the drain pump. For best wash performance, check the glass trap occasionally.

To remove the glass trap, twist counterclockwise, rotate the glass trap and lift. To clean the glass trap, empty and rinse thoroughly. To replace, reverse these steps, making sure the glass trap locks into place.

The Wash Filters

In addition to the glass trap, your Chef's Washer has three fine filters—

  • a two piece round perforated stainless steel filter located in the base of the Chef's Washer.
  • a finer micro-mesh filter located under the stainless steel filter.
  • a super fine filter located below the lower spray arm.

Remove the stainless steel filter by first twisting and removing the glass trap. Lift out the stainless steel filter.

Attached to the underside of this filter is the micro-mesh filter. To remove the micro-mesh filter, squeeze the two clips above the stainless steel filter to release the micro-mesh.

To remove the super fine filter, remove the lower spray arm. Grasp the super fine filter around the outer edges. Remove by pulling upward; it will unclip. Unscrew the tower counterclockwise. The right half of the stainless steel filter can now be removed.

To clean filters, place under running water and gently brush with a soft bristled brush. Be careful not to deform filters while cleaning, as this may prevent them from being properly re-installed.

The super fine filter is self-cleaning; there is no need to clean it. This filter need only be removed if you want to remove the right half of the stainless steel filter.

Replace your filters in the reverse order, starting with the right half of the stainless steel filter. Then screw in the tower. Replace the super fine filter over the tower by pressing firmly on the outer edge until it clips into place and reposition the lower spray arm. Reconnect the micro-mesh filter to the left half of the stainless steel filter prior to replacing it back into the Chef's Washer. Then replace the glass trap. Ensure that all filters are replaced correctly for best results.

Water Fill Level

For best performance, check the water fill level of your Chef's Washer.

Once the Chef's Washer is fully connected, run it through a complete RINSE ONLY (on some models) cycle to ensure it is emptying and filling correctly. For low water pressure situations, run the RINSE ONLY (on some models) cycle 3 times. Halfway through the final RINSE ONLY (on some models) cycle, pause the Chef's Washer and check the water level inside the Chef's Washer. If the water level is not above the minimum water level (marked on the lower spray support tower), increase the fill level.

  1. Ensure the Chef's Washer is not running through a cycle. Depress the WATER TEMP button for ten seconds until the second buzzer sounds.
  2. Press the START/CANCEL button to select fill time, as per chart (65 seconds is the factory setting).
  3. To test time, press DELAY START. The Chef's Washer will start filling. Listen for the Chef's Washer to complete filling. Once filled, the fill level must be checked to ensure fill time is correct.
  4. Once complete, press the WATER TEMP button to exit fill time mode.
