▲WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this guide 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 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 appliance.

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.

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 calling us toll-free in the USA, at the GE Answer Center ^® , 800.626.2000. In Canada, call 1.888.880.3030.

- 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 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.

WHEN USING YOUR DISHWASHER

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner's Guide.

• Use only powder, tabs or liquid detergents or wetting agents recommended for use in a dishwasher 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 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.

Read and follow this Safety Information carefully. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

You can locate your model number on the tub wall just inside the door. Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.

Control Settings

1. The Status

The Status display tells you what's happening while the dishwasher is in operation and also any malfunctions if they occur. The lights will come ON indicating the sequence of operation the dishwasher is in.

SENSING Displayed during periods using CLEANSENSOR technology to measure the amount of soil in the load and decide if another prewash is needed.

WASHING Displayed during prewash and main wash periods.

RINSING Displayed during rinse periods.

DRYING Displayed during HEATED DRY.

CLEAN Displayed when cycle is complete. Light remains ON until door is opened.

2. Load Selections

The light above the selected pad will be ON to indicate which LOAD SELECTION has been selected.

NORMAL For loads of everyday dishes, glasses and cookware with medium soils.

POTS PANS For heavily soiled dishes or cookware with dried-on or baked-on soils. Everyday dishes may be included. This cycle will not remove burned-on foods.

CHINA For lightly soiled china and crystal. CRYSTAL

GLASSES For loads of glassware. Especially good to reduce spotting and filming.

RINSE & HOLD For rinsing partial loads that will be washed later. Do not use detergent with this cycle.

3. Options

The light above the selected pad will be ON to indicate which OPTION has been selected.

POWER For use with heavily soiled and/or dried-on, baked-on soils. This option PRESOAK MUST be selected PRIOR to starting the cycle. This option adds 16 minutes to the cycle time.

HI TEMP RINSE Turns on the heater in all prerinse and final rinse cycles to help prevent spotting on dishware. This option may be turned ON or OFF during the wash cycle.

HEATED DRY Shuts off the drying heat options. Dishes air dry naturally and energy is OFF saved. You can prop the door open after the light goes ON next to the word CLEAN which appears in the STATUS display for faster drying.

HEATED DRY Turns the heater on for fast drying. This cycle will extend the time ON to your wash cycle by 30 minutes. NOTE: Cannot be selected with RINSE & HOLD cycle.

LOCK When the LOCK pad is touched twice within 3 seconds, all pads become inoperative. You can lock the controls to prevent any selections from being made. Or you can lock the controls after you have started a cycle or selected DELAY START so the cycle or DELAY START is not interrupted. Children cannot accidentally start dishwasher by touching pads with this option selected. To unlock the dishwasher after it has been locked, touch the LOCK pad twice within 3 seconds. The light above the LOCK pad will be off.

DELAY START You can delay the start of a wash cycle for up to 8 hours. Press and hold the DELAY START pad to choose the number of hours you want to delay the start of the cycle. The machine will count down and start automatically at the correct time. NOTE: If you forget to lock the door a reminder signal will beep until you do so.

RESET To change a cycle after washing starts, touch the START/RESET pad to cancel the cycle. After water is pumped out and motor stops, you can reprogram and restart the dishwasher.

4. Start

Close the door until it locks into place and touch the START/RESET pad to begin the cycle. There is a time delay between start-up and water fill so you will not hear any wash action right away.

The cycle is complete when the light is ON next to the word CLEAN in the STATUS display.

NOTE: The dishwasher remembers your last cycle so you don't have to reprogram each time. When the dishwasher is loaded and door latch is in the locked position, the control panel lights will be on and display the last settings you selected.

If you don't want to change any of the settings, simply touch the START/RESET pad to begin the cycle.

Also, if a power failure occurs, NORMAL and HEATED DRY will automatically be programmed. Make any new selections and touch the START/RESET pad to begin the cycle.

Using the dishwasher

	Dishwasher
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 build-up on your dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware and plastic.Fill the rinse agent dispenser until it reaches the bottom of lip inside the opening. Replace the 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 rinse agent spills, wipe it up immediately. It can keep your detergent from working.
Dishwasher Door	1. The door must be closed and locked into place to select a LOAD SELECTION or an OPTION.2. If the door is opened during a cycle and left open, the dishwasher will beep once every minute until the door is closed and latched into place.
Adding a Forgotten Dish	A forgotten dish can be added any time before the detergent cup opens.1. Push the door latch to the left.2. Do not open the door until the water spray action stops. Steam may rise out of the dishwasher.3. Add forgotten dishes.4. Close the door and push the latch to the far right.

Detergents

Use only detergent specifically made for use in 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 dispensers on the inside door of your dishwasher. All wash cycles require detergent in the main cup. Wash cycles with two washes will also use the open cup. When using automatic dishwashing detergent tabs, simply place one tab in the main cup and close.

Be sure the control panel lights 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, simply turn the detergent cup handle counter-clockwise until it releases. A snapping sound may be heard.

DETERGENT Open Cup Main Cup

Illustration of hands using a tool to press or adjust a circular component, with no visible text or symbols.

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 cup 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 at an angle 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.

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.

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.

A second wash tower is located in the top rack. Water from the wash tower in the lower rack shoots up into this wash tower and out the openings at the top. When loading items around this wash tower do not block the top openings.

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.

Technical line drawing of a mechanical assembly with multiple circular components and a central shaft (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.

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

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

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.

To increase the flexibility of the lower rack, the silverware basket may be split. Grasp the basket at opposite corners and slide apart. The basket sections should be placed in the lower rack by hanging them on the top hoop.

A cover can be lowered to either side to secure lightweight items from the effects of the vigorous wash action.

The accessory basket can hold small items such as: baby bottle nipples, plastic lids, corn cob holders, etc. It can hang from the top hoop of the upper rack along the right side or it can also hang on the right or left side of the lower rack. When hanging the accessory basket on the right side in the upper rack make sure the top is closed and nothing is sticking out.
