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 or 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 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.

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 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.

CAUTION: To prevent minor injury or property damage

Contents washed in Anti-bacterial mode, if available, may be hot to the touch. Use care before handling.
Using a detergent that is not specifically designed for dishwashers will cause the dishwasher to fill with suds.
If your dishwasher is connected to a wall switch, ensure that the switch is on prior to use.
On dishwashers with electronic controls, if you choose to turn the wall switch off between wash cycles, allow 5-10 seconds after turning the switch on before touching START/RESET to allow the control to reboot.

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.
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.

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).

NOTE: CDW9000 Series and PDW9200-PDW9900 Series models also have a latch screw which must be removed (Step 1) as shown.

Recommended dishwasher products.

GE recommends the following products for use in its dishwashers:

For your manual detergent dispenser, Cascade and Electrasol powder, liquid or gel automatic dishwasher detergents are approved.
For your SmartDispense™ Detergent Dispenser, use only the recommended detergents listed on page 10 of this manual.
- Jet Dry® or Cascade Crystal Clear® rinse agents to remove spots and prevent new film buildup on your dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware and plastic. Using rinse agent also improves dry performance.

• Cascade® Plastic Booster™ to remove red staining inside your dishwasher that can come from some tomato-based foods.
  Cerama Bryte® Stainless Steel Appliance Cleaner to clean the exterior stainless steel panel of GE and Profile™ dishwashers (for stainless steel exterior models only).

Using the dishwasher.

Check the Water Temperature

The entering water should be at least 120^ and not more than 150^ 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® or Cascade Crystal Clear® Rinse Agent

Jet-Dry® or Cascade Crystal Clear® rinse agent improves drying, removes spots and prevents 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. Try to keep it full, but do not overfill.

1 Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.
Turn the dispenser cap to the left and lift it out.
3 Add rinse agent until the indicator window looks full.
4 Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a damp cloth.
Replace the dispenser cap.

Rinse Aid Setting

The amount of rinse agent released into the final wash can be adjusted. The factory setting is at the midpoint. If there are rings of calcium (hard water) spots on dishes, try a higher setting. If there is foaming, use a lower setting.

To adjust the setting:

Remove the dispenser cap;

then turn the adjuster

counterclockwise to

increase the amount

of rinse agent or

clockwise to reduce

the amount of rinse agent dispensed.

Dish Preparation Prior to Loading

No prerinsing of normal food soil is required.
Scrape off hard soils, bones, toothpicks, skins and seeds.

Remove large quantities of any remaining food.
Remove leafy vegetables, meat trimmings and excessive amounts of grease or oil.

Manual Detergent Dispenser

Your dishwasher comes equipped with an automatic liquid dishwasher detergent dispenser (SmartDispenseTM) and a manual dispenser. You can use either of these dispensers but don't use both at the same time.

The cover of the manual dispenser will open during the wash cycle. If you are using SmartDispense™, leave the cover of the manual dispenser open before starting the cycle.

For the manual dispenser, Cascade® and Electrasol® Automatic Dishwashing Detergents have been approved. You may use powder, liquid, gel or tablets in this dispenser. It is important to keep powdered detergents and tablets fresh and dry so they don't lose effectiveness. Therefore, do not put detergent into the manual dispenser until you are ready to wash dishes.

Filling Manual Detergent Dispenser

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 guide to determine the amount of automatic dishwasher detergent to place in the dispenser. You may use powder, liquid, gel or tablets in this dispenser.

When using automatic dishwashing detergent tablets, simply place one tablet in the main wash section and close the cover.

Number of Grains	Detergent Cups to Fill
Less than 4	Fill cup to soft line (1/3 full)
4 to 8	Fill cup to medium soft line (2/3 full)
8 to 12	Fill cup to medium hard line (completely full)
Greater than 12	Fill both main wash cup and pre wash cup

For heavily soiled loads, use a bit more detergent. For water temperatures above 140^ , use a bit less detergent.

For heavily soiled loads, use the Pots and Pans or Heavy Wash cycle.

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.

Using the dishwasher.

SmartDispense™ Detergent Dispenser (some models)

This dishwasher may have SmartDispenseTM, a feature which automatically dispenses liquid automatic dishwasher detergent into each cycle based on soil level and water hardness.

To utilize the SmartDispense™ Detergent Dispenser, it must first be filled. Although any liquid or gel automatic dishwashing detergent can be used in the SmartDispense™ system, all liquid or gel automatic dishwashing detergents are not the same. Most automatic dishwashing detergents are chlorine bleach-based (such as Cascade® or Electrasol®) while others contain enzymes (such as Cascade Complete® or Electrasol® Advanced™ Gel).

Do not mix any chlorine bleach-based automatic dishwashing detergent with any dishwashing detergent containing enzymes as this could cause the detergents to congeal and lead to blockage of the SmartDispense™ system. Check the detergent label to determine if the detergent is chlorine bleach-based or one that contains enzymes. It is recommended that the same type of detergent be used when refilling your SmartDispense™ system.

CAUTION! Absolutely do not add powder detergent, tablets or any liquid soap or detergent normally used for washing hands or dishes in a sink. Only use liquid or gel detergent specifically designed for use in an automatic dishwasher.

To open the dispenser for filling, push down and turn the blue cap counterclockwise until the cap is loose. Lift cap off.

Set the door at a comfortable angle to fill the dispenser.

Aim the detergent bottle at the opening in the door and begin to fill.

The dispenser will hold 45 oz of liquid dishwasher detergent (standard size bottle).

When full, replace the cap and turn clockwise until tight to ensure no water enters the SmartDispense™ dispenser. If residue is left on the door, it will be washed off in the next cycle.

An indicator light will turn on to notify you when the dispenser needs to be filled again. After filling, the light will not turn off until the door is closed. A full dispenser will last approximately 1 month for the average user.

NOTE: If you are not using SmartDispense™ and you want to turn the LOW DETERGENT LED light off, press the ADDED HEAT pad 5 times within 3 seconds. You will hear 3 beeps; then the light will go off. You can turn the light back on by pressing the ADDED HEAT pad 5 times within 3 seconds.

SmartDispense™ Detergent Dispenser Water Hardness Calibration

Prior to the first use, the dishwasher needs to be calibrated for water hardness. Please follow directions below to calibrate the dishwasher to the hardness of your tap water.

Determine the Hardness of Your Tap Water

In the bag that contained these instructions, you should find a water hardness test strip package. Read the instructions on the package, remove the test strip and follow the instructions to determine the hardness level of your tap water. You will use this information to calibrate your dishwasher to dispense the optimal amount of detergent.

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

Although the upper rack is primarily 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 plastics.

The utility shelf (some models) may be placed in the up or down position to add flexibility. A wine glass holder (some models) secures wine glasses for best washability.

Some models have contoured metal cup shelves that can secure up to 12 wine glasses (as shown).

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.

Some models have an Angled Rack System, which allows you to angle your dishes, such as coffee mugs, for better cleaning and quicker drying. To position the tines, pull the lever forward then drop the tines into position, then release the lever.

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 arm.

NOTE: The Single Rack Wash selection, on models with this feature, washes the upper rack only. If you use this feature, do not load items in the lower rack.

Adjustable Upper Rack

The standard position of your adjustable rack is "up" which allows for maximum clearance for your taller items in the lower rack. If you have taller wine glasses, tumblers or other items to place in the upper rack, you may want to adjust the rack to the lower position.

To lower the rack, support the weight of the rack with your hands as shown and press both finger pads about 1/4 toward the inside of the rack as indicated and guide the rack down to its lower position.

To raise the rack to the "up" position, pull up on the center of the rack side frame until the rack locks into place.

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.

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.

Shower Nozzle Service Part Number WD12X10134

Removing the Upper Rack

Your new dishwasher has the capability to wash extra large items in the lower rack. This is accomplished by removing the upper rack and installing a nozzle over the port that normally supplies water to the upper rack. The nozzle is not included with your dishwasher, but is available for purchase from GE. Call GE at 1.800.626.2002 or go to the GE website ge.com and request Nozzle Spray Asm, part number WD12X10134.

Customers in Canada can order on-line at geappliances.ca 24 hours every day, or by phone at 1.800.661.1616 during normal business hours.

NOTE: Do not use the SINGLE RACK WASH cycle (some models) with this feature. Single Rack Wash cycle is for upper rack wash only. The recommended cycle for lower rack only use is the COOKWARE cycle.

NOTE: Nozzle must be in place with upper rack removed. If not installed properly, poor wash performance and noise will result.

To remove the upper rack:

Press thumb tab out and remove the front end caps on each side of the rail.
Pull the rack straight out and off the rails.
Replace the end caps.
Push the rails all the way back into the dishwasher.
Slide the shower nozzle attachment over the spout.

Then fill the lower rack and begin your cycle.

NOTE: Don't forget to remove the shower nozzle attachment before you replace the upper rack.

One-piece basket (on some models)

Three-piece basket (on some models)

Don't let any item extend through bottom.

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

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.

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.

Loading the dishwasher racks.

Extra Rack Features (on some models)

Cutlery Tray

The cutlery tray holds up to 4 large knives such as a carver, chef's knives, bread knife, etc., that are too tall to fit in the silverware basket.

Hook the tray onto the rear of the upper rack. Lay the knives between the guides (as shown).

These tines fold down
Large-bowl tines

Bowl Tines

The special large-bowl tines in the lower rack add flexibility to your loading pattern. They are useful for serving bowls or other large bowls.

To use the bowl tines, fold down the 2 rows of flex tines in front of the bowl tines and load bowls just as you would in the upper rack.

Loading place settings...

Follow these guidelines for loading 10 place settings. Features and appearance of racks and silverware baskets may vary from your model. NOTE: Silverware should be individually loaded into the slots on the silverware basket lid.

Upper Rack-10 place settings Lower Rack-10 place settings

Follow these guidelines for loading 12 place settings. Features and appearance of racks and silverware baskets may vary from your model. NOTE: Silverware should be individually loaded into the slots on the silverware basket lid.

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, CC, WW, SA or BG, 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 panel.

Follow the instructions below for cleaning the door panel for your specific model.

Painted Door Panel (model numbers ending in BB-black, CC-bisque, WW-White, SA-silver metallic or BG-graphite black)

Use a clean, soft, lightly dampened cloth, then dry thoroughly. You may also use a good appliance wax or polish.

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)

Use a clean, soft, lightly dampened cloth, then dry thoroughly. Do not use appliance wax, polish or any chemical agent on CleanSteel doors.

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.

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.

Cleaning the Control Panel

To clean the control panel, use a lightly dampened cloth. Then dry thoroughly.

Protect Against Freezing

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

Cut off electrical power to the dishwasher. Remove fuses or trip circuit breaker.

Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet line from the water valve.

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.

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

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.

Turn off the dishwasher and lift off the cover.
2 Remove the plastic cap and clean with a toothpick.

Troubleshooting Tips

Save time and money! Review the charts on the following pages, or visit ge.com. You may not need to call for service

Error Messages	Possible Causes	What To Do
START/RESET status indicator light flashing	You have pressed the START/RESET pad while the dishwasher is running. This will cancel the cycle. The light will stop flashing after the dishwasher drains (about 90 seconds).	Press the START/RESET pad only one time to start the dishwasher. When the dishwasher is running, only press the START/RESET pad if you wish to cancel (reset) the cycle.
	Power to the dishwasher was turned off while a cycle was running and power has just been restored to the dishwasher. The blinking lights indicate that the dishwasher is draining water inside.	The light will stop flashing after the dishwasher drains out the water. A new cycle will start automatically when the drain ends.
Dishwasher BEEPS once every 30 seconds	This is a reminder that your dishwasher door has been left open during operation. It will continue beeping until you close the door.	Close and latch the door after opening it mid-cycle. Beeping will stop and dishwasher will complete cycle.
Beeping at the end of the cycle	This is normal. The dishwasher will beep twice at the end of the cycle.	To turn off the double beep indicator for re-activate it if it was previously turned off, press the HEATED DRY pad 5 times within 3 seconds. A triple beep will sound to indicate the end-of-cycle beep option has been turned on or off.
Low Detergent Light ON	SmartDispense™ has less than 10 cycles worth of detergent left in the dishwasher.	Fill the SmartDispense™ reservoir with liquid dishwasher detergent. After filling the reservoir, the LOW DETERGENT light will turn OFF once the door is closed.
Problem Possible Causes What To Do
Dishes and flatware not clean water faucet nearest the dishwasher; let run until the water temperature stops rising. Then start the dishwasher and turn off the faucet. This ensures the entering water is hot. Try not to use the dishwasher when hot water is being used elsewhere in the house; for example, when doing laundry or when a family member is using the shower.
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. Try not to use the dishwasher when hot water is being used elsewhere in the house; for example, when doing laundry or when a family member is using the shower.
Air gap or dispenser is clogged	Clean the air gap or flush the dispenser.
Improper rack loading	Make sure large dishwasher 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.
Problem Possible Causes What To Do
Spots and filming on glasses and prevent new film buildup	Extremely hard water	·Use Jet-Dry® or Cascade Crystal Clear® rinse agents to remove spots and
flatware	Low inlet water temperature	·Make sure water temperature is at least 120°F.
	Overloading the dishwasher	·Load dishwasher as shown in the Loading Place Settings section.
	Improper loading	·Make sure detergent is fresh.
	Old or damp powder detergent	·If water is extremely hard, a softener may be required.
	Rinse agent dispenser empty
	Too little detergent
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. Recalibrate the SmartDispense™ system if you are using it. See pages 9 and 11.
	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.
	Rinse agent was spilled	·To remove suds from the tub, open the dishwasher and let suds dissipate. Close and latch the dishwasher door. Pump out water by touching the START/RESET pad once; then 30 seconds later, touch the START/RESET pad again. Repeat if necessary.
Detergent left in dispenser cups or on door	Dishes are blocking the detergent cup or SmartDispense™ outlet See pages 13 and 14.	·Always wipe up rinse agent spills immediately.
Water in the SmartDispense™ dispenser	Cap not tightened after filling the dispenser	·Reposition the dishes, so the water from the lower spray arm can flush the detergent cup or outlet from the SmartDispense™ system.
Black or gray marks on dishes	Aluminum utensils have rubbed against dishes	·Use a turkey baster to remove as much water as possible from the SmartDispense™ dispenser and refill it as normal. Be sure to tighten the cap fully to prevent water from entering the dispenser.
Dishes don't dry	Low inlet water temperature	·Remove marks with a mild, abrasive cleaner.
	Low inlet water temperature	·Make sure inlet water temperature is at least 120°F.
	Water valve may be turned off	·Use PRE WASH or ADDED HEAT options.
	Tea or coffee stains	·Select a higher cycle, such as ANTI-BACTERIA or COOKWARE.
	Rinse agent dispenser is empty	·Check the rinse agent dispenser and fill as required.
Control panel responded to inputs but dishwasher never filled with water	Door latch may not be properly seated	·Make sure the door is firmly closed.
	Water valve may be turned off	·Make sure water valve (usually located under the sink) is turned on.
Stained tub interior	Some tomato-based foods can cause reddish stains	·Use of the RINSE ONLY cycle after adding the dish to the load can decrease the level of staining. GE recommends Cascade® Plastic Booster to help remove these types of stains.
	Tea or coffee stains	·Remove the stain by hand, using a solution of 1/2 cup bleach and 3 cups warm water.▲WARNING Before cleaning interior, wait at least 20 minutes after a cycle for the heating elements to cool down. Failure to do so can result in burns.
	An overall yellow or brown film can be caused by iron deposits in water	·A special filter in the water supply line is the only way to correct this problem. Contact a water softener company.
	White film on inside surface—hard water minerals	·GE recommends Jet-Dry® or Cascade Crystal Clear® to help prevent hard water mineral deposits from forming.
		·Run dishwasher with citric acid to remove mineral deposits. Citric acid (Part number: WD35X151) can be ordered through GE Parts. See back cover for ordering information.
