    ■ 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

WHEN USING YOUR DISHWASHER, FOLLOW BASIC PRECAUTIONS, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:

  • Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner's Manual.
    ■ Use only detergents or wetting agents recommended for use in a dishwasher and keep them out of reach of children. Using a detergent that is not specifically designed for dishwashers will cause the dishwasher to fill with suds.
  • 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.
    ■ Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

⚠ 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 allowing 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.

⚠ 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 dishwasher, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.

■ Do not allow children to play with, on, or inside this or any discarded appliance.
■ Take off the door of the washing compartment.

▲CAUTION TO PREVENT MINOR INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE

■ During or after wash cycle, contents may be hot to the touch. Use care before handling.
■ Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is used by or near children. Do not allow children to play around the dishwasher when closing the door, closing the upper rack, or while vertically adjusting the upper rack due to the possibility of small fingers being pinched.

■ Non-Dishware Items: Do not wash items such as electronic air cleaner filters, furnace filters and paint brushes in your dishwasher. Damage to the dishwasher and discoloration or staining of the dishwasher may result.
- Load light-weight, plastic items so they do not become dislodged and drop to the bottom of the dishwasher—they might come into contact with the heating element and be damaged.

▲CAUTION ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Be sure that the electrical connection and wire size are adequate and in conformance with the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 – latest edition, and all local codes and ordinances.

This appliance must have:

■ 120V, 60Hz, AC-only, 15-ampere or 20-ampere, fused electrical supply.
■ Wiring must be 2 wire with ground and rated for 75°C (167°F).

■ If the electrical supply does not meet the above requirements, call a licensed electrician before proceeding.

■ A circuit breaker or time-delay fuse.
■ A properly grounded individual branch circuit.

▲NOTICE

■ If your dishwasher is connected to a wall switch, ensure that the switch is on prior to use.
If you choose to turn the wall switch off between wash cycles, allow 5-10 seconds after turning the switch on before touching Start to allow the control to initialize.

■ Use only powder, Finish® Quantum® Automatic Dishwashing Detergent, liquid detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher and keep them out of the reach of children. Finish® Quantum® Automatic Dishwashing Detergent, and Finish® Jet-Dry® Rinse Aid rinse agents have been approved for use in all GE Appliances dishwashers.

1 Load Dishwasher

For best dishwashing results, follow the loading guidelines found in the Loading section. No pre-rinsing of normal food soil is required. Scrape off hard soils, including bones, toothpicks, skins, and seeds. Remove leafy vegetables, meat trimmings, and excessive amounts of grease or oil.

2 Add Detergent

Add needed amount of detergent to the detergent dispenser. Use detergent such as Finish® Quantum® Automatic Dishwashing Detergent. See Dispensers section.

3 Add Rinse Agent

Add rinse agent such as Finish® Jet-Dry® Rinse Aid to the rinse agent dispenser. See Dispensers section.

4 Select Cycle

Press the furthest pad on the left for the desired wash cycle. On some models, the light next to the furthest pad on the left will be lit to indicate which wash cycle has been selected. On other models, pressing the furthest pad on the left will show various cycles in the display window. Press the pad until the desired cycle is shown.

NOTE: Actual cycle times vary based on soil level, water temperature, and options selected.

The cycle may be selected with the door in the open position. The cycle will not start until the Start pad is pushed and the door is closed within 4 seconds.

AutoSense/Auto(on some models)This cycle automatically senses the soil level and adjusts the wash cycle accordingly. *Time range: 1 hour 50 minutes - 2 hours 10 minutes.
Heavy/PotsThis cycle is meant for heavily soiled dishes, cookware, pots, or pans with dried-on or baked-on soils. Everyday dishes are safe to be used in this cycle. *Time: 2 hours 31 minutes.
NormalThis cycle is meant for daily, regular, or typical use to completely wash a full load of normally soiled dishes and is designed to conserve both water and energy. *Time range: 1 hour 15 minutes - 1 hour 50 minutes. NOTE: Normal was used to rate the energy efficiency of this dishwasher.
Light/ChinaThis cycle is for light to medium soiled dishes. It is safe for china and crystal with no options selected. *Time: 55 minutes.
Rinse(on some models)For rinsing partial loads that will be washed later. Do not use detergent. Detergent is not dispensed during the rinse cycle. *Time: 16 minutes.
1-Hour WashThis cycle will quickly wash lightly soiled dishes. *Time: 60 minutes. For better drying, select Dry Boost. This will raise the final rinse temperature and extend the dry time. Dry Boost will add 49 to 90 minutes to the cycle time. When the Clean light comes on, open the door, pull the racks out, and the dishes will “flash” dry in approximately five minutes.

*Washing time only. Does not include drying time, Auto Hot Start, or options. NOTE: If the incoming water temperature is too low, the Auto Hot Start feature may add up to 25 minutes of additional time.

Getting started

5 Select Options
The light by the selected button will be lit to indicate which Option has been selected.

Normal TempThis option is for normally soiled dishes, optimizes wash performance while conserving energy.
BoostThis option increases the temperature to help clean heavily soiled dishes and will increase the cycle time by 20 to 50 minutes. Option may be turned On or Off during the wash cycle. This option will also improve dry performance on the Normal cycle.
Steam-Sani, Presoak-Sani, or SanitizeThis option raises the water temperature in the final rinse to sanitize your dishware but may increase cycle time by 60 minutes. The cycle length will vary depending on the temperature of your inlet water.NOTE: This option is monitored for sanitization requirements. If the cycle is interrupted during or after the main wash portion or if the incoming water temperature is so low that adequate water heating cannot be achieved, the sanitizing conditions may not be met. In these cases, the Sanitized or Cycle Sanitized light will not illuminate at the end of the cycle. Utilizing this option will modify the cycle to meet the requirements of Section 6, NSF 184 for soil removal and sanitization efficacy.NOTE: NSF certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments.
Dry Boost OffShuts off the drying option. Dishes air dry naturally and energy is saved. Open the dishwasher door to speed drying.
Dry Boost NormalTurns on the option for faster drying. This option may add up to 64 minutes to the cycle time. On models with the hidden heater feature, this option boosts the temperature of the dishwasher during the final rinse portion of the cycle then utilizes a fan to circulate air to dry the dishes. This very efficient fan may run for an additional 90 minutes after the cycle is complete to maximize drying performance. Fan operation will end if the door is opened during this 90 minute period. This option is not available with the Rinse cycle.
Dry Boost High (on some models)This option can be selected by pressing the Dry Boost pad twice to illuminate the High light. It will add additional time to your drying option, further enhancing the dishwasher's performance for difficult to dry items.
Wash Zones (on some models)Selecting either the Upper or Lower Wash Zones will target dishwashing of just one rack. This will shorten the cycle time and conserve energy. This option should be used when dishes are placed in only one rack.
Bottle Jets (on some models)This option increases the time that the bottle jets are on and may add up to 23 minutes to the cycle time. Use this to wash difficult to clean, dishwasher safe baby bottles, sport bottles, tall coffee cups, etc. See use recommendations in the Loading section.
Delay HoursDelays the start of a wash cycle up to 8 to 12 hours depending on model. Press Delay Hours, to select the number of hours, then press Start one time and close door to begin countdown. The cycle will start once allotted time has expired.
Lock ControlsYou can lock the controls to prevent selections from being made. You can also lock the controls after you have started a cycle to prevent cycle changes. For example, children cannot accidentally start the dishwasher by pressing buttons with this option selected.To LOCK/UNLOCK the dishwasher control, depending on the model, press and hold the Dry Boost pad, or the Steam-Sani/Presoak-Sani/Sanitize pads at the same time, for 3 seconds. The Lock Controls light will turn on to indicate the control is locked and will turn off to indicate the control is unlocked.

Dispensers

Check the Water Temperature

The entering water should 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 dishwasher, place the thermometer in a glass and let the water run continuously into the glass until the temperature stops rising.

Use a Rinse Agent

Rinse agents, such as Finish® Jet-Dry® Rinse Aid are designed for great drying action and to protect against spots and film build-up on your dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware, and plastic.

Filling the Rinse Agent Dispenser

The rinse agent dispenser holds 3.5 oz. (104 ml) of rinse agent. Under normal conditions, this will last approximately one month.

1 Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.
2 Open the rinse agent dispenser door.
③ Slowly add rinse agent until the cup is full. You may need to pause several times to allow rinse aid to settle. NOTE: Indicator window does not light up.
4 Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a damp cloth to prevent foam from forming inside the dishwasher.
5 Close the rinse agent dispenser door.

Rinse Aid Setting

The amount of rinse agent released into the final wash can be adjusted. If water drops or hard water spots remain on dishes after the dry cycle, increase the setting.

Detergent Dispenser

The detergent dispenser is located in the center of the dishwasher door. It has two compartments. The main wash compartment is found inside the detergent dispenser. To open, press the button on the side of the dispenser. The pre-wash compartment is on the lid of the detergent dispenser. Use the pre-wash compartment only when your water is extremely hard or when you have a heavy soiled load. The pre-wash compartment is not used when tablet or packet detergents are used.

NOTE: Do not load large items in the lower rack where they may block the wash jets from rinsing out the detergent dispenser.

GE Profile PDT715SMNES - Detergent Dispenser - 1

text_image Detergent Dispenser

You may use tablet, packet, powder, liquid or gel automatic dishwasher detergent. Make sure you use only detergents specifically labeled for use in automatic dishwashers. Never use liquid hand dish detergent in an automatic dishwasher. Sudsing and poor wash performance will result with the use of improper detergents.

Detergents should be stored in a dry location and in their original container to prevent loss of effectiveness. Place detergent in the cup just prior to starting the dishwasher and then close the cover. The cover will open during the wash cycle.

Filling the Detergent Dispenser

GE Appliances recommends using detergent in tablet or packet form. Independent testing has shown this form of detergent is very effective in the dishwasher. Finish®

Quantum® Powerball® is an example of this type of detergent. Simply put a tablet or packet into the main wash compartment and close the detergent cup cover. Please notice that the tablet or packet must be placed in the main wash compartment of the detergent cup. If the tablet or packet is placed in the prewash compartment or tossed in the bottom of the dishwasher, the detergent will be flushed down the drain in a very short period of time and will thus be wasted. Wash performance will be very poor as a result.

If you choose to use detergent in powder, liquid or gel form, the amount of detergent you use will be determined by the hardness of your water, the temperature of your water, and the food soil load inside the dishwasher. Contact your water company to get information about the hardness of the water in your area. Water hardness is measured in grains per gallon. Use this information and the table above to determine the amount of detergent to use. You may purchase a hard water test strip from GE Appliances. Call 1-877-959-8688 and ask for part number WD01X10295. In Canada, call 1-800-661-1616.

GE Profile PDT715SMNES - Filling the Detergent Dispenser - 1

text_image Main Wash Pre-Wash Push/Slide to Close Rinse Agent

Use the table as a starting point and then adjust the amount of detergent you use. Use just enough to get good wash performance. Using just the right amount of detergent will provide great wash performance without wasting detergent or etching glassware.

Number of Grains/Gal.Detergent Cup(s) to Fill
Less than 4 Fillcup to 1/3 full
4 to 8 Fill cupto 2/3 full
8 to 12 Fill cupcompletely full
Greater than 12Fill both main wash cup and pre wash cup

Using too much detergent with very soft and/or very hot water may cause a condition called etching on your glassware. Etching is a permanent cloudiness in your glassware. This condition is irreversible. However, using too little detergent will cause poor wash performance.

DO NOT USE HAND DISH DETERGENT
GE Profile PDT715SMNES - Filling the Detergent Dispenser - 2

text_image Diagram showing a bottle and a washing machine with equals sign, illustrating the equivalence between cleaning and laundry.

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 for automatic dishwashers.

Loading

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

Upper Rack

The upper rack is primarily for glasses, cups, and saucers. For best wash performance, tilt cup and glass openings toward the center of the rack. Other items such as pots, pans, and plates may be placed in the upper rack. This is also a secure place for dishwasher-safe plastic items. The upper rack can be used for odd sized utensils. Sauce pans, mixing bowls, and other similarly shaped items should be placed face down for best wash performance. Ensure small plastic items are secure so that they cannot fall on the heater at the bottom of the dishwasher, potentially damaging the item. Some models are equipped with a hidden heater, so dishwasher safe plastic items can be placed in the lower rack.

IMPORTANT: Ensure items in the upper rack do not interfere with the 3rd Rack (on some models) when loading and unloading.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that items do not protrude through the bottom of the rack or silverware basket where they will block the rotation of the middle spray arm. This could result in noise during operation and/or poor wash performance.

The Bottle Jets system (on some models) is the ideal location to position baby bottles, tall sports bottles, or other tall items with narrow openings. The Bottle Jets clips hold bottles with small openings in place so water jets are directed inside the bottles to clean hard to reach areas. Clips can be installed or removed by simply slipping the clip opening over the top of the nozzle.

CAUTION

A loaded upper rack may be heavier than anticipated. To prevent

minor injury or damage to the contents, do not raise or lower the upper rack after the rack is loaded.

The upper rack allows 2" of adjustment up or down to accommodate large items. The upper rack may be lowered by pushing the long flaps on each side of the rack. This will allow you to lower the rack (see fig. Upper Rack). To raise the rack, lift up on the rack until the rack locks in place.

Loading

On some models, the upper rack may be adjusted to accommodate larger items. To adjust the upper rack, fully extend the upper rack and lift the front of the rack so that the rack roller wheels clear the end hooks on the front of the rails. Continue to pull the rack until the remaining rack roller wheels clear the end hook. Select the set of rollers on the side of the rack that provides the desired height, and reinstall the upper rack by aligning the rack roller wheels on the end hook and rack rails – Ensure that there are roller wheels above and below the rack rails. Failure to properly align the wheels onto the end hook and rails may result in the rack falling from the dishwasher.

Loading

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

Lower Rack

The lower rack is best used for plates, saucers and cookware items. Large items, such as broiler pans and baking racks should be placed along the sides of the rack. If necessary, oversized glasses and mugs can be placed in the lower rack to maximize loading flexibility. Plates, saucers and similar items should be placed between the tines in the direction that allows the item to remain secure in the rack.

NOTE: Do not load large items in the lower rack where they may block the wash jets from rinsing out the detergent dispenser.

The lower rack fold down tines (on some models) can be adjusted to different upright angles or placed flat to provide flexibility for hard-to-fit or extra-large items.

GE Profile PDT715SMNES - Lower Rack - 1

text_image 3 Angled Positions Available or Folded Down

WARNING

The clips can be a choke hazard for small children if removed from Keep out of reach of children.

To change the direction of the fold down tines, lower the tines, then pull away from the bar clips that secure the tines to the rack and remove. Reverse the direction of the tines, orienting the handle on the opposite side of the rack. Reattach the tines to the bar clips by pushing the tines back until they click in place. The indexer will also need to be switched to the opposite side of the dishwasher. To remove the indexer, simply slide it the in the direction labeled "unlock." Then, align the indexer with the rack on the other side and slide in the direction that says "lock" in order to reattach the indexer to the rack.

IMPORTANT: It is important to ensure that items do not protrude through the bottom of the rack or the silverware basket where they will block the rotation of the lower spray arm. Also, ensure that large plates, pots, or tall items don't hit the mid spray arm. This could result in noise during operation and/or poor wash performance.

Loading

Silverware/flatware is loaded using the silverware basket lids. This ensures great wash performance of the silverware. Loading in this manner prevents nesting and makes sure all items are washed uniformly.

Silverware Basket

Place flatware in the removable silverware baskets.

Sharp objects, such as forks and knives, may be placed with the handles facing up, in order to protect your hands. For the best wash performance, place other items such as spoons with the handles facing down. Avoid allowing items to nest together, which may keep them from being properly washed. When loading, distribute items evenly in the basket.

The silverware baskets may also be used for small items, such as measuring spoons, baby bottle nipples, plastic lids, or corn cob holders. The silverware basket covers can be closed to contain small items.

IMPORTANT: Do not load large or tall utensils where they may block the detergent dispenser, mid spray arm, or become trapped between the door and the gasket when the door is closed.

Deep Clean Silverware Jets (on some models)

Deep Clean Silverware Jets target stubborn, stuck-on food and help separate nested spoons and forks to keep your silverware spotless no matter how you load the silverware. For optimal silverware cleaning, the use of silverware basket lids is always recommended. For models with the third rack, the Deep Clean Silverware Jets can also be used to clean mixing bowls and other cookware.

Do not remove Deep Clean Silverware Jet spray assembly from the dishwasher rack.

Care and cleaning

Control Panel

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

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, DS, D1, ES, FS, SA, TS, WW or W2 then you have a painted door panel. If your model number ends with SS or S1, then you have a Stainless Steel door panel. If your model number ends with II, then you have an Integrated door panel.

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

Painted/Coated Door Panel (model numbers ending in BB or D1-black, CC-bisque, DS-black slate, ES-slate, FS-fingerprint resistant, SA-silver, TS-black stainless steel, or WW or W2-white)

Use a clean, soft, lightly dampened cloth, then dry thoroughly.

Stainless Steel Door Panel (model numbers ending in SS or S1)

For cleaning rust and tarnish, cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser™ will remove rust, tarnish and small blemishes. Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit and rub in the direction of the brush lines with a damp soft sponge. Do not use appliance wax or polish on the stainless steel.

For other blemishes and marks, use 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. You can order Stainless Steel Magic #WX10X29 through GE Appliances Parts by calling 877.959.8688. In Canada, call 1-800-661-1616.

Integrated Door Panel (model numbers ending in II) This is a custom installed door panel, and you will need to refer to the cabinet manufacturers recommendations for proper cleaning.

Dishwasher Interior

To clean and de-odorize your dishwasher, use citric acid or Finish® Dishwasher Cleaner, a detergent additive. Finish® Dishwasher Cleaner will break up mineral deposits, and remove hard water film and stains. You can order citric acid GE Appliances kit #WD35X151 through GE Appliances Parts by calling 877-959-8688 or visiting GEApplianceparts.com. In Canada, call 1-800-661-1616. You can purchase Finish® Dishwasher Cleaner at your local grocery store.

Stainless Steel Inner Door and Tub

The stainless steel used to make the dishwasher tub and inner door provides the highest reliability available in a GE Appliances 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.

Filters

Inspect and clean the filters periodically. This should be done every other month or more depending on usage. If there is a decrease in wash performance or dishes feel gritty, this is also an indication the filters need to be cleaned.

Ultra-Fine Filter

To clean the Ultra-Fine Filter, remove the bottom rack. Twist the Ultra-Fine Filter counterclockwise and lift to remove. Rinse filter with warm soapy water and use a sponge to carefully remove any stubborn particles. Scrubbing with scouring pads or brushes can dama ge the filter. Once cleaned, replace the Ultra-Fine Filter, and twist it clockwise to lock in place.

Fine Filter

To clean the Fine Filter (mesh plate), remove the bottom rack. Remove the Ultra-Fine Filter.

Lift the Fine Filter up and out from under the two rear retaining tabs. Rinse filter with warm soapy water. Scouring pads or brushes can scratch the filter surface but a soft brush or sponge may be needed to remove stubborn soils or calcium deposits caused by hard water. Once cleaned, replace the Fine Filter making sure it goes under the two rear retaining tabs. Replace the Ultra-Fine Filter.

Protect Against Freezing

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

1 Turn 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.

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.

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.

Air gap

LAVAVAJILLAS

INSTRUCCIONES

DE SEGURIDAD......4

USO DEL LAVAVAJILLAS

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 allowing 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.
