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 initialize. ■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. ■Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is used by or near children. ■Load light, 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. ■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. ■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. WARNING! CAUTION: To prevent minor injury and property damage 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.■Los elementos lavados en el modo anti-bacterial, si se encuentra disponible, pueden quedar calientes al tacto. Tenga cuidado antes de tocarlos. ■Utilizar un detergente no diseñado específicamente para lavaplatos provocará que el aparato se llene de espuma. ■Si su lavaplatos se encuentra conectado a un interruptor de pared, verifique que el interruptor se encuentre encendido antes del uso. ■En lavaplatos con controles electrónicos, si usted elije apagar el interruptor de pared entre ciclos de lavado, deje pasar 5-10 segundos después de encender el interruptor antes de presionar START/RESET para permitir que el control se inicie. ■Elementos no aptos para lavaplatos: No lave elementos como filtros de limpiadores de aire electrónicos, filtros de hornos y pinceles de pintura en su lavaplatos.

Connecting and disconnecting your dishwasher

CONNECT THE UNICOUPLE TO THE FAUCET

• Run garbage disposer, if you have one, to clean out the disposer and thus allow water to drain from the sink through the disposer and down the drain.

• Run 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.

• Roll the dishwasher to a position just in front of the sink.

• Pull the unicouple and its hoses completely out from storage compartment at rear of the dishwasher.

• Attach the unicouple to the faucet adapter following the three steps below: - Depress the locking collar at the top of the unicouple. - Place the unicouple completely over the faucet adapter. - Release the locking collar. The unicouple should now be locked onto the faucet adapter.

• Turn on the hot water faucet and check for leaks. If a unicouple leak was observed, take whatever actions are necessary to repair the leak. This may be as simple as tightening the faucet adapter. Or, it may require the services of a plumber if water is leaking from the interface between the moveable faucet arm and the fixed part of the faucet fastened to the sink. Note: The unicouple’s small hose carries water from the faucet to the dishwasher. The large hose carries water from the dishwasher to the sink. Orient the faucet with the unicouple attached so water from the unicouple will run into the sink drain.

• Plug the dishwasher power cord into the electrical outlet. Unicouple Depress collar torelease unicouple from faucet Unicouple collar Depress red button torelease water pressure

• Unplug the dishwasher.

• Feed power cord back into its storage location. Remove Unicouple from Faucet

• Relieve water pressure from the unicouple assembly before disconnecting it from the faucet by depressing the red pressure relief button on the unicouple.

• Depress the locking collar and remove the unicouple from the faucet.

• Drain excess water from the unicouple. If the sink is 34” or higher from the oor, 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.

• Feed the unicouple and hoses back into their storage pocket. Store the Dishwasher

• Latch the dishwasher door closed.

• Roll the dishwasher into its storage location.Consumer SupportTroubleshooting TipsOperating InstructionsSafety Instructions

Using the dishwasher 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. 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 Cascade Crystal Clear

rinse agents remove spots and prevent new film buildup on dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware and plastic. 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. 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. Open cupMain cup Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Cascade

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. 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.

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