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 middle rack, or while vertically adjusting the middle 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.

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

High quality rinse agents such as Cascade® Platinum™ Power Dry™ Rinse Aid or 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.

To adjust the setting

Open the Rinse Agent dispenser door; then turn the adjuster clockwise to increase the amount of rinse agent, counterclockwise to reduce the amount of rinse agent.

Clockwise to reduce water drops and hard water spots

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 block detergent dispenser with large or tall dishware.

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

Café recommends using high quality detergent in tablet or packet form. Independent testing has shown this form of detergent is very effective in the dishwasher.

Cascade® Platinum™ ActionPacs™ or Finish® Quantum®

Powerball ^® are examples of this type of detergent.

However, some single dose detergents are not designed for shorter cycles. If you experience wash-out issues with these tablets or packets, follow the instructions below:

Rinsing cycles - DO NOT use detergents. (These cycles are designed for rinsing dishes only, not soil removal.)

Washing cycles less than 60 minutes (not including additional dry or wash options) - Put a tablet or packet into the pre-wash compartment of the detergent cup, or in the bottom of the dishwasher. (These cycles are designed to be shorter which could result in bad detergent wash-out if the detergent is placed in the main wash compartment of the detergent cup. Wash performance will be diminished as a result.)

Washing cycles 60 minutes or longer (not including additional dry or wash options) - Put a tablet or packet into the main wash compartment of the detergent cup and close the detergent cup cover. (These cycles are designed for tougher soils and will likely have more fills/drains than the shorter cycles. If the tablet or packet is placed in the pre-wash 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 877-959-8688 and ask for part number WD01X10295. In Canada, call 800-661-1616.

Pre-Wash Main Wash DETERISENT 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 Fill	cup to 1/3 full
4 to 8 Fill cup	to 2/3 full
8 to 12 Fill cup	completely full
Greater than 12	Fill 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

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 CustomFit Baskets may vary from your model.

Middle Rack

The middle 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 middle rack. This is also a secure place for dishwasher-safe plastic items. The middle 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 middle rack do not interfere with the CustomFit Top Rack (on some models) when loading and unloading.

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

hance.

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.

Loading

CAUTION

A loaded middle rack may be heavier than anticipated. To prevent minor injury or damage to the contents, do not raise or lower the middle rack after the rack is loaded.

On some models, the middle rack allows 2" of adjustment up or down to accommodate larger items. The middle rack may be lowered by pushing the long flaps on each side of the rack. This will allow you to lower the rack. To raise the rack, lift up on the rack until the rack locks in place.

Middle Rack Push

On some models, the middle rack may be adjusted to accommodate larger items. To adjust the middle rack, fully extend the middle 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 middle 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.

1 With the rack fully extended, lift the front of the rack so that the rack roller wheels clear the retaining hook.
2 Continue to pull the rack until the remaining rack roller wheels clear the retaining hook.
③ Replace the rack by aligning the rack roller wheels on the retaining hook and rack rails – Ensure all roller wheels are located on top of the rack rails.

Loading

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

CustomFit Basket

Place flatware in the CustomFit 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 CustomFit Baskets may also be used for small items, such as measuring spoons, baby bottle nipples, plastic lids, or corn cob holders.

The CustomFit 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.

Ultra Wash

(on some models)

Ultra Wash targets stubborn, stuck-on food and helps separate nested spoons and forks to keep your silverware spotless no matter how you load the silverware. For optimal silverware cleaning, the use of CustomFit Basket lids is always recommended. For models with the CurtomFit Top Rack, Ultra Wash can also be used to clean mixing bowls and other cookware.

Do not remove the Ultra Wash system from the dishwasher rack.

CustomFit Basket lids Ensure tabs on back of CustomFit Basket are hooked on top wire of lower rack Ultra Wash spray system

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 D1 or W2 then you have a painted door panel. If your model number ends with S1 or SS, then you have a stainless steel door panel.

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

Painted Door Panel (model numbers ending in D1–Matte Black or W2–Matte White)

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

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

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.

Glass Door Panel - Use window cleaner for cleaning, then let dry thoroughly.

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 Café by visiting cafeappliances.com/parts. In Canada, visit cafeappliances.ca.

Dishwasher Interior

To clean and de-odorize your dishwasher, use citric acid, or Cascade® Platinum™ Dishwasher Cleaner or Finish® Dishwasher Cleaner, a detergent additive. They will break up mineral deposits, and remove hard water film and stains. You can order citric acid Café kit WD35X151 through Café Parts by visiting cafeappliances.com/parts. In Canada, visit cafeappliances.ca. You can purchase dishwasher cleaners 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 Café 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.

Care and Cleaning

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 Assembly

To clean the Ultra-Fine Filter assembly, remove the bottom rack. Twist the Ultra-Fine Filter assembly counterclockwise and lift to remove for cleaning. Rinse filter with warm soapy water and use a sponge to carefully remove any stubborn particles.

For models with a 2-piece Ultra-Fine Filter assembly with an additional Filter Basket for food particles, twist the Filter Basket in the counterclockwise direction to unlock it from the Ultra-Fine Filter assembly. See directional arrows on the bottom of the Filter Basket. Pull the Filter Basket to remove from the assembly, throw away any food particles, rinse with warm soapy water, and use a sponge to remove any stubborn particles.

Once cleaned, replace Filter Basket back into the Ultra-Fine Filter assembly and twist it clockwise to lock into 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.

Spray Arm Fine Filter 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

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

The air gap is easy to clean.

1 Turn off the dishwasher and lift off the air gap cover.

2 Remove the plastic cap under the cover and clean with a toothpick.

3 Replace the cap and cover when the air gap is clean.

Smart Assist light is red	A potential problem has been detected with your machine.	Use the SmartHQ App to identify and troubleshoot the potential problem. If you are not connected to WiFi, check your display for any codes and call for service.
Smart Assist light is yellow	There is a notification available in the SmartHQ App.	Use the SmartHQ App to follow recommended steps.
Start status indicator light flashing	The door was opened or the cycle was interrupted.	Press the Start pad once and close the door within 4 seconds to start the dishwasher. Press the Start pad a second time when the dishwasher is running only if you wish to cancel the cycle.
Dishwasher BEEPS once every minute	This is a reminder that your dishwasher door has been left open during operation. It will continue beeping until you press Start and close the door.	Press Start and close the door.
Display shows “LEAK DETECTED”	Possible leak is detected Some models are equipped with leak detection and the cycle will be cancelled if a leak is detected. The display will show “LEAK DETECTED”. Contact Café for service.
Beeping at the end of the cycle (on some models)	This is normal. Dishwasher will beep twice at the end of the cycle.	To turn off the double beep indicator (or re-activate it if it was previously turned off), press the 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.
Dishes and flatware not clean	Ultra-Fine Filter or Fine Filter is clogged	See the Care and Cleaning section.
	Low inlet water temperature	Make sure inlet water temperature is correct (see the USING THE DISHWASHER section). Turn on the hot 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. Select Hi-Temp Wash if available.
	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. Normal water pressure to the dishwasher should be 20-120 psi.
	Air gap or disposer clogged Clean the air gap or flush the disposer.
	High drain loop or air gap not installed	Refer to the Installation Instructions for proper drain line installation.
	Improper rack loading Make sure large dishware does not block the detergent dispenser or the wash arms. See the Loading section.
	Poor performing detergent	Use high quality detergents such as Cascade® PlatinumTM ActionPacsTM or Finish® Quantum® Automatic Dishwashing Detergent.
Spots and filming on glasses and flatware	Extremely hard water Use high quality rinse agents such as Cascade® PlatinumTM Power DryTM Rinse Aid or Finish® Jet-Dry® Rinse Aid to prevent spots and prevent new film build-up. If water is extremely hard, a softener may be required.
	Low inlet water temperature Make sure water temperature is at least 120°F (49°C).

	Too little or low performing detergent	Make sure you use the proper amount of highly rated detergent.

Troubleshooting Tips... Before you schedule service

Problem Possible Cause What To Do
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 it clean.
	Low performing phosphate-free detergent	See A white film on glassware, dishware and the interior in this TROUBLESHOOTING section.
	Water temperature entering the dishwasher exceeds 150°F (66°C)	This could be etching. Lower the water heater temperature.
Suds in the tub	Wrong detergent	Use only high quality automatic dishwasher detergents to avoid sudsing. Cascade® PlatinumTM ActionPacsTM or Finish® Quantum® Automatic Dishwashing Detergent have been approved for use in all Café dishwashers. To remove suds from the tub, open the dishwasher and let suds dissipate. Open the door, press and hold Start for 3 seconds, and close the door.
	Rinse agent was spilled Always wipe up rinse agent spills immediately.
Detergent left in dispenser cups	Dishes or utensils are blocking the detergent cup	Reposition the dishes, so the water from the lower spray arm can flush the detergent cup. See the Loading section. Reposition the tall utensils or heavy silverware that may be keeping the dispenser cup door from opening. See the Loading section. Don't place large bowls or pots directly under the detergent dispenser.
Black or gray marks on dishes	Aluminum utensils have rubbed against dishes	Remove marks with a mild, abrasive cleaner.
Dishes don't dry Additional drying time is needed		Leave door closed after the Clean light appears to allow the fan to run an additional 90 minutes. Select Dry - Ultra option to add additional drying time. Note: If you open the door, this fan extension will be cancelled.
		Make sure inlet water temperature is at least 120°F. Select Dry. Use Hi-Temp Wash option. Select a higher cycle, such as Presoak+Sanitize/Sani or Cookware.
		Check the rinse agent dispenser and fill as required.
Control panel responded to inputs but dishwasher never filled with water	Door may not be completely closed	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.
	Flood float may be stuck Remove Ultra-Fine filter and lightly tap the piece under the ultra fine filter that looks like a salt shaker. Replace the filter.
Stained tub interior White film on inside surface—hard water minerals		Café recommends high quality rinse agents such as Cascade® PlatinumTM Power DryTM Rinse Aid or Finish® Jet-Dry® Rinse Aid 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 Appliances Parts. See back cover for ordering information. Alternatively, purchase Cascade® PlatinumTM Dishwasher Cleaner or Finish® Dishwasher Cleaner and follow the directions on the label.

No action is required.

Troubleshooting Tips... Before you schedule service

Problem Possible Cause What To Do
A white film on glassware, dishware and the interior	This problem is likely caused by a low quality phosphate-free dishwasher detergent
	To remove the white film, run your dishes through a dishwasher cycle with citric acid. Use a WD35X151 citric acid kit found online. Otherwise, use high quality rinse agents such as Cascade® PlatinumTM Dishwasher Cleaner or Finish® Dishwasher Cleaner found at your local grocery store.Pour the citric acid in the detergent cup and close the cover. Place the filmed but otherwise clean glassware and dishware in the dishwasher. Leave silverware and other metal items out of the dishwasher. Turn the dishwasher on and let it run through a complete cycle without detergent. The glassware, dishware, and dishwasher should come out film free. Alternatively, a vinegar rinse may be used. Pour 1 cup of vinegar into dishwasher just after the detergent cup opens and let the dishwasher complete its cycle.This may be repeated several times a year as needed.The use of high quality rinse agents such as Cascade® PlatinumTM Power DryTM Rinse Aid or Finish® Jet-Dry® Rinse Aid may help minimize a repeat build up of film. Also, the use of high quality detergents such as Cascade® PlatinumTM ActionPacsTM or Finish® Quantum® Automatic Dishwashing Detergent will help prevent film build-up.
Feel air on your legs when standing in front of the dishwasher in cycle	This is normal Do not interrupt the cycle. No action is required.
Fan keeps running after cycle is complete	The fan may run for an additional 90 minutes after the cycle is complete to maximize drying performance

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.
