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.

Wash Temp/

Boost This 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.

Wash Temp/

Sani,

Steam/Sani

(on some

models)

This 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, of the NSF 184 Standard for soil

removal and sanitization efficacy.

NOTE: Certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments.

USING THE DISHWASHER

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

USING THE DISHWASHER

Dispensers

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.

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 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

WDEOHWVRUSDFNHWVIROORZWKHLQVWUXFWLRQVEHORZ

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.

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.

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.

USING THE DISHWASHER

Loading

For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and silverware

baskets may vary from your model.

Sports bottle held in place

over a Bottle Jets clip

Baby bottle held in place

under a Bottle Jets clip

Clip

Nozzle

Bottle Jets

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.

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.

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.

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.

For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and silverware baskets

may vary from your model.

3rd Rack (on some models)

The 3rd rack is the recommended location for silverware

and large utensils

IMPORTANT NOTES:

Ŷ Do not allow cutlery of different materials to touch each

other in the 3rd rack. Doing so may cause discoloration

of the cutlery.

Ŷ The tray is only meant to be used with a GE Appliances

3rd rack dishwasher to hold silverware, cooking

utensils, and other small items. Using the tray for any

other purpose could result in damage to the tray or

damage to anything interacting with the tray.

Ŷ Ensure that the 3rd rack is fully closed before shutting

the dishwasher door. Shutting the door with the

rack partially extended could cause damage to the

dishwasher.

Take care when loading, unloading,

or transporting the silverware or

utensil tray. The tray may contain sharp or heavy

items. If items are dropped from the tray or the tray

is dropped, injury could occur.

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.

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.

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 GE Appliances

kit # WD35X151 through GE Appliances Parts

by calling

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.

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, DS, D1, ES, FS, 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, DS-black slate, ES-slate, FS-fingerprint

resistant, 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

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.)

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.

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.

Check the air gap any

time your dishwasher

isn’t draining well.

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.
