Using the dishwasher GEAppliances.com
Check the Water Temperature
Theentering water must be at least 120°Fand
not more than 150°F,for effectivecleaning and to
prevent dish damage. Checkthe water temperature
with a candy or meat thermometer. Turn on the
hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher,place
the thermometer in a glassand 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 deliverwater at the
proper temperature.
UseCascadeCrgstal Clear®RinseAgent
Cascade Crystal Cleare rinseagents remove spots and prevent newfilm buildup on dishes,glasses,flatware,
cookware and plastic.
Filling the Dispenser
Fillthe rinseagent dispenser until it reachesthe bottom of
lip insidethe opening. Replacecap.
Tocheck if rinseagent isneeded,remove the cap and look
into the dispenser.
A full dispensershould last about one month.
If the rinseagentspills,wipe up the excess.
Proper Use of Detergent
Useonly detergent specifically made for usein
dishwashers.Cascade®Automatic Dishwashing
Detergents havebeen 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.
Theamount of detergent to usedependson whether
your water ishard or soft. With hard water,you need
extra detergent. With soft water, you need less
detergent.
Protectyour dishesand dishwasher by contacting
your water department and asking how hard your
water is.Twelveor more grains isextremely hard
water.A water softener isrecommended. Without it,
lime can build up inthe water valve,which could
stick while open and causeflooding. Too much
detergent with soft water can cause a permanent
cloudinessof glassware, called etching.
Usethe information inthe table below as a guideline
to determine the amount of automatic dishwasher
detergent to place inthe dispenser.

NOTE:Toopen 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:Usinga detergentthat is not specificallbl
designedfor dishwasherswill causethe dishwasher
to fill with suds.During operation,thesesuds will spill
out of the dishwashervents,covering thekitchen floor
and making the floor wet.
Becauseso many detergent containers lookalike,
store the dishwasherdetergent in a separate space
from all other cleaners.Show anyone who may use
the dishwasher the correct detergent and where it
is stored.
Whilethere will be no lasting damage to the
dishwasher,your dishes will not get clean using
a dishwashingdetergent that isnot formulated
to work with dishwashers. 11
