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.

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
