Youmay usetablet,packet,powder,liquid orgelautomatic

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 inthe cupjust prior to starting the dishwasher

and then close the cover.The cover will open during the

wash cycle.

Filling the Detergent Dispenser

GErecommends using detergent intablet or packet form.

Independent testing has shown this form of detergent is

very effective in the dishwasher. Cascade ® Platinum

Pacs are an example of this type ofdetergent. Simply put

a tablet or packet into the main wash compartment and

slide to close the detergent cup cover. Please notice that

the tablet or packet must be placed in the main wash

compartment of the detergent cup. Ifthe tablet or packet

is 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 usewill 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 ofthe water inyour area.Water hardness is

measured in grains per gallon. Usethis information and

the table above to determine the amount of detergent

to use. You may purchase a hard water test strip

from GE.Call 1-877-959-8688 and ask for part number

The reversible tine blocks (on some models) are

designed to allow greater flexibility in loading dishes.

The direction of the tine blocks con be changed to

match your preferred loading direction us shown in

Figure A or Figure B:

Figure A Figure B

Toadjust the tine block direction, remove the clips

securing the tine blocks to the racks by pulling up

on the tub, then gently flex the retaining wire from

the center to unseat the tine block from the lower

rock. The tine block may be turned in the opposite

direction to reverse loading direction. Secure the tine

block to the rack using the same process and be

sure to snap the clips buck in place.

A.,,WARNING! The clips con be o choke

hozerd for smoll children. Keep out of reoch of

children.

To change the direction of the fold down tines, lower

the tines, then pull away from the bur clips that

secure the tines to the rock and remove. Reverse

the direction of the tines, orienting the handle on the

opposite side of the rack. Reattach the tines to the

bur clips by pushing the tines buck 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 rock on the

other side and slide in the direction that says "lock"

in order to reattach the indexer to the rock.

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.

The silverware tray holds silverware

individually in slots and is positioned by

alternating the heads of the silverware.

These trays may be removed to allow for

easier loading and unloading, changing the

side that the trays are on, or to create extra

space for the upper rack.

To remove a tray, fully extended the 3rd rack,

grasp both the front and back handles on one

tray and gently lift the tray out of the rack.

To replace the tray, grasp both handles and

gently place it on the rack so that the deepest

part is towards the center of the rack.

A CAUTION! Take care when

loading, unloading, or transporting the

silverware or utensil trays. The trays may

contain sharp or heavy items. If items are

dropped from the trays or the trays are

dropped, injury could occur.

Do not place cutlery of different materials

next to each other in the 3rd rack. Doing

show may cause discoloration of the

GE3rd rack dishwasher to hold silverware,

cooking utensils, and other small items.

Using the trays for any other purpose could

result in damage to the trays or damage to

anything interacting with the trays.

Ensure that the 3rd rack isfully closed

before shutting the dishwasher door.
