Determine the Hardness of Your Tap Water
In the bag that contained these instructions, gou
should find a water hardness test strip package.
Readthe instructions on the package, remove the
test strip and follow the instructions to determine
the hardness level of gour tap water. You will use
this information to calibrate gour dishwasher to
dispense the optimal amount of detergent.

Loading the dishwasher racks.
For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and silverware
baskets may vary from your model.
Upper Rack
Although the upper rock isprimarily for
glosses,cups and saucers, pots and pans con
be placed in this rack for effective cleaning.
Cupsand glossesfit best along the sides.This
isalso a secure place for dishwasher plastics.
Theutility shelf (somemodels)may be placed
in the up or down position to add flexibility.A
wine glass holder (somemodels)secureswine
glassesfor best washability.
Somemodels hovecontoured metal cup
shelvesthat con secure up to 12wine glosses
(asshown).
Becausewine glossescome in various sizes,
offer loading,slowly push in the rock to make
surethey will clearthe top of the dishwasher.
Somemodels hoveon Angled RockSystem,
which allows you to angle your dishes,such
as coffee mugs,for better cleaning and
quicker drying. To position the tines,pull the
leverforward then drop the tines into
position,then releasethe lever.
The upper rock isgood for oil kinds of
odd-shaped utensils.Saucepans,mixing
bowls and other items should be placed face
down. Fold-down tines (onsome models)
provide flexibility for extra-large and hard-
to-fit items.
Securelarger dishwasher-safe plastics over
2 tines when possible.
Make suresmall plastic items ore secure so
they can't foil onto the heater.
Be surethat items do not protrude through
the bottom of the rack and block rotation of
the middle spray arm. This could result in
poor wash performance for items in the
upper rock.
Checkto make surethat no items will block
rotation of the wash arm.
NOTE:TheSingle RockWash selection,on
models with this feature,washes the upper
rock only. If you usethis feature, do not load
items in the lower rock.
Adjustable Upper Rack (onsomemodels)
Thestandard position of your adjustable rack
is"up" which allows for maximum clearance
for your taller items in the lower rack. If you
have taller wine glasses,tumblers or other
items to place inthe upper rack,you may
want to adjust the rack to the lower position.
Tolower the rack, support the weight of the
rock with your hands asshown and press
both finger pods about 1/4" toward the inside
of the rock as indicated and guide the rock
down to its lower position.
Toraise therack to the "up" position,pull up
on the center of the rock sideframe until the
rock locksinto place.
14
GEAppliances.com
Lower Rack
The lower rock isbest usedfor plates,saucers
and cookware. Large items such as broiler
pans and baking rocks shouldgo along the
left-hand side. Load plotters, pots and bowls
along the sides,in corners or in the back.The
soiledsideof itemsshould face the center of
the rock. If necessarg,oversizedglossesand
mugs con be placedin the lower rock to
maximize loading flexibilitg.
Also,be careful not to let a portion of on item
such as a pot or dish handle extend through
the bottom rock.Thiscould blockthe wash
arm and cause poor washing results.
Fold-down tines (onsome models)provide
flexibilitg for extra-large and hard-to-fit items.
Thetines mag be left in the up position or
folded down to customize the lower rock.Do
not load large bowls or pots facedown in the
front left-hand corner.Items loaded in this
manner could prevent proper operation of
the manual detergent cup.
