Water Hardness Calibration

Prior to the first use, the dishwasher needs

to be calibrated for water hardness. Pleasefollow

the directions below to calibrate the dishwasher

to the hardness of gour tap water.

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.

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.
