SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING
WATER HEATER SAFETY
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two or more weeks.
HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.
If the hot water has not been used for two or more weeks, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning
on all hot water faucets and allowing them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical
appliance connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will allow any built-up hydrogen gas to
escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke, use an open flame, or use the appliance during this process.
TO PREVENT MINOR INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE
Ŷ
During or after wash cycle, contents may be hot to
the touch. Use care before handling.
Ŷ
Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is
used by or near children. Do not allow children to
play around the dishwasher when closing the door,
closing the upper rack, or while vertically adjusting
the upper rack due to the possibility of small fingers
being pinched.
Ŷ
Non-Dishware Items: Do not wash items such as
electronic air cleaner filters, furnace filters and
paint brushes in your dishwasher. Damage to the
dishwasher and discoloration or staining of the
dishwasher may result.

Check the Water Temperature
The entering water should be at least 120°F (49°C) and
not more than 150°F (66°C) for effective cleaning and to
prevent dish damage. Check the water temperature with a
candy or meat thermometer.
Turn on the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher,
place the thermometer in a glass and let the water run
continuously into the glass until the temperature stops
rising.
Use a Rinse Agent
Rinse agents, such as Finish
®
Jet-Dry
®
Rinse Aid are designed for great drying action and to protect against spots
and film build-up on your dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware, and plastic.
Filling the Rinse Agent Dispenser
The rinse agent dispenser holds 3.9 oz. (115 ml) of rinse agent. Under normal conditions, this will last approximately
one month.
1
Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.
2
Open the dispenser door. (Rinse agent compartment is on the right side of dispenser.)
3
Slowly add rinse agent until the cup is full. You may need to pause several times to
allow rinse aid to settle.
4
Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a damp cloth to prevent foam from forming inside
the dishwasher.
5
Close the dispenser door.
Dispensers

USING THE DISHWASHER
Dispensers
Detergent Dispenser
To open, press the button and the cover will flip back.
The detergent dispenser has two compartments. The
pre-wash compartment is the smaller compartment on
the left side. Use the pre-wash compartment only when
your water is extremely hard or when you have a heavy
soiled load. The pre-wash compartment is not used
when tablet or packet detergents are used.
NOTE: Do not block detergent dispenser with large or
tall utensils.
You may use tablet, packet, powder, liquid or gel automatic
dishwasher detergent. Make sure you use only detergents
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 in the cup just prior to starting the dishwasher
and then close the cover. The cover will open during the
wash cycle.
Filling the Detergent Dispenser
We recommend using detergent in tablet or packet
form. Independent testing has shown this form of
detergent is very effective in the dishwasher. Finish
®
Quantum
®
Powerball
®
is an example of this type of
detergent. Simply put a tablet or packet into the main
wash compartment and close the detergent cup cover.
Please notice that the tablet or packet must be placed in
the main wash compartment of the detergent cup. If the
tablet or packet is placed in the prewash compartment or
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 use will 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 of the water in your area. Water hardness is
measured in grains per gallon. Use this information and
the table above to determine the amount of detergent to
use. You may purchase a hard water test strip from
GE Appliances. Call 877-959-8688 and ask for part
number WD01X10295. In Canada, call 800-661-1616.
Use the table as a starting point and then adjust the
amount of detergent you use. Use just enough to get
good wash performance. Using just the right amount of
detergent will provide great wash performance without
wasting detergent or etching glassware.
Using too much detergent with very soft and/or very
hot water may cause a condition called etching on your
glassware. Etching is a permanent cloudiness in your
glassware. This condition is irreversible. However, using
too little detergent will cause poor wash performance.
DO NOT USE HAND DISH DETERGENT
NOTE: Using a detergent that is not specifically designed
for dishwashers will cause the dishwasher to fill with suds.
During operation, these suds will spill out of the dishwasher
vents, covering the kitchen floor and making the floor wet.
Because so many detergent containers look alike,
store the dishwasher detergent in a separate space
from all other cleaners. Show anyone who may use the
dishwasher the correct detergent and where it is stored.
While there will be no lasting damage to the dishwasher,
your dishes will not get clean using a dishwashing
detergent that is not formulated for automatic dishwashers.

provides the desired height, and reinstall the upper rack by
guiding the rack rails between the appropriate set of
rollers.
4
With the rack reinstalled, rotate closed the two plastic end
caps, ensuring
the snap is properly engaged. Failure to
properly engage the
end caps may result in the rack falling
from the dishwasher.
Loading
USING THE DISHWASHER
For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and silverware
baskets may vary from your model.
Upper Rack
The upper rack is for glasses, cups, and saucers. This
is also a secure place for dishwasher-safe plastic items.
The upper rack can be used for odd sized utensils.
Sauce pans, mixing bowls, and other similarly shaped
items should be placed face down for best wash
performance.
The cup shelf may be placed in the up or down position to
add flexibility.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that
items do not protrude through
the bottom of the rack where
they will block the rotation
of the upper spray arm. This
could result in noise during
operation and/or poor wash
performance.
A loaded upper rack may be heavier
than anticipated. To prevent minor
injury or damage to the contents, do not raise or lower
the upper rack after the rack is loaded.

USING THE DISHWASHER
Loading
For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and silverware
baskets may vary from your model.
Lower Rack
When loading the lower rack, do not load large platters
or trays in the front left. They may prevent detergent
from circulating during the wash cycle.
The lower rack is best used for plates, saucers and cookware.
Large items should go along the sides. Load platters, pots
and bowls along the sides, in corners or in the back. The
soiled side of items should face the center of the rack.
IMPORTANT: 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. This could
result in noise during operation and/
or poor wash performance.
Silverware Basket
The silverware basket may be used without the topper
for quick loading. With the topper, flatware is better
positioned for the dishwasher to thoroughly wash and dry
all pieces by preventing nesting.
Without the topper
Put the flatware in the removable basket with fork and
knife handles up to protect your hands. Place spoons
in the basket with handles down. Mix knives, forks and
spoons so they don’t nest together. Distribute evenly.
Small plastic items, such as measuring spoons and lids
from small containers, should go in the bottom of the
silverware basket with silverware on top.
With the topper
Place small plastic items, such as measuring spoons and
lids from small containers, in the bottom of the basket
and snap the topper in place. Insert spoons and forks,
handles first, through the holes in the topper. Place
knives, blades first, through the holes in the topper.
IMPORTANT: Do not load large or tall utensils where they
may block the detergent dispenser or upper spray arm. This
could result in noise during operation and/or poor wash
performance.
Two-piece basket
To separate, grasp the basket at
opposite corners and slide apart.

CARE AND CLEANING
Does Your Dishwasher Have an Air Gap? (Built-In Models Only)
An air gap protects your dishwasher
against water backing up into it if a drain
clogs. The air gap is not a part of the
dishwasher. It is not covered by your
warranty. Not all plumbing codes require
air gaps, so you may not have one.
The air gap is easy to clean.
1
Turn off the dishwasher and lift off the air gap cover.
2
Remove the plastic cap under the cover and clean with a
toothpick.
3
Replace the cap and cover when the air gap is clean.
Check the air gap any
time your dishwasher
isn’t draining well.

cycle was interrupted.
Press the Start pad once and close the door within 4
seconds to start the dishwasher. Press the Start pad a
second time when the dishwasher is running only if you
wish to cancel the cycle.
Dishwasher BEEPS
once every minute
This is a reminder that your
dishwasher door has been left
open during operation. It will
continue beeping until you
press Start and close the door.
Press Start and close the door.
Beeping at the end
of the cycle
This is normal. Dishwasher

The dishwasher will beep (unless interupted) and the
Clean light will display at the end of the wash cycle.
Dishes and flatware
not clean
Filter assembly is clogged See the CARE AND CLEANING section.
Low inlet water temperature Make sure inlet water temperature is correct (see the
USING THE DISHWASHER section). Turn on the hot
water faucet nearest the dishwasher, let run until the water
temperature stops rising. Then start the dishwasher and
turn off the faucet. This ensures the entering water is hot.
Select Wash Temp - Boost.
Water pressure is
temporarily low
Turn on a faucet. Is water coming out more slowly than usual?
If so, wait until pressure is normal before using your dishwasher.
Normal water pressure to the dishwasher should be 20-120 psi.
Air gap or disposer clogged
(Built-In Models Only)
Clean the air gap or flush the disposer.
High drain loop or air
gap not installed (Built-In
Models Only)
Refer to the Installation Instructions for proper drain line
installation.
Improper rack loading Make sure large dishware or utensils do not block detergent
dispenser or the wash arms. See the Loading section.
Poor performing detergent Use a highly rated detergent such as Finish

from happening, use less detergent if you have soft water.
Wash glassware in the shortest cycle that will get it clean.
Low performing phosphate-
free detergent
See A white film on glassware, dishware and the
interior in this TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS section.

deposits in water
A special filter in the water supply line is the only way to
correct this problem. Contact a water softener company.
White film on inside
surface— hard water
minerals
We recommend
Finish
®
Jet-Dry
®
Rinse Aid
to help
prevent hard water mineral deposits from forming.
Run dishwasher with citric acid to remove mineral
deposits. Citric acid (Part number: WD35X151) can be
ordered through GE Appliances Parts. See back cover
for ordering information. Alternatively, purchase Finish
®
Dishwasher Cleaner and follow the directions on the
label.

16 49-55124-4
Problem Possible Cause What To Do
Sanitized light does
not illuminate at the
end of the cycle
The door was opened and
the cycle was interrupted
during final rinse
Do not interrupt the cycle by opening the door during the
wash cycle.
The incoming water
temperature was too low
Raise the water heater temperature to between 120°F
and 150°F.
Noise Normal operating sounds:
Beeping at the end of the
cycle
Detergent cup opening
Water entering dishwasher
Motor stops and starts at
various times during cycle
Spray arms start and stop
at various times
Drain pump sounds during
pump out
Drain pump starts and
stops several times during
each drain
These are all normal. No action is required.
Rattling dishes when the
spray arm rotates
Make sure dishes are properly loaded. See the Loading
section.
Rattling silverware against
door during wash
Tall utensils may be placed in the upper rack to avoid
bumping against inner door during wash cycle.
A white film on
glassware, dishware
and the interior
This problem is likely
caused by a low quality
phosphate-free dishwasher
detergent
To remove the white film, run your dishes through a
dishwasher cycle with citric acid. Use a WD35X151
citric acid kit found online. Otherwise, use Finish
®
Dishwasher Cleaner found at your local grocery store.
Pour the citric acid in the detergent cup and close the
cover. Place the filmed but otherwise clean glassware and
dishware in the dishwasher. Leave silverware and other
metal items out of the dishwasher. Turn the dishwasher on
and let it run through a complete cycle without detergent.
The glassware, dishware, and dishwasher should come out
film free. Alternatively, a vinegar rinse may be used. Pour 1
cup of vinegar into dishwasher just after the detergent cup
opens and let the dishwasher complete its cycle.
This may be repeated several times a year as needed.
The use of a rinse agent such as
Finish
®
Jet-Dry
®
Rinse Aid
may help minimize a repeat build up of film.
Also, the use of a highly rated detergent such as
Finish
®
Quantum
®
Automatic Dishwashing Detergent will help
prevent film build-up.
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
Troubleshooting Tips... Before you call for service

4
Press Start and close the door within 4 seconds to
resume the cycle.
