IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
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
During or after wash cycle, contents may be hot to
the touch. Use care before handling.
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.
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.
Load light-weight, plastic items so they do not
become dislodged and drop to the bottom of the
dishwasher—they might come into contact with the
heating element and be damaged.
WARNING
RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

USING THE DISHWASHER
Dispensers
Detergent Dispenser
The detergent dispenser is located in the center of
the dishwasher door. It has two compartments. The
main wash compartment is found inside the detergent
dispenser. To open, press the button on the side of the
dispenser. The pre-wash compartment is on the lid of
the detergent dispenser. 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 dishware.
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
GE Appliances recommends using high quality detergent
in tablet or packet form. Independent testing has shown
this form of detergent is very effective in the dishwasher.
Cascade
®
Platinum™ ActionPacs™ or Finish
®
Quantum
®
Powerball
®
are examples of this type of detergent.
However, some single dose detergents are not designed for
shorter cycles. If you experience wash-out issues with these
tablets or packets, follow the instructions below:
Rinsing cycles - DO NOT use detergents. (These cycles
are designed for rinsing dishes only, not soil removal.)
Washing cycles less than 60 minutes (not including
additional dry or wash options) - Put a tablet or
packet into the pre-wash compartment of the detergent
cup, or in the bottom of the dishwasher. (These cycles
are designed to be shorter which could result in bad
detergent wash-out if the detergent is placed in the
main wash compartment of the detergent cup. Wash
performance will be diminished as a result.)
Washing cycles 60 minutes or longer (not including
additional dry or wash options) - Put a tablet or packet
into the main wash compartment of the detergent cup and
close the detergent cup cover. (These cycles are designed
for tougher soils and will likely have more fills/drains than
the shorter cycles. If the tablet or packet is placed in the
pre-wash 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.

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.
Upper Rack
The upper rack is primarily for glasses, cups, and
saucers. For best wash performance, tilt cup and glass
openings toward the center of the rack. Other items such
as pots, pans, and plates may be placed in the upper
rack. 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. Ensure small plastic items are secure so
that they cannot fall on the heater at the bottom of the
dishwasher, potentially damaging the item.
IMPORTANT: Ensure items in the upper rack do not
interfere with the 3rd Rack (on some models) when
loading and unloading.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that items do not protrude through
the bottom of the rack or silverware basket where they
will block the rotation of the middle 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.
CAUTION
To add flexibility in loading, the stem safe shelf (on some
models) may be placed in the up or down position or
unfolded and placed in the lower unfolded position.
The shelf may also be used to secure stemware such as
wine glasses. Because these stemware items come in
various sizes, slowly push the rack in to ensure the items
do not bump into the edges of the dishwasher, which
may cause damage to the items.

Dishwasher Interior
To clean and de-odorize your dishwasher, use citric
acid, or Cascade
®
Platinum™ Dishwasher Cleaner or
Finish
®
Dishwasher Cleaner, a detergent additive. They
will break up mineral deposits, and remove hard water
film and stains. You can order citric acid, GE Appliances
kit # WD35X151, through GE Appliances Parts by calling

Stainless Steel Inner Door and Tub
The stainless steel used to make the dishwasher tub and
inner door provides the highest reliability available in a
GE Appliances dishwasher.
If the dishwasher tub or inner door should be scratched
or dented during normal use, they will not rust or
corrode. These surface blemishes will not affect their
function or durability.
Exterior Door Panel
Before cleaning the front panel, make sure you know
what type of panel you have. Refer to the last two letters
of your model number. You can locate your model
number on the left-hand tub wall just inside the door. If
your model number ends with BB, CC, WW, SA, ES, DS,
TS or FS then you have a painted door panel. If your
model number ends with SS, then you have a Stainless
Steel door panel. If your model number ends with II, then
you have an Integrated door panel.
Follow the instructions below for cleaning the door panel
for your specific model.
Painted/Coated Door Panels
(model numbers ending in BB–black, CC–bisque, WW–
white, SA-silver, ES-slate, DS-black slate, TS-black
stainless steel or FS-fingerprint resistant stainless steel)
DO NOT use Stainless Steel cleaners on the
door surfaces.
Use a clean, soft, lightly dampened cloth, then dry
thoroughly.
Do not use scouring pads or powered cleaners because
these products can scratch the finish.
Stainless Steel Door Panel
(model numbers ending in SS)
For cleaning rust and tarnish, cleaners with oxalic acid
such as Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser™ will remove
rust, tarnish and small blemishes. Use only a liquid
cleanser free of grit and rub in the direction of the brush
lines with a damp soft sponge. Do not use appliance wax
or polish on the stainless steel.
For other blemishes and marks, use Stainless Steel
Magic or a similar product using a clean soft cloth.
Do not use appliance wax, polish, bleach or products
containing chlorine on Stainless Steel. You can
order Stainless Steel Magic # WX10X29 through GE
Appliances Parts by calling 877.959.8688. In Canada,
call 800-661-1616.
Integrated Door Panel (model numbers ending in II)
This is a custom installed door panel, and you will need
to refer to the cabinet manufacturers recommendations
for proper cleaning.

Filters
Inspect and clean the filters periodically. This should be done every other month or more depending on usage. If
there is a decrease in wash performance or dishes feel gritty, this is also an indication the filters need to be cleaned.
Protect Against Freezing
If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place during the winter, ask a service technician to:
1
Turn off electrical power to the dishwasher. Remove
fuses or trip circuit breaker.
2
Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet
line from the water valve.
3
Drain water from the water inlet line and water valve.
(Use a pan to catch the water.)
4
Reconnect the water inlet line to the water valve.
Does Your Dishwasher Have an Air Gap?
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.

Filter Basket in the counterclockwise direction to unlock
it from the Ultra-Fine Filter assembly. See directional
arrows on the bottom of the Filter Basket. Pull the Filter
Basket to remove from the assembly, throw away any
food particles, rinse with warm soapy water, and use a
sponge to remove any stubborn particles.

To clean the Fine Filter (mesh plate), remove the bottom
rack. Remove the Ultra-Fine Filter.
Remove the Fine Filter. Rinse filter with warm soapy
water. Scouring pads or brushes can scratch the filter
surface but a soft brush or sponge may be needed to
remove stubborn soils or calcium deposits caused by
hard water. Once cleaned, replace the Fine Filter and
the Ultra-Fine Filter.

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. If problem persists, call for service.
Dishwasher BEEPS
once every minute
(on some models)
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 (on
some models)
This is normal. Dishwasher
will beep twice at the end of
the cycle.
To turn off the double beep indicator (or re-activate it if
it was previously turned off), press the Heated Dry pad 5
times within 3 seconds. A triple beep will sound to indicate
the end-of-cycle beep option has been turned on or off.
Dishes and flatware
not clean
Ultra-Fine Filter assembly
or Fine Filter 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/High if available.
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 Clean the air gap or flush the disposer.
High drain loop or air gap
not installed
Refer to the Installation Instructions for proper drain line
installation.
Improper rack loading Make sure large dishware does not block the detergent
dispenser or the wash arms. See the Loading section.
Poor performing detergent Use high quality detergents such as Cascade
®
Platinum™
ActionPacs™ or Finish
®
Quantum
®
Automatic
Dishwashing Detergent.
Spots and filming
on glasses and
flatware
Extremely hard water Use high quality rinse agents such as
Cascade
®
Platinum™ Power Dry™ Rinse Aid or
Finish
®
Jet-Dry
®
Rinse Aid to prevent spots and prevent new film build-up.
If water is extremely hard, a softener may be required.
Low inlet water temperature Make sure water temperature is at least 120°F (49°C).
Overloading or improper
loading of the dishwasher
Load dishwasher as shown in the Loading section.
Old or damp powder
detergent
Make sure detergent is fresh. Use high quality detergents
such as Cascade
®
Platinum™ ActionPacs™ or Finish
®
Quantum
®
Automatic Dishwashing Detergent.
Rinse agent dispenser empty
Refill with high quality rinse agents such as Cascade
®
Platinum™
Power Dry™ Rinse Aid or Finish
®
Jet-Dry
®
Rinse Aid.
Too little or low performing
detergent
Make sure you use the proper amount of highly rated
detergent.
Cloudiness on
glassware
Combination of soft water
and too much detergent
This is called etching and is permanent. To prevent this
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 section.
Water temperature entering
the dishwasher exceeds
150°F (66°C)
This could be etching. Lower the water heater
temperature.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
Troubleshooting Tips... Before you call for service
Problem Possible Cause What To Do
Suds in the tub Wrong detergent Use only high quality automatic dishwasher detergents to
avoid sudsing. Cascade
®
Platinum™ ActionPacs™ or
Finish
®
Quantum
®
Automatic Dishwashing Detergent
have been approved for use in all GE Appliances
dishwashers.
To remove suds from the tub, open the dishwasher and
let suds dissipate. Pump out water by pressing Start and
close the door. Wait 30 seconds. Open the door, press
and hold Start for 3 seconds, and close the door. Repeat
if necessary.
Rinse agent was spilled Always wipe up rinse agent spills immediately.
Detergent left in
dispenser cups
Dishes are blocking the
detergent cup
Reposition the dishes, so the water from the lower spray
arm can flush the detergent cup. See the Loading section.
Reposition dishware that may be keeping the dispenser
cup door from opening. See the Loading section.
Black or gray marks
on dishes
Aluminum utensils have
rubbed against dishes
Remove marks with a mild, abrasive cleaner.
Dishes don’t dry Low inlet water temperature Make sure inlet water temperature is at least 120°F.
Select Heated Dry.
Use Wash Temp High.
Select a higher cycle, such as Steam Sani or Heavy/
Heavy Duty.
Rinse agent dispenser is
empty
Check the rinse agent dispenser and fill as required.
Additional drying time is
needed
Leave door closed after the Clean light appears to allow
the fan to run an additional 90 minutes (on some models).
Note: If you open the door, this fan extension will be cancelled.
Cycle selection If using Light/Time Saver cycle which uses lower water
temperature and thus limited dry performance, switch to a
different cycle.
Cycle completion Allow cycles to fully complete. See Long cycle times in
this Troubleshooting Tips section
Long cycle times Dishwasher washes by
alternating mid and lower
spray arms
Longer cycles are normal. For best wash and dry
performance, let cycle complete.
Soil level On some models, the turbidity sensor senses how much
soil is on the dishes. Heavy soiled dish loads will add
more time to the cycle. This is normal function. For best
wash and dry performance, allow cycle to complete.
Control panel
responded to inputs
but dishwasher
never filled with
water
Door may not be completely
closed
Make sure the door is firmly closed.
Water valve may be turned
off
Make sure water valve (usually located under the sink) is
turned on. If problem persists, call for service.
Flood float may be stuck Remove the Ultra-Fine Filter assembly and lightly tap the
piece under the ultra fine filter assembly that looks like a
dome. Replace the filter.
