SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk
of fire, explosion, electric shock, and to prevent property damage, personal injury, or
death.
WARNING!
WATER HEATER SAFETY
WARNING!
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.
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as
described in this Owner’s Manual.
Use only detergents or wetting agents
recommended for use in a dishwasher
and keep them out of reach of children.
Using a detergent that is not specifically
designed for dishwashers will cause the
dishwasher to fill with suds.
Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the
door seal.
Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of
cut-type injuries.
Do not wash plastic items unless marked dishwasher safe
or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
Do not touch the heating element during or immediately
after use.
Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure
panels are properly in place.
Do not tamper with controls.
Do not abuse, sit on or stand on the door or dish rack of the
dishwasher.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play with,
on or inside this appliance at any time.
Do not store or use combustible materials including gasoline
or other flammable liquids or vapors in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.
Small parts, such as rack clips and filter retaining posts, can
be a choke hazard to small children if removed from the
dishwasher. Keep out of reach of small children.
WARNING!
When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:
PROPER INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
This dishwasher must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used. If
you did not receive an Installation Instructions sheet with your dishwasher, you can receive one by visiting our Website at
GEAppliances.com. In Canada, visit www.GEAppliances.ca.
Connect the dishwasher/appliance to a grounded metal,
permanent wiring system; or run an equipment-grounding
conductor with the circuit conductors and connect to the
equipment-grounding terminal or lead of the appliance.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service representative if you are in doubt
whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Dispose of discarded appliances and shipping or packing
material properly.
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your
dishwasher unless it is specifically recommended in this
manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.
Use only cord kit WX09X70910 or hard-wire to building
electrical. Failure to follow this instruction, could result in risk of
fire and personal injury.
To minimize the possibility of electric shock, disconnect this
appliance from the power supply before attempting any
maintenance.
NOTE: Turning the dishwasher off does not disconnect the
appliance from the power supply. We recommend having
a qualified technician service your appliance.

or remove the latch by removing the two screws from the door latch keeper (as shown).
WARNING!
CAUTION:
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.

Flashing Display Lights
Filling the Dispenser
Fill the rinse agent dispenser until it reaches the bottom of
lip inside the opening. Replace cap.
To check if rinse agent is needed, remove the cap and
look into the dispenser.
A full dispenser should last about one month.
If the rinse agent spills, wipe up the excess.
Check the Water Temperature
The entering water must be at least 120°F and
not more than 150°F, 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.
Adjust the maximum/minimum temperature of the
water heater if necessary to deliver water at the
proper temperature.
Use a Rinse Agent such as Cascade
®
Rinse Aid
Proper Use of Detergent
Rinse agents, such as Cascade
®
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.
Use only detergent specifically made for use in
dishwashers. Cascade
®
Automatic Dishwashing
Detergents have been approved for use in all GE
dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry.
Don’t put powder detergent into the dispenser until
you’re ready to wash dishes.
The amount of detergent to use depends on whether
your water is hard or soft. With hard water, you
need extra detergent. With soft water, you need less
detergent.
Protect your dishes and dishwasher by contacting
your water department and asking how hard your
water is. Twelve or more grains is extremely hard
water. A water softener is recommended. Without
it, lime can build up in the water valve, which could
stick while open and cause flooding. Too much
detergent with soft water can cause a permanent
cloudiness of glassware, called etching.
Use the information in the table below as a guideline
to determine the amount of automatic dishwasher
detergent to place in the dispenser.
You’ll find two detergent dispensers on the inside door
of your dishwasher. All wash cycles require detergent
in the main cup.
When
using automatic dishwashing
detergent tabs, simply place one tab in the main cup
and close.
Be sure the Dial is OFF before adding detergent.
Otherwise, the
detergent cup will not close and latch
properly.
Add detergent then close the main cup.
NOTE: To open detergent cup after it has been
closed, simply turn the detergent cup handle
counterclockwise until it releases. A snapping
sound may be heard.
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
to work with dishwashers.

Loading the dishwasher racks
12
Upper Rack
The upper rack is for glasses, cups and
saucers. Cups and glasses fit best along
the sides. This is also a secure place for
dishwasher-safe plastics. The upper rack is
good for all kinds of odd-shaped utensils.
Saucepans, mixing bowls and other items
should be placed face down.
Secure larger dishwasher-safe plastics over
two fingers when possible.
Make sure small plastic items are secure so
they can’t fall onto the heating element.
Wash Tower
Keep the center area clear in the lower
rack.
The wash tower rises through the
center of the lower rack during the
wash and rinse portions of the cycle.
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 right
corner. They may prevent detergent from
circulating during the wash cycle.
The lower rack is best used for plates,
saucers and cookware. Large items such as
broiler pans and racks 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.
Don’t block the wash
tower or load tall things
next to it.
Be sure items don’t fall
through rack and block
rotation of the spray arm.
Also, be careful not to
let a portion of an item
such as a pot or dish
handle extend through
the bottom rack. This
could block the wash
arm and cause poor
washing results.
Silverware Basket
Put 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.
DON’T LET ANY ITEM EXTEND THROUGH
BOTTOM OF SILVERWARE BASKET AND
RACK, TO ENSURE PROPER FUNCTION
OF SPRAY ARM.
Do not cover upper rack tower

Caring for the dishwasher
To clean the control panel, use a lightly dampened cloth, then dry thoroughly. To clean the exterior, use a good appliance
polish. Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.
If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place
during the winter, ask a service technician to:
1
Cut 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 inlet line and water
valve. (Use a pan to catch the water.)
4
Reconnect the water inlet line to the
water valve.
5
Remove the plastic sump cover in the tub
bottom and use a sponge to soak up water
in the rubber boot.
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
chrome cover.
2
Unscrew the plastic cap and clean with
a toothpick.
Check the air gap any time your
dishwasher isn’t draining well.
