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.

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

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.

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:

Cut off electrical power to the dishwasher.

Remove fuses or trip circuit breaker.

Turn off the water supply and disconnect the

water inlet line from the water valve.

Drain water from the inlet line and water

valve. (Use a pan to catch the water.)

Reconnect the water inlet line to the

water valve.

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.

Turn off the dishwasher and lift off the

chrome cover.

Unscrew the plastic cap and clean with

a toothpick.

Check the air gap any time your

dishwasher isn’t draining well.

Air gap

Does Your Dishwasher Have an Air Gap?

Protect Against Freezing

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 Parts by calling

877.959.8688. In Canada, call 1-800-661-1616.
