SAFETY INFORMATION

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

WARNING

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

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.

WARNING

WHEN USING YOUR DISHWASHER, FOLLOW BASIC PRECAUTIONS,

INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:

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.

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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

PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE DISHWASHER

Junked or abandoned dishwashers are dangerous…even if they will sit for “just a few days”.

If you are getting rid of your dishwasher, please follow the instructions below to help

prevent accidents.

Do not allow children to play with, on, or inside this or any discarded appliance.

Do not discard a dishwasher without first removing the door of the washing compartment

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

CAUTION

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

This appliance must be supplied with 120V, 60 Hz,

and connected to an individual, properly grounded

branch circuit, protected by a 15 or 20 amp circuit

breaker or time-delay fuse.

If the electric supply provided does not meet the

above specifications, it is recommended that a

licensed electrician install an approved outlet.

Your dishwasher circuit should not be used for any

other appliance while the dishwasher is in operation as

the dishwasher requires the full capacity of the circuit.

USING THE DISHWASHER

Dispensers

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.

Adjust the maximum/minimum temperature of the

water heater if necessary to deliver water at the proper

temperature.

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

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.

14 49-55114

Dispensers

USING THE DISHWASHER

Detergent Dispenser

Use only detergent specifically made for use in

dishwashers. Finish

Quantum

Automatic

Dishwashing Detergents have been approved for use

in all GE Appliances 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.

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, such as Finish

Quantum

Powerball

, 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.

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

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. 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.

Lower Rack

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.

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.

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.

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.

Don’t block the upper rack wash tower.

Do not cover upper rack tower

(not present on all models)

Tower

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.

Care and cleaning

USING THE DISHWASHER

Control Panel

To clean the control panel, use a lightly dampened cloth.

Then dry thoroughly.

Dishwasher Interior

To clean and de-odorize your dishwasher, use citric acid

or Finish

Dishwasher Cleaner, a detergent additive.

Finish

Dishwasher Cleaner 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 877-959-8688

or visiting GEApplianceparts.com. In Canada,

call 1-800-661-1616. You can purchase Finish

Dishwasher Cleaner at your local grocery store.

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

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

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 1-800-661-1616.

Protect Against Freezing

If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place during the

winter, ask a service technician to:

Turn 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 water 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.

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.

Turn off the dishwasher and lift off the air gap cover.

Remove the plastic cap under the cover and clean with a

toothpick.

Replace the cap and cover when the air gap is clean.

Check the air gap any

time your dishwasher

isn’t draining well.

Problem Possible Cause What To Do

Dishes and flatware

not clean

Low inlet water temperature Raise the water heater temperature to 120°F.

Use HOT START, POTS & PANS or HEAVY WASH and

HI TEMP WASH.

Poor performing detergent Use a highly rated detergent such as Finish

Quantum

Automatic Dishwashing Detergent.

Old or damp powdered

detergent

See USING THE DISHWASHER section, refer to

Detergent Dispenser for detergent recommendations.

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.

Improper rack loading Make sure large dishware does not block the detergent

dispenser or the wash arm. See the Loading section.

High drain loop or air gap

not installed

Refer to the Installation Instructions for proper drain line

installation.

Spots and filming

on glasses and

flatware

Extremely hard water Use rinse agents such as 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 a highly rated

detergent such as Finish

Quantum

Automatic

Dishwashing Detergent.

Rinse agent dispenser empty

Refill with rinse agent such as 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

dishwasher exceeds 150°F

This could be etching. Lower the water heater

temperature.

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

20 49-55114

Problem Possible Cause What To Do

Stained tub interior Some tomato-based foods

can cause reddish stains

Use of the RINSE ONLY cycle after adding the dish to

the load can decrease the level of staining.

Tea or coffee stains Remove the stain by hand, using a solution of 1/2 cup

bleach and 3 cups warm water.

Before cleaning interior, wait at

least 20 minutes after a cycle for

the heating elements to cool down. Failure to do so

can result in burns.

CAUTION

Antes de limpiar la parte

interna, espere por lo menos

20 minutos luego de un ciclo, hasta que los

elementos de calentamiento se enfríen. Si esto no

se cumple, se podrán sufrir quemaduras.

PRECAUCIÓN

An overall yellow or brown

film can be caused by iron

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

GE Appliances recommends

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 Consumer

Support section for ordering information. Alternatively,

purchase Finish

Dishwasher Cleaner and follow the

directions on the label.

provided through a wall switch, often located next to the

disposer switch. Make sure it is on.

Control panel lights

go off when you’re

setting controls

Time too long between

touching of selected pads

Each pad must be touched within 30 seconds of the

others. To relight, touch any pad again or unlatch and

relatch the door.

Water standing in the

bottom of the tub

This is normal A small amount of clean water around the outlet on the

tub bottom at the back of the tub keeps the water seal

lubricated.

Water won’t pump

out of the tub

Drain is clogged If you have an air gap, clean it. See the Care and

Cleaning section.

If the dishwasher drains into a disposer, run disposer clear.

Check to see if your kitchen sink is draining well. If not,

you may need a plumber.
