Using the dishwasher GEAppliances.cam

Check the Water Temperature

Theentering water must be at least 120°Fand

not more than 150°F,for effective cleaning and to

prevent dish damage. Checkthe water temperature

with u candy or meat thermometer. Turn onthe

hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher, place

the thermometer in a glass and letthe water

run continuously into the glass until the temperature

stops rising.

Adjust the maximum/minimum temperature of the

water heater if necessary to deliverwater at the

proper temperature.

Use o RinseAgent such as Cascade®Rinse AidTM

Rinseagents,such usCascade®RinseAidTM 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 Dispenser

Fillthe rinseagent dispenser until it reachesthe bottom of

lip insidethe opening. Replacecap.

Tocheck if rinseagent is needed,remove the cap and

look into the dispenser.

A full dispensershould last about one month.

If the rinseagent spills,wipe up the excess.

Proper Use of Detergent

Useonly detergent specifically made for usein

dishwashers.Cascade®Automatic Dishwashing

Detergents have been approved for use in all GE

dishwashers. Keepyour detergent fresh and dry.

Don't put powder detergent into the dispenser until

you're ready to wash dishes.

Theamount of detergent to usedepends on whether

your water ishard or soft. With hard water, you

need extra detergent. With soft water, you need less

detergent.

Protectyour dishes and dishwasher by contacting

your water department and asking how hard your

water is.Twelve or more grains isextremely 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, calledetching.

Usethe information in the table below as a guideline

to determine the amount of automatic dishwasher

detergent to place in the dispenser.

Becauseso many detergent containers lookalike,

store the dishwasher detergent in a separate space

from all other cleaners.Showanyone who may use

the dishwasher the correct detergent and where it

is stored.

Whilethere will be no lastingdamage to the
