Using the dishwasher.
Check the Water Temperature
Use a Rinse Agent such as Cascade
®
Rinse Aid™
Rinse agents, such as Cascade ® Rinse Aid™ are designed for great drying action and protect against spots
and film build-up on your dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware, and plastic.
Filling the Dispenser
The rinse agent dispenser holds 3.5 oz. (100 ml) of rinse agent. Under normal
conditions, this will last approximately one month.
1 Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.
2 Open the RINSE AID dispenser door.
3 Slowly add rinse agent until the fill cup is full. May need to pause several times to
allow rinse aid to settle.
4 Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a damp cloth.
5 Close the RINSE AID dispenser door.
Rinse Aid Setting
The amount of rinse agent released into the final wash can be adjusted. The
factory setting is at the midpoint. If hard water spots appear on dishes, try a
higher setting. If you see foam in the dishwasher, move the indicator to a lower
setting.
To adjust the setting
Open the RINSE AID dispenser door ; then turn the adjuster clockwise to
increase the amount of rinse agent, counterclockwise to reduce the amount of rinse agent.
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.

Energy Smart
Energy Smart enables your dishwasher to reduce energy
consumption during periods of high energy costs. If you are
in an area where your electricity provider charges variable
rates at different times of the day, your dishwasher will
inform you of those times when you are paying the highest
rate. You can then either delay starting your dishwasher
until the rate goes down; or you can override the feature
and run your dishwasher at your convenience.
What you will need:
1 Smart Meter that will communicate with your
dishwasher. Consult your local electricity provider to
determine if the technology is available in your area.
2 An Energy Smart dishwasher model (GDF520, GDF540,
GDT530 or GDT550).
3 An Appliance Communication Module (ACM). Please
visit, gebrillion.com to order the communication device
that will need to be installed in the dishwasher.
