Using the Dishwasher
Dishwasher
Water
Temperature
The entering water must 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.
Lighting
Features
Interior Lights
The interior LED lights provide better visibility for
loading and unloading. Do not look directly into
the LED lights. They turn on when the door is
opened and turn off when the door is closed.
The lights will turn off after 15 minutes if the door
remains open. To turn the lights back on, close
and open the door. Do not attempt to replace the bulbs. If light bulb
replacement is necessary, please contact the
GE Answer Center for service by calling
1.800.626.2000.

Products
GE recommends the following products for use in
its dishwashers:
• For your manual detergent dispenser, Cascade®
Platinum Pacs are recommended. Powders,
liquids, and gels may also be used but may not
work as effectively.
• For your rinse agent dispenser, Cascade®
Complete Rinse Aid.
Use a Rinse
Agent
Rinse agents, such as Cascade ® Complete 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 Dispenser
The rinse agent dispenser holds 3.5 oz. (104 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 Agent dispenser door.
3 Slowly add rinse agent until the cup is full. You may
need to pause several times to allow rinse aid to
settle.
4 Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a damp cloth to
prevent foam from forming inside the dishwasher.
5 Close the Rinse Agent dispenser door.
Rinse Aid Setting
The amount of rinse agent released into the final
wash can be adjusted. If water drops or hard water
spots remain on dishes after the dry cycle, increase
the setting.
To adjust the setting
Open the Rinse Agent dispenser door ; then turn
the adjuster clockwise to increase the amount of
rinse agent, counterclockwise to reduce the amount
of rinse agent.
