Proper Use of Detergent
Use only detergent specifically made for use in
dishwashers. Cascade
® , Cascade ® Complete and
Electrasol ® 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.
All wash cycles except RINSE ONLY require
detergent in the main and pre-wash cup.
The amount of detergent to use depends on
whether your water is hard or soft. With hard
water, fill the main wash section and pre-wash
section completely. With soft water, fill both
sections halfway. When using automatic
dishwashing detergent tabs, simply place
one tab in the main wash section and close.
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.
Filling the Dispenser
If the dispenser cover is closed, open the
cover by depressing the cover latch.
Fill the Main Wash section with detergent.
Fill the Pre-Wash section if needed.
Close the dispenser cover.
It is normal for the cover to open partially
when dispensing detergent
