Using the dishwasher
Filling the Dispenser
The rinse agent dispenser holds 3.5 oz. of rinse agent. Under normal conditions, this will
last approximately one month. Try to keep it full, but do not overfill.
1. Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.
2. Turn the dispenser knob to the left and lift it out.
3. Add rinse agent until the indicator window looks full.
4. Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a damp cloth.
5. Replace the dispenser knob.
Using the dishwasher
Rinse Aid Setting
The amount of rinse agent released into the final wash can be adjusted. The factory
setting is at the midpoint. If there are rings of calcium (hard water) spots on dishes, try a
higher setting.
To adjust the setting
Remove the dispenser knob; then turn the adjuster counterclockwise to increase the
amount of rinse agent.
Dish Preparation Prior to Loading
No pre rinsing of normal food soil is required.
Scrape off hard soils, including bones, toothpicks, skins, and seeds.
Remove large quantities of any remaining food
Remove leafy vegetables, meat trimmings, and excessive amounts of grease or oil.
Remove acidic food soils that can discolor stainless steel.
Using the dishwasher
Proper Use of Detergent
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.
If the dispenser cover is closed, open the cover
Fill the Main Wash section with detergent.
Fill the Pre-wash section if needed.
Close the dispenser cover.
Loading the dishwasher racks
For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines.
Features and appearance of racks and silverware baskets may
vary from your model.
Upper Rack
Although the upper rack is for glasses, cups and saucers, pots
and pans can be placed in this rack for effective cleaning. Cups
and glasses fit best along the sides. This is also a secure place
for dishwasher-safe plastics.
The upper rack is adjustable (on some models) to add flexibility
in loading your dishwasher. To lower, push tabs in and lower
rack. To raise, just pull up on rack until it snaps.
The utility shelf (on some models) may be placed in the up or
down position to add flexibility. A wine glass holder (on some
models) secures wine glasses for best washability. Because
wine glasses come in various sizes, after loading, slowly push
in the rack to make sure they will clear the top of the
dishwasher.
Loading the dishwasher racks
Lower Rack
The lower rack is best used for plates, saucers, and cookware.
Large items such as broiler pans and baking racks should go
along the left-hand side. 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. If necessary, oversized glasses and
mugs can be placed in the lower rack to maximize loading
flexibility.
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.
Fold-down tines (on some models) provide flexibility for
extra-large and hard-to-fit items. The tines may be left in the up
position or folded down to customize the lower rack.
Loading the dishwasher racks
Silverware Basket
A variety of options is available regarding the three-piece silverware basket in
your dishwasher. The complete basket is designed to fit on the right side of the
lower rack. Additionally, each end of
the basket is removable to add loading flexibility to accommodate flatware and
lower rack capacity needs.
To load flatware, simply push the adjustable handle to either side. Put flatware
in the basket with 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.
The provided lids with slots can be used to avoid nesting of silverware. Small
plastic items, such as measuring spoons and
lids for small containers, should go in the bottom of the silverware basket with
silverware on top.
The lids of both end and middle baskets can be closed to contain small items.
Long items can be placed on the utility shelf in the upper rack.
Loading place settings…
Follow these guidelines for loading 10 place settings. Features and appearance of racks
and silverware baskets may vary from your model.
Loading place settings…
Follow these guidelines for loading 12 place settings. Features and appearance of racks
and silverware baskets may vary from your model.

How long does it take a GE dishwasher to wash dishes?
The average dishwasher cycle lasts between two to four hours. Some cycles add time. If you
use the Hi Temp, SaniWash or Heated Dry cycle, expect your dishwasher to run longer.
How long is the drying cycle on a GE dishwasher?
49 minutes for a light load, 75 minutes for a normal load, and 147 minutes for a heavy load. You
can select heated dry if you would like, but I usually let the dishes set for about 15 to 20
minutes and everything is dry when I take them out. Sorry, there was a problem. Please try
again later.
What is the temperature boost on a GE dishwasher?
If the Water Temp Boost or Wash Heat Boost button is pushed in, the dishwasher
extends the main wash time by about 20 minutes, which raises the water temperature
from about 120 degrees F to 140 degrees F. This will improve wash performance,
especially when heavily soiled dishes are involved.
Do GE dishwashers have a cleaning cycle?
Many GE Dishwashers have Sanitize Cycles that meet National Sanitize Foundation (NSF)
Residential standards. Check your use and care manual to see if your dishwasher has a
sanitize cycle and how to use it. By running this cycle, you can reduce 99% of bacteria on
dishes.
