We ask that you please be sure to read all the

Important Safety Instructions before operating your

new appliance to insure your safety.

or refer to page 20.

• HOT WATER – Your dishwasher

needs hot water for best results.

Water entering the dishwasher

should be at least 120°F. but your

dishwasher performs BETTER with

HIGHER water temperatures not to

exceed 150°F.

• WATER HARDNESS – The

hardness of the water plays an

important part in how well your

dishwasher cleans. In areas where

water is very hard (12 grains or

more), it may be necessary to install

a water softener. If you do not know

the hardness of your water supply,

contact your local water department.

• DETERGENTS – Only use

detergents labeled for use in

automatic dishwashers.

Never use laundry detergents or

liquid soaps…that will cause

oversudsing and leaks. The amount

of detergent you use depends on the

water hardness and the amount of

soil on your dishes. In most cases,

detergent amounts should be

increased for hard water and heavy

soil.

• Jet Dry

Rinse Agent should always

be used:

– to reduce water spotting

– to improve drying.

Refill the Rinse Agent once per

month.

• FOR BEST RESULTS – The cycles

and the options you choose have an

effect on the results you get. Please,

see the Operating Instructions and

Tips for more information.

Do I need to rinse my dishes before putting them in the dishwasher? Verified

Rinsing the dishes is not necessary, but you do need to remove any large, hard and fat leftovers. These could clog the drain over time.

Can I open the dishwasher while it is running? Verified

Most dishwashers are equipped with a water stop, making the program stop immediately when the door is opened and meaning no water will come out. With some models this can cause problems over time. With built-in dishwashers it is possible that frequently opening the dishwasher while running may cause water damage to surrounging cabinets because of the steam that is released.

Should I open the dishwasher after it finished running to have the dishes dry quicker? Verified

This depends on the type of dishwasher and the location of the dishwasher. Some dishwashers are equipped with a feature that dries the dishes after the washing program. In that case opening the dishwasher will have no added value. With built-in dishwashers it is possible that frequently opening the dishwasher while running may cause water damage to surrounging cabinets because of the steam that is released.

After the dishwaser has finished its cycle, the plastic dishes are still wet but the rest isn't. Why is that? Verified

Plastic is a bad conductor of heat, allowing the products to cool down quickly. The moisture that remains on it then evaporates far less than for example on ceramics or metal.

Can I connect a dishwasher to an extension cord? Verified

Appliances that require large amounts of power, like a dishwasher, can not be connected to all extension cords. See what the power usage of the dishwasher is, which is indicated in Watt, and check if the extension cord cn handle this. There are extension cords with thicker cables that are made to handle larger appliances.

Is it a problem to have scratches on the metal on the inside of the dishwasher? Verified

The inside of most dishwashers is made of stainless steel and are not affected by scratches.

This was helpful (673) Read more

Can I put wooden objects such as spatulas and cutting boards in the dishwasher? Verified

No. Wooden objects can get damaged or warped in a dishwasher. Also, the wood fibres that come free might damage the dishwasher. Wooden cutting boards are often made with glue that can come loose after being in the dishwasher several times.

Can I put pans with Teflon in the dishwasher? Verified

Yes, you can. However, the pan will wear faster than when it is cleaned by hand. When cleaning a pan with Teflon by hand, never use a scourer but use a soft sponge or cloth.

Can my GE appliance also run on a generator? Verified

In general this is possible, but always check this with the manufacturer of your generator. Also be aware that some appliances require a lot of power when starting up (ie: refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners). It's also a good idea to use a generator that is voltage regulated and surge protected. When in doubt you should contact the manufacturer.
