USING THE DISHWASHER

Getting started

Select Cycle

Press the Select Cycle button for the desired wash cycle. On some models, the light next to the Select Cycle

button will be lit to indicate which wash cycle has been selected. On other models, pressing the Select Cycle

button will show various cycles in the display window. Press the button until the desired cycle is shown.

NOTE: Actual cycle times vary based on soil level, water temperature, and options selected.

The cycle may be selected with the door in the open position. The cycle will not start until the Start button is

pushed and the door is closed within 4 seconds.

AutoSense This cycle automatically senses the soil level and adjusts the wash cycle accordingly. *Time

range: 1 hour 50 minutes - 2 hours 10 minutes.

Heavy This cycle is meant for heavily soiled dishes, cookware, pots, or pans with dried-on or baked-on

soils. Everyday dishes are safe to be used in this cycle. *Time: 2 hours 31 minutes.

Normal This cycle is meant for daily, regular, or typical use to completely wash a full load of normally

soiled dishes and is designed to conserve both water and energy. *Time range: 1 hour 15

minutes - 1 hour 50 minutes. NOTE: Normal was used to rate the energy efficiency of this

dishwasher.

selected. *Time: 55 minutes.

eWash

(on some

models)

This cycle will efficiently wash dishes using about 2 gallons of water and .8 KWhr. Selecting

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
