Using the dishwasher. GEAppliances.ca The entering water should be at least 120°F (50 °C) and not more than 150°F (65.5 °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.
Safety Instructions Using the dishwasher. 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. The amount of detergent to use depends on whether your water is hard or soft. With hard water, you need extra detergent.
Loading the dishwasher racks. GEAppliances.ca Upper Rack Lower Rack When loading the lower rack, do not load large platters or trays in the front left corner. They may prevent detergent from circulating during the wash cycle. The lower rack is best used for plates, saucers and cookware. Large items should go along the sides. 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.
Safety Instructions Caring for the dishwasher. To clean the control panel, use a lightly dampened cloth, then dry thoroughly. To clean the exterior, use a good appliance polish wax. Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher. Cleaning the Spray Arms and the Filters The dishwasher will flush away all normal food soils.
