Detergent has been approved for use in all GE
Appliances dishwashers.
To remove suds from the tub, open the dishwasher and
let suds dissipate. Open the door, press and hold Start
for 3 seconds, and close the door.
Always wipe up rinse agent spills immediately.
Reposition the dishes, so the water from the lower spray
arm can flush the detergent cup. See the Loading section.
Reposition the tall utensils or heavy silverware that may
be keeping the dispenser cup door from opening.
See the Loading section. Don't place large bowls or pots
directly under the detergent dispenser.
Remove marks with a mild, abrasive cleaner.
Make sure inlet water temperature is at least 120°F (49°C).
Select Heated Dry.
Use Hi Temp option.
Select a higher cycle, such as Sanitize or Heavy.
Check the rinse agent dispenser and fill as required.
Leave door closed after the Clean light appears to allow
the fan to run an additional 90 minutes.
Note: If you open the door, this fan extension will be
cancelled.
Make sure the door is firmly closed.
Make sure water valve (usually located under the sink) is
turned on.
Remove Ultra-Fine filter and lightly tap the piece under
the ultra fine filter that looks like a salt shaker. Replace
the filter
GE Appliances recommends Finish

Cleaner and follow the directions on the label.

appliances from the circuit.
In some installations, the power to the dishwasher is
provided through a wall switch, often located next to the
