What To Do
• Use only automatic dishwasher detergents to avoid sudsing.
Cascade Automatic Dishwashing Detergents have been approved
®
for use in all GE dishwashers.
• To remove suds from the tub, open the dishwasher and let
suds dissipate. Close and latch the dishwasher door. Pump out water
by touching the START/RESET button once; then 30 seconds later,
touch the START/RESET button again. Repeat if necessary.
• Always wipe up rinse agent spills immediately.
• Reposition the dishes, so the water from the lower spray arm can
flush the detergent cup. See pages 15 and 16.
• Remove marks with a mild, abrasive cleaner.
• Make sure inlet water temperature is at least 120°F.
• Select HEATED DRY.
• Use ADDED HEAT options.
• Select a higher cycle, such as SANI WASH/SANITIZE or DEEP CLEAN.
• Check the rinse agent dispenser and fill as required.
• Make sure the door is firmly closed.
• Make sure water valve (usually located under the sink) is turned on.
• Use of the RINSE AND HOLD cycle after adding the dish to the load
can decrease the level of staining.
• Remove the stain by hand, using a solution of 1/2 cup bleach
and 3 cups warm water.
WARNING
Before cleaning interior, wait at least 20 minutes after a cycle for the
