What To Do
• Press the START/RESET pad one time to start the dishwasher. Press it a
second time only if you wish to cancel the cycle and start over with
a new cycle.
• Close and latch the door after opening it mid-cycle.
What To Do
• Make sure the inlet water temperature is at least 120°F. Remove the
Unicouple, if attached, and run the hot water faucet until the water
temperature stops rising to purge cold water from the hot water line.
Turn off the faucet. Reconnect the Unicouple and then turn the faucet
back on. If the water temperature did not reach 120°F, consider
increasing the water temperature at the water heater. Water
temperature must not exceed 150°F.
If so, wait until pressure is normal before using your dishwasher.
• Make sure large dishware does not block the detergent dispenser
or the wash arms. See the Loading the dishwasher racks section.

• Use Jet-Dry or Cascade Crystal Clear
prevent new film buildup.
• To remove stubborn spots and pre-existing film from glassware:
1 Remove all metal utensils from the dishwasher.
2 Do not add detergent.
3 Select the HEAVY WASH cycle.
4 Start the dishwasher and allow to run for 18 to 22 minutes. Dishwasher
will now be in the main wash.
5 Open the door and pour 2 cups (500 ml) of white vinegar into the
bottom of the dishwasher.
6 Close the door and allow to complete the cycle. If vinegar rinse doesn't
work: Repeat as above, except use 1/4 cup (60 ml) of citric acid crystals
instead of vinegar.
• This is called etching and is permanent. To prevent this from happening,
use less detergent if you have soft water. Wash glassware in the shortest
cycle that will get them clean.
• This could be etching. Lower the water heater temperature.
• Use only automatic dishwasher detergents to avoid sudsing.
Cascade ® and Electrasol ® 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. Pump out water
by touching the START/RESET pad once; then 30 seconds later,
touch the START/RESET pad again. Repeat if necessary.
• Always wipe up rinse agent spills immediately.
