Cascade':, Cascade': Complete and Elecmtsol c_Automatic Dishw;Mling Detergents have been approved for use in all GE dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Don't put p(swder detergent into the dispenser until you're ready to wash dishes. The amount of demrgent m use depends on whether your wamr is hard or soft. With hard wam_; you need extra demIgent. With soft wam_; you need less demrgent. Promct your dishes and dishwasher by contacting your wamr department and asking how hard your water is. Twelve or more grains is exuemely hard wamr. A water softener is recommended. _&qtbout it, lime can build up in the wamr valve, which could stick while open and cause flooding. Too much detergent with soft water can cause a pemmnent cloudiness of glassware, called etching. You'll find two detergent dispensei3 on the inside door of your dishwasher. All wash cy'cles-except RINSE0NtF-require detergent in the main cup. _hsh cy'cleswith two washes will also use the open cup.

For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and silverware baskets may vary from your model Upper Rack Although the upper rack is for glasses, cups and saucers, pots and pans can be placed in this rack for eft>ctive cleaning. Gups and glasses fit best along the sides. This is also a secure place for dishwasher-safe plastics. The cup shelf (on some models) to add flexibility. may be placed in the up or down position The upper rack is good for all kinds of odd-shaped utensils. mixing bowls and other items should be placed face down. Saucepans, Securelarger dishwasher-safe plastics overtwo fingerswhenpossible. Make suresmallplastic itemsare secureso they can't fall onto theheater. Be surethat itemsdo not protrudethroughthe bottomof therack and blockrotation of the middlesprayarm. Thiscouldresult in poor washperformancefor itemsin the upperrack. Checkto makesure that tall itemswill not blockrotation of the top washarm. The Wash Tower Keepthe centerareaclear in the lower rack. The wash tower rises through the center of the lower rack during the wash and rinse portions of the cycle. The wash tower shoots water into the midqevel wash arm located under the upper rack. Blocking the wash tower could result in poor wash performance for items in the upper rack. Don'tblock or load tall thingsnext to the WashTower. Lower Rack Whenloadingthe lower rack,do not load largeplatters or traysin the front right corner. Theymayprevent detergentfrom circulatingduring the washcycle. The lower rack is best used for plates, saucers and cookware. Large items such as broiler pans and racks should go along the rightqmnd side. 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. If necessary, oversized glasses and mugs can be placed in the lower rack to maximize loading flexibility. Also, be careful not to let a portion of an item such as a pot or dish handle extend through the bottom rack. This could block the wash arm and result in poor wash performance. Fold-down fingers (on some models) provide flexibility for extra-large and hard-to-fit items. The fingers may be left in the up position or folded down to customize the lower rack. 8 GEAppliances.com Silverware Basket Put flatware in the removable basket with knife handles up to protect your hands. Place spoons in the basket with handles down. Mix knives, forks and spoons so they don't nest togethei. Distribute evenly. Small plastic items, such as measuring spoons and lids flom small containers, should go in the bottom of the silverware basket with silverware on top. Don't let any item extend through bottom, I,ids can be assembled to either end of the silverware basket to contain small items. To assemble an end lid, place the outer lid stud into the hole on the outside of the silverware basket. Then place the inside lid stud into tim inner hole in the silverware basket. Repeat for other side if desired. Long items can be placed on the cupshelf in the upper rack. The silverware basket can be placed in the flont, side or back of the lower rack. The accessory basket (on some models) can hold small items such as: baby bottle nipples, plastic lids, corn cob holders, etc. It can hang from the top hoop of the upper rack along the right side or it can also hang on the right or left side of the lower rack. When hanging the accessory basket on the right side in the upper rack, make sure the top is closed and nothing is sticking out. 9 Loadingplace settings.
