Loading the dishwasher racks.
For best dishwoshing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and silverware
baskets may vary from gout model.
Upper Rack
Although the upper rack is primarily for
glasses,cups and saucers,pots and pans can
beplaced in this rack for effective cleaning.
Cupsand glassesfit best along the sides.This
is also a secure place for dishwasher plastics.
The utility shelf (somemodels)may be placed
in the up or down position to add flexibility. A
wine glass holder (some models)secures wine
glassesfor best washability.
Some models have contoured metal cup
shelvesthat can secure up to 12 wine glasses
(asshown).
Becausewine glassescome in various sizes,
after loading, slowly push in the rack to make
sure they will clear the top of the dishwasher.
Some models have an Angled Rack System,
which allows you to angle your dishes,such
as coffee mugs, for better cleaning and
quicker drying. To position the tines, pull the
leverforward then drop the tines into
position,then releasethe lever.
The upper rack is good for all kindsof
odd-shaped utensils.Saucepans,mixing
bowls and other items should be placed face
down. Fold-down tines (onsome models)
provide flexibility for extra-large and hard-
to-fit items.
Secure larger dishwasher-safe plastics over
2 tines when possible.
Make sure small plastic items are secure so
they can't fall onto the heater.
Be sure that items do not protrude through
the bottom of the rack and block rotation of
the middle spray arm.This could result in
poor wash performance for items in the
upper rack.
Checkto make sure that no items will block
rotation of the wash arm.
NOTE:The Single RackWash selection,on
models with this feature, washes the upper
rack only. If you use this feature, do not load
items in the lower rack.

Adjustable Upper Rack
The standard position of your adjustable rack
is "up" which allows for maximum clearance
for your taller items in the lower rack. If you
have taller wine glasses,tumblers or other
items to place in the upper rack, you may
want to adjust the rack to the lower position.
To lower the rack, support the weight of the
rackwith your hands as shown and press
both finger pads about Z/a,"toward the inside
of the rack as indicated and guide the rack
down to its lower position.
To raise the rack to the "up" position, pull up
on the center of the rack side frame until the

Lower Rock
The lower rack is best used for plates, saucers
and cookware, Large items such as broiler
pans and baking racks should go along the
left-hand side. Loadplatters, 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 glassesand
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. Thiscould block the wash
arm and cause poor washing results.
Fold-down tines (onsome models)provide
flexibility for extra-large and hard-to-fit items.
The tines mag be left in the up position or
folded down to customize the lower rack.

Caring for the dishwasher, gecom
Cleaning the Exterior Door Panel
Before cleaning the front panel, make
sure you know what type of panel you have.
Referto the last two letters of your model
number. Youcan locate your model number
on the left-hand tub walljust inside the door.
If your model number ends with BB,CC,WW,
SAor BG,then you have a Painted Door
panel. If your model number ends with SS,
then you have a StainlessSteelDoor panel. If
your model number ends with CS,then you
have a CleanSteelpanel.
Follow the instructions below for cleaning the
door panel for your specific model.
Pointed Door Panel (model numbers ending
in BB-block, CC-bisque,WW-White, SA-silver
metallic or BG-graphite black)
Use a clean, soft, lightly dampened cloth,
then dry thoroughly. Youmay also use a
good appliance wax or polish.
Stainless Steel Door Panel (model numbers
ending in SS)
The stainlesssteel panels can be cleaned
with StainlessSteelMagic or a similar product
using a clean, soft cloth. Do not use appliance
wax, polish,bleach or products containing
chlorine on StainlessSteeldoors.
Youcan order StainlessSteel Magic
#WXZOXZ5through GEParts by calling
800.626.2002.
CleonSteel Door Panel (model numbers
ending in CS)
Use a clean, soft, lightly dampened cloth,
then dry thoroughly. Do not use appliance
wax, polish or any chemical agent on
CleanSteel doors.
Do not wipe the dishwasher with a soiled
dish cloth or wet towel. Thesema_l leave
a residue. Do not use scouring pads or
powdered cleaners because these products
con scratch the finish.
Stainless Steel Interior-Tub and Inner Door
The stainlesssteel used to make the
dishwasher tub and inner door provides
the highest reliability available in a GE
dishwasher.If the dishwasher tub or inner
door should be scratched or dented during

Thesesurface blemishes will not affect
their function or durability.
Cleaning the Control Panel
To clean the control panel, use a lightly

Protect Against Freezing
If your dishwasher is left in an unheated
place during the winter, ask a service
technician to:
r_Cut off electrical power to the
dishwasher.Remove fuses or trip
circuit breaker.
[-_ Turn off the water supply and disconnect
the water inlet linefrom the water valve.
r_ Drain water from the water inlet line
and water valve. (Usea pan to catch
the water.)
F) Reconnectthe water inlet line to the
water valve.
Check the air gap any time
your dishwasher isn't draining
well.
Does Your Dishwasher Have an Air Gap?
An air gap protects your dishwasher
against water backing up into it if a drain
clogs. The air gap is not a part of the
dishwasher.It is not covered by your
warranty. Not all plumbing codes require
air gaps,so you may not have one.
The air gap is easg to cleon.
