Energy-saving tips
Before using your dishwasher,
read this book carefully.
If you received
a damaged dishwasher...
It is intended to help you operate
and maintain your new dishwasher
properly.
Immediately contact the dealer
(or builder) that sold you the
dishwasher.
Keep it handy for answers to your
questions.
If you don't understand something
or need more help, write (include
your phone number):
Consumer Affairs
GE Appliances
Appliance Park
Louisville, KY 40225
The power consumption of your
dishwasher can be minimized if
you follow these suggestions:
Save time and money.
Before you call for
service...
Check the Problem Solver (pages
18-20). It lists causes of minor
operating problems that you can
correct yourself.
* Operate the dishwasher only
when it's full. Let the dishes
accumulate in the dishwasher.
When you put in only a partial
load, use the RINSE & HOLD
Cycle to rinse off heavy soils. Be
sure to latch the door when waiting
for a full load. This helps to keep
soils moist, easier to remove.
Always select the cycle that uses
the least amount of water that
will remove the soil from the load.
See page 11.
Write down the model
and serial numbers.
* Select the SOIL LEVEL that will
remove soil from load.
You'll find them on a label just
inside the dishwasher door.
o If you don't need your dishes
right away, use your ENERGY
SAVER DRYING that turns the
drying heater off automatically.
Dishes dry naturally over a longer
period such as overnight.
These numbers are also on the
Consumer Product Ownership
Registration Card that came with
your dishwasher. Before sending
in this card, please write these
numbers here:
* Watch the SYSTEMS MONITOR
for more ideas. See page 7.

is for items
such as pots, pans and casseroles.
Everyday dishes may be included.
e NORMAL
WASH is for loads of
everyday dishes with medium soils.
Designed to yield high performance
on normal loads.
o SHORT WASH is for most loads
of everyday dishes with light soils
or soils that have not dried on. It
saves hot water over the higher
performance cycles, thus saving
energy. Pre-rinse dishware before
loading.
CHINA-CRYSTAL

how long the cycle will take. If
you're satisfied, just touch the
START pad.
If you wish to make program
changes, start with the soil level.
You should select a change within
30 seconds, otherwise all panel
lights will go out. To relight, touch
any pad or open and re-close door.
• MEDIUM is automatically
programmed when a cycle is
selected. You may want to change
the selection depending on the soil

soiled or extra greasy. This gives
dishes an extra rinse in every cycle
except RINSE & HOLD. This
lengthens cycle.

BLOCKED
WASH ARM
BLOCKED
DRAIN
An obstruction is preventing the
lower wash arm from turning.
This is usually caused by a utensil
sticking through the bottom of the
silverware basket or a pot handle
through the lower rack.
The dishwasher is taking longer
than normal to drain the water
out. This is usually caused by a
blockage in the drain air gap (see
page 21), a kink in the drain hose,
or a stopped up drain pipe.
1. Unlatch door.
2. Check the lower rack for any item that could block the
wash arm and reposition it.
3. Relatch door.
NOTE:
If the wash arm is not blocked and "BLOCKED WASH
ARM" display still appears, you may start wash cycle by
pressing START pad a second time.
This dishwasher is designed to automatically compensate
for longer than normal drain times, but cycle time will be
extended. If this code continues to appear frequently then:
1. Clean the air gap (see page 21).
2. Check for a kink in the drain hose.
3. Check plumbing for slow or stopped up drains.
(NOTE: Warranty service does not cover household
drain problems.)

MEANS
WHAT
TO DO
Locate and remove the blockage in the drain system as
explained on page 8. To pump any remaining water out of
the machine:
1. Latch door.
2. Select any cycle.
3. Touch "START" and then immediately touch "CLEAR/
RESET." (NOTE: Warranty service does not cover
household drain problems.)
Dishwasher will not go into
a drain out period. Dishwasher
will stop.
Restart the cycle. If C3 repeats, call for service.
There is too much water in the
dishwasher. If C4 appears after a
power failure, this is normal and
the dishwasher will correct itself.
The dishwasher is designed to automatically pump out extra
water as long as the door is latched. When you hear the
motor stop running:
1. Unlatch the door and see if all the water is gone. (It is
normal for a small anaount of water to remain in the
bottom of tub to keep the water seal lubricated.)
2. If you see water entering the dishwasher, close and latch
the door. Shut off the water supply to the dishwasher.
3. If water is gone and no water is entering the dishwasher,
restart cycle.
4. If C4 repeats, shut off the water supply to the dishwasher.
Call for service.
This can be caused by either of
these reasons:
Not enough water is entering the
dishwasher.
Unlatch the door. If there is no water in the bottom of the
dishwasher, check the water supply to the dishwasher.
• Is the dishwasher water supply turned on?

Unlatch the door. If there is standing water in the bottom

immediately touch "CLEAR!RESET"

If C5 continues to appear, you may need to do this several
times to break up the blockage.
