Use and Care Manual

Cleaning the Exterior Door Panel
Before cleaning the front panel, make sure you know what type of panel
you have. Refer to the last two letters of your model number. You can
locate your model number on the left-hand tub wall just inside the door.
If your model number ends with BB, CC, WW, SA or ES then you have a
painted door panel. If your model number ends with SS, then you have a
Stainless Steel door panel. If your model number ends with II, then you have
an Integrated door panel.
Follow the instructions below for cleaning the door panel for your specific
model.
Painted Door Panel (model numbers ending in BB–black, CC–bisque,
WW–white, SA-silver or ES-slate)
Use a clean, soft, lightly dampened cloth, then dry thoroughly.
Stainless Steel Door Panel (model numbers ending in SS)
For cleaning rust and tarnish, cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar
Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser™ will remove rust, tarnish and small
blemishes. Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit and rub in the direction
of the brush lines with a damp soft sponge. Do not use appliance wax or
polish on the stainless steel.
For other blemishes and marks, use Stainless Steel Magic or a similar product
using a clean soft cloth. Do not use appliance wax, polish, bleach or products
containing chlorine on Stainless Steel. You can order Stainless Steel Magic
#WX10X29 through
GE Parts by calling 877.959.8688. In Canada, call
1-800-661-1616.
Integrated Door Panel (model numbers ending in II)
This is a custom installed door panel, and you will need to refer to the
cabinet manufacturers recommendations for proper cleaning.

Inspect and clean the filters periodically. This should be done every other month or so depending on usage. If there is a decrease in wash performance or dishes
feel gritty, this is also an indication the filters need to be cleaned.
Cleaning the Filters
Ultra-Fine Filter
To clean the Ultra-Fine Filter, remove the bottom rack. Twist
counterclockwise and remove the Ultra-Fine Filter. Rinse
filter with warm soapy water and use a sponge to carefully
remove any stubborn particles. Scrubbing with scouring
pads or brushes can damage the filter. Once cleaned,
replace the Ultra-Fine Filter, and twist clockwise to lock in
place.
Fine Filter
To clean the Fine Filter (mesh plate), remove the bottom rack.
Remove the Ultra-Fine Filter.
Twist counterclockwise each of the two retaining posts
located toward the back bottom of the tub, and remove the
Fine Filter. Rinse filter with warm soapy water. Scouring pads
or brushes can scratch the filter surface but a soft brush or
sponge may be needed to remove stubborn soils or calcium
deposits caused by hard water. Once cleaned, replace the
Fine Filter, the Ultra-Fine Filter, and twist clockwise the two
retaining posts into place.
Inspectez et nettoyez les filtres régulièrement. Nous recommandons de le faire tous les deux mois environ, selon l’usage. Le besoin de nettoyer les
filtres se remarque par une performance moindre de lavage ou lorsque la vaisselle semble rugueuse.

WARNING!
WATER HEATER SAFETY
WARNING!
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two or more weeks. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.
If the hot water has not been used for two or more weeks, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning on all hot water faucets and allowing
them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical appliance connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will allow any
built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke, use an open flame, or use the appliance during this process.
 Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this
Owner’s Manual.
 Use only detergents or wetting agents recommended
for use in a dishwasher and keep them out of reach
of children. Using a detergent that is not specifically
designed for dishwashers will cause the dishwasher
to fill with suds.
 Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal.
 Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type
injuries.
 Do not wash plastic items unless marked dishwasher safe or the
equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
 Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.
 Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are
properly in place.
 Do not tamper with controls.
 Do not abuse, sit on or stand on the door or dish rack of the dishwasher.
 To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play with, on or inside
this appliance at any time.
 Do not store or use combustible materials including gasoline or other
flammable liquids or vapors in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
 Small parts, such as rack clips and filter retaining posts, can be a choke
hazard to small children if removed from the dishwasher. Keep out of
reach of small children.
WARNING!
When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:
PROPER INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
This dishwasher must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used. If you did not receive an Installation
