Cleaning the Exterior
Cleaning the Door Panel
Before cleaning the front panel, make
sure you know what type of panel you
hove. Refer to the last two letters of your
model number. You con locate your model
number on the left-hand tub wall just
inside the door. If your model number ends
with BB or WW, then you hove a Pointed
Door panel. If your model number ends
with SS,then you hove a Stainless Steel
Door panel.
Follow the instructions below for cleaning
the door panel for your specific model.
Painted Door Panel (model numbers
ending in BB-black or WW-white)
Use a clean, soft, lightly dampened cloth,
then dry thoroughly. You may also use a
good appliance wax or polish.
Stainless Steel Door Panel (model
numbers ending in SS)
The stainless steel panels can be cleaned
with 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 doors.
You can order Stainless Steel Magic
#WX10X15 through GE Parts by calling
800.626.2002.
Do not wipe the dishwasher with a soiled
dish cloth or wet towel. These mag leave
a residue. Do not use scouring pads or
powdered cleaners because these products
can scratch the finish.
Cleaning the Control Panel
To clean the control panel, use a lightly
dampened cloth; then dry thoroughly. Do
not use sharp objects, scouring pads or
harsh cleaners on the control panel.
Stainless Steel Interior Tub and
Inner Door
The stainless steel 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 is ever scrached or dented during
during normal use, they will not rust or
corrode. These surface blemishes will not
affect their function or durability.
Cleaning the Sprag Arms and the Filters
The dishwasher will flush away all normal food soils. However, objects (fruit pits, bones, etc.) may collect in
openings and should be removed occasionally to avoid clogging the drain system.
CAUTION
Personal injurg hazard. Before cleaning the interior, wait at least 20 minutes after a cgcle for the heating
element to cool down. Failure to do so could result in burn injuries.
