How To Operate Your Dishwasher - GE GSD1300 Use And Care Manual

HOW TO OPERATE YOUR DISHWASHER

Your dishwasher is designed to give maximum
performance on loads with normal and heavy soils.
You may find that many of your dishes have lighter
soils than normal; if this is the case you can save
water and energy by selecting a cycle other than
NORMAL WASH.
NOTE:
The lights over the Cycle and Energy
Option pads come ON to indicate the cycle/option
that has been selected. Press pad firmly until the
light comes on. These Cycle and Energy Option
Indicator lights remain on while the door is latched.
CYCLE ON
The light will come on when the
dishwasher is in a Start Delay, Wash or Dry cycle.
The light will go out when all cycles are complete.
If dishwasher drains into a food waste disposal, operate
the disposal until it is empty before starting dishwasher.
