How To Operate Your Dishwasher - GE GSCl120 Use And Care Manual

HOW TO OPERATE YOUR DISHWASHER

STEP 1. Load your dishwasher with dishes, silverware,
pots, pans, bowls, etc., according to the Loading section.
STEP 2. Add detergent to the detergent dispenser.
Make sure the Cycle Indicator Dial is at OFF position
before adding detergent. (See Detergent Guide.)
Use rinse aid agent to help prevent spotting. Occasionally
check to insure that rinse agent container is at least half
full. (See How to Use a Rinse Agent section.)
STEP 3. Select drying option.
HEATED DRY. Turns the drying
heater on for fast drying.
ENERGY SAVER (No Heat Boost).
Turns the drying heater off to save
energy. Dishes will dry naturally
over a longer period such as overnight.
If you need your dishes sooner, open the dishwasher
door after the cycle is complete to reduce the natural
drying time.
NOTE: The ENERGY SAVER option will also cancel
the WASH HEAT BOOST. To obtain WASH HEAT
BOOST without HEATED DRY, select only the WASH
HEAT BOOST option. (See Energy-Saving Tips.)
STEP 4. WASH HEAT BOOST Option.
See How to Test Water Temperature section. '!%%!~AT
The entering water must be between 120°F.
and 140°F. Use the wash heat boost option
when water is less than 140°F.
When selected, the wash cycle will
be extended for 21 minutes while the
dishwasher heats the water for good washing and drying.
STEP 5. Select the wash cycle and start the dishwasher.
(See Cycle Selection Hints.)
If your dishwasher drains into a food waste disposer,
operate the disposer until it is empty before starting the
dishwasher.
