WHAT TO DO
• Each pad must be touched within 30
seconds of the others. To relight, touch any
pad again, or unlatch and relatch door.
• This is normal.
• Make sure everything is secured in
dishwasher.
• Dishwasher has not been used on a regular
basis. If you do not use your dishwasher
often, run a RINSE ONLY cycle once every
week. This will help keep the seal moist.
• Reposition the dishes.
• A small amount of clean water around the
outlet on the tub bottom at the back of the
tub keeps the water seal lubricated.
• If you have an air gap, clean it.
• Check to see if your kitchen sink is
draining well. If not, you may need a plumber.
• If the dishwasher drains into a disposer,
run disposer clear.
• Use only automatic dishwasher detergents
to avoid sudsing. Cascade
Complete ® and Electrasol
detergents have been approved for use
in all Monogram dishwashers.
• To remove suds from the tub, open the
dishwasher and let suds dissipate. Touch START.
Let run for 30 seconds. Touch START again.
Dishwasher will pump out in 70 seconds.
Repeat if necessary.
• Always wipe up rinse agent spills
immediately.
• Use of the RINSE ONLY cycle after adding
the dish to the load can decrease the level
of staining.
• GE also recommends Cascade
Booster ™ to help remove these types of stains.
