Leak Protection (on some models)

If a leak is detected, the dishwasher will drain and the cycle will stop. The display will show "LEAK DETECTED". Contact Café for service.

1. Load Dishwasher
   For best dishwashing results, follow the loading guidelines found in the Loading. No pre-rinsing of normal food soil is required. Scrape off hard soils, including bones, toothpicks, skins, and seeds. Remove leafy vegetables, meat trimmings, and excessive amounts of grease or oil.
2. Add Detergent
   Add needed amount of detergent to the detergent dispenser. Use high quality detergents such as Cascade ® Platinum™ ActionPacs™ or Finish ® Quantum ® Automatic Dishwashing Detergent. See Dispensers.
3. Add Rinse Agent
   Add high quality rinse agents such as Cascade ® Platinum™ Power Dry™ Rinse Aid or Finish ® Jet-Dry ® Rinse Aid to the rinse agent dispenser. See Dispensers.
   NOTE: The use of rinse aid can further enhance the dishwasher's drying performance.
4. Select Cycle
   Press the furthest most pad on the left (on some models) for the desired wash cycle. On some models, the light next to the furthest most pad on the left (on some models) will be on to indicate which wash cycle has been selected. On other models, pressing the Select Cycle pad will show various cycles in the display window. Press the pad until the desired cycle is shown.
   NOTE: Actual cycle times vary based on soil level, water temperature, and options selected. The cycle may be selected with the door in the open position. The cycle will not start until the Start pad is pushed and the door is closed within 4 seconds.

*Washing time only. Does not include drying time, Auto Hot Start, or options.

Dispensers

Check the Water Temperature

The entering water should be at least 120°F (49°C) and not more than 150°F (66°C) for effective cleaning and to prevent dish damage. Check the water temperature with a candy or meat thermometer.
Turn on the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher, place the thermometer in a glass and let the water run continuously into the glass until the temperature stops rising.

Use a Rinse Agent

High quality rinse agents such as Cascade ® Platinum™ Power Dry™ Rinse Aid or Finish ® Jet-Dry ® Rinse Aid are designed for great drying action and to protect against spots and film build-up on your dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware, and plastic.

Filling the Rinse Agent Dispenser

The rinse agent dispenser holds 3.5 oz. (104 ml) of rinse agent. Under normal conditions, this will last approximately one month.

1. Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.
2. Open the rinse agent dispenser door.
3. Slowly add rinse agent until the cup is full. You may need to pause several times to allow rinse aid to settle.
   NOTE: Indicator window does not light up.
   
4. Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a damp cloth to prevent foam from forming inside the dishwasher.
5. Close the rinse agent dispenser door.

Rinse Aid Setting

The amount of rinse agent released into the final wash can be adjusted. If water drops or hard water spots remain on dishes after the dry cycle, increase the setting.

To adjust the setting

Open the Rinse Agent dispenser door; then turn the adjuster clockwise to increase the amount of rinse agent, counterclockwise to reduce the amount of rinse agent.

Detergent Dispenser

The detergent dispenser is located in the center of the dishwasher door. It has two compartments. The main wash compartment is found inside the detergent dispenser. To open, press the button on the side of the dispenser. The pre-wash compartment is on the lid of the detergent dispenser. Use the pre-wash compartment only when your water is extremely hard or when you have a heavy soiled load. The pre-wash compartment is not used when tablet or packet detergents are used.

NOTE: Do not block detergent dispenser with large or tall dishware.

You may use tablet, packet, powder, liquid or gel automatic dishwasher detergent. Make sure you use only detergents specifically labeled for use in automatic dishwashers. Never use liquid hand dish detergent in an automatic dishwasher. Sudsing and poor wash performance will result with the use of improper detergents.

Detergents should be stored in a dry location and in their original container to prevent loss of effectiveness. Place detergent in the cup just prior to starting the dishwasher and then close the cover. The cover will open during the wash cycle.

Filling the Detergent Dispenser

Café recommends using high quality detergent in tablet or packet form. Independent testing has shown this form of detergent is very effective in the dishwasher. Cascade^® Platinum™ ActionPacs™ or Finish^® Quantum^® Powerball^® are examples of this type of detergent. However, some single dose detergents are not designed for shorter cycles. If you experience wash-out issues with these tablets or packets, follow the instructions below:

Rinsing cycles - DO NOT use detergents. (These cycles are designed for rinsing dishes only, not soil removal.)

Washing cycles less than 60 minutes (not including additional dry or wash options) - Put a tablet or packet into the pre-wash compartment of the detergent cup, or in the bottom of the dishwasher. (These cycles are designed to be shorter which could result in bad detergent wash-out if the detergent is placed in the main wash compartment of the detergent cup. Wash performance will be diminished as a result.)

Washing cycles 60 minutes or longer (not including additional dry or wash options) - Put a tablet or packet into the main wash compartment of the detergent cup and close the detergent cup cover. (These cycles are designed for tougher soils and will likely have more fills/drains than the shorter cycles. If the tablet or packet is placed in the pre-wash compartment or tossed in the bottom of the dishwasher, the detergent will be flushed down the drain in a very short period of time and will thus be wasted. Wash performance will be very poor as a result.)

If you choose to use detergent in powder, liquid or gel form, the amount of detergent you use will be determined by the hardness of your water, the temperature of your water, and the food soil load inside the dishwasher. Contact your water company to get information about the hardness of the water in your area. Water hardness is measured in grains per gallon. Use this information and the table above to determine the amount of detergent to use. You may purchase a hard water test strip from GE Appliances. Call 877-959-8688 and ask for part number WD01X10295. In Canada, call 800-661-1616.

Use the table as a starting point and then adjust the amount of detergent you use. Use just enough to get good wash performance. Using just the right amount of detergent will provide great wash performance without wasting detergent or etching glassware.

Using too much detergent with very soft and/or very hot water may cause a condition called etching on your glassware. Etching is a permanent cloudiness in your glassware. This condition is irreversible. However, using too little detergent will cause poor wash performance.

DO NOT USE HAND DISH DETERGENT

NOTE: Using a detergent that is not specifically designed for dishwashers will cause the dishwasher to fill with suds. During operation, these suds will spill out of the dishwasher vents, covering the kitchen floor and making the floor wet.
Because so many detergent containers look alike, store the dishwasher detergent in a separate space from all other cleaners. Show anyone who may use the dishwasher the correct detergent and where it is stored.
While there will be no lasting damage to the dishwasher, your dishes will not get clean using a dishwashing detergent that is not formulated for automatic dishwashers.

Labelling: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Loading

For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and silverware baskets may vary from your model.

Upper Rack

The upper rack is primarily for glasses, cups, and saucers. For best wash performance, tilt cup and glass openings toward the center of the rack. Other items such as pots, pans, and plates may be placed in the upper rack. This is also a secure place for dishwasher-safe plastic items. The upper rack can be used for odd sized utensils. Sauce pans, mixing bowls, and other similarly shaped items should be placed face down for best wash performance. Ensure small plastic items are secure so that they cannot fall on the heater at the bottom of the dishwasher, potentially damaging the item. Some models are equipped with a hidden heater, so dishwasher safe plastic items can be placed in the lower rack.

Ensure items in the upper rack do not interfere with the 3rd Rack (on some models) when loading and unloading.

Ensure that items do not protrude through the bottom of the rack or silverware basket where they will block the rotation of the middle spray arm. This could result in noise during operation and/or poor wash performance.

The Bottle Jets system (on some models) is the ideal location to position baby bottles, tall sports bottles, or other tall items with narrow openings. The Bottle Jets clips hold bottles with small openings in place so water jets are directed inside the bottles to clean hard to reach areas. Clips can be installed or removed by simply slipping the clip opening over the top of the nozzle.

A loaded upper rack may be heavier than anticipated. To prevent minor injury or damage to the contents, do not raise or lower the upper rack after the rack is loaded.

On some models, the upper rack allows 2" of adjustment up or down to accommodate larger items. The upper rack may be lowered by pushing the long flaps on each side of the rack. This will allow you to lower the rack. To raise the rack, lift up on the rack until the rack locks in place.

On some models, the upper rack may be adjusted to accommodate larger items. To adjust the upper rack, fully extend the upper rack and lift the front of the rack so that the rack roller wheels clear the end hooks on the front of the rails. Continue to pull the rack until the remaining rack roller wheels clear the end hook. Select the set of rollers on the side of the rack that provides the desired height, and reinstall the upper rack by aligning the rack roller wheels on the end hook and rack rails – Ensure that there are roller wheels above and below the rack rails. Failure to properly align the wheels onto the end hook and rails may result in the rack falling from the dishwasher.

To add flexibility in loading, the stem safe shelf (on some models) may be placed in the up or down position or unfolded and placed in the lower unfolded position.
The shelf may also be used to secure stemware such as wine glasses. Because these stemware items come in various sizes, slowly push the rack in to ensure the items do not bump into the edges of the dishwasher, which may cause damage to the items.

The fold down tines (on some models) provide flexibility for extra-large and hard-to-fit items. The tine rows can be adjusted to a vertical or lay-down position.

For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and silverware baskets may vary from your model.

For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and silverware baskets may vary from your model.

Lower Rack

The lower rack is best used for plates, saucers and cookware items. Large items, such as broiler pans and baking racks should be placed along the sides of the rack. If necessary, oversized glasses and mugs can be placed in the lower rack to maximize loading flexibility. Plates, saucers and similar items should be placed between the tines in the direction that allows the item to remain secure in the rack.

NOTE: Do not load large items in the lower rack where they may block the wash jets from rinsing out the detergent dispenser.

The lower rack fold down tines (on some models) can be adjusted to different flexibility for hard-to-fit or extra-large items.

The reversible tine blocks (on some models) are designed to allow greater flexibility in loading dishes. The direction of the tine blocks can be changed to match your preferred loading direction as shown in Figure A or Figure B:

To adjust the tine block direction, remove the clips securing the tine blocks to the racks by pulling up on the tab, then gently flex the retaining wire from the center to unseat the tine block from the lower rack. The tine block may be turned in the opposite direction to reverse loading direction. Secure the tine block to the rack using the same process and be sure to snap the clips back in place.

The clips can be a choke hazard for small children if removed from the dishwasher. Keep out of reach of children.

To change the direction of the fold down tines, lower the tines, then pull away from the bar clips that secure the tines to the rack and remove. Reverse the direction of the tines, orienting the handle on the opposite side of the rack. Reattach the tines to the bar clips by pushing the tines back until they click in place. The indexer will also need to be switched to the opposite side of the dishwasher. To remove the indexer, simply slide it the in the direction labeled "unlock." Then, align the indexer with the rack on the other side and slide in the direction that says "lock" in order to reattach the indexer to the rack.

It is important to ensure that items do not protrude through the bottom of the rack or the silverware basket where they will block the rotation of the lower spray arm. Also, ensure that large plates, pots, or tall items don't hit the mid spray arm. This could result in noise during operation and/or poor wash performance.

3rd Rack (on some models)

The 3rd rack is the recommended location for silverware and large utensils

Take care when loading, unloading, or transporting the silverware or utensil tray. The tray may contain sharp or heavy items. If items are dropped from the tray or the tray is dropped, injury could occur.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• Do not allow cutlery of different materials to touch each other in the 3rd rack. Doing so may cause discoloration of the cutlery.
• The tray is only meant to be used with a Café 3rd rack dishwasher to hold silverware, cooking utensils, and other small items. Using the tray for any other purpose could result in damage to the tray or damage to anything interacting with the tray.
• Ensure that the 3rd rack is fully closed before shutting the dishwasher door. Shutting the door with the rack partially extended could cause damage to the dishwasher.

The 3rd rack is also removable to allow extra large items to be placed in the upper rack:

To remove the 3rd rack:

1. With the rack fully extended, lift the front of the rack so that the rack roller wheels clear the retaining hook.
2. Continue to pull the rack until the remaining rack roller wheels clear the retaining hook.
3. Replace the rack by aligning the rack roller wheels on the retaining hook and rack rails – Ensure all roller wheels are located on top of the rack rails.

Silverware/flatware is loaded using the silverware basket lids. This ensures great wash performance of the silverware. Loading in this manner prevents nesting and makes sure all items are washed uniformly.

Silverware Basket

Place flatware in the removable silverware baskets. Sharp objects, such as forks and knives, may be placed with the handles facing up, in order to protect your hands. For the best wash performance, place other items such as spoons with the handles facing down. Avoid allowing items to nest together, which may keep them from being properly washed.
When loading, distribute items evenly in the basket.

The silverware baskets may also be used for small items, such as measuring spoons, baby bottle nipples, plastic lids, or corn cob holders. The silverware basket covers can be closed to contain small items.

Do not load large or tall utensils where they may block the detergent dispenser, mid spray arm, or become trapped between the door and the gasket when the door is closed.

Deep Clean Silverware Jets (on some models)

Deep Clean Silverware Jets target stubborn, stuck-on food and help separate nested spoons and forks to keep your silverware spotless no matter how you load the silverware. For optimal silverware cleaning, the use of silverware basket lids is always recommended. For models with the third rack, the Deep Clean Silverware Jets can also be used to clean mixing bowls and other cookware.
Do not remove Deep Clean Silverware Jet spray assembly from the dishwasher rack.

Care and Cleaning

Control Panel

To clean the control panel, use a lightly dampened cloth. Then dry thoroughly.

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 D1 or W2 then you have a painted door panel. If your model number ends with S1 or SS, then you have 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 D1–Matte Black or W2–Matte White)
Use a clean, soft, lightly dampened cloth, then dry thoroughly.

Stainless Steel Door Panel (model numbers ending in S1 or 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.

Glass Door Panel - Use window cleaner for cleaning, then let dry thoroughly.

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 Café by visiting cafeappliances.com/parts. In Canada, visit cafeappliances.ca.

Dishwasher Interior

To clean and de-odorize your dishwasher, use citric acid, or Cascade ® Platinum™ Dishwasher Cleaner or Finish ® Dishwasher Cleaner, a detergent additive. They will break up mineral deposits, and remove hard water film and stains. You can order citric acid Café kit WD35X151 through Café Parts by visiting cafeappliances.com/parts. In Canada, visit cafeappliances.ca. You can purchase dishwasher cleaners at your local grocery store.

Stainless Steel Inner Door and Tub

The stainless steel used to make the dishwasher tub and inner door provides the highest reliability available in a Café dishwasher.
If the dishwasher tub or inner door should be scratched or dented during normal use, they will not rust or corrode. These surface blemishes will not affect their function or durability.

Filters

Inspect and clean the filters periodically. This should be done every other month or more 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.

Ultra-Fine Filter Assembly

To clean the Ultra-Fine Filter assembly, remove the bottom rack. Twist the Ultra-Fine Filter assembly counterclockwise and lift to remove for cleaning. Rinse filter with warm soapy water and use a sponge to carefully remove any stubborn particles. For models with a 2-piece Ultra-Fine Filter assembly with an additional Filter Basket for food particles, twist the Filter Basket in the counterclockwise direction to unlock it from the Ultra-Fine Filter assembly. See directional arrows on the bottom of the Filter Basket. Pull the Filter Basket to remove from the assembly, throw away any food particles, rinse with warm soapy water, and use a sponge to remove any stubborn particles.

2-piece - Ultra-fine Filter assembly with additional Filter Basket (on some models)

Once cleaned, replace Filter Basket back into the Ultra-Fine Filter assembly and twist it clockwise to lock into place.

Fine Filter

To clean the Fine Filter (mesh plate), remove the bottom rack. Remove the Ultra-Fine Filter. Lift the Fine Filter up and out from under the two rear retaining tabs. 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 making sure it goes under the two rear retaining tabs. Replace the Ultra-Fine Filter.

Protect Against Freezing
If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place during the winter, ask a service technician to:

1. Turn off electrical power to the dishwasher. Remove fuses or trip circuit breaker.
2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet line from the water valve.
3. Drain water from the water inlet line and water valve. (Use a pan to catch the water.)
4. Reconnect the water inlet line to the water valve.

Does Your Dishwasher Have an Air Gap?
An air gap protects your dishwasher against water backing up into it if a drain clogs. The air gap is not a part of the dishwasher. It is not covered by your warranty. Not all plumbing codes require air gaps, so you may not have one.

The air gap is easy to clean.

1. Turn off the dishwasher and lift off the air gap cover.
2. Remove the plastic cap under the cover and clean with a toothpick.
3. Replace the cap and cover when the air gap is clean.
