Cleaning the 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 walljust inside the door.
If your model number ends with BB,CC,WW,
SA or BG,then you have a Painted Door
panel. If your model number ends with SS,
then you have a StainlessSteelDoor panel. If
your model number ends with CS,then you
have a CleanSteelpanel.
Follow the instructions below for cleaning the
door panel for your specific model.
Pointed Door Panel (model numbers ending
in BB-block, CC-bisque,WW-White, SA-silver
metallic or BG-graphite black)
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

The stainless steel panels can be cleaned
with StainlessSteelMagic or a similar product
using a clean, soft cloth. Do not use appliance
wax, polish, bleach or products containing

dish cloth or wet towel. These ma_l leave
a residue. Do not use scouring pads or
powdered cleaners because these products
con scratch the finish.
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 should be scratched or dented during
normal use,they will not rust or corrode.
These surface blemishes will not affect
their function or durability.
Cleaning the Control Panel

dampened cloth. Then dry thoroughly.
Protect Against Freezing
If your dishwasher is left in an unheated
place during the winter, ask a service
technician to:
r_Cut off electrical power to the
dishwasher. Remove fuses or trip
circuit breaker.
[-_ Turn off the water supply and disconnect
the water inlet line from the water valve.
r_ Drain water from the water inlet line
and water valve. (Usea pan to catch
the water.)
F) Reconnect the water inlet line to the
water valve.
Check the air gap any time
your dishwasher isn't draining
well.
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 easg to cleon.
