What To Do
•
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® Automatic
Dishwashing Detergent has
been approved for use in all
GE dishwashers.
•
To remove suds from the tub,
open the dishwasher and let
suds evaporate. Add 1 gallon
of cold water to the tub. Close
the door until it locks into
place. Pump out water by
pressing START/RESET, then
immediately press START/RESET
again. Repeat if necessary.
• Always wipe up rinse agent
spills immediately.
• Some detergents contain
colorant (pigment or dyes)
that will discolor the tub
interior with extended use.
Check the detergent cup
for signs of any discoloration.
If cup is discolored, change to
detergent without any colorant.

• Use of the RINSE ONLY cycle
(on some models) after adding
the dish to the load can
decrease the level of staining.
