Using The Dishwasher; Dish Preparation Prior To Loading - GE Max Profile Use And Care Manual

HOW TO OPERATE YOUR DISHWASHER

Using the dishwasher

Dish Preparation Prior to Loading

• No pre-rinsing of normal food soil is
required.
• Scrape off hard soils, including bones,
toothpicks, skins and seeds.
• Remove large quantites of any remaining
foods.
Using the Dishwasher Door
1. The door must be closed to select a LOAD SELECTION or an ENHANCEMENT.
2. If the door is opened during a cycle and left open, the dishwasher will beep once every
minute until the door is closed.
Proper Use of Detergtent
Use only detergent specifically made for use
in dishwashers. Electrasol
Dishwashing Detergent has been approved
for use in all GE dishwashers. Keep your
detergent fresh and dry. Don't put detegent
into the dispenser until you're ready to wash
dishes.
All wash cycles except RINSE ONLY
require detergent in the main and pre-wash
cup. The amount of detergent to use depends
on whether your water is hard or soft. With
hard water, fill the main wash section and
pre-wash section completely. With soft
water, fill both sections halfway. When using
automatic dishwashing detergent tabs, simply
place one tab in the main wash section and
close.
Protect your dishes and dishwasher by
contacting your water department and asking
how hard your water is. Twelve or more
grains is extremely hard water. A water
softener is recommended. Without it, lime
can build up in the water vlave, which could
stick while open and cause flooding. Too
much detergent with soft water can cause a
permanent cloudiness of glassware, called
etching.
Forgot to Add a Dish?
A forgotten dish can be added anytime
before the main wash.
1. Squeeze the door latch to release the door.
2. Do not open the door until the water spray
action stops. Steam may rise out of the
dishwasher.
3. Add forgotten dishes.
4. Close the door.
