Using The Dishwasher - GE PDW7000 Series Owner's Manual

Using the dishwasher.

SmartDispense
This dishwasher may have a SmartDispense
which automatically dispenses liquid automatic
dishwasher detergent into each cycle based on soil
level and water hardness.
To utilize the SmartDispense
it must first be filled. Although any liquid or gel
automatic dishwashing detergent can be used in
the SmartDispense
automatic dishwashing detergents are not the same.
Most automatic dishwashing detergents are chlorine
bleach-based (such as Cascade
while others contain enzymes (such as Cascade
Complete ® ).
Do not mix any chlorine bleach-based automatic
dishwashing detergent with any dishwashing
detergent containing enzymes as this could cause
the detergents to congeal and lead to blockage of
the SmartDispense
label to determine if the detergent is chlorine
bleach-based or one that contains enzymes. It is
recommended that the same type of detergent be
used when refilling your SmartDispense
CAUTION!
powder detergent, tablets or any liquid soap or
detergent normally used for washing hands or
dishes in a sink. Only use liquid or gel detergent
specifically designed for use in an automatic
dishwasher.
