What To do
• Use only automatic dishwasher detergents to avoid sudsing. Cascade
Automatic Dishwashing Detergents have been approved for use in all
GE dishwashers.
• To remove suds from the tub, open the dishwasher and let suds dissipate.
Close and latch the dishwasher. Pump out water by touching the
STArT/rESET pad once; then 30 seconds later, touch the
STArT/rESET pad again. Repeat if necessary.
• Always wipe up rinse agent spills immediately.
• Use SmartDispense
dispenser

flush the detergent cup or the outlet on the SmartDispense
outlet See the loading the dishwasher section.

SmartDispense
the cap fully to prevent water from entering the dispenser.
• Remove marks with a mild, abrasive cleaner.
• Make sure inlet water temperature is at least 120°F.
• Select HEATEd dry.
• Use HOT STArT, HOT WASH or AddEd HEAT options.
• Select a higher cycle, such as AnTI-bACTErIA, SAnI WASH or pOTS & pAnS.
• Check the rinse agent dispenser and fill as required.
• Make sure the door is firmly closed.
• Make sure water valve (usually located under the sink) is turned on.
