Proper Use of Detergent
Use only detergent specifically made for use in
dishwashers. Cascade

Automatic Dishwashing Detergents have
been approved for
use in all GE dishwashers. Keep
your detergent fresh and dry. Don’t put powder
detergent into the dispenser until you’re ready to
wash dishes.
The amount of detergent to use depends on
whether your water is
hard
or
soft
. With hard water,
you need extra detergent. With soft water, you
need less detergent.
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 valve, which could
stick while open and cause flooding. Too much
detergent with soft water can cause a permanent
cloudiness of glassware, called
etching
.
You’ll find two detergent dispensers on the inside
door of your dishwasher. All wash cycles–except
RINSE ONLY
–require detergent in the main cup.
Wash cycles
with two washes will also use the open
cup. When
using automatic dishwashing detergent
tabs, simply place one tab in the main cup and
close.
NOTE:
To open detergent cup after it has been
closed, unlatch the door. Press the
START/RESET
pad three times within two seconds and the
detergent cup will release. A snapping sound
may be heard.
