SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING
WATER HEATER SAFETY
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two or more weeks.
HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.
If the hot water has not been used for two or more weeks, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning
on all hot water faucets and allowing them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical
appliance connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will allow any built-up hydrogen gas to
escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke, use an open flame, or use the appliance during this process.

USING THE DISHWASHER
Check the Water Temperature
The entering water should be at least 120°F (49°C) and
not more than 150°F (66°C) for effective cleaning and to
prevent dish damage. Check the water temperature with a
candy or meat thermometer.
Turn on the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher,
place the thermometer in a glass and let the water run
continuously into the glass until the temperature stops
rising.
Use a Rinse Agent
Rinse agents, such as Finish
®
Jet-Dry
®
Rinse Aid are designed for great drying action and to protect against spots
and film build-up on your dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware, and plastic.
Filling the Rinse Agent Dispenser
The rinse agent dispenser holds 3.5 oz. (104 ml) of rinse agent. Under normal conditions, this will last approximately
one month.
1
Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.
2
Open the rinse agent dispenser door.
3
Slowly add rinse agent until the cup is full. You may need to pause several times to
allow rinse aid to settle. NOTE: Indicator window does not light up.
4
Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a damp cloth to prevent foam from forming
inside the dishwasher.
5
Close the rinse agent dispenser door.
Rinse Aid Setting

USING THE DISHWASHER
Dispensers
Detergent Dispenser
The detergent dispenser is located in the center of
the dishwasher door. It has two compartments. The
main wash compartment is found inside the detergent
dispenser. To open, press the button on the side of the
dispenser. The pre-wash compartment is on the lid of
the detergent dispenser. Use the pre-wash compartment
only when your water is extremely hard or when you
have a heavy soiled load. The pre-wash compartment is
not used when tablet or packet detergents are used.
NOTE: Do not block detergent dispenser with large or
tall dishware.
You may use tablet, packet, powder, liquid or gel automatic
dishwasher detergent. Make sure you use only detergents
specifically labeled for use in automatic dishwashers. Never
use liquid hand dish detergent in an automatic dishwasher.
Sudsing and poor wash performance will result with the use
of improper detergents.
Detergents should be stored in a dry location and in their
original container to prevent loss of effectiveness. Place
detergent in the cup just prior to starting the dishwasher
and then close the cover. The cover will open during the
wash cycle.
Filling the Detergent Dispenser
Cafe Appliances recommends using detergent in tablet
or packet form. Independent testing has shown this form
of detergent is very effective in the dishwasher. Finish
®
Quantum
®
Powerball
®
is an example of this type of
detergent. However, some single dose detergents
are not designed for shorter cycles. If you experience
wash-out issues with these tablets or packets, follow the
instructions below:
Rinsing cycles - DO NOT use detergents. (These cycles
are designed for rinsing dishes only, not soil removal.)
Washing cycles less than 60 minutes (not including
additional dry or wash options) - Put a tablet or
packet into the pre-wash compartment of the detergent
cup, or in the bottom of the dishwasher. (These cycles
are designed to be shorter which could result in bad
detergent wash-out if the detergent is placed in the
main wash compartment of the detergent cup. Wash
performance will be diminished as a result.)
Washing cycles 60 minutes or longer (not including
additional dry or wash options) - Put a tablet or packet
into the main wash compartment of the detergent cup and
close the detergent cup cover. (These cycles are designed
for tougher soils and will likely have more fills/drains than
the shorter cycles. If the tablet or packet is placed in the
pre-wash compartment or tossed in the bottom of the
dishwasher, the detergent will be flushed down the drain
in a very short period of time and will thus be wasted.
Wash performance will be very poor as a result.)
If you choose to use detergent in powder, liquid or gel
form, the amount of detergent you use will be determined
by the hardness of your water, the temperature of your
water, and the food soil load inside the dishwasher.
Contact your water company to get information about the
hardness of the water in your area. Water hardness is
measured in grains per gallon. Use this information and
the table above to determine the amount of detergent to
use. You may purchase a hard water test strip from
GE Appliances. Call 877-959-8688 and ask for part
number WD01X10295. In Canada, call 800-661-1616.
Use the table as a starting point and then adjust the
amount of detergent you use. Use just enough to get
good wash performance. Using just the right amount of
detergent will provide great wash performance without
wasting detergent or etching glassware.
Using too much detergent with very soft and/or very
hot water may cause a condition called etching on your
glassware. Etching is a permanent cloudiness in your
glassware. This condition is irreversible. However, using
too little detergent will cause poor wash performance.
DO NOT USE HAND DISH DETERGENT
NOTE: Using a detergent that is not specifically designed
for dishwashers will cause the dishwasher to fill with suds.
During operation, these suds will spill out of the dishwasher
vents, covering the kitchen floor and making the floor wet.
Because so many detergent containers look alike,
store the dishwasher detergent in a separate space
from all other cleaners. Show anyone who may use the
dishwasher the correct detergent and where it is stored.
While there will be no lasting damage to the dishwasher,
your dishes will not get clean using a dishwashing
detergent that is not formulated for automatic dishwashers.

Upper Rack
The upper rack is primarily for glasses, cups, and
saucers. For best wash performance, tilt cup and glass
openings toward the center of the rack. Other items such
as pots, pans, and plates may be placed in the upper
rack. This is also a secure place for dishwasher-safe
plastic items. The upper rack can be used for odd sized
utensils. Sauce pans, mixing bowls, and other similarly
shaped items should be placed face down for best wash
performance. Ensure small plastic items are secure so
that they cannot fall on the heater at the bottom of the
dishwasher, potentially damaging the item. Some models
are equipped with a hidden heater, so dishwasher safe
plastic items can be placed in the lower rack.
IMPORTANT: Ensure items in the upper rack do not
interfere with the 3rd Rack (on some models) when
loading and unloading.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that items do not protrude through
the bottom of the rack or silverware basket where they
will block the rotation of the middle spray arm. This
could result in noise during operation and/or poor wash
performance.
The Bottle Jets system (on some models) is the ideal
location to position baby bottles, tall sports bottles, or
other tall items with narrow openings. The Bottle Jets
clips hold bottles with small openings in place so water
jets are directed inside the bottles to clean hard to reach
areas. Clips can be installed or removed by simply
slipping the clip opening over the top of the nozzle.

To add flexibility in loading, the stem safe shelf (on some
models) may be placed in the up or down position or
unfolded and placed in the lower unfolded position.
The shelf may also be used to secure stemware such as
wine glasses. Because these stemware items come in
various sizes, slowly push the rack in to ensure the items
do not bump into the edges of the dishwasher, which
may cause damage to the items.

Lower Rack
The lower rack is best used for plates, saucers and
cookware items. Large items, such as broiler pans and
baking racks should be placed along the sides of the rack.
If necessary, oversized glasses and mugs can be placed in
the lower rack to maximize loading flexibility. Plates, saucers
and similar items should be placed between the tines in the
direction that allows the item to remain secure in the rack.
NOTE: Do not load large items in the lower rack where they may
block the wash jets from rinsing out the detergent dispenser.
The lower rack fold down tines (on some models) can
be adjusted
to different
upright
angles or
placed flat
to provide
flexibility for
hard-to-fit or
extra-large
items.
The reversible tine blocks (on some models) are designed
to allow greater flexibility in loading dishes. The direction
of the tine blocks can be changed to match your preferred
loading direction as shown in Figure A or Figure B:
To adjust the tine block direction, remove the clips
securing the tine blocks to the racks by pulling up on the
tab, then gently flex the retaining wire from the center to
unseat the tine block from the lower rack. The tine block
may be turned in the opposite direction to reverse loading
direction. Secure the tine block to the rack using the same
process and be sure to snap the clips back in place.
To change the direction of the fold down tines, lower
the tines, then pull away from the bar clips that secure
the tines to the rack and remove. Reverse the direction
of the tines, orienting the handle on the opposite side of
the rack. Reattach the tines to the bar clips by pushing
the tines back until they click in place. The indexer will
also need to be switched to the opposite side of the
dishwasher. To remove the indexer, simply slide it the
in the direction labeled “unlock.” Then, align the indexer
with the rack on the other side and slide in the direction
that says “lock” in order to reattach the indexer to the
rack.
IMPORTANT:
It is important to ensure that items do not
protrude through the bottom of the rack or the silverware
basket where they will block the rotation of the lower
spray arm. Also, ensure that large plates, pots, or tall
items don’t hit the mid spray arm. This could result in
noise during operation and/or poor wash performance.
For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and silverware baskets
may vary from your model.

The 3rd rack is the recommended location for silverware
and large utensils
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Ŷ Do not allow cutlery of different materials to touch each
other in the 3rd rack. Doing so may cause discoloration
of the cutlery.
Ŷ The tray is only meant to be used with a Café 3rd rack
dishwasher to hold silverware, cooking utensils,
and other small items. Using the tray for any other
purpose could result in damage to the tray or damage
to anything interacting with the tray.
Ŷ Ensure that the 3rd rack is fully closed before shutting
the dishwasher door. Shutting the door with the
rack partially extended could cause damage to the
dishwasher.
The 3rd rack is also removable to allow extra large items to be placed in the upper rack:
To remove the 3rd rack:
1
With the rack fully extended, lift the front of the rack so that
the rack roller wheels clear the retaining hook
.
2
Continue to pull the rack until the remaining rack roller
wheels clear the retaining hook.
3
Replace the rack by aligning the rack roller wheels on the
retaining hook and rack rails – Ensure all roller wheels are
located on top of the rack rails
.
Take care when loading, unloading,
or transporting the silverware or
utensil tray. The tray may contain sharp or heavy
items. If items are dropped from the tray or the tray
is dropped, injury could occur.

Silverware Basket
Place flatware in the removable silverware baskets. Sharp
objects, such as forks and knives, may be placed with the
handles facing up, in order to protect your hands. For the
best wash performance, place other items such as spoons
with the handles facing down. Avoid allowing items to nest
together, which may keep them from being properly washed.
When loading, distribute items evenly in the basket.
The silverware baskets may also be used for small items,
such as measuring spoons, baby bottle
nipples, plastic lids, or corn cob holders.
The silverware basket covers can be
closed to contain small items.
IMPORTANT: Do not load large or
tall utensils where they may block the
detergent dispenser, mid spray arm, or
become trapped between the door and
the gasket when the door is closed.
Deep Clean Silverware Jets
(on some models)
Deep Clean Silverware Jets target stubborn,
stuck-on food and help separate nested spoons
and forks to keep your silverware spotless no
matter how you load the silverware. For optimal
silverware cleaning, the use of silverware basket
lids is always recommended. For models with
the third rack, the Deep Clean Silverware Jets
can also be used to clean mixing bowls and
other cookware.
Do not remove Deep Clean Silverware Jet
spray assembly from the dishwasher rack.
Silverware/flatware is loaded using the silverware basket lids. This ensures great wash performance of the
silverware. Loading in this manner prevents nesting and makes sure all items are washed uniformly.

Care and Cleaning
USING THE DISHWASHER
Control Panel
To clean the control panel, use a lightly dampened cloth.
Then dry thoroughly.
Dishwasher Interior
To clean and de-odorize your dishwasher, use citric acid
or Finish
®
Dishwasher Cleaner, a detergent additive.
Finish
®
Dishwasher Cleaner will break up mineral
deposits, and remove hard water film and stains. You
can order citric acid Café kit WD35X151 through Café
Parts by visiting cafeappliances.com/parts. In Canada,
visit cafeappliances.ca. You can purchase Finish
®
Dishwasher Cleaner at your local grocery store.
Stainless Steel Inner Door and Tub
The stainless steel used to make the dishwasher tub and
inner door provides the highest reliability available in a
Café dishwasher.
If the dishwasher tub or inner door should be scratched
or dented during normal use, they will not rust or corrode.
These surface blemishes will not affect their function or
durability.
Exterior Door Panel
Before cleaning the front panel, make sure you know what
type of panel you have. Refer to the last two letters of
your model number. You can locate your model number
on the left-hand tub wall just inside the door. If your model
number ends with D1 or W2 then you have a painted door
panel. If your model number ends with S1 or SS, then you
have a stainless steel door panel.
Follow the instructions below for cleaning the door panel for
your specific model.
Painted Door Panel (model numbers ending in D1–Matte
Black or W2–Matte White)
Use a clean, soft, lightly dampened cloth, then dry
thoroughly.
Stainless Steel Door Panel (model numbers ending in S1
or SS)
For cleaning rust and tarnish, cleaners with oxalic acid
such as Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser™ will remove
rust, tarnish and small blemishes. Use only a liquid cleanser
free of grit and rub in the direction of the brush lines with a
damp soft sponge. Do not use appliance wax or polish on
the stainless steel.
Glass Door Panel - Use window cleaner for cleaning,
then let dry thoroughly.
For other blemishes and marks, use Stainless Steel
Magic or a similar product using a clean soft cloth.
Do not use appliance wax, polish, bleach or products
containing chlorine on stainless steel. You can order
Stainless Steel Magic WX10X29 through Café by
visiting cafeappliances.com/parts. In Canada, visit
cafeappliances.ca.

Care and Cleaning
USING THE DISHWASHER
Protect Against Freezing
If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place during the
winter, ask a service technician to:
1
Turn off electrical power to the dishwasher. Remove
fuses or trip circuit breaker.
2
Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet
line from the water valve.
3
Drain water from the water inlet line and water valve.
(Use a pan to catch the water.)
4
Reconnect the water inlet line to the water valve.
Does Your Dishwasher Have an Air Gap?
An air gap protects your dishwasher
against water backing up into it if a drain
clogs. The air gap is not a part of the
dishwasher. It is not covered by your
warranty. Not all plumbing codes require
air gaps, so you may not have one.
The air gap is easy to clean.
1
Turn off the dishwasher and lift off the air gap cover.
2
Remove the plastic cap under the cover and clean with a
toothpick.
3
Replace the cap and cover when the air gap is clean.
Check the air gap any
time your dishwasher
isn’t draining well.
Air gap
Filters
Inspect and clean the filters periodically. This should be done every other month or more depending on usage. If
there is a decrease in wash performance or dishes feel gritty, this is also an indication the filters need to be cleaned.
Ultra-Fine Filter Assembly
To clean the Ultra-Fine Filter assembly, remove the
bottom rack. Twist the Ultra-Fine Filter assembly
counterclockwise and lift to remove for cleaning. Rinse
filter with warm soapy water and use a sponge to
carefully remove any stubborn particles.
For models with a 2-piece Ultra-Fine Filter assembly with
an additional Filter Basket for food particles, twist the
Filter Basket in the counterclockwise direction to unlock
it from the Ultra-Fine Filter assembly. See directional
arrows on the bottom of the Filter Basket. Pull the Filter
Basket to remove from the assembly, throw away any
food particles, rinse with warm soapy water, and use a
sponge to remove any stubborn particles.
Once cleaned, replace Filter Basket back into the
Ultra-Fine Filter assembly and twist it clockwise to lock
into place.
Fine Filter
To clean the Fine Filter (mesh plate), remove the bottom
rack. Remove the Ultra-Fine Filter.
Lift the Fine Filter up and out from under the two rear
retaining tabs. Rinse filter with warm soapy water.
Scouring pads or brushes can scratch the filter surface
but a soft brush or sponge may be needed to remove
stubborn soils or calcium deposits caused by hard water.
Once cleaned, replace the Fine Filter making sure it
goes under the two rear retaining tabs. Replace the
Ultra-Fine Filter.

To remove the white film, run your dishes through a
dishwasher cycle with citric acid. Use a WD35X151 citric
acid kit found online. Otherwise, use
Finish
®
Dishwasher
Cleaner
found at your local grocery store.
Pour the citric acid in the detergent cup and close the
cover. Place the filmed but otherwise clean glassware and
dishware in the dishwasher. Leave silverware and other
metal items out of the dishwasher. Turn the dishwasher on
and let it run through a complete cycle without detergent.
The glassware, dishware, and dishwasher should come out
film free. Alternatively, a vinegar rinse may be used. Pour 1
cup of vinegar into dishwasher just after the detergent cup
opens and let the dishwasher complete its cycle.
This may be repeated several times a year as needed.
The use of a rinse agent such as
Finish
®
Jet-Dry
®
Rinse
Aid may help minimize a repeat build up of film. Also, the
use of a highly rated detergent such as Finish
®
Quantum
®
Automatic Dishwashing Detergent will help prevent film
build-up.
Feel air on your
legs when standing
in front of the
dishwasher in cycle.
This is normal Do not interrupt the cycle. No action is required.
