Youmay usetablet, packet,powder, liquid orgelautomatic
dishwasher detergent. Hake sureyou 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
GErecommends using detergent in tablet or packet form.
Independent testing has shown this form of detergent is
very effective in the dishwasher. Cascade ® Platinum
Pacs are an example of this type of detergent. Simply put
a tablet or packet into the main wash compartment and
slide to close the detergent cup cover. Please notice that
the tablet or packet must be placed in the main wash
compartment of the detergent cup. Ifthe tablet or packet
is 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 usewill 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 inyour 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.Call 1-877-959-8688 and ask for part number
WD01×10295. In Canada,call 1-800-66!-!6!6.
