ProperUseof Detergent
Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwasher's. Cascade _
Automatic Dishwashing Detergent has been approved for use in all GE
dishwasher's° Keep your detergent flesh and diT. Don't put powder
detergent into the dispenser untiI you're ready to wash dishes.
The amount of detergent to use depends on whether your water is
hardor soft. With hard water, you need extra detergenL With soft
water, you need less detergent..
Protect your dishes and dishwasher by contacting your water
department ,and asking how hard your water isoTWelve 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 doudiness of glassw-axe, called etching,
You'll find two detergent dispensers on the
inside door of your dishwashen All wash cycles
require detergent in the main cup, Wash cycles
with two washes will also use the open
using automatic dishwashing detergent tabs,
simply place one tab in the main cup and close.
Be sure the control panel lights are not lit
before adding detergent. Otherwise, the
detergent cup will not close and latch property_
Add detergent then close the main cup..
NOTE:To open detergent cup after it has
been closed, simply turn the detergent cup
handle counter_clockwise until it releases..
A snapping sound may be heard..
