Introduction

The new GE Proﬁle PDW8900 Series, PWDW9700 Series, and PDW9900 Series dishwashers incorporate the following new features for 2005:

•SmartDispenseTM - A bulk liquid detergent dispense assembly is introduced with this dishwasher. It consists of a dispense reservoir mounted within the inner door panel, a liquid level sensor con- nected to a Low Detergent LED on the control panel, and a positive displacement pump to inject the optimal amount of detergent into the dishwasher during each cycle. A water hardness selec- tion mode permits the calibration of the location's water hardness.

•Single Rack WashTM - In addition to the two rack wash cycles, this GE Proﬁle dishwasher has a Single Rack Wash which bypasses the lower spray arm, directing the cleaning power to the up- per rack only. Water is dispensed from the middle and upper wash arms only.

•Smart Fill - The wash system has been changed to a low ﬂow design. The wash, dry, and noise performance have all been improved. Smaller jets on the spray arms require less water to keep the pump primed. Less water allows the Calrod to heat the water to a higher temperature, im- proving both wash and dry performances.

•Angled Rack Dry - A new top rack features two adjustable-angle dividers. This prevents rinse water from puddling, allowing it to run off the bottoms of stemware, glasses, and cups.
