Proper Use of Detergent

Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Cascade® Automatic Dishwashing Detergent has 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

 

 

require detergent in the main cup. Wash cycles

Open cup

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.

 

 

Be sure the control panel lights are not lit

Main cup

before adding detergent. Otherwise, the

 

 

detergent cup will not close and latch properly.

 

 

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.

Forget to Add a Dish?

A forgotten dish can be added any time before the main wash.

 

Push the door latch to the left.
