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, calledetching.

You’ll find two detergent dispensers on the

 

 

 

 

inside door of your dishwasher. All wash cycles

 

 

except RINSE ONLY require detergent in the

Open cup

main cup. Wash cycles 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 Dial is OFF before adding detergent. Otherwise, the detergent cup will not
