Your new dishwasher has the capability to wash extra large items in the lower rack. This is accomplished by removing the upper rack and installing a nozzle over the port that normally supplies water to the upper rack. The nozzle is not included with your dishwasher, but is available for purchase from GE. Call GE at 1.800.626.2002 or go to the GE website ge.com and request Nozzle Spray Asm, part number WD12X10134.

Customers in Canada can order on-line at geappliances.ca 24 hours every day, or by phone at 1.800.661.1616 during normal business hours.

NOTE: Do not use the SINGLE RACK WASH cycle (some models) with this feature. Single Rack Wash cycle is for upper rack wash only. The recommended cycle for lower rack only use is the COOKWARE cycle.

NOTE: Nozzle must be in place with upper rack removed. If not installed properly, poor wash performance and noise will result.

Instructions

Operating Instructions

One-piece basket (on some models)

Three-piece basket (on some models)

Don’t let any item extend through bottom.

Silverware Basket

To load flatware, simply push the adjustable handle to either side (on some models). Put flatware in the removable basket with fork and knife handles up to protect your hands. Place spoons in the basket with handles down. Mix knives, forks and spoons so they don’t nest together. Distribute evenly. Small plastic items, such as measuring spoons and lids from small containers should go in the bottom of the silverware basket with the silverware on top.

The one-piece silverware basket (on some models) can be placed in the front, right side or back of the lower rack.

A variety of options is available regarding the three-piece silverware basket (on some models) in your dishwasher. The complete basket is designed to fit on the right side of the lower rack. Additionally, each end of the basket is removable to add loading flexibility to accommodate flatware and lower rack capacity needs.

The lids of both end and middle baskets (on some models) can be closed to contain small items. Long items can be placed on the utility shelf in the upper rack.

Troubleshooting Tips

To remove end baskets, grasp the basket at opposite corners and slide apart.
