Proper Use of Detergent

Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Cascade® Automatic Dishwashing Detergent has been approved. Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Don’t put 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.

Use the information in the table below as a guideline to determine the amount of automatic dishwasher detergent to place in the dispenser.

When using automatic dishwasher detergent tablets, simply place one tablet in the dispenser and close the cover.

For heavily-soiled loads, use the HEAVY wash cycle and add a little extra detergent.

DO NOT USE HAND DISH DETERGENT

NOTE: Using a detergent that is not specifically designed for dishwashers will cause the dishwasher to fill with suds. During operation, these suds will spill out of the dishwasher vents, covering the kitchen floor and making the floor wet.

Because so many detergent containers look alike, store the dishwasher detergent in a separate space from all other cleaners. Show anyone who may use the dishwasher the correct detergent and where it is stored.

While there will be no lasting damage to the dishwasher, your dishes will not get clean using a dishwashing detergent that is not formulated to work with dishwashers.

To open the wash cover, press the button and the cover will flip back.

Forget to Add a Dish?

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

1 Unlatch the door to interrupt the cycle. Pull the door handle to release the door.

2 Do not open the door until the water spray action stops. Steam may rise out of the dishwasher.

3 Add forgotten dishes.

4 Close the door and push it in to relatch.

GLDT690, GLDT696 specifications

The GE GLDT696 and GLDT690 are sophisticated gas turbine engines designed for various industrial applications, particularly in power generation and mechanical drive services. Both models represent the culmination of advanced engineering, offering superior performance, reliability, and efficiency to meet the demands of modern energy needs.

The GE GLDT696 is known for its high output and operational flexibility. It features a heavy-duty design that allows it to operate across a wide range of environmental conditions. This turbine is equipped with advanced aerodynamics that enhance airflow and combustion efficiency, resulting in a significant reduction in emissions. With a thermal efficiency of up to 36%, the GLDT696 excels in converting fuel into usable energy, making it an ideal choice for power generation in combined cycle power plants.

On the other hand, the GLDT690, while slightly smaller in capacity, does not compromise on performance. Known for its compact design, this engine is particularly suitable for applications where space is a constraint. The GLDT690 shares many technological advancements with its larger counterpart, including the same high-efficiency combustor and turbine blade designs, which contribute to lower operational costs and emissions.

Both turbines utilize state-of-the-art controls that provide real-time monitoring and optimization of performance variables. The integrated control system allows for seamless operation and enhances reliability, reducing the risk of unplanned downtime. Additionally, both models are designed with modular components, facilitating easier maintenance and quicker turnaround times.

The emissions control technologies utilized in both GE models are noteworthy. They include low-NOx combustion systems and advanced air-fuel mixing techniques, which significantly mitigate the release of harmful pollutants into the atmosphere. This not only helps operators adhere to stringent environmental regulations but also bolsters sustainability efforts in energy production.

Overall, the GE GLDT696 and GLDT690 are exemplary examples of cutting-edge turbine technology. By combining high efficiency, reliability, and advanced emissions controls, these gas turbines stand as a testament to GE's commitment to innovation and environmental responsibility in the pursuit of cleaner energy solutions.
