Proper Use of Detergent

Safety Instructions

Operating

Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Cascade®, Cascade® Complete and Electrasol® Automatic Dishwashing Detergents have 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.

All wash cycles except RINSE ONLY require detergent in the main and pre-wash cup. The amount of detergent to use depends on whether your water is hard or soft. With hard water, fill the main wash section and pre-wash section completely. With soft water, fill both sections halfway. When using automatic dishwashing detergent tabs, simply place one tab in the main wash section and close.

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.
