Cleaning the Spray Arms and the Filters

The dishwasher will flush away all normal food soils. However, objects (fruit pits, bones, etc.) may collect in openings and should be removed occasionally to avoid clogging the drain system.

CAUTION

Personal injury hazard. Before cleaning the interior, wait at least 20 minutes after a cycle for the heating element to cool down. Failure to do so could result in burn injuries.

Cleaning the Spray Arms

Because hard water chemicals will clog the spray arm jets and bearings, it is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly. To remove the spray arm, twist the retaining nut 90 degrees and pull the spray arm off the shaft.

Wash the arms in soapy, warm water and use a soft brush to clean the jets. Replace them after rinsing thoroughly.

Cleaning the Filters

For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be cleaned regularly. The filter efficiently removes food particles from the wash water, allowing water to be recirculated during the cycle. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove the large food particles trapped in the filter frequently by rinsing the main filter and cup under running water. To remove the filter assembly, pull up on the cup handle. The entire filter

assembly should be cleaned at least once a month. To clean the main filter and fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Then, reassemble the filter parts as shown in the illustration and reinsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning it in place and pressing downward. The dishwasher must never be used without the filters. Improper replacement of the filter may reduce the performance level of the appliance and may damage dishes and utensils.

Instructions

Protect Against Freezing

If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place during the winter, ask a service technician to:

1 Cut off electrical power to the dishwasher. Remove fuses or trip circuit breaker.

2 Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet line from the water valve.

3

4

Drain water from the water inlet line and water valve. (Use a pan to catch the water.)

Reconnect the water inlet line to the water valve.

Troubleshooting Tips

Two types of air gaps

Check the air gap any time your dishwasher isn’t draining well.

Does Your Dishwasher Have an Air Gap?

An air gap protects your dishwasher against water backing up into it if a drain clogs. The air gap is not a part of the dishwasher. It is not covered by your warranty. Not all plumbing codes require air gaps, so you may not have one.

The air gap is easy to clean.

1 Turn off the dishwasher and lift off the chrome cover.

2 Remove the plastic cap and clean with a toothpick.

GSM1800 specifications

The GE GSM1800 is a significant contribution to the realm of mobile communication technology, designed to operate on the GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) 1800 MHz frequency band. This mobile transmission standard is widely adopted in many countries for its efficiency in supporting voice and data services. The GSM1800 operates in a frequency band that allows for a higher capacity for users and services compared to other frequency bands, making it a preferred choice for urban environments where demand is high.

One of the primary features of the GE GSM1800 is its enhanced communication quality. The technology leverages advanced modulation techniques, such as Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying (GMSK), to ensure clear and reliable voice transmission. This modulation technique minimizes interference and enhances the signal's robustness, which is essential in densely populated urban areas.

Another notable characteristic of the GE GSM1800 is its support for various communication services. Apart from standard voice calls, it can handle SMS (Short Message Service), MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service), and GPRS (General Packet Radio Service). GPRS allows for packet-switched data communication, facilitating internet browsing, email, and multimedia downloading, showcasing the versatility of the GE GSM1800 in catering to modern mobile communication needs.

The GE GSM1800 also features an adaptive power control mechanism that optimizes transmission power. This functionality not only conserves battery life in mobile devices but also reduces the risk of interference between neighboring cells. The system utilizes dynamic channel allocation, enabling it to allocate communication channels based on real-time user demand, further enhancing efficiency and performance.

Security is another priority in the design of the GE GSM1800. The technology incorporates strong encryption protocols to protect user data and uphold privacy in communications. This aspect is particularly crucial in today's environment, where cyber threats are prevalent.

In summary, the GE GSM1800 stands out for its combination of high capacity, quality voice services, versatile data capabilities, efficient power management, and robust security features. These characteristics make it a reliable choice for mobile operators seeking to meet the growing demand for mobile communication in today's fast-paced digital landscape. As mobile technology continues to evolve, the features and capabilities of standard GSM systems like the GE GSM1800 remain foundational to advancing communications for users around the globe.
