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, called
etching
.
You’ll find two detergent cups on the inside door of your dishwasher.
For
POTS & PANS
and
NORMAL WASH
fill both cups. For
LIGHT WASH
fill only the Main Wash cup. Close the Main Wash cup before closing
the dishwasher door. When using automatic dishwashing detergent tabs,
simply place one tab in the main wash and close.
