The detergent dispenser is located in the center of the 

dishwasher door. It has two compartments. The main wash 

compartment is found inside the detergent dispenser. 

To open, press the button on the side of the dispenser. 

The pre-wash compartment is on the lid of the detergent 

dispenser. Use the pre-wash compartment only when your 

water is extremely hard or when you have a heavy soiled 

load. The pre-wash compartment is not used when tablet 

or packet detergents are used.

NOTE:

 Do not load large items in the lower rack where 

they may block the wash jets from rinsing out the 

detergent dispenser.

You may use tablet, packet, powder, liquid or gel automatic 

dishwasher detergent. Make sure you use only detergents 

specifically labeled for use in automatic dishwashers. 

Never use liquid hand dish detergent in an automatic 

dishwasher. Sudsing and poor wash performance will 

result with the use of improper detergents. 
Detergents should be stored in a dry location and in their 

original container to prevent loss of effectiveness. Place 

detergent in the cup just prior to starting the dishwasher 

and then close the cover. The cover will open during the 

wash cycle.

Filling the Detergent Dispenser

GE recommends using detergent in tablet or packet form. 

Independent testing has shown this form of detergent is 

very effective in the dishwasher. 

Cascade

®

 Platinum 

Pacs

 

are an example of this type of detergent. Simply put 

a tablet or packet into the main wash compartment and 

slide to close the detergent cup cover. Please notice that 

the tablet or packet must be placed in the main wash 

compartment of the detergent cup. If the tablet or packet 

is tossed in the bottom of the dishwasher, the detergent 

will be flushed down the drain in a very short period of 

time and will thus be wasted. Wash performance will be 

very poor as a result.
If you choose to use detergent in powder, liquid or gel 

form, the amount of detergent you use will be determined 

by the hardness of your water, the temperature of your 

water, and the food soil load inside the dishwasher. 

Contact your water company to get information about 

the hardness of the water in your area. Water hardness is 

measured in grains per gallon. Use this information and 

the table above to determine the amount of detergent 

to use. You may purchase a hard water test strip 

from GE. Call 1-877-959-8688 and ask for part number 

WD01X10295

. In Canada, call 1-800-661-1616.

Using too much detergent with very soft and/or very hot water 

may cause a condition called etching on your glassware. 

Etching is a permanent cloudiness in your glassware. This 

condition is irreversible. However, using too little detergent will 

cause poor wash performance.

Use the table as a starting point and then adjust the amount 

of detergent you use. Use just enough to get good wash 

performance. Using just the right amount of detergent will 

provide great wash performance without wasting detergent or 

etching glassware.

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 for automatic dishwashers.
