Proper Use of Detergent

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 dispensers on the 
inside door of your dishwasher. All wash cycles
require detergent in the main cup. Wash cycles
with two washes will also use the open cup. When
using automatic dishwashing detergent tabs,
simply place one tab in the main cup and close.
Be sure the Dial is OFF before adding 
detergent. Otherwise, the detergent cup will not 
close and latch properly. Add detergent then close the main cup.

To open detergent cup after it has 

been closed, simply turn the detergent cup
handle counter-clockwise until it releases. 
A snapping sound may be heard.
