Using the dishwasher
Dishwasher
Water
Temperature
The entering water must be at least 120°F
(49°C) and
not more than 150°F (66°C), for
effective cleaning and to prevent dish damage.
Check the water temperature with a candy or
meat thermometer. Turn on the hot water faucet
nearest the dishwasher, place the thermometer
in a glass and let the water run continuously into
the glass until the temperature stops rising.
Use a
Rinse
Agent
A rinse agent improves dry performance,
reduces spots and prevents new film build-up
on your dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware
and plastic. Jet-Dry
®
and Cascade Rinse Aid
®
are recommended rinse agents for Monogram
Dishwashers.
The rinse agent dispenser holds 3.5 oz. of rinse
agent. Under normal conditions, this will last
approximately one month. Try to keep it full,
but do not overfill.
To fill the rinse agent dispenser, make sure the
dishwasher is fully open.
Turn the dispenser cap to the left and lift it
out. Add rinse agent until the indicator window
shows full.
Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a damp
cloth. Replace the dispenser cap.
The amount of rinse agent released into the
final wash can be adjusted. The factory setting
is at the midpoint. If there are rings of calcium
(hard water) spots on dishes, try a higher
setting. If there is foaming, use a lower setting.
To adjust the setting, remove the dispenser cap;
then turn the adjuster counterclockwise to
increase the amount of rinse agent.

Lighting
Features (on
some models)
Interior Lights (on some models)
The interior Xenon lights provide better
visibility for loading and unloading. They come
on when the door is opened and turn off when
the door is latched. The lights will turn off after
15 minutes if the door remains unlatched. To
turn the lights back on latch and reopen the
door.
Do not attempt to replace the bulbs. If light
bulb replacement is necessary, please contact
the GE Answer Center for service by calling
1.800.626.2000.
End-of-Cycle Indicator Light (on some models)
The end-of-cycle indicator light is located on
the right side of the dishwasher, above the
handle. This light comes on when the selected
cycle and enhancements are complete. The
light will stay on until the door is opened. The
dishes may be removed at any time.
Note that the high-efficiency fan will run quietly
for 30 minutes to 4 hours (depending on the
selected cycle) after the end-of-cycle indicator
light is illuminated to continue drying the
dishes. Opening the door and pressing any
keypad will stop the fan.
