Cleaning the Control Panel
To clean the control panel, use a lightly dampened
cloth. Then dry thoroughly.
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 cover.
2
Remove the plastic cap and clean with
a toothpick.
Does Your Dishwasher Have an Air Gap?
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
Drain water from the water inlet line and water
valve. (Use a pan to catch the water.)
4
Reconnect the water inlet line to the water valve.

Cleaning the Exterior Door Panel
Before cleaning the front panel, make sure you know
what type of panel you have. Refer to the last two
letters of your model number. You can locate your
model number on the left-hand tub wall just inside the
door. If your model number ends with BB, CC, or WW,
then you have a painted door panel. If your model
number ends with SS, then you have a Stainless Steel
Door panel. If your model number ends with II, then
you have an Intergrated door panel.
Follow the instructions below for cleaning the door
panel for your specific model.
Painted Door Panel (model numbers ending in BB–
black, CC–bisque or WW–white)
Use a clean, soft, lightly dampened cloth, then dry
thoroughly. You may also use a good appliance wax
or polish.
Stainless Steel Door Panel (model numbers ending in
SS)
The stainless steel panels can be cleaned with
Stainless Steel Magic or a similar product using a clean,
soft cloth. Do not use appliance wax, polish, bleach or
products containing chlorine on Stainless Steel doors.
You can order Stainless Steel Magic #WX10X15
through GE Parts by calling 800.626.2002.
Integrated Door Panel (model numbers ending in II)
This is a custom installed door panel, and you
will need to refer to the cabinet manufacturers
recommendations for proper cleaning.
Stainless Steel Interior-Tub and Inner Door
The stainless steel used to clean the dishwasher tub
and inner door provides the highest reliability available
in a GE dishwasher.
If the dishwasher tub or inner door should be
scratched or dented during normal use, they will not
rust or corrode. These surface blemishes will not affect
their function or durability.
Check the air gap any
time your dishwasher
isn’t draining well.

Cleaning the Filters
Fine Filter
Clean the Fine Filter every other month or more
frequently depending on usage. Remove the bottom
rack. Twist and remove the large round filter. Rinse
filter with warm soapy water and use a sponge to
carefully remove any stubborn particles. Scrubbing
with scouring pads or brushes can damage the filter.
Once cleaned, replace the Fine Filter, and twist to lock
in place.
Coarse Filter
Clean the Coarse Filter each year or as needed to
remove large food particles. Remove the bottom rack,
and twist each of the two retaining posts located
toward the back bottom of the tub, and remove the
flat mesh plate (Coarse Filter). Rinse filter with warm
soapy water. Scouring pads or brushes can damage
the filter. Once cleaned, replace the mesh plate, and
twist the two retaining posts into place.
The retaining posts can be
a choke hazard for small
children. Keep out of reach of children.
