GE GLD6900 Series Dishwasher User Manual


 
This dishwasher may have a SmartDispense
feature
which automatically dispenses liquid automatic
dishwasher detergent into each cycle based on soil
level and water hardness.
To utilize the SmartDispense
Detergent Dispenser,
it must first be filled. Although any liquid or gel
automatic dishwashing detergent can be used in
the SmartDispense
system, all liquid or gel
automatic dishwashing detergents are not the same.
Most automatic dishwashing detergents are chlorine
bleach-based (such as Cascade
®
or Electrasol
®
)
while others contain enzymes (such as Cascade
Complete
®
).
Do not mix any chlorine bleach-based automatic
dishwashing detergent with any dishwashing
detergent containing enzymes as this could cause
the detergents to congeal and lead to blockage of
the SmartDispense
system. Check the detergent
label to determine if the detergent is chlorine
bleach-based or one that contains enzymes. It is
recommended that the same type of detergent be
used when refilling your SmartDispense
system.
CAUTION! Absolutely do not add
powder detergent, tablets or any liquid soap or
detergent normally used for washing hands or
dishes in a sink. Only use liquid or gel detergent
specifically designed for use in an automatic
dishwasher.
Filling Dispenser
To open the dispenser for filling, push down and
turn the blue cap counterclockwise until the cap
is loose. Lift cap off.
Set the door at a comfortable angle to fill the
dispenser.
Aim the detergent bottle at the opening in the door
and begin to fill.
The dispenser will hold 1.1 l (40 fl. oz.) of liquid
dishwasher detergent (standard size bottle).
When full, replace the cap and turn clockwise
until tight to ensure that no water enters the
SmartDispense
dispenser. If residue is left on
the door, it will be washed off in the next cycle.
An indicator light will turn on to notify you when the
dispenser needs to be filled again. After filling, the light
will not turn off until the door is closed. A full dispenser
will last approximately 1 month for the average user.
NOTE: If you are not using SmartDispense
and you
want to turn the LOW DETERGENT LED light off, press
the ADDED HEAT pad 5 times within 3 seconds. You
will hear 3 beeps, then the light will go off. You can
turn the light back on by pressing the ADDED HEAT
pad 5 times within 3 seconds.
