Protect
Against
Freezing
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.
5. Remove the filters from the tub bottom and use a sponge to soak up water.
The Air
Gap
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
chrome cover.
2. Unscrew the plastic cap and clean with
a toothpick.
Interior
The stainless steel tub can be cleaned with Stainless Steel Magic or a similar product using
a clean, soft cloth.
Use stainless steel cleaner on stainless steel panel. You can order

through GE Parts in the USA, by calling 800.626.2002. In Canada, call 1.888.880.3030.
Wipe the rubber door seals occasionally, including the seal at the bottom of the door.
Check the air gap any time your dishwasher
isn’t draining well.
