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 buildup
on your dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware
and plastic. Jet-Dry
®
and Cascade Crystal
Clear
®
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 door is fully open.
Rotate the dispenser cap counterclockwise 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 or clockwise
to decrease the amount of rinse agent dispensed.

Features
(on some
models)
Interior Lights (on some models)
The interior Xenon lights provide better visibility
for loading and unloading. They turn 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 open 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 is
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.
