What water temperature does the GSD1120 require for good washing results?

The entering water must be between 120°F and 140°F for good washing and drying. To prevent dish damage, inlet water should not exceed 150°F. If your water temperature is below 140°F, you should select the WASH HEAT BOOST option, which extends the wash cycle by 21 minutes while the dishwasher heats the water. (Page 6)

How do I fill the rinse agent dispenser, and how long does it last?

Unscrew the dispenser cap and add liquid rinse agent until it reaches the FULL line on the tip of the cap, then replace the cap. The dispenser holds 4.5 ounces, which should last about 3 months. If you accidentally spill rinse agent, wipe it up immediately with a damp cloth, as leaving it can prevent your detergent from working properly. (Page 6)

How much detergent should I use based on my water hardness?

For the POTSCRUBBER cycle with soft water (0–3 grains), use a half-full main cup plus half-full open cup; with hard water (7–12 grains), use a completely full main cup plus completely full open cup. A filled main cup holds 3 tablespoons and a filled open cup holds 2 tablespoons. If your water exceeds 12 grains of hardness, a water softener is recommended, as lime can build up in the water valve and may cause flooding. (Page 7)

How do I remove spots and film from glassware?

Remove all metal utensils, add no detergent, and select the POTSCRUBBER cycle. After 18–22 minutes (when the dishwasher is in the main wash), open the door and pour 2 cups (500 ml) of white vinegar into the bottom, then close the door and allow the cycle to complete. If vinegar doesn't work, repeat the process using 1/4 cup (60 ml) of citric acid crystals instead. (Page 12)

What wash cycles are available on the GSD1120, and how much water does each use?

The GSD1120 offers four wash cycles: POTSCRUBBER (11.4 gallons, ~65 minutes), NORMAL WASH (11.4 gallons, ~50 minutes), WATER SAVER (7.3 gallons, ~55 minutes), and RINSE & HOLD (2.9 gallons, ~9 minutes). Note that selecting the WASH HEAT BOOST option adds approximately 21 minutes to any wash cycle. The HEATED DRY option adds 32 minutes to the wash cycle time. (Page 5)

What items should NOT be washed in the GSD1120 dishwasher?

Items that should not be washed include iron (it will rust), pewter (it tarnishes), tin (it can rust), wood (it can warp, crack, or lose its finish), and non-dishwasher-safe plastics. Antique, metal-trimmed, or hand-painted china and crystal with gold leaf should also be avoided, as patterns can fade and gold leaf will discolor. (Page 10)

Important Safety Instructions

Read all instructions before using this appliance A WARNING—When using this appliance, always exercise basic safety precautions, including the following: G Use this appliance only for its intended purpose, as you will find described in this Use and Care Guide. G This dishwasher must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used. If you did not receive an Installation Instructions sheet with your dishwasher, you can obtain one by calling, toll free, the GE Answer Center? 800.626.2000. —This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system; or an equipment- grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead of the appliance. —Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized power- supply circuit to avoid electrical overload. G Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. G Use only powder or liquid detergents or wetting agents recommended for use in a dishwasher. G Do not wash plastic items unless marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendations. G Load light plastic items so they will not become dislodged and drop to the bottom of the dishwasher—they might come into contact with the Calrod@ heating element and be damaged. To minimize the possibility of injury. Q When loading items to be washed: A. Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal, and B. Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries. G Do not touch the Calrod@ heating element during or immediately after use. G Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place. G Do not tamper with controls. G Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish rack of the dishwasher. G Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is used by or near children. Do not allow children to play inside, on or with this appliance or any discarded appliance. Dispose of discarded appliances and shipping or packing material properly. Before discarding a dishwasher, remove the door of the washing compartment. G Keep all washing detergents and wetting agents out of the reach of children, preferably in a locked cabinet. Observe all warnings on container labels to avoid personal injury. G To minimize the possibility of electric shock, disconnect this appliance from the power supply before attempting any maintenance. Note: Turning the control dial to the OFF position does not disconnect the appliance from the power supply. We recommend having a qualified technician service your appliance. Aw~G—~RWEN GAS is produced by the chemical action within your water heater. It can accumulate in the water heater andor water pipes if hot water has not been used for a period of two weeks or longer.

Hydrogen Gas Is

EXPLOSIVE. To prevent the possibility of damage or injury, if you have not used hot water for two weeks or more, or moved into a residence in which the hot water system may not have been used for some time, turn on all hot water faucets and allow them to run for several minutes before using any electrical appliance which is connected to the hot water system. This will allow any hydrogen gas to escape. Also, since the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or appliance during this process.

Dishes will dry naturally over a longer period such as overnight. If you need your dishes sooner, open the dishwasher door after the cycle is complete to reduce the natural drying time. Note: The ENERGY SAVER option will also cancel the WASH HEAT BOOST. To obtain WASH BOOST without HEATED DRY, select only the WASH HEAT BOOST option. (See Energy-Saving Tips.)

Step 4. Wash Heat Boost

Option. To test water temperature, see “How To Test Water Temperature Section.” The entering water must be between 120°F. and 140°F. Use the wash heat boost option when water is less than 140°F. When selected, the wash cycle will be extended for 21 minutes while the dishwasher heats the water for good washing and drying. STEP 5. Select the wash cycle and start the dishwasher. (See Cycle Selection Hints on next page.) If your dishwasher drains into a food waste disposer, operate the disposer until it is empty before starting the dishwasher. “When NOT using DELAY START (for all cycles): a.

Good dishwashing starts with HOT water To get dishes clean and dry you need hot water. To help you get water of the proper temperature, your dishwasher has a WATER HEAT BOOST feature. When selected (see Operating section), this water heating feature allows you to turn down your household water heater and save energy if you’re willing to let the dishwasher run a little longer while it heats water. For good washing and drying, the entering water must be between 120°F and 1400F. To prevent dish damage, inlet water should not exceed 150°F. How to test water temperature: Higher water temperature is needed to dissolve grease and activate powder detergents. If the water temperature is less than 140°F, use the WATER HEAT BOOST option. See WATER HEAT BOOST section. Check your water temperature with a candy or meat thermometer. Turn on the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher. Put the thermometer in a glass and let the water run continuously into the glass until the temperature stops rising. [f the water temperature is below 1200F adjust your water heater. Helpful hints: If outside temperatures are unusually low, or if your water travels a long distance from water heater to dishwasher, you may need to set your water heater’s thermostat up. If you have not used hot water for some time, the water in the pipes will be cold. Turn on the hot water faucet at the sink and allow it to run until the water is hot. Then start the dishwasher. [f you’ ve recently done laundry or run hot water for showers, give your water heater time to recover before operating the dishwasher. How to use a Rinse Agent A rinse agent makes water flow off dishes quicker than usual. This lessens water spotting and makes drying faster, too. For best dishwashing performance, use of a rinse agent such as JET- DRY brand is recommended. Rinse agents come in either liquid or solid form. Your dishwasher’s dispenser uses the liquid form. How to fill the rinse agent dispenser. Unscrew the cap. Note the FULL line on the tip K ~ti 1! 1 14!IV l,M

of the cap. Add the liquid rinse agent until it just reaches the top of the FULL line. Replace the cap. The dispenser automatically releases the rinse agent into the final rinse water. If you accidentally spill: Wipe up the rinse agent with a damp cloth. Don’t leave the spill in the dishwasher. It can keep your detergent from working. If you can’t find any rinse agent, write:

Benckiser Consumer

Products, Inc.

(“Jet Dry”)

55 Federal Rd. P.O. Box 1991 Danbury, CT. 06313-1991 Your dishwasher’s rinse agent container holds 4X ounces. This should last about 3 months. Fill as needed. Do not overfill. How to choose and use detergent First, use only powder or liquid detergents specifically made for use in dishwashers. Other types will cause oversudsing. Second, check the phosphate content. Phosphate helps prevent hard-water materials from forming spots or film on your dishes. [f your water is hard (7 grains or tnore), your detergent has to work harder. Detergents with a higher phosphate level will probably work better. If the phosphate content is low (8.7% or less), you’]] have to use extra detergent with hard water. Your water department can tell you how hard your water is. So can your county extension agent or your area’s water softener company. Just call and ask them how many “grains of hardness” there are in your water. How much detergent should you use? That depends. Is your water “hard” or “soft>”? With hard water, you need extra detergent to get dishes clean. With soft water, you need less detergent, Too much detergent with soft water not only wastes money, it can be harmful. It can cause a permanent cloudiness of glassware, called “etching.” An outside layer of glass is etched away! Of course, this takes some time. But why take a chance when it’s easy to find out the hardness of your water. Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Under the sink isn’t a good place to store detergent. Too tnuch moisture. Don’t put powder detergent into the dispenser until you’re ready to wash dishes, either. (It won’t be fresh OR dry.) If your powder detergent gets old or lumpy, throw it away. It won’t wash well. Old detergent often won’t dissolve. If you use a liquid dishwasher detergent, these precautions are not necessary because liquid detergents don’t “lump” as they age or come in contact with water. 6

C1OSP the main cup, NOTE: E) open the detergent cup after it has been closed, unlatch the door atld rotate the Cycle indicator Dial ~ljull turn to the OFF position. When the closed cup contains soap it is best that the door be in a partiall>’ open position before rotating the C}lcle Indi(ator Dial. This will help-reduce the amount of detergent and rinse aid agent spillage into the tub. How to prepare the dishes for washing If this is your first dishwasher, or if you’re replacing a much older model, you may wonder how much preparation your dishes need. Actually very little. Pre-rinsing of normal food soils is not necessary. With common sense and a little practice you’ll soon know what foods to remove. Here are some guidelines:

Scrape off bones, seeds, skins,

toothpicks and other hard solids. It is also best to remove hard-shelled vegetables, meat trimmings, leafy vegetables and crusts. Remove excessive quantities of oil or grease.

Remove large quantities of any

food. Your dishwasher has a built-in soft food disposer that pulverizes soft food bits and flushes them away. It can handle small amounts of soft foods, but large amounts will be difficult to handle.

Try to remove food scraps and

place dishes in dishwasher before soil has a chance to dry and become hard. Dishes with dried-on soil are more difficult to wash and may not come clean in the NORMAL WASH cycle. Remember to use your RINSE & HOLD cycle for small “holding” loads. Detergent Usage Guide (powder or liquid) Note: The foods mentioned are for examples only. Other foods not mentioned may also need to be removed from your dishes. You may also want to consider removing foods such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice and other foods that can cause discoloration of stainless steel if allowed to remain on dishes for a long period of time. When using the POTSCRUBBER cycle, less preparation is required before loading. The POTSCRUBBER cycle can wash heavily-soiled dishes. Items with burned-on and baked-on soils may not come clean. And the dishwasher cannot remove bum marks or restore fading caused by overheating during cooking. 1

Possible Cause

A fuse in your home may be blown, or the circuit breaker tripped. Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker. Remove any other appliances from the circuit. Utensils may not be secure on rack pins, or something small may have dropped from the rack. Water is causing utensils to rattle. Make sure everything is securely placed in dishwasher. Make sure inlet water temperature is correct. (See How To Test Water Temperature section. ) Unload the bottom rack first. Water from dishes in the top rack may be spilling into the bottom rack. Check for improper loading. Dishes shouldn’t nest together. Avoid overloading. Check the rinse agent dispenser to see that it’s not empty. Check inlet water temperature. It should be at least 120°F. (To test, see How To Test Water Temperature section.) Water pressure may be temporarily low. Turn on a faucet. Is water coming out slower than usual? If so, wait until pressure is normal before using your dishwasher. Plugged air gap. (See Care and Cleaning section.) Improper rack loading, (See Loading section.) Water may not be reaching the detergent cups. Move dishes that maybe blocking detergent cup. The dispenser cover may not be opening or may be blocked by improperly loaded items. [f you used a powder detergent, open the cup and remove any caked-on detergent. If the cup still doesn’t open automatically, call for service. Detergent may be old. If the powder detergent is hard or caked in the box, throw it away. The detergent may not be working well. Try another brand. Cycle Indicator Dial must be in OFF position for cup lid to close and latch properly. If you unlatch the door and open it to dry your dishes, the Cycle Indicator Dial does not advance to OFF by itself. Tea or coffee can stain cups. Remove the stain by hand, using a solution of 1/2 cup bleach and 3 cups warm water. An overall yellow or brown film on dishes or glassware can be caused by iron deposits in water. A special filter in the water supply line is the only way to correct this problem. Your water softener company can tell you about the filter. Yellow film on sterling silver results when you wash copper utensils in the same load. Silver polish will usually remove this stain. 11
