Common Questions
30 totalWhat do the flashing display lights mean and what should I do when they appear?
Flashing lights indicate different errors depending on which light is flashing. A flashing Sensing light indicates a CleanSensor error — the dishwasher will continue to work but you should call for service. A flashing Rinsing light with a beeping sound indicates a Control Error — press START/RESET to turn off the beeper, then turn off power at the circuit breaker for 10 seconds and restore power; if it continues, call for service. A flashing Washing and Rinsing light with beeping indicates a Control or Sequence Switch Error — press START/RESET to attempt a reset, then restart the wash cycle. (Page 6)
How do I reset or cancel a cycle on the EDW3000 dishwasher?
Touch the START/RESET pad to cancel a cycle after washing has started. Allow approximately 90 seconds for the dishwasher to drain and reset before selecting a new cycle. After the water is pumped out and the motor stops, you can reprogram and restart the dishwasher. (Page 5)
What water temperature is required for effective cleaning?
The entering water must be at least 120°F and not more than 150°F for effective cleaning and to prevent dish damage. You can check the water temperature using a candy or meat thermometer by running hot water from the nearest faucet into a glass until the temperature stops rising. If the temperature is below 120°F, raise your water heater temperature accordingly. (Page 6)
How do I add a forgotten dish after the cycle has already started?
A forgotten dish can be added any time before the main wash begins. Push the door latch to the left, wait for the water to calm, then open the door — be aware that steam may rise out. Add the forgotten dish, close the door, and push the latch to the far right to resume the cycle. (Page 7)
How do I use the Delay Start feature on the dishwasher?
Press the DELAY START pad to choose the number of hours (up to 8 hours) you want to delay the start of the cycle. The machine will count down and start automatically at the correct time. Pressing the START/RESET pad will cancel the DELAY START selection. Note that if you forget to latch the door, a reminder signal will beep until you do so. (Page 5)
How do I remove spots and film from glasses and flatware?
Use Jet-Dry® rinse agent to remove spots and prevent new film buildup on dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware, and plastic. To remove stubborn pre-existing film from glassware, run the longest cycle without detergent, and after 18–22 minutes (during the main wash), open the door and pour 2 cups of white vinegar into the bottom of the dishwasher, then allow the cycle to complete. If the vinegar rinse doesn't work, repeat the process using 1/4 cup of citric acid crystals instead of vinegar. (Page 14)

Warning!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or death. Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning on all hot water faucets and allow them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical appliance which is connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will allow any built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or appliance during this process.Water Heater Safety

Proper Disposal Of The Dishwasher
Junked or abandoned dishwashers are dangerous…even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of your old dishwasher, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents. Before You Throw Away Your Old Dishwasher: ITake off the door of the washing compartment or remove the door latch keeper (as shown).Warning! Risk Of Child Entrapment
When Using Your Dishwasher
IUse only powder, tabs, liquid detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher and keep them out of the reach of children. Cascade®, Cascade Complete® and Electrasol® Automatic Dishwashing Detergents, and Jet-Dry® rinse agent have been approved for use in all GE dishwashers. ILocate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal. ILoad sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries. IDo not wash plastic items unless marked dishwasher-safe or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendations. INon-Dishware Items: Do not wash items such as electronic air cleaner filters, furnace filters and paint brushes in your dishwasher. Damage to dishwasher and discoloration or staining of dishwasher may result. IDo not touch the heating element during or immediately after use. IDo not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place. IClose supervision is necessary if this appliance is used by or near children. ILoad light, plastic items so they will not become dislodged and drop to the bottom of the dishwasher—they might come into contact with the heating element and be damaged.Read And Follow This Safety Information Carefully.

Forget to Add a Dish? A forgotten dish can be added any time before the main wash. Push the door latch to the left. Once the water calms, open the door. Steam may rise out of the dishwasher. Add forgotten dishes. Close the door and push the latch to the far right. 4 3 2 1 Proper Use of Detergent Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Cascade®, Cascade® Complete and Electrasol® Automatic Dishwashing Detergents have been approved for use in all GE dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Don’t put powder detergent into the dispenser until you’re ready to wash dishes. The amount of detergent to use depends on whether your water is hard or soft. With hard water, you need extra detergent. With soft water, you need less detergent. Protect your dishes and dishwasher by contacting your water department and asking how hard your water is. Twelve or more grains is extremely hard water. A water softener is recommended. Without it, lime can build up in the water valve, which could stick while open and cause flooding. Too much detergent with soft water can cause a permanent cloudiness of glassware, called etching. You’ll find two detergent dispensers on the inside door of your dishwasher. All wash cycles–except RINSE ONLY–require detergent in the main cup. Wash cycles with two washes will also use the open cup. When using automatic dishwashing detergent tabs, simply place one tab in the main cup and close. NOTE: To open detergent cup after it has been closed, unlatch the door. Press the START/RESET pad three times within two seconds and the detergent cup will release. A snapping sound may be heard. Open cup Main cup 7 Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Operating Instructions Safety Instructions GEAppliances.com Using the Dishwasher Door The door must be closed and locked into place to select a LOAD SELECTION or an OPTION. If the door is opened during a cycle and left open, the dishwasher will beep once every minute until the door is closed and latched into place. 2 1
Loading the dishwasher racks. Operating Instructions Safety Instructions Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips 8 For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and silverware baskets may vary from your model. Upper Rack Although the upper rack is for glasses, cups and saucers, pots and pans can be placed in this rack for effective cleaning. Cups and glasses fit best along the sides. This is also a secure place for dishwasher-safe plastics. The cup shelf (on some models) may be placed in the up or down position to add flexibility. The upper rack is good for all kinds of odd-shaped utensils. Saucepans, mixing bowls and other items should be placed face down. Secure larger dishwasher-safe plastics over two fingers when possible. Make sure small plastic items are secure so they can’t fall onto the heater. Be sure that items do not protrude through the bottom of the rack and block rotation of the middle spray arm. This could result in poor wash performance for items in the upper rack. Check to make sure that tall items will not block rotation of the top wash arm. The Wash Tower Keep the center area clear in the lower rack. The wash tower rises through the center of the lower rack during the wash and rinse portions of the cycle. The wash tower shoots water into the mid-level wash arm located under the upper rack. Blocking the wash tower could result in poor wash performance for items in the upper rack. Don’t block or load tall things next to the Wash Tower. Lower Rack When loading the lower rack, do not load large platters or trays in the front right corner. They may prevent detergent from circulating during the wash cycle. The lower rack is best used for plates, saucers and cookware. Large items such as broiler pans and racks should go along the right-hand side. Load platters, pots and bowls along the sides, in corners, or in the back. The soiled side of items should face the center of the rack. If necessary, oversized glasses and mugs can be placed in the lower rack to maximize loading flexibility. Also, be careful not to let a portion of an item such as a pot or dish handle extend through the bottom rack. This could block the wash arm and result in poor wash performance. Fold-down fingers (on some models) provide flexibility for extra-large and hard-to-fit items. The fingers may be left in the up position or folded down to customize the lower rack.
9 Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Operating Instructions Safety Instructions Silverware Basket Put flatware in the removable basket with knife handles up to protect your hands. Place spoons in the basket with handles down. Mix knives, forks and spoons so they don’t nest together. Distribute evenly. Small plastic items, such as measuring spoons and lids from small containers, should go in the bottom of the silverware basket with silverware on top. Lids can be assembled to either end of the silverware basket to contain small items. To assemble an end lid, place the outer lid stud into the hole on the outside of the silverware basket. Then place the inside lid stud into the inner hole in the silverware basket. Repeat for other side if desired. Long items can be placed on the cupshelf in the upper rack. The silverware basket can be placed in the front, side or back of the lower rack. The accessory basket (on some models) can hold small items such as: baby bottle nipples, plastic lids, corn cob holders, etc. It can hang from the top hoop of the upper rack along the right side or it can also hang on the right or left side of the lower rack. When hanging the accessory basket on the right side in the upper rack, make sure the top is closed and nothing is sticking out. Don’t let any item extend through bottom. GEAppliances.com

11 Caring for the dishwasher. GEAppliances.com To clean the control panel use a lightly dampened cloth then dry thoroughly. To clean the exterior use a good appliance polish. Never use sharp object, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher. If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place during the winter, ask a service technician to: Cut off electrical power to the dishwasher. Remove fuses or trip circuit breaker. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet line from the water valve. Drain water from the inlet line and water valve. (Use a pan to catch the water.) Reconnect the water inlet line to the water valve. Remove the plastic sump cover in the tub bottom and use a sponge to soak up water in the rubber boot. 5 4 3 2 1 Sump cover screws 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.
