Okay, here are the steps for using a GE front load dishwasher, based on the provided reference.
Using your GE front load dishwasher is a simple process involving loading, adding detergent, selecting options, and starting the cycle. Follow these steps to ensure sparkling clean dishes.
Step 1: Load Dishes Properly
Begin by loading your dishes into the dishwasher racks. As specified in the reference, you should "Load your dishwasher with dishes, silverware, pots, pans, bowls, etc. according to the Loading section." Proper loading allows water and detergent to reach all items effectively.
- Ensure larger items don't block the spray arms.
- Place silverware in the basket, usually handle down for forks and spoons, blade down for knives (check your manual).
- Position glasses and cups securely on the top rack.
Step 2: Add Detergent
Add the correct type and amount of dishwasher detergent.
- "Add detergent to the detergent dispenser."
- Crucially, as the reference states: "Make sure the Cycle Indicator Dial is at OFF position before adding detergent."
Step 3: Select Drying Option
Choose how you want your dishes dried. The reference mentions selecting a drying option.
- "Select drying option."
- One common option, noted in the reference, is "HEATED DRY." Select this or another available drying option based on your preference and dishware type.
Step 4: Select Cycle and Start
Choose the wash cycle appropriate for the soil level of your load and then start the appliance.
- "Select the cycle and start dishwasher."
- Common cycles include Normal, Heavy, or Light wash. Select the one that best fits the load's needs.
- Press the start button or close the door firmly (depending on your model) to begin the cycle.
Following these steps, your GE front load dishwasher will proceed to clean your dishes effectively.
