Care and cleaning
Filter Assembly
Inspect and clean the filters periodically. This should be done every month or more depending on usage. If there is a
decrease in wash performance or dishes feel gritty, this is also an indication the filters need to be cleaned.
To clean the filter assembly, remove the bottom
rack and lower spray arm. Twist the filter assembly
counterclockwise and lift to remove. Remove the filter
plate.
Lower
Spray Arm
Rinse the filters with warm soapy water. Scouring pads
or brushes can scratch the filter surfaces but a soft brush
or sponge may be needed to remove stubborn soils or
calcium deposits caused by hard water.
Once cleaned, replace the filter plate, insert the filter
assembly through the plate and twist it clockwise until
it locks in place. Make sure the filters are fully seated
as improper replacement of the filters may reduce the
performance level of the appliance. Replace the lower
spray arm and lower rack.
Stainless Steel Inner Door and Tub
The stainless steel used to make the dishwasher tub and
inner door provides the highest reliability available in a
GE Appliances dishwasher.

If the dishwasher tub or inner door should be scratched
or dented during normal use, they will not rust or
corrode. These surface blemishes will not affect their
function or durability.
