GE Profile Quiet Power 7 Owners Manual

Prior to the first use, the dishwasher needs to 
be calibrated for water hardness. Please follow
directions below to calibrate the dishwasher to 
the hardness of your tap water.

should find a water hardness test strip package. Read
the instructions on the package, remove the test strip
and follow the instructions to determine the hardness
level of your tap water. You will use this information to

Lower Rack
The lower rack is best used for plates, saucers
and cookware. Large items such as broiler
pans and baking racks should go along the
left-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....

Removing the Upper Rack
Your new dishwasher has the capability to
wash extra large items in the lower rack. This
is accomplished by removing the upper rack
and installing a nozzle over the port that
normally supplies water to the upper rack.
The nozzle is not included with your
dishwasher, but is available for purchase from
GE. Call GE at 1.800.626.2002 or go to the GE
website ge.com and request Nozzle Spray
