This can be stopped by opening the door and pressing any keypad.

Using the dishwasher Dishwasher Lighting Features (on some models) Interior Lights (on some models) The interior Xenon lights provide better visibility for loading and unloading. They turn on when the door is opened and turn off when the door is latched. The lights will turn off after 15 minutes if the door remains unlatched. To turn the lights back on, latch and open the door. Do not attempt to replace the bulbs. If light bulb replacement is necessary, please contact the GE Answer Center for service by calling 1.800.626.2000. End-of-Cycle Indicator Light (on some models) The end-of-cycle indicator light is located on the right side of the dishwasher, above the handle. This light comes on when the selected cycle is complete. The light will stay on until the door is opened. The dishes may be removed at any time. Note that the high-efficiency fan will run quietly for 30 minutes to 4 hours (depending on the selected cycle) after the end-of-cycle indicator light is illuminated to continue drying the dishes. Opening the door and pressing any keypad will stop the fan. The entering water must be at least 120°F (49°C) Check the water temperature with a candy or Water and not more than 150°F (66°C), for effective meat thermometer.

Use a Rinse Agent A rinse agent improves dry performance, reduces spots and prevents new film buildup on your dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware and plastic. Jet-Dry® and Cascade Crystal Clear® are recommended rinse agents for Monogram Dishwashers. The rinse agent dispenser holds 3.5 oz. of rinse agent. Under normal conditions, this will last approximately one month. Try to keep it full, but do not overfill. To fill the rinse agent dispenser, make sure the dishwasher door is fully open. Indicator window Dispenser cap Rotate the dispenser cap counterclockwise and lift it out. Add rinse agent until the indicator window shows full. Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a damp cloth. Replace the dispenser cap. The amount of rinse agent released into the final wash can be adjusted. The factory setting is at the midpoint. If there are rings of calcium (hard water) spots on dishes, try a higher setting. If there is foaming, use a lower setting. To adjust the setting, remove the dispenser cap; then turn the adjuster counterclockwise to increase the amount of rinse agent or clockwise to decrease the amount of rinse agent dispensed. Rinse agent adjuster Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Cascade®, Cascade Complete® and Electrasol® Automatic Dishwashing Detergents have been approved for use in all Monogram Dishwashers. Keep your powdered detergent fresh and dry. Don’t put detergent into the dispenser until you’re ready to wash dishes. All wash cycles except RINSE ONLY require detergent. The amount of detergent to use depends on whether your water is hard or soft. 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. The detergent cup has indicator lines to help you. Use the right amount of detergent. As a guide: For Soft water (water hardness less than 4 Grains Per Gallon [GPG]), fill cup to the first line. For Medium soft water (4–8 GPG), fill cup to the second line. For Medium hard water (8–12 GPG), fill cup. For Extremely hard water (more than 12 GPG), fill both cups. If the amount of food soil is high, use a bit more detergent. If water temperature is greater than 140°F, use a bit less detergent. Close cover and be sure it is latched after filling dispenser with detergent. Do not use hand dish detergent. NOTE: Using a detergent that is not specifically designed for dishwashers will cause the dishwasher to fill with suds. During operation, these suds will spill out of the dishwasher vents, covering the kitchen floor and making the floor wet. Because so many detergent containers look alike, store the dishwasher detergent in a separate space from all other cleaners. Show anyone who may use the dishwasher the correct detergent and where i...
