What detergent can be used? Is Cascade liquid detergent okay or does it have to be gel packs?

Hi there - that’s a great question! You may use tablet, packet, powder, liquid or gel automatic dishwasher detergent. Make sure you use only detergents specifically labeled for use in automatic dishwashers. Never use liquid hand dish detergent in an automatic dishwasher. Sudsing and poor wash performance will result with the use of improper detergents. -- Cascade® Platinum™ ActionPacs™ or Finish® Quantum® Automatic Dishwashing Detergent, and Cascade® Platinum™ Power Dry™ Rinse Aid or Finish® Jet-Dry® Rinse Aid rinse agents have been approved for use in all GE Appliances dishwashers. We hope this helps in your decision making and please let us know if there is anything else you have questions about. Have a wonderful day! Lauren@GEA
