1958 GE DW instruction booklet needed

[ken]

Hello all,

New member and first time poster here. Really enjoy the discussions and info to be found here. I recently aqcuired a 58 GE dishwasher (under cabinet model) and would like to find a user manual for it. Or even a copy of one. Any chance someone here might have one?

Subtle hint:

It's really amazing what can happen when you post pictures (lots of pictures, interior, exterior, parts, rating plates, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">etc.)</span> of a dishwasher like yours on a thread like this. Really amazing.

Yes, I realized that myself as I posted my question but Im currently at the office. I plan on posting some pictures of it as soon as I can.

I shouldn't torment a new member:

This should have been a Daily Doctrine entry, but I don't have the original. This was sent to me by some other very kind member, I'm betting someone from Ohio, but I can't remember.

page 9, my favorite, I just love this Rube Goldberg magnetic detergent dispenser that they used until 1959:

OK, I have to go meet somebody for dinner, you have enough to run your first load. When I get back, I'll post the other half of the manual that covers all the possible problems and maintenance stuff. Here's page 11 and I'll be back later:

Thank you Paul. I remembered Mr. Droplet, but had forgotten his first name. Our manual did not feature a princess, but I read it out loud and my mother was alive so that was almost the same thing.

Thank you

Ken,

Many thanks for the booklet images. What year model would it pertain to? Im sure most info in it would also cover mine even though it's a little older.

Mine has a large handle to lock the lid in place and the control knob is located in the face of the door. I'll post some pictures of it this weekend.

Ken

Added a link to a picture that shows the model I have.
