This was mentioned briefly in another thread, but I thought we should capture the images for our archives. Look how cute this is, probably from around 1965...

nice close-up on the graphics
The cursive script is rare indeed and I love the mini-antenna-dish main dial, aka, flying saucer if you're from Melrose.
PS: The Wash Only is interesting. Can't remember seeing it before on a dishwasher, only on combos.

Very interesting model. I never saw one like this before. The interior looks just like the 1972 portable we had. Anyone with brochures would be appreciated.
Also the box of cascade brings back memomeries with the picture of the Whale on top.

Wow! pretty girl--oh, and the hair band, too !
Thanks Ken. Wondering if it was more common than I thought, available in other brands as well. I would like to have that feature to keep the kitchen cooler in the summer.
Interesting that the P &P cycle has only one wash and is shorter than the regular cycle. What's going on there? I'm just thinking about Bob Appnut and how he'd know the answer.

Interesting. The Pots & Pans cycle is shorter than the regular wash cycle and offers only a single wash. Would I be correct in interpreting the copy to suggest that the P&P cycle be run first, followed by the regular wash cycle?

HI Ralph
I just re-read the text slowly and it seems to say that this cycle does the job, but I can't imagine how.
Synchronistic telepathy: I went back and added the sentence that is almost identical to yours to my post as you were writing yours. Love it when that happens.

Hello Bob-Appnut ??? Bob,,, We need you now !!!

Funny to me in that the WASH ONLY was "POTS & PANS" with some earlier machines in that the machine was meant to do 90% of the work, then YOU'd scrub what was not removed by the machine
The lack of a heated dry was intended to prevent burning-on /baking-on resides that were not removed in the wash.
To me, this POTS & PANS cycle should have been "LIGHT WASH",or perhaps was intended for pots already scrubbed and intended to be de-greased in a hot dishwasher.
Were good-quality stainless-steel pots & pans popular back then? One would think that much cookware was aluminum and not dishwasher-safe.

Seems "wash only" equivalent to today's "energy saver dry".
But P&P being shorter than 'regular' really contradicts.

It seems with only half an upper wash arm, that means fewer holes so more water pressure.
"Scientfillay aimed holes" and "filtered washing". Seems like GE designed this machine well. Wow.
Anyone have one of these, and can tell how well they washed??

Stainless steel cookware
Hey Steve, nearly everyone I knew at the time had either Revere, Farberware, Ekco Flint, or Regalware stainless. I remember buying my mom an aluminum saucepan with Teflon coating for a present. She used it occasionly, but it didn't retain it's looks for long. I got the impression that aluminum pots & pans were mainly for those who couldn't afford anything better.

These old cycle not only made more sense, they were, by toda
The Pots and Pans cycle on the GE Pull-outs was similar in that it was a very short cycle with no heated dry and extra water for more forceful spray. The explanation in the manual was that it was specifically for METAL pots and pans and designed to wash off MOST of the soil without cooking any of it on with excessive heat. It acted like the cycles on the warewashers we use in restaurants. I give them credit here because they weren't (yet) trying to make a claim that the machine would be able to wash cookware perfectly. The idea was to loosen and remove as much gunk as possible, admitting that the user would maybe need to give the stuff a quick scrub afterwards. It's actually how I use my dishwasher now for pots and pans. I find it very useful to run everything through, get it all out of the way, and if I have to wash a few bits of food off later, big freakin' deal. If one used the cycle, as described, it was quite useful in getting rid a lot of the stuff you used to prepare the meal.
There was also, on the SU-70 series a "HEAVY SOIL" cycle that was longer than any other (1 extra pre-rinse than "NORMAL SOIL") and used those same 3 extra pints of water with a heated dry.

Here's another explanation of the 4 cycles:
I always use the Chrystal/China cycle after we throw on of our "bridge parties or afternoon teas" lol.
I love the Rinse & Hold cycle
on my KDS-14! use it everyday until I have a full unit. Wash only would be cool, like Scrub cycle for those roasting pans.
Neat buttons on that machine but the 60¢ Giant Size Cascade is to dye for! Love the scent that had , smells like home after dinner!
