. . . to Dishwashercrazy. They're fun machines and do a pretty good job if the water is hot enough. It's not automatic. You tell it what to do. Jerry Gay |

Here is the Instruction Sheet for operating the RA-949 GE Portable Dishwasher. I have a video that I took the first time that I ran my RA-949, but it is unedited and has only my spoken commentary - there are no screen notes edited into the video. Plus, it is only an exterior view - no water action was included. I will upload it, and attach. Thanks to Jerry for giving me this dishwasher, and the instruction sheet. Mike |

Here is my Unedited Video that I made in 2010. This video lasts 25 minutes. The first half shows the very first water test that I ran on this dishwasher after I brought it home. For the second half of the video, I continued recording, added dishes and ran the machine through a complete cycle according to the instruction sheet. In the second half of the video, you most likely will want to fast forward through portions of the video, such as during the 5 minute wash portion, as I did not speak yet I continued to record.

OH! I love these machines!! I don't use mine regularly but it does a decent job in my opinion.
The trick with these machines is that it is not automatic... The operator of the machine controls when the machine fills, how long it washes, and when the machine drains. I'm not sure if the operating instructions came up in the Automatic Ephemera library already... The 'basic' operation suggested was a 5-minute wash followed by 2 rinses (I think it was suggest to rinse for 2 minutes). When I used the machine, I gave dis hes a 5-minute prewash, two 4-minute rinses, a 9-minute main wash, then three 4-minute rinses. Don't forget that you'll have to add detergent manually when you want a 'wash' period in the cycle. Oh, and there is no heated dry with this model; you just open the lid and let the dishes air-dry. Hope this helps!! |
