Q: Can you get this item without the pink ring on the handle ?
A: Yes, it can be removed; my husband just easily did it! He first googled if one could remove the copper ring off the Cafe dishwasher. It gave him instructions of how to go about removing it. There’s a little set-screw on the back-side of each end of the handle Unscrew them until the handle comes off. (don’t let handle swing or it will scratch your dishwasher). Next, unscrew the set-screw on the back-side of the copper ring. Next, slip the ring off the handle. Next, hold the handle in position and screw the set-screw back in the handle. Done! Looks great!
Q: What are the length of the Cycle Times?
A: To answer your question; no matter what cycle I choose: Auto, Normal, or Express, the dishwasher shows on the display 3:42 hrs per cycle and that’s what it takes. No speedy cycle here. Pls. read below. CONS: the display is very sensitive to the touch; the grids on the bottom tray are large in corners and handles of pans can fall through and prevent the propellers to work efficiently or harm them and need to be replaced; the upper tray comes out only half way making a little difficult to put dishes in. This high-end dishwasher should have had at least 46 decibels and not 39, in comparison with my old one at 46 decibels which is very quiet, this one is a little bit noisy. PROS: I love the upper third tray that holds the silverware, does a good job and it is easy to put silverware and else in and out; the trays have a collapsable pegs to allow for bigger dishes to fit in; it comes with other collapsable features to hold wine glasses and a few pegs that squirt water to wash bottles. The outside of the dishwasher is stylish and the tub well finished. The most important thing is about if a dishwasher does a good job or not and this one certainly DOES, that’s why I kept it. Since mid-November 2022 we have been enjoying clean dishes and squeaky clean glassware, it does a great job…! I filled the reservoir with “Finish” rinse aid in mid-November and it had lasted all this time with great washes. I also use Cascade Platinum. I wash the dishes before going to bed and let it do its job with its long cycles. Hope this helps.
Q: Is this model fingerprint proof? If not does the Cafe line have a dishwasher that is?
A: This is not finger print proof. I have this model and in the first year I had 6 service calls from GE. GE service is horrendous. If you decide to buy this, also get an extended warranty.
