The GE Profile Ultra Fresh System Dishwasher was engineered to stay fresher and cleaner. Microban technology is built into high-use touchpoints, such as the sleek edge-to-edge exterior handle, touch capacitance controls, and signature GE Profile blue interior elements, preventing 99% of bacteria. Between cycles, the dishwasher circulates fresh air and renews water through Microban-treated filtration to help prevent the growth of odor-causing bacteria. Consumers can use the steam and sanitize option to loosen tough soils before the wash cycle begins. Plus, a sanitization cycle reduces 99% of bacteria on dishes.
