IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

A WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire,
explosion, electric shock, and to prevent property damage, personal injury, or death.

A WARNING! WATER HEATER SAFETY

Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used
for two or more weeks. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.

If the hot water has not been used for two or more weeks, prevent the possibility of damage or injury
by turning on all hot water faucets and allow them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any
electrical appliance connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will allow any built-up
hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke, use an open flame, or use the appliance
during this process.

This dishwasher must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation
Instructions before it is used. If you did not receive an Installation Instructions sheet with
your dishwasher, you can receive one by visiting our website at ge.com.

I Connect the dishwasher/appliance to a grounded

metal, permanent wiring system; or run an

I Do not attempt to repair or replace any part

of your dishwasher unless it is specifically
