Operating Instructions Safety InstructionsConsumer Support Troubleshooting Tips

Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.
If the hot water has not been used for two weeks or more, 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 which is 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 or use an open flame or appliance during this process.
WATER HEATER SAFETY
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.
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 GEAppliances.com.
Connect to a grounded metal, permanent
wiring system; or run an equipment­grounding conductor with the circuit conductors and connect to the equipment­grounding terminal or lead of the appliance.
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Use supply conductors rated at least 75°C
(167°F).
Dispose of discarded appliances and shipping
or packing material properly.
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part
of your dishwasher unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
To minimize the possibility of electric shock,
disconnect this appliance from the power supply before attempting any maintenance. NOTE: Turning the dishwasher off does not disconnect the appliance from the power supply. We recommend having a qualified technician service your appliance.

Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door
or dish rack of the dishwasher.

PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE DISHWASHER
Junked or abandoned dishwashers are dangerous…even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of your old dishwasher, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Dishwasher:
Take off the door of the washing compartment or remove the door latch keeper (as shown).
WARNING! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
WHEN USING YOUR DISHWASHER
CAUTION: Contents washed in
Anti-Bacteria cycle may be hot to the touch. Use care before unloading.
Use only powder, tabs, liquid detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher and keep them out of the reach of children. Cascade®, Cascade®Complete and Electrasol®Automatic Dishwashing Detergents, and Jet-Dry®and Cascade Rinse
Aid®rinse agents have been approved for use
in all GE dishwashers.
Using a detergent that is not specifically designed for dishwashers will cause the dishwasher to fill with suds.
Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal.
Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
Do not wash plastic items unless marked dishwasher safe or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Non-Dishware Items: Do not wash items such as electronic air cleaner filters, furnace filters and paint brushes in your dishwasher. Damage to dishwasher and discoloration or staining of dishwasher may result.
Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.
Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.
Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is used by or near children.
Load light, plastic items so they will not become dislodged and drop to the bottom of the dishwasher—they might come into contact with the heating element and be damaged.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
