WARNING!
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire
or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or death.
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.
PROPER INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
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 equipment-grounding
conductor with the circuit conductors and
connect to the equipment-grounding terminal
or lead of the appliance.
■ I
mproper connection of the equipmentgrounding 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.

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
■ 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®rinse agent have
been approved for use in all GE dishwashers.
■ 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.

Choosing
a cycle other than NORMAL WASH will save energy and water.
SHORT WASH For quickly washing loads of everyday dishes with medium soils
that have not dried on, such as loads consisting
mostly of glasses.
LIGHT WASH For dishes with light soils.
RINSE ONLY For rinsing partial loads that will be washed later. Do not use detergent.
PLATE WARMER For warming clean dishes and serving plates. This cycle will take approximately 30 minutes.
HOT START Preheats wash water to the correct temperature.
Start
Slowly turn t
he Dial to the START or ON position, or the selected cycle. Don’t turn it past the START, ON
or cycle position, or you could accidentally miss a rinse.
There is a time delay between start-up and water fill so you will not hear any wash action right away.
■ Latch the door to begin the cycle.
