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, explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

WATER HEATER SAFETY

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.

4

Use your dishwasher 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 calling us toll-free at the GE Answer Center®, 800.626.2000.

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.

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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

DO NOT…

Do not tamper with controls.

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

Do not discard a dishwasher without first removing the door of the washing compartment.

Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Do not allow children to play inside, on or with this appliance or any discarded appliance.

6

WHEN USING YOUR DISHWASHER

Use only powder or liquid detergents or wetting agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.

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.

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.
