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 Hotpoint.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.
