n
n Connect the dishwasher/appliance to a grounded metal,
permanent wiring system; or run an equipment-ground-
ing conductor with the circuit conductors and connect to
the equipment-grounding terminal or lead of the appli-
ance.
n
n Improper connection of the equipment-grounding con-
ductor 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.
n
n Dispose of discarded appliances and shipping
or packing material properly.
n
n 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.
n
n To minimize the possibility of electric shock, disconnect
this appliance from the power supply before attempting
any maintenance.

appliance from the power supply. We recommend having
a qualified technician service your appliance.
WARNING!
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 es-
cape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke, use an open flame, or use the appliance during this process.
n
n Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
n
n Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as de-
scribed in this Owner’s Manual.

Automatic Dishwashing Detergents have been ap-
proved for use in all GE dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Don’t put powder detergent into the dispenser until
you’re ready to wash dishes. The amount of detergent to use depends on whether your water is hardor soft. With hard water,
you need extra detergent. With soft water, you need less detergent. Protect your dishes and dishwasher by contacting your
water department and asking how hard your water is.
Proper Use of Detergent
DO NOT USE HAND
D
ISH DETERGENT
NOTE: Using a detergent that is not specifically designed for dishwashers
will cause the dishwasher to fill with suds. During operation, these suds will
spill out of the dishwasher vents, covering the kitchen floor and making the
