Safety InformationOperating InstructionsTroubleshooting TipsCustomer Service

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.

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

This dishwasher must be properly installed and located in

appliance is properly

grounded.

■Dispose of discarded

appliances and shipping or

to a qualified technician.

■To minimize the possibility of

electric shock, disconnect this

WARNING!

Customer ServiceTroubleshooting TipsOperating InstructionsSafety Information

WHEN USING YOUR DISHWASHER

■Use only powder, tabs or

liquid detergents or wetting

agents recommended for use

in a dishwasher and keep

them out of the reach of

children. Cascade®

Automatic Dishwashing

Detergent has 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.
