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

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.

WARNING!

Customer ServiceTroubleshooting TipsOperating InstructionsSafety Information

Use your dishwasher only for its intended purpose as

described in this Owner’s Manual.

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 equipment-

grounding conductor with

the circuit conductors and

connect to the equipment-

grounding 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

specifically recommended

in this manual. All other

servicing should be referred

to a qualified technician.

■To minimize the possibility of

electric shock, disconnect this

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

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.

■Colored aluminum, cast iron,

hand-painted china, wooden,

plastic, rubber and bone-

handled items which are not

marked dishwasher-safe or

equivalent should be washed

by hand.

Read and follow this

Safety Information carefully.

Wash Cycles

POTS & PANS For heavily soiled dishes or cookware with dried-on

or baked-on soils. Everyday dishes may be included.

This cycle will not remove burned-on foods.

NORMAL WASH For loads of everyday dishes, glasses and cookware with

medium soils.

NOTE:

Many dishes have lighter soil than

normal. Choosing a cycle other than

will save energy and water.

LIGHT WASH For dishes with light soils.

RINSE & HOLD For rinsing partial loads that will be washed later.

Do not use detergent or HEATED DRY ON.

Start

Slowly turn the Dial to the

desired

position on the Dial after

selecting the drying option. Don’t turn it past that 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.

Using the dishwasher.

Check the Water Temperature

The entering water must be at least 120°F. and not more than 150°F.,

for effective cleaning and to prevent dish damage. Check the water

temperature with a candy or meat thermometer. Turn on the hot

water faucet nearest the dishwasher, place the thermometer in a glass

and let the water run continuously into the glass until the temperature

stops rising.

Use Jet-Dry

Rinse Agent

Jet-Dry

rinse agent removes spots and prevents new film build-up on

your dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware and plastic.

A dispenser, located next to the detergent

cup, automatically releases a measured

amount of rinse aid during the last rise.

If spotting and poor drying are problems,

increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed

y rotating the dial to a higher number.

The dial is located under the dispenser

cap. The indicator will be dark when full

and will show clear when it is time to refill.

To add liquid rinse aid, turn dispenser cap

1/4 turn counterclockwise

and lift out. Pour

in rinse aid until liquid touches the indicated

fill level. Replace the cap.

A full dispenser should last about one month.

If rinse agent spills, wipe up the excess.
