IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
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 allowing 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 escape. Since the gas is flammable,
do not smoke, use an open flame, or use the appliance during this process.
WARNING!
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
GEAppliances.com. In Canada, visit www.GEAppliances.ca.
Connect the dishwasher/appliance 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.
WARNING!
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as
described in this Owner's Manual.
Use only detergents or wetting agents
recommended for use in a dishwasher
and keep them out of reach of children.
Using a detergent that is not specifically
designed for dishwashers will cause the
dishwasher to fill with suds.
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.
