WARNING! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
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!
■ Use this appliance only for its intended purpose
as described in this Owner's Manual.
■ 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 ® and
Cascade Rinse Aid ® rinse agents 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.
■ Do not touch the heating element during or
immediately after use.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION
CAREFULLY.
