IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire,
explosion, electric shock, and to prevent property damage, personal injury, or death.
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!
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose
as described in this Owner's Manual.
Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure
panels are properly in place.
Do not store or use combustible materials including
gasoline or other flammable liquids or vapors in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
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.

of your dishwasher unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other servicing
