Protect
Against
Freezing
If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place during the winter, ask a service technician to:
1. Cut off electrical power to the dishwasher. Remove fuses or trip circuit breaker.
2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet line from the water valve.
3. Drain water from the water inlet line and water valve. (Use a pan to catch the water.)
4. Reconnect the water inlet line to the water valve.
The Air
Gap
An air gap protects your dishwasher against
water backing up into it if a drain clogs. The air
gap is not a part of the dishwasher. It is not
covered by your warranty. Not all plumbing
codes require air gaps, so you may not have one.
The air gap is easy to clean.
1. Turn off the dishwasher and lift off the
chrome cover.
2. Unscrew the plastic cap and clean with
a toothpick.
Interior
The stainless steel used to make the dishwasher tub and inner door provides the highest reliability
available in a GE dishwasher. If the dishwasher tub or inner door should be scratched or dented
during normal use, they will not rust or corrode. These surface blemishes will not affect their
function or durability.
Check the air gap any time your dishwasher
isn’t draining well.
