WATER HEATER SAFETY
PROPER INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
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.
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part
of your dishwasher unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other servicing
should be referred to a qualified technician.
To minimize the possibility of electric shock,
disconnect this appliance from the power supply
before attempting any maintenance.
NOTE: Turning the dishwasher off does not
disconnect the appliance from the power supply. We
recommend having a qualified technician service
your appliance.
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 allow 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.
Contents washed in Wash Temp Boost or Wash
Temp Sani mode, if available, may be hot to the
touch. Use care before handling.
Using a detergent that is
not specifically designed for
dishwashers will cause the
dishwasher to fill with suds.
If your dishwasher is
connected to a wall switch, ensure that
the switch is on prior to use.
On dishwashers with electronic controls,
if you choose to turn the wall switch
off between wash cycles, allow 5-10
seconds after turning the switch on
before touching START to allow the control to
initialize.
Non-Dishware Items: Do not wash items such
as electronic air cleaner filters, furnace filters
and paint brushes in your dishwasher. Damage
to the dishwasher and discoloration or staining
of the dishwasher may result.
Close supervision is necessary if this appliance
is used by or near children.
Load light, plastic items so they do not become
dislodged and drop to the bottom of the
dishwasher—they might come into contact with
the heating element and be damaged.
CAUTION: To prevent minor injury and property damage
