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 (as shown).
NOTE: PDW9700 and PDW9900 Series models also have a
latch screw which must be removed (Step 1) as shown.

WHEN USING YOUR DISHWASHER
■ CAUTION: Contents washed in Anti-Bacteria
cycle may be hot to the touch. Use care before unloading.
■ Use only powder, tabs, liquid detergents or rinse
agents recommended for use in a dishwasher
and keep them out of the reach of children.

rinse agents have been approved for use in all GE
dishwashers.
■ Use only liquid dishwasher detergent when using
the Smart Dispenser.
■ 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,
insure that the switch is on
prior to use.
■ If you choose to turn the
switch off between wash cycles, allow 5–10
seconds after turning the switch on before
touching the START/RESET pad to allow the
control to boot.
■ 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.
■ Non-Dishware Items: Do not wash items such as
electronic air cleaner filters, furnace filters and
paint brushes in your dishwasher. Damage to
dishwasher and discoloration or staining of
dishwasher may result.
■ Do not touch the heating element during or
immediately after use.
■ Do not operate your dishwasher unless all
enclosure panels are properly in place.
■ Close supervision is necessary if this appliance
is used by or near children.
■ Load light, plastic items so they will not
become dislodged and drop to the bottom of
the dishwasher—they might come into contact
with the heating element and be damaged.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
