WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, and to prevent property damage, personal injury, or death.

WARNING! WATER HEATER SAFETY

Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.

If the hot water has not been used for two weeks or more, 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 which is 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 or use an open flame or appliance during this process.

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 ge.com.

Troubleshooting Tips

■Connect 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.

CAUTION: To prevent minor injury or property damage

Consumer Support

■Contents washed in Anti-bacterial 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/RESET to allow the control to

2reboot.

■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.

■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.
