WHEN USING YOUR DISHWASHER

Safety Instructions

Operating Instructions

■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. Cascade,® Cascade Complete® and Electrasol® Automatic Dishwashing Detergents and Jet-Dry®rinse agent have been approved for use in

all GE dishwashers.

■Using a detergent that is not specifically designed for dishwashers will cause the dishwasher to fill with suds.

■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.
