WARNING! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE DISHWASHER

Safety

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 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: CDW9000 Series and PDW9200–PDW9900 Series models also have a latch screw which must be removed (Step 1) as shown.

WARNING! When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:

Operating Instructions

■Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner's Manual.

■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®and Cascade Crystal Clear® rinse agents have been approved for use in all GE dishwashers.

■On models with the SmartDispense™ system, do not mix any chlorine bleach-based automatic dishwashing detergent with any dishwashing detergent containing enzymes as this could cause the detergents to congeal and lead to blockage of the SmartDispenseTM system.

■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.

■Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.

■Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.

■Do not tamper with controls.

■Do not abuse, sit on or stand on the door or dish rack of the dishwasher.

■Do not allow children to play around dishwasher when opening or closing door due to the possibility of small fingers being pinched in door.

■Do not discard a dishwasher without first removing the door of the washing compartment or the door latch.

■Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

■Do not allow children to play with, on or inside this appliance or any discarded appliance.
