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 keeper (as shown).

Safety Instructions

Operating Instructions

■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.

■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.
