WARNING! 

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

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

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.

WATER HEATER SAFETY

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

PROPER INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE

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 

GEAppliances.com.

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.

Use supply conductors rated at least 75°C
(167°F).

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.
