For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire,
explosion, electric shock, and 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
or more weeks. HydrOGEn GAS IS ExplOSIvE.
If the hot water has not been used for two or more weeks, 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 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, use an open flame, or use the 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 GEAppliances.com. In Canada, visit www.GEAppliances.ca.
Connect the dishwasher/appliance 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.
CAuTIOn:
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 initialize.
