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 GEAppliances.com. In Canada, visit www.GEAppliances.ca.
Ŷ 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.
Ŷ
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.
Ŷ
Detailed grounding instructions can be found in the “PREPARE
ELECTRICAL WIRING” section of the Installation Instructions.
Ŷ
Consider recycling options for your appliance packaging material.
Ŷ 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.
Ŷ
Use only cord kit WX09X70910 (5.4 ft) or WX09X70911 (7.9 ft) or
hard-wire to
building electrical. Failure to follow this instruction, could
result in risk of fire and personal injury.
Ŷ 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.
WHEN USING YOUR DISHWASHER, FOLLOW BASIC PRECAUTIONS,
INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
WATER HEATER SAFETY
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 allowing 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.

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 dishwasher,
please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.
Ŷ Do not allow children to play with, on, or inside this or any discarded appliance.
Ŷ Take off the door of the washing compartment.
WARNING
Proper Disposal of your Appliance
Ŷ
Dispose of or recycle your appliance in accordance with Federal and Local Regulations. Contact your local authorities for the
environmentally safe disposal or recycling of your appliance.
TO PREVENT MINOR INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE
Ŷ During or after wash cycle, contents may be hot to the touch.
Use care before handling.
Ŷ Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is used by or near
children. Do not allow children to play around the dishwasher when
closing the door, closing the upper rack, or while vertically adjusting
the upper rack due to the possibility of small fingers being pinched.
Ŷ Non-Dishware Items: Do not wash items such as electronic air cleaner
filters, furnace filters and paint brushes in your dishwasher. Damage to
the dishwasher and discoloration or staining of the dishwasher may result.
Ŷ Load light-weight, plastic items so they do not become dislodged
and drop to the bottom of the dishwasher—they might come into
contact with the heating element and be damaged.
