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).
WARNING! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
■ 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.
■ Using a detergent that is not specifically
designed for dishwashers will cause the
dishwasher to fill with suds.
■ 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.
