WATER HEATER SAFETY
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. 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.
„ 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.
WARNING!
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.
CAUTION: ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
„ This appliance must be supplied with 120V, 60 Hz, and
connected to an individual, properly grounded branch
circuit protected by a 15 or 20 amp circuit breaker or
time-delay fuse.
„ If the electric supply provided does not meet the above
specifications, it is recommended that a licensed
electrician install an approved electrical connection.
„ Your dishwasher circuit should not be used for
any other appliance while the dishwasher is in
operation as the dishwasher requires the full
capacity of the circuit.
„ If the wall receptacle you plug the dishwasher’s
power cord into is controlled by a switch, turn on
the switch.
„ Use this appliance only for its intended purpose
as described in this Owner’s Manual.
„ Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure
panels are properly in place.
„ Do not store or use combustible materials including
gasoline or other flammable liquids or vapors in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
„ Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish rack
of the dishwasher.

safe or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked,
check the manufacturer’s recommendations.
