WARNING!

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.

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.

 Do not tamper with controls.

 Do not wash plastic items unless marked dishwasher

safe or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked,

check the manufacturer’s recommendations.

The dishwasher does not heat the water anymore, why is that? Verified

It is likely that the heating element is defective. Have it replaced. When in doubt, contact the manufacturer.

Do I need to rinse my dishes before putting them in the dishwasher? Verified

Rinsing the dishes is not necessary, but you do need to remove any large, hard and fat leftovers. These could clog the drain over time.

Can I open the dishwasher while it is running? Verified

Most dishwashers are equipped with a water stop, making the program stop immediately when the door is opened and meaning no water will come out. With some models this can cause problems over time. With built-in dishwashers it is possible that frequently opening the dishwasher while running may cause water damage to surrounging cabinets because of the steam that is released.

Should I open the dishwasher after it finished running to have the dishes dry quicker? Verified

This depends on the type of dishwasher and the location of the dishwasher. Some dishwashers are equipped with a feature that dries the dishes after the washing program. In that case opening the dishwasher will have no added value. With built-in dishwashers it is possible that frequently opening the dishwasher while running may cause water damage to surrounging cabinets because of the steam that is released.

After the dishwaser has finished its cycle, the plastic dishes are still wet but the rest isn't. Why is that? Verified

Plastic is a bad conductor of heat, allowing the products to cool down quickly. The moisture that remains on it then evaporates far less than for example on ceramics or metal.

Can I connect a dishwasher to an extension cord? Verified

Appliances that require large amounts of power, like a dishwasher, can not be connected to all extension cords. See what the power usage of the dishwasher is, which is indicated in Watt, and check if the extension cord cn handle this. There are extension cords with thicker cables that are made to handle larger appliances.

Is it a problem to have scratches on the metal on the inside of the dishwasher? Verified

The inside of most dishwashers is made of stainless steel and are not affected by scratches.

This was helpful (666) Read more

Can I put pans with Teflon in the dishwasher? Verified

Yes, you can. However, the pan will wear faster than when it is cleaned by hand. When cleaning a pan with Teflon by hand, never use a scourer but use a soft sponge or cloth.

This was helpful (654) Read more

Can I put wooden objects such as spatulas and cutting boards in the dishwasher? Verified

No. Wooden objects can get damaged or warped in a dishwasher. Also, the wood fibres that come free might damage the dishwasher. Wooden cutting boards are often made with glue that can come loose after being in the dishwasher several times.

Can my GE appliance also run on a generator? Verified

In general this is possible, but always check this with the manufacturer of your generator. Also be aware that some appliances require a lot of power when starting up (ie: refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners). It's also a good idea to use a generator that is voltage regulated and surge protected. When in doubt you should contact the manufacturer.
