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.
WARNING
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.

• 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.
• Detailed grounding instructions can be found in the “PREPARE ELECTRICAL WIRING” section of the Installation Instructions. Consider recycling options for your appliance packaging material.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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
WHEN USING YOUR DISHWASHER, FOLLOW BASIC PRECAUTIONS, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:

• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.
• Use only detergents or wetting agents recommended for use in a dishwasher and keep them out of reach of children. Using a detergent that is not specifically designed  or dishwashers will cause the dishwasher to fill with suds.
• 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.
• Do not wash plastic items unless marked dishwasher safe or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.
• Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.
• Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not abuse, sit on or stand on the door or dish rack of dishwasher.
• To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play with, on or inside this appliance at any time.
• Do not store or use combustible materials including gasoline or other flammable liquids or vapors in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• Small parts, such as rack clips, can be a choke hazard to small children if removed from the dishwasher. Keep out of reach of small children.

WARNING
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.
WARNING
RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
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.

• Do not allow children to play with, on, or inside this or any discarded appliance.
• Take off the door of the washing compartment.

CAUTION
TO PREVENT MINOR INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE

• During or after wash cycle, contents may be hot to the touch. Use care before handling.
• Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is used by or merchildren. 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.
• 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.
• 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.

Cabinet Preparation & Wire Routing

• The wiring may enter the opening from either side, rear or the floor within the shaded area illustrated above in Figure E and defined in Figure A.
• Cut a 1-1/2″ maximum diameter hole to admit the electrical cable. Edges of hole should be smooth and rounded. Permanent wiring connections may pass through the same hole as the drain hose and hot water line, if convenient. If cabinet wall is metal, the hole edge must be covered with a bushing.

NOTE: Power cords with plug must pass through a separate hole in the cabinet.

Electrical Connection to Dishwasher
Electrical connection is on the right front of dishwasher.

• For permanent connections the cable must be routed as shown in Figure E. Cable must extend a minimum of 24″ from the rear wall.
• For power cord connections, install a 3-prong grounding type receptacle in the sink cabinet rear wall, 6″ min. or 18″ maximum from the opening, 6″ to 18″ above the floor.
• Use only WX09X70910 or WX09X70911 Dishwasher Power Cord Kit.

• The water supply line (3/8” copper tubing or flexible braided hose) may enter from either side, rear or floor within the shaded area shown in Figure F.
• The water supply line may pass through the same hole as the electrical cable and drain hose. Or, cut an additional 1-1/2″ diameter hole to accommodate the water line. If power cord with plug is used, water line must not pass through power cord hole.

WATER LINE CONNECTION

• If using a flexible braided supply hose, label the hose with the installation date to use as reference. Flexible braided hoses, elbows and gaskets should be replaced in 5 years.
• Turn off the water supply.
• Install a hand shut-off valve in an accessible location, such as under the sink. (Optional, but strongly recommended and may be required by local codes.)
• Water connection is on the left side of the dishwasher. Install the hot water inlet line, using no less than 3/8” copper tubing or a flexible braided hose. Route the line as shown in Figure F and extend forward at least 19” from rear wall.

Dishwasher Installation
STEP 1 INSTALL HANDLE (on some models)

• Remove the packaged handle from the lower rack by pulling its shipping clips out and up.

• Using the provided 1/8” Allen wrench, loosen the set screws to remove the shipping clips and discard them.

• Place the handle on the dishwasher door mounting fasteners, with the set screws on the bottom side, then tighten the set screws with the Allen wrench.

STEP 2 CHECK DOOR BALANCE
CAUTION
Opening the door will cause the dishwasher to tip forward when it is not fully installed. When opening the door prior to the dishwasher being fully installed, hold the top of the dishwasher securely with one hand and hold the door with the other hand. Gloves should be worn.

NOTE: If installing a Custom Door Panel (available on some models), please follow the instructions found in the Custom Door Panel kit WD35X25996.

• With dishwasher on the wood base and holding the top of the dishwasher firmly, check the door balance by opening and closing the door.
• Door is properly balanced if, when opened, it self closes within 20° from vertical, stays in position from 20° to 70° and falls fully open beyond 70°.
• If necessary increase or decrease tension as shown.
  Some models will have 2 springs on one side and 1 spring on the other side. Latch door and adjust springs to correct balance.
  NOTE: Models with tubular base rails are not adjustable.

Tip : Make sure door opens and closes smoothly. Check door opening and closing. If door does not open easily or falls too quickly, check spring cable routing. The cable is held in place by “shoulders” on the pulley. Check to be sure cable has not slipped over the pulley shoulders and is routed as shown.
STEP 3 REMOVE WOOD BASE,
INSTALL LEVELING LEGS
NOTE: Some models have an attached wood base.
CAUTION
Do not remove wood base until you are ready to install the dishwasher. The dishwasher will tip over when the door is opened if base is removed.
IMPORTANT – Do not kick off wood base!
Damage will occur.

• Move the dishwasher close to the installation location and lay it on its back. NOTE: Do not place the dishwasher on its side.
• For models with an attached wood base, remove the 4 leveling legs on the underside of the wood base with a 15/16” socket wrench.
• Discard base.

• On models without the center bottom adjustable leveling system:
  Screw leveling legs back into the dishwasher frame, approximately 1/2” from frame as shown.

• On models with the center bottom adjustable leveling system:
  Screw front leveling legs back into dishwasher frame approximately 1/2”.

STEP 3 REMOVE WOOD BASE, INSTALL LEVELING LEGS (CONTINUED)

• Screw rear leveling legs completely in until fully seated. NOTE: Pan (on some models) should not be removed during installation.

STEP 4 INSTALL 90° ELBOW

• Thread 90° elbow onto the water valve. Ensure rubber gasket is located between valve and elbow.

Position utility lines so they do not interfere with anything under or behind the dishwasher.
STEP 8 SLIDE DISHWASHER THREE-FOURTHS OF THE WAY INTO CABINET
IMPORTANT – Do not push against front panel with knees. Damage will occur.

• Grasp the sides of the front panel and slide dishwasher into the opening a few inches at a time.

STEP 8 SLIDE DISHWASHER THREE-FOURTHS OF THE WAY INTO CABINET (CONTINUED)

• As you proceed, pull the drain hose through the opening under the sink. Stop pushing when the dishwasher extends about 6 inches forward of adjacent cabinets.
• Make sure drain hose is not kinked under or behind the dishwasher.
• Make certain the house wiring, drain line and water line do not interfere with components under dishwasher.

STEP 9 INSTALL TRIM PIECES
In this step you will need the trim pieces set aside earlier.

• Select the top trim piece (See Figure R) and line up center to the top latch. Press the trim piece onto the tub flange moving from one side to the other.
• Select the left trim piece (see Figure R). Align top edge with the top trim and press it onto the left side of the tub flange moving from the top to the bottom. Repeat for the right side tub flange trim piece. (See Figure R for right side trim piece.)

STEP 10 INSTALL MOUNTING BRACKETS
You will need the mounting brackets set aside earlier.
You must install the mounting brackets onto the dishwasher tub frame top OR sides prior to sliding the dishwasher into place under the countertop.
Install mounting brackets on top if the underside of countertop is wood or wood-like material that accepts screws:
Install the brackets by inserting the tabs through the slots on the tub frame as shown.
NOTE: You may need to work the tabs through the slots.

Using pliers, bend and twist the tabs upward to secure as shown.
IMPORTANT – After installing brackets and before closing the dishwasher door, adjust the brackets by bending them up as needed, so that they do not contact the top of the dishwasher door and cause damage.

• If you are installing the dishwasher under a counter with a short overhang, the countertop brackets may extend beyond the edge of the counter. If this is the case, remove the excess length by repeatedly bending the brackets at the front notch only until they break.

STEP 10 INSTALL MOUNTING BRACKETS (CONT.)
Install mounting brackets on sides if the countertop is granite or similar material that will not accept wood screws:

• Break off front portion of the bracket with pliers at the location shown prior to attaching to dishwasher.
• Install the brackets by inserting the tabs through the slots on the tub frame as shown. NOTE: You may need to work the tabs through the slots.

Using pliers, bend and twist the tabs to secure as shown.
Side Mounting

STEP 11 PUSH DISHWASHER INTO FINAL POSITION

• Check the tub insulation blanket, if equipped, to be sure it is smoothly wrapped around the tub. It should not be “bunched up” and it must not interfere with the door springs. If the insulation is “bunched up” or interfering with the springs, straighten and re-center the blanket prior to sliding the dishwasher into its final position.

• Slide the dishwasher into the final position by pushing on the sides of the door panel. Do not push or pull the door in a partially open or closed position when moving the dishwasher. Do not use a knee or push on the center of the panel. If you do, damage to the panel will likely result. Check that the dishwasher is squarely positioned in the cabinet opening at both the top and the bottom of the appliance prior to mounting to the cabinet.
  IMPORTANT – Before opening the dishwasher door, be certain the edges of the dishwasher door panel are behind the face of the adjacent cabinet and not up against the cabinet face. Refer to Figure U. If the dishwasher door is opened when the edge of the door is against the face of the cabinet, dishwasher door damage and cabinet damage will occur.

• Open and close the dishwasher door to be sure it operates smoothly, and does not rub on the adjacent cabinet.

Tip: Prevent unnecessary service charges for panel damage or wash performance.
Check dishwasher alignment prior to opening dishwasher door to prevent panel damage.
Make sure utility lines are not trapped or crushed behind dishwasher. Crushed lines will restrict water flow.

STEP 12 LEVEL DISHWASHER
IMPORTANT – Dishwasher must be level for proper dish rack operation, wash performance and door operation. The dishwasher must be leveled left to right and front to  back.
This ensures the dish racks will not roll in or out on their own, circulation water will flow to the pump inlet, and the door will close without hitting the side of the tub.

• Remove the lower dish rack and place a level on the door and lower rack track as shown in figure.

If your model has a rear leveling system, the rear height is adjusted from the front of the dishwasher along with the 2 front legs on the bottom of the dishwasher. Begin the
leveling process with the front legs by individually turning the front 2 legs. Adjust the front legs first. When the front legs are adjusted to a height resulting in an appropriate gap to the upper cabinet, proceed to adjust the rear leveling system by adjusting the leveling bolt as illustrated in the figure. Turn the bolt to adjust the rear leveling system. Slowly rotate the bolt clockwise to raise the back of the dishwasher, and counterclockwise to lower it. Continue to adjust the feet until the dishwasher is level as illustrated in the figure. Ensure all 3 legs are firmly in contact with the floor.

If your model has 4 leveling feet, adjust the level of the dishwasher by individually turning the 4 legs on the bottom of the dishwasher as shown in figure.

• The dishwasher is properly leveled when the level indicator is centered left to right and front to back. Also, the dishwasher door should close without hitting the side of the tub.
• Replace the lower rack.

Tip: Prevent unnecessary service charges. Verify dishwasher is leveled.
Pull the dish racks half way out. They should stay put. Open and close the door. The door should fit in the tub opening without hitting the side of the tub. If the racks roll on  their own, or the door hits the side of tub, re- level the dishwasher.
STEP 13 POSITION DISHWASHER, SECURE TO COUNTERTOP OR CABINET
In this step you will need the 2 Phillips special head screws from the screws set aside earlier.
The dishwasher must be secured to the countertop or the cabinet sides. When the underside of the countertop is wood, use Method 1. Use Method 2 when the underside of the countertop is made of a material, such as granite, that will not accept wood screws.
IMPORTANT – Prevent door panel and control panel damage. Dishwasher must be positioned so the front panel and control panel do not contact the adjacent cabinets or countertop. Mounting screws must be driven straight and flush. Protruding screw heads could scratch the door panel or control panel and interfere with door operation.
Method 1
Secure dishwasher to underside of wood countertop.

• Recheck alignment of the dishwasher in the cabinet.
  Refer to Steps 11 and 12. Door panel and/or control panel must not hit cabinets or countertop.

• Fasten the dishwasher to the underside of the countertop with the 2 Phillips special head screws.
  Refer to figure. Make certain screws are driven straight and flush to prevent panel damage.

Method 2
Secure dishwasher to cabinet sides.

• Recheck alignment of the dishwasher in the cabinet.
  Refer to Steps 11 and 12. Door panel and/or control panel must not hit cabinets or countertop.

• Remove plug buttons. Do not discard.

• Fasten the dishwasher to the adjacent cabinets with the 2 Phillips special head screws provided. Refer to Figure X. Make certain screws are driven straight and flush to prevent panel damage. Do not screw into the cabinet face frame.

• Install plug buttons to the side of the tub in the holes provided.

STEP 13 POSITION DISHWASHER, SECURE TO COUNTERTOP OR CABINET (CONT.)

• Re-check that the dishwasher is square and level at both the top and bottom of the cabinet opening, with no twisting or distortion of the tub or door after mounting to
  the cabinets/countertop. Adjust if necessary.

• Confirm all leveling legs are in contact with the floor to prevent the dishwasher from rocking and ensure proper door and latch operation.

CONNECT DRAIN LINE
STEP 15

• The hose should have already been detached from the tub at locations indicated.
  The molded end of the drain hose will fit 5/8” through 1” diameter inlet ports on the air gap, waste tee or disposer.

Dishwasher Installation

CONNECT DRAIN LINE (CONT.) STEP 15

• Determine size of inlet port. If required, cut drain hoseconnector on the marked line, to fit the inlet port.

• If a longer drain hose is required and your model looks like one of these:Replace the provided user bag drain hose with GE Appliances service part WD24X10065, a 12’ long hose which can be connected directly to the drain loop already attached to the unit.

• If a longer drain hose is required and your model looks like this:You can purchase an extension drain hose – GE Appliances service part WD24X10062 (4’ length) or WD24X10065 (12’ length) which can be connected directly to the drain hose already attached to the unit. To use the extension, you must cut the drain hose provided with the unit as shown. Use a hose cutter or razor blade knife to cut the drain hose.If service part hose is not available, an additional hose with coupler, ID of 5/8” or 7/8” and no longer than 66”, may be attached to the provided user bag drain hose. Secure the connection with hose clamp (obtain locally) to the provided user bag drain hose. CONNECT DRAIN LINE (CONT.)
  STEP 15
  NOTE: TOTAL DRAIN HOSE LENGTH MUST NOT EXCEED 16’ FROM THE REAR OF THE DISHWASHER FOR PROPER DRAIN OPERATION.

• Connect drain line to air gap, waste tee or disposer using the previously determined method. Secure hose with a hose clamp.
  Method 1 – Air gap with waste tee or disposer Method 2 – “High drain loop” with waste tee or disposer
  With this method you will need the drain hose hanger set aside earlier.
  Fasten drain hose to underside of countertop with the provided hanger. IMPORTANT – When connecting drain line to disposer, check to be sure that drain plug has been removed. DISHWASHER WILL NOT DRAIN IF PLUG IS LEFT IN PLACE. Tip: Avoid unnecessary service call charges for a no drain complaint.
  Make sure excess drain hose has been pulled through the cabinet opening. This will prevent excess hose in the dishwasher cavity from becoming kinked or crushed by the dishwasher.
