Loading and using the washer.
Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care label when laundering. ge.com
Proper Use of Detergent
Add clothes and detergent, then start the washer.
Using too little or too much detergent is a common
cause of laundry problems.
You can use less detergent if you have soft water,
a smaller load, or a lightly soiled load.
Loading the Washer
Load dry items loosely, no higher than the top row
of holes in the washer basket. When loading wet
items, make sure you set the load/water level high
enough to allow the items to move freely. Water
level should just cover the clothes. To add items
after washer has started, open the lid and add the
additional items. Close the lid. Washer will start
automatically.
■ Do not wrap large items like sheets around the
agitator.
■ Do not wash fabrics containing flammable materials
(waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.).
■ When the lid is up, a signal will sound and “Lo” will
appear in the display. The washer will not agitate
with the lid up.
Care and Cleaning of the Washer
Wash Basket: Leave the lid open after washing to
allow moisture to evaporate. If you want to clean the
basket use a clean soft cloth dampened with liquid
detergent, then rinse. (Do not use harsh
or gritty cleaners.)
Fill Hoses: Hoses connecting washer to faucet
should be replaced every 5 years.
Exterior: Immediately wipe off any spills. Wipe
with damp cloth. Try not to hit surface with
sharp objects.
Moving and Storage: Ask the service technician to
remove water from drain pump and hoses. Do not
store the washer where it will be exposed to the
weather.
Long Vacations: Be sure water supply is shut off at
faucets. Drain all water from hoses if weather will
be below freezing.
Sorting Wash Loads
Sort by color (whites, lights, colors), soil level, fabric
type (sturdy cottons, easy care, delicates), and
whether the fabric produces lint (terry cloth,
chenille), or collects lint (velveteen, corduroy).
