Proper Use of Detergent
Using too much detergent is a common
cause of laundry problems. Today’s
detergents are formulated to be effective
without highly visible sudsing. Be sure to
carefully read and follow manufacturer’s
recommendations for how much
detergent to use in your wash. You can
use less detergent if you have soft water,
a smaller load or a lightly soiled load.
NOTE: Use only low-sudsing, high-
efficiency detergent such as Tide
®
HE.
Care and Cleaning
of the Washer
Lid: Wash with a damp cloth on the
outside and inside and dry with a soft
cloth.
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. Do not touch the
surface or the display with sharp objects.
Moving and Storage: Ask the service
technician to remove water from drain
pump and hoses. For more information,
visit GEAppliances.com or call
800.GE.CARES (800.432.2737). 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.
Dispenser Drawer: Detergent and fabric
softener may build up in the dispenser
drawer. Residue should be removed
once or twice a month.
Remove the drawer by pulling it
straight out until it stops. Lift up
on the front of the drawer and
pull it out.
Remove the inserts from the
3 compartments; rinse the inserts
and the drawer with warm water
to remove traces of accumulated
laundry products.
To clean the drawer opening, use a
small, non-metal brush to clean the
recess. Remove all residue from the
upper and lower parts of the recess.
Return the inserts to the proper
compartments and replace the drawer.
