This washer must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.
Ŷ
Ensure that the hot water hose is connected to the “H” valve and the cold water hose is connected to the “C”
valve.

could cause permanent damage and invalidate the warranty.

Instructions.

GE Appliances strongly recommends the use of factory specified parts. A list of factory hoses available for
purchase are listed. These hoses are manufactured and tested to meet GE Appliances specifications.

GE Appliances strongly recommends the use of new water supply hoses. Hoses degrade over time and need
to be replaced every 5 years to reduce the risk of hose failures and water damage.
