Sorting Wash Loads
Proper Use of Detergent
Add detergent and start the washer before adding
clothes so that the detergent can work effectively.
Follow the detergent package directions. Using too
little detergent is a common cause of laundry
problems.
Use more detergent if you have hard water, large
loads, greasy or oily soils or lower water
temperature.
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.
Lint Filter:
The lint filter is located under the agitator.
It is self-cleaning and requires no maintenance.
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. Call the GE Answer Center®, 800.626.2000
for information on how to keep the tub stationary
when moving the washer.
Long Vacations:
Be sure water supply is shut off at
faucets. Drain all water from hoses if weather will be
below freezing.
Loading the Washer
Load dry items loosely, no higher than the top
row of holes in the washer tub. 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, push in Cycle knob and
submerge additional items next to the agitator.
Close the lid and pull Cycle knob out to restart.
■
Do not wrap large items like sheets around the
agitator.
■
Do not wash fabrics containing flammable
materials (waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.).
■
Agitation will not start with the lid up.
