Important Safety Information

Water Heater Safety
Under certain conditions
hydrogen gas may be produced
in a water heater that has not been
used for two weeks or more.
HYDROGEN GAS CAN BE
EXPLOSIVE UNDER THESE
CIRCUMSTANCES.
If the hot water has not been used
for two weeks or more, prevent the
possibility of damage or injury by
turning on all hot water faucets
and allow them to run for several
minutes before using any electrical
appliance which is connected to
the hot water system. This will
allow any hydrogen gas to escape.
Since the gas is flammable, do
not smoke or use an open flame
or appliance during this process.
Read all safety information before using
Many washers are located near a gas dryer or a water heater in the home.

Important Safety Information
Warning
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons
when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including
the following:
Safety Precautions
•Use this appliance only for its
intended purpose as described
in this Owner’s Manual.
•Do not use washer if inspection
cover (on bottom right-hand side
of washer) has been removed or
damaged.
•This washer 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 washer, you can
obtain one by calling, toll-free, the
GE Answer Center®, 800.626.2000.
—Properly ground to conform
with all governing codes and
ordinances. Follow details in
Installation Instructions.
— Do not install or store where it will
be exposed to temperatures below
freezing or exposed to the weather.
—
Connect to a properly rated, pro-
tected and sized power supply cir-
cuit to avoid electrical overload.
— Connect to adequate plumbing
and drain facilities as described
in the Installation Instructions.
•Turn off water faucets when the
washer is not in use to relieve
pressure on hoses and valves and
to minimize leakage if a hose or
valve should break or rupture.
•Do not repair or replace any
part of the appliance or attempt
any servicing unless specifically
recommended in this Owner’s
Manual or in published user-
repair instructions that you
understand and have the skills
to carry out.
•When disconnecting this
appliance pull by the plug rather
than the cord to avoid damage to
the cord or junction of cord and
plug. Make sure that the cord
is located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over or
otherwise subjected to damage
or stress.
•Keep all laundry aids (such
as detergents, bleaches, fabric
softeners, etc.) out of the reach
of children, preferably in a
locked cabinet. Observe all
warnings on container labels
to avoid personal injury.
•Do not tamper with the controls.
•Keep the area around and
underneath your appliances
free from the accumulation of
combustible materials, such as
lint, paper, rags, chemicals, etc.

5
•Keep the floor around your
appliances clean and dry to
reduce the possibility of slipping.
•Never reach into washer if the
basket or agitator is moving.
Before loading, unloading or
adding clothes, press
START/PAUSE and wait until
the machine has completely
stopped before opening the lid.
•Close supervision is necessary
if this appliance is used by or
near children. Do not allow
children to play inside, on or
with this appliance or any
discarded appliance. Dispose
of discarded appliances and
shipping/packing materials
properly. Before discarding
a washer, or removing from
service, remove the washer lid.
•Do not leave washer lid up during
cycle. This will stop the wash and
spin action and prevent comple-
tion of the cycle
. To restart close
lid and press START/PAUSE .
•Do not wash or dry articles that
have been cleaned in, washed
in, soaked in, or spotted with
combustible or explosive
substances (such as wax, oil,
paint, gasoline, degreasers,
dry-cleaning solvents, kerosene,
etc.) which may ignite or
explode. Do not add these
substances to the wash water.
Do not use these substances
around your washer and/or
dryer during operation, as they
give off vapors that could ignite
or explode.
•The laundry process can reduce
the flame retardancy of fabrics.
To avoid such a result, the
garment manufacturer’s care
instructions should be followed
very carefully.
•Do not mix chlorine bleach with
ammonia or acids such as vinegar
and/or rust remover. Mixing can
produce a toxic gas which may
cause death.
•Never climb on or stand on the
washer top.
•Do not wash fiberglass articles in
your washer. Skin irritation could
result from the remaining parti-
cles that may be picked up by
clothing during subsequent
washer use.
•To minimize the possibility
of electric shock, unplug this
appliance from the power supply
or disconnect the washer at the
household distribution panel by
removing the fuse or switching
off the circuit breaker before
attempting any maintenance
or cleaning.
•
NOTE:
Pressing POWER does
NOT disconnect the appliance
from the power supply, even
though the lights are out.
•Do not operate this appliance
if it is damaged, malfunctioning,
partially disassembled, or has
missing or broken parts, including
a damaged cord or plug.

Operating Instructions
Changing factory-set options
When your washer is spinning it
can sense when the wash load is out
of balance and will stop and retry
spinning. If the machine still senses
an unbalanced load it will stop,
give a short burst of beeps every
five seconds and the Rinse or Spin
light and the Fast SPIN SPEED
light will flash. Redistribute the
load more evenly yourself.
Your washer can correct out of bal-
ance loads by filling with water, agi-
tating to redistribute the load and
spinning.
If you would like your machine to
automatically try and correct out of
balance loads follow the instruc-
tions below.
1
Enter the Option Adjustment
Mode. (Press START/PAUSE

recovery option you prefer.

HEAVY DUTY light off = stops

We recommend you check the water

much water is in the basket. Clothes
often float and your washer can
sense the water under the clothes.
