Introduction
INTRODUCTION
• This unit allows: wash only; dry only; wash and dry cycles.
• Fill the drum 2/3 full with laundry for best wash and dry performance. This allows air movement and proper drying.
A fully loaded drum will lead to longer dry times.
NOTE: During Dry cycles temperatures in the unit can get very hot. For this reason, the door will lock during the dry
cycle and remain locked until temperatures cool down. If Start/Pause is pressed mid cycle to add another garment,
the unit will update the cycle status to “Cool” and the door will remain locked to allow the unit to safely cool down.
This may take up to 15 minutes depending on conditions inside the machine. Forcing the door open will result in a
broken door mechanism.
• This unit uses condenser drying technology. This enables installation and use without a vent, but loads take
approximately 1.5 times longer to dry than a traditional vented dryer.

SAFETY INFORMATION
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of death, fire, explosion, electric shock, or injury to persons when using
your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:
ŶRead all instructions before using the appliance.
ŶFollow all fabric care instructions and warnings to prevent melting of garments or damage to the appliance.
ŶDO NOT wash or dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with
gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances, as they give off vapors that could
ignite or explode.
ŶDO NOT add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water.
These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
ŶDO NOT place items exposed to cooking oils in your unit. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute
to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire. To reduce the risk of fire due to contaminated loads,
the final part of the tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down period). At the end of the cycle the door
remains locked during the cool down period to protect from surfaces that get hot during drying. The cool down
period will be approximately 10 minutes before the door is unlocked.
ŶDO NOT dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
ŶDO NOT store combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable liquids near the unit. Keep area around the
air intake vent on the front of the unit and adjacent surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust
and dirt.
ŶThe interior of the appliance should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.
ŶDO NOT add dryer lint sheet in the unit when washing.
ŶDO NOT spray any type of aerosol into, on or near the unit at any time. DO NOT use any type of spray
cleaner when cleaning the interior. Hazardous fumes or electrical shock could occur.
ŶUnder certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot-water system that has not been used for
2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a
period, before using a washing machine, turn on all hot-water faucets and let the water flow from each for
several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, DO NOT smoke
or use an open flame during this time.
ŶDO NOT allow children to play on or in this appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when this
appliance is used near children. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door
or lid. Failure to follow these instructions may result in death or injury to persons.
ŶDO NOT reach into the appliance if the drum is moving to prevent accidental entanglement.
ŶDO NOT install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
ŶDO NOT tamper with controls, repair or replace any part of this appliance or attempt any servicing unless
specifically recommended in the user maintenance instructions or in published user repair instructions that you
understand and have the skills to carry out.
ŶDO NOT climb or stand on this unit.
ŶDO NOT operate this appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled, or has missing or
broken parts including a damaged cord or plug.
ŶUnplug the appliance or turn off the circuit breaker before servicing. Pressing the Power button DOES NOT
disconnect power.
ŶSee “ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS” located in the Installation Instructions for grounding instructions.
WARNING

49-3000230 Rev 6 5
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
PROPER INSTALLATION
This unit must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.
ŶEnsure that the hot water hose is connected to the “H” valve and the cold water hose is connected to the “C”
valve.
ŶInstall or store where it will not be exposed to temperatures below freezing or exposed to the weather, which
could cause permanent damage and invalidate the warranty.
ŶProperly ground unit to conform with all governing codes and ordinances. Follow details in the Installation
Instructions.
ŶEnsure unit is properly leveled and unit legs are adjusted such that unit is stable.
ŶGE 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.
ŶGE 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.
ŶConsider recycling options for your appliance packaging material.

Dispenser Drawer
Slowly open the dispenser drawer by pulling it out until it
stops.
After adding laundry products, slowly close the dispenser
drawer. Closing the drawer too quickly could result in early
dispensing of the fabric softener or detergent.
You may see water in the fabric softener compartment at
the end of the cycle. This is a result of the flushing/siphoning
action and is part of the normal operation of the unit.
• Only use high-efficiency detergent in this unit. Use the detergent manufacturer’s recommended amount.
DO NOT fill above the MAX line.
• Detergent is flushed from the dispenser at the beginning of the wash cycle. Either powdered or liquid high-efficiency
detergent can be used.
• Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the load. Avoid
using too much detergent in your unit since it can lead to oversudsing and detergent residue being left on the clothes.
Detergent Compartment
If desired, pour the recommended amount of liquid fabric softener into the
compartment labeled “Fabric Softener.”
Use only liquid fabric softener in the dispenser.
Dilute with water to the maximum fill line.
Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling can cause early dispensing
of the fabric softener, which could stain clothes.
NOTE: Do not pour fabric softener directly on the wash load.

Loading
Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care label when laundering.
DO NOT wash fabrics soiled with flammable liquids or cleaning solvents.
No washer can completely remove oil.
DO NOT wash or dry anything that has been soaked in or spotted with any type of oil (including cooking oils).
DO NOT reach into the unit until all moving parts have stopped.
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from the unit.
Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried on a clothesline.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, fire or amputation.
Sorting and Loading
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). Wash lint producers such as cotton
towels and socks separate from lint collectors including synthetic garments and dress pants.
Loading to Wash
The drum may be fully loaded with loosely added items when washing only. If washing and drying during the cycle,
only load the drum to a maximum of 2/3 capacity to allow airflow during drying. Excessive loading for drying will lead
to poor dry performance.
To add items after the unit has started, press Start/Pause and wait until the door is unlatched. The unit may take
up to 30 seconds to unlock the door after pressing Start/Pause during the wash cycle, depending on the machine
conditions. Unit may take up to 15 minutes to unlock the door if Start/Pause is pressed during a Dry cycle.
Do not try to force open the door when it is locked. After the door unlocks, open gently. Add items, close the door
and press Start/Pause to restart.

Loading for Dry Only or Wash and Dry Cycles
When running a dry only cycle or a wash and dry cycle, only load the drum to a maximum of 2/3 capacity to allow
airflow during drying.
As a general rule, if clothes are sorted properly for the wash, they are sorted properly for the dry cycle. Try also to
sort items according to size. For example, do not dry a sheet with socks or other small items.
Do not add fabric softener sheets once the load has become warm. They may cause fabric softener stains. Bounce®
Fabric Conditioner Dryer Sheets have been approved for use in this unit when used in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not overload. This wastes energy and causes wrinkling.

CARE AND CLEANING
Pump Filter
Clean EVERY MONTH to remove any items that may have been caught in
the filter or housing.
Due to the nature of the front-load unit, it is sometimes possible for small articles
to pass to the pump. The unit has a filter to capture lost items so they are not
dumped to the drain. To retrieve lost items, clean out the pump filter.
1Open the door on the bottom right of the front of the unit.
2Twist the small white cap counterclockwise a quarter turn and unhook the small
rubber hose. Pull the hose out of the hole and remove the white drain hose
plug above a small pan to capture any water that may drain. Drain the excess
water. Replace.
3Unscrew the pump filter. Rinse off any debris. Replace.
4Close the access door.
Exterior
Immediately wipe off any spills. Wipe with damp cloth. Wipe or dust spills or washing compounds with a damp cloth.
Unit control panel and finishes may be damaged by some laundry pretreatment and stain remover products. Apply
these products away from the unit. The fabric may then be washed and dried normally. Damage to your unit caused
by these products is not covered by your warranty. Do not hit surface with sharp objects.
Interior
Dry around the door opening, flexible gasket (including attached hoses) and door glass. These areas should always
be clean to ensure a watertight seal.
It is recommended to rinse the unit at least once per month with 1 cup of bleach (or other commercially available
product manufactured for this purpose, such as Tide®Washing Machine Cleaner) poured directly into the basket
without clothes and using the Tub Clean Cycle.
The interior of the appliance should be cleaned once a year by qualified service personnel.

Water Supply Hoses
Periodically inspect all water inlet hoses for water leaks, wear, cuts, corrosion, and bulges. Replace all hoses
immediately if any sign of these failures appear. All hoses should be replaced every 5 years of use to reduce risk
of hose failures and possible water damage. When replacing hoses, refer to the Installation Instructions for proper
installation. DO NOT overtighten or cross thread fittings. DO NOT allow the hose to rub against sharp objects,
become kinked, or become over stretched. Always ensure hose rubber gaskets are installed and free from leaks
when pressurized.

Door Gasket
Open the door. Using both hands, press down the door gasket. Remove any foreign
objects if found trapped inside the gasket. Make sure there is nothing blocking the holes
behind the gasket.
While holding down the door gasket, inspect the interior of the gasket by pulling it down
with your fingers. Remove any foreign objects if found trapped inside this gasket. Make
sure there is nothing blocking the holes behind the gasket.
When you are finished cleaning the door gasket, remove your hands and the gaskets will
return to the operating position.
Stainless Steel
To clean stainless steel surfaces use a damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner suitable for stainless steel
surfaces. Remove the cleaner residue and then dry with a clean cloth.
The stainless steel used to make the drum provides the highest reliability available in a GE Appliances unit. If the
drum should be scratched or dented during normal use, the drum will not rust or corrode. These surface blemishes
will not affect the function or durability of the drum.
