f 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 allowing them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical
appliance which is connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will allow any
built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or
appliance during this process.

nNever reach into the washer while it is moving.
Wait until the machine has completely stopped

nDo not wash or dry articles that have been
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with
combustible or explosive substances (such as

Q: What is the difference between Heavy and Light settings?
A: For Whites and Colors, the wash agitation time is increased by 6 minutes and for Casuals, by 12 minutes. (Times are
approximate)
Q: What is the difference between egular and Pulsed?
A: egular means the washer will continuously agitate during the wash cycle. Pulsed provides a more gentle wash
cycle by including pause periods during the wash cycle.
Q: Which cycle is best for heavily soiled items?
A: Whites or Colors cycles have the greatest wash intensity. This cycle provides the best overall cleaning . Casuals
should be used for wrinkle-free and permanent press items.
Q: How can reduce linting?
A: Sort wash loads by fabric type and whether they collect lint (velveteen, corduroy) or produce lint (terry cloth, chenille).
Wash small loads for a shorter amount of time.
Q: How much detergent do use?
A: For best performance, always follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions on usage. Many detergents are
concentrated, so consult the product label and follow the clearly marked lines on the detergent measuring cups.
Excessive detergent can negatively impact the wash performance.

Wash Basket: Leave the lid open after washing to
allow moisture to evaporate. f 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: GE recommends changing the hoses
every 5 years.
Exterior: mmediately 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. See the
nstallation nstructions packed with product for
information on how to reinstall the shipping rod
to keep the tub stationary when moving the washer.
For more information, visit GEAppliances.ca or call
800.561.3344. 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.
Care and cleaning of the washer.
Add detergent before adding items so that the
detergent can work effectively. Using too little or too
much detergent is a common cause of laundry
problems.
For spots, apply pre-treatment to items as
recommended on the product label. Application
should be made in the basket to prevent overspray
which may cause the coloring on the lid or graphics
to fade.
You can use less detergent if you have soft water,
a smaller load or a lightly soiled load.
When using high efficiency or concentrated
detergents, consult the product label to determine
amount required for optimum performance.
Excessive detergent will negatively impact wash
performance.

nN’enroulez pas des articles de grande longueur tels
que des draps ou des pantalons autour de
l’agitateur.
nNe lavez pas les tissus imbibés de substances
inflammables (cires, liquides de nettoyage, etc.…).
nLe lavage et l’essorage ne sont pas en marche
lorsque le couvercle est ouvert, toutefois, la
minuterie continuera à fonctionner.
