DANGER
WARNING
CAUTION
IMPORTANT SAFETY 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:
 Read all instructions before using the appliance.
 DO 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.
 DO 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.
 Under 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.
 DO 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 washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the door or lid. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in death or injury to persons.
 DO NOT reach into the appliance if the tub or agitator is moving to prevent accidental entanglement.
 DO NOT install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
 DO 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.
 DO NOT operate this appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled, or has missing or broken parts
including a damaged cord or plug.
 Unplug the appliance or turn off the circuit breaker before servicing. Pressing the Power button DOES NOT disconnect power.
 See “Electrical Requirements” located in the Installation Instructions for grounding instructions.

is recommended that a Oxi or chlorine
bleach product appropriate for items
being washed be used with this cycle
to maximize whitening performance.
The Sanitize with Oxi cycle, when using an Oxi additive along with your detergent, is designed to remove 99.9% of bacteria found in home laundry.
Measure the detergent and the Oxi products carefully. Using the amounts appropriate for a large heavily soiled load, follow the detergent
and the Oxi product label instructions. The detergent should be added using the dispenser instructions as shown on page 9 of this guide.
Place the Oxi product directly in the bottom of the wash basket, before adding the clothes. The washer hot water supply connection must
provide a minimum of 120°F to ensure the effectiveness of this cycle.
NOTE: The default Sanitize With Oxi cycle water temperature can NOT be changed.
The Sanitize With Oxi cycle is certified by NSF International, an independent third party testing and certification organization. The
certification verified that the cycle reduced 99.9% of bacteria typically found in residential laundry and that no significant contamination
is transferred to subsequent washer loads. Only the Sanitize With Oxi cycle has been designed to meet the requirements of NSF Protocol
P172 for sanitizing effectiveness.

Stain Removal Guide
The Stain Removal Guide feature allows you to indicate what stains are on the garments in your load. This feature incorporates a patent
pending treatment method. An initial water fill is performed at a temperature tailored to the stain type selected and to an amount which
enables a concentrated cleaning step. A stain scrubbing period, followed by an active soak, is conducted to effectively treat the stain. Then
additional water is added to the selected temperature and the wash phase is conducted for the cycle selected.
This feature can be applied to most wash cycles as described in the cycle guide.
To use Stain Removal Guide:
1. Select the desired wash cycle.
2. Press the Stain Removal Guide button.
Continue to press to select Tomato stain, Wine stain, Blood stain, Grass stain or Dirt stain. The indicator light will show the selected stain.
To select a different stain, press the Stain Removal Guide button until desired stain to be removed is lit.
To turn off Stain Removal Guide, press until no indicator lights are illuminated.
NOTE: The Soil and Temperature levels will be changed to match the recommended default setting for each stain type. Turning off Stain
Removal Guide will return the settings to default.

Cycle Options
Deep Fill
Select the Deep Fill feature for loads where extra water is needed.
Press the Deep Fill button once before starting the cycle to add an incremental amount of water to the wash load. Holding the Deep Fill
button for 3 seconds will provide the deepest fill level possible; this will increase cycle time due to the additional time it takes to fill the
washer.
To cancel the option if desired, press the Deep Fill button again.
NOTE: The Deep Fill button can also be pressed after the washer has completed filling and is in the wash phase if additional water is
desired. To stop the extra fill, press the Deep Fill button again and the water will stop.
Warm Rinse
Provides a warm rinse to your wash load. Note that rinsing operations may be different with this operation selected in order to effectively
apply the warm rinse water to your load.
Auto Soak

Repeated pressing of the Soak button will scroll through 15 minute, 30 minute, 1 hour, 2 hour, 4 hour and 8 hour selections and then return
back to 0 soak minutes.
Deep Rinse
Set this option to provide a deep rinse or when using fabric softener. It may change other settings (e.g. Spin may go to a higher setting) to
maximize performance.
NOTE: Do not use fabric softener dispensing balls with this washer. They do not work correctly in high efficiency washers.
Delay Wash
When the Delay Wash button is repeatedly pressed, the delay time is set from 1 (01H) to 9 (09H) hours and back to clear (00H) hours. If you
press and hold the Delay Wash button for 3 seconds, it will immediately reset.
Extra Rinse
When you use extra detergent or bleach to clean heavily soiled clothes, use the Extra Rinse option to better remove additional residues.
NOTE: This option is not allowed for some cycles.
Additional Options
My Cycle Settings
As the cycle selector knob is turned, the Temp, Soil and Spin settings change to automatic pre-set default settings for each cycle.
If you desire different default settings, select the desired options or changes to the cycle settings, then press and hold the My Cycle
button for 3 seconds to store them. The My Cycle button will light when active. In the future, when you turn the selector knob to
that cycle, your settings will be automatically recalled. To restore the factory defaults temporarily (i.e. for this load), press the My
Cycle button for 1/2 second. The My Cycle light will turn off and the factory defaults will load. However, the next time you select
this cycle, your My Cycle settings will load. If you wish to permanently restore the factory default settings for the cycle; when the My
Cycle is active (button light on) press and hold the My Cycle button for 3 seconds. The factory defaults will load for the selected cycle
and the My Cycle light will turn off. The default settings will load when this cycle is selected in the future and the My Cycle light will

Loading the Washer
Proper Use of Detergent
Sorting Wash Loads
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.
- Fire Hazard
WARNING
Never place items in the washer that are dampened with gasoline or other flammable liquids.
No washer can completely remove oil.
Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on it (including cooking oils).
Doing so so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Using too little or too much detergent is a common
cause of laundry problems.
Use less detergent if you have soft water, a smaller
load or a lightly soiled load.
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.
Place detergent pods in the bottom of the wash basket
before adding clothes.
GE recommends the use of High Efficiency detergents
such as in your energy efficient washer.
HE detergents are formulated to work with low
water wash and rinse systems. HE detergents reduce
the oversudsing problems commonly associated with
regular detergents.
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.
Loading and using the washer.
Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care label when laundering.
Load dry items loosely in the washer basket. For best
results, load items evenly and loosely around the
outside of the basket, filling in towards the center on
larger loads. To add items after washer has started,
press Start/Pause if the lid is locked; wait until the
Lid Locked indicator on the display is no longer
illuminated before attempting to open the lid. Lift the
lid and submerge additional items around the outside
of the basket. Close the lid and press Start to resume.
Adjust load size selection and/or use Deep Fill option if
necessary.
Do not place large items such as sheets, blankets
and towels across the Infusor (on some models).
Load them around the outside of the basket.
Do not put lawn or sofa cushions into the washer as
they are too big to move. Remove outer covers and
ONLY wash them.

About washer features.
Automatic Load Sensing
This determines the correct agitate profile, agitate duration and amount of water suited to the size and type of load placed in the washer.
The washer will not start the wash cycle or fill with water if the lid is open. When the lid is closed the machine is able to begin filling with
water in order to sense the load size.
NOTE: Automatic Load Sensing initiates a spin at the beginning of the cycle and will take as much as 3 minutes to complete (significantly
shorter for smaller loads); this is normal operation.
NOTE: This is a high efficiency washing machine with Infusor wash action. This system requires less water while providing effective cleaning
action. You may notice that the water level is lower than on your previous washer. This is normal for an Infusor-equipped washer.
Liquid or powdered HE detergent should be added to the right
side of the dispenser drawer. Follow the detergent manufacturer’s
recommendations for the correct amount of detergent, based on
load size, taking care to add detergent to the right compartment.
Do not overfill or dilute detergent as this can result in additive being
dispensed prematurely in the wash cycle. Your option selections will
determine when detergent is automatically dispensed at its optimal
time in the wash cycle.
NOTE: Single-dose laundry packets should not be added to the
dispenser drawer, as they will not dispense properly. Put packets
in bottom of wash basket.
Detergent Dispenser
Liquid fabric softener should be added to the left side of the
dispenser drawer. Follow the liquid fabric softener manufacturer’s
recommendations for the correct amount of softener, based on
load size, taking care to add softener to the left compartment. Do
not overfill or dilute softener as this can result in additive being
dispensed prematurely in the wash cycle. Your option selections will
determine when liquid fabric softener is automatically dispensed at
its optimal time in the rinse cycle.
NOTE: Fabric softener crystals should not be added to the
dispenser drawer, as they will not dispense properly.
Liquid Fabric Softener Dispenser
Liquid chlorine bleach should be added through the bleach
dispenser in the front left corner. Follow bleach manufacturer’s
recommendations for the correct amount of liquid chlorine bleach
based on load size, taking care to not apply or spill it directly on
clothing.
NOTE: Do not use liquid chlorine bleach and laundry pretreatments
such as an Oxi product in the same wash load.
Liquid Bleach
Place laundry pretreatments, such as an Oxi product, directly in the
bottom of the wash basket before loading clothes.
NOTE: Do not use liquid chlorine bleach and laundry pretreatments
such as an Oxi product in the same wash load.
Pretreatment
