IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
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 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.
WARNING! For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or
explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
PROPER INSTALLATION
•Install or store where it will not be exposed
to temperatures below freezing or exposed
to the weather.
•Properly ground washer to conform with all
governing codes and ordinances. Follow
details in Installation Instructions.
YOUR LAUNDRY AREA
•Keep the area underneath and around your
appliances free of combustible materials such
as lint, paper, rags, chemicals, etc.
•Close supervision is necessary if this
appliance is used by or near children. Do not
allow children to play on, with or inside this
or any other appliance.
This washer must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it
is used. Installation Instructions are included in the back of this manual.

purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.
•Never reach into washer while it is moving.
Wait until the machine has completely
stopped before opening the lid.
•Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia

•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) which may
ignite or explode. Do not add these
substances to the wash water. Do not use or
place these substances around your washer or
dryer during operation.

WHEN NOT IN USE
•Turn off water faucets to relieve pressure on
hoses and valves and to minimize leakage if a
break or rupture should occur. Check the
condition of the fill hoses; they should be
replaced every 5 years.
•Before discarding a washer, or removing it
from service, remove the washer lid to prevent
children from hiding inside.

Using the
Liquid Bleach
Dispenser
The bleach dispenser automatically dilutes and
dispenses liquid chlorine bleach at the proper
time in the wash cycle.
1Check clothing care labels for special
instructions.
2Measure liquid bleach carefully, following
instructions on the bottle.
•Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach
directly onto clothes or into the wash basket.
• Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach
dispenser.
• Avoid overfilling or splashing when adding
bleach to the dispenser. The maximum capacity
of the bleach dispenser is one cup of bleach per
wash cycle. Overfilling could result in early
dispensing of bleach.
3Before starting the washer, pour measured
amount of bleach directly into bleach
dispenser. If you prefer to use powdered
bleach, add it into the wash basket directly
before adding clothes.
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.
Using the
Dispenser
Drawer
The dispenser drawer contains three
compartments:
•Liquid Fabric Softener
• Liquid or Powder Low-Sudsing, High-
Efficiency Detergent
• Liquid Wash Boost Additives
The dispenser automatically dispenses additives
at the proper time in the wash cycle.
1Slowly open the dispenser drawer by pulling
the drawer out until it stops.
2After adding laundry products, slowly close
the dispenser drawer. Closing the drawer too
quickly could result in early dispensing of
additives.
• Avoid overfilling or splashing when adding
laundry products to the dispenser. Doing so
could result in early dispensing of laundry
products.
At the end of the cycle, you may see water
in the compartments. This is part of the normal
operation of the washer.
NOTE: Do not use bleach in the dispenser
drawer.

16
Washer Features
www.GEAppliances.com
Adding
Detergent
NOTE: Use only low-sudsing, high-efficiency
detergent such as Tide®HE.
Add measured detergent to the detergent
compartment of the dispenser drawer.
•Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
Detergent is flushed through the dispenser
at the beginning of the wash phase. Either
powdered or liquid detergent can be used.
When using liquid detergent, make sure
the detergent box and insert are in place.
For powdered detergent, remove both the
detergent box and insert. Powdered detergent
will not dispense with the detergent box and
insert in place.
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 washer, as it can lead to
oversudsing and detergent residue being
left on the clothes.
Adding Fabric
Softener
If desired, pour the recommended amount
of liquid fabric softener into the left-hand
compartment. Use only liquid fabric softener.
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. It may stain the clothes.
ADDITIVES
Adding
Wash Boost
Additives
The Wash Boost dispenser may be used to
clean heavily soiled or stained garments more
efficiently. Selecting ADDITIVES when setting a
presoak sets a special “Wash Boost” that soaks,
drains and spins, then refills the washer for the
main wash cycle. If ADDITIVES is not selected,
the washer will not drain and refill after the
presoak.
Place the additives for the Wash Boost setting
in the right-hand compartment. Select an Extra
Rinse to make sure all remaining detergent is
removed from the wash load.
You may add low-sudsing, high-efficiency liquid
detergent to this compartment when selecting
a Stain Inspector cycle or when choosing a
Presoak requiring special additives.
•Do not exceed the maximum fill line to avoid
oversudsing.
Overfilling can cause early dispensing of
presoak additives, which could result in
damaged clothes.

Load dry items loosely, no higher than the top
row of holes in the washer basket. Overloading
may reduce washer efficiency and possibly
increase wrinkling.
Bulky items should be placed as far down in the
wash basket as possible for optimal results.
Always place buoyant items at the bottom of the
wash basket.
The washer will automatically detect the load
size. Because of the high-efficiency wash system,
the water level may not completely cover the
load. To add items after washer has started, lift
the lid, add items, close the lid and press
START.
•Do not wash fabrics containing flammable
materials (waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.)
•The washer will not fill or operate with the
lid open.
Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care label when laundering.

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.
Exterior: Immediately wipe off any spills. Wipe
with damp cloth. Do not touch the surface or
the Touch Screen with sharp objects.
Moving and Storage: Ask the service
technician to remove water from drain
pump and hoses. For more information, visit
www. GEAppliances.com or call 800.GE.CARES
(800.432.2737). 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.
Dispenser Drawers: Detergent and fabric
softener may build up in the dispenser drawer.
Residue should be removed once or twice a
month.
1Remove the drawer by pulling it straight out
until it stops. Lift up on the front of the
drawer and pull it out.
2Remove the inserts from the three
compartments; rinse the inserts and the
drawer with warm water to remove traces
of accumulated laundry products.
3To clean the drawer opening, use a small,
non-metal brush to clean the recess. Remove
all residue from the upper and lower parts
of the recess.
4Return the inserts to the proper
compartments and replace the drawer.

Proper Use of
Detergent
Using too much detergent is a common cause
of laundry problems. Today’s detergents are
formulated to be effective without highly visible
sudsing. Be sure to carefully read and follow
manufacturer’s recommendations for how
much detergent to use in your wash.
You can use less detergent if you have soft
water, a smaller load or a lightly soiled load.
NOTE: Use only low-sudsing, high-efficiency
detergent such as Tide®HE.

PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS
FOR YOUR SAFETY:
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION – For personal safety,
do not use an extension cord or adapter plug
with this appliance. Do not, under any
circumstances, cut or remove the third
grounding prong from the power cord. Follow
national electrical codes and ordinances. This
appliance must be supplied with the voltage
and frequency indicated on the rating plate
(located on the rear cover of the backsplash),
and connected to an individual, properly
grounded branch circuit, protected by a 15-
or 20-amp circuit breaker or time-delay fuse.
If the electric supply provided does not meet
the above requirements, call a licensed
electrician.
WATER PRESSURE – Must be 10 psi minimum
to 120 psi maximum.
WATER TEMPERATURE – Household water
heater should be set to deliver water at 120°
to 150°F (50° to 66°C) TO THE WASHER.
SHUTOFF VALVES – Both hot and cold shutoff
valves (faucets) should be supplied.
DRAIN – Water may be drained into
standpipe or set tub. Discharge height MUST
NOT BE LESS THAN 30 INCHES and no more
than 8 feet above the base of the washer.
Standpipe must be 11⁄2inches minimum
inside diameter and must be open to
atmosphere.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In
the event of malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of electric
shock by providing a path of least resistance
for electric current. This appliance is equipped
with a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an appropriate outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
WARNING – Improper connection
of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician or serviceman if you are
in doubt as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the appliance—if it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
