IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
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 basket 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.
 Keep the area around your appliance clean and dry to reduce the possibility of slipping.
 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.

WHEN NOT IN USE
Turn off water faucets to minimize leakage if a break or
rupture should occur. Check the condition of the water
supply hoses; GE Appliances recommends changing the
water supply hoses every 5 years.
Ensure that the hot water hose is connected to the “H”
(internal red screened) valve and the cold water hose is
connected to the “C” (internal blue screened) valve.
Install 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.
Properly ground washer to conform with all
governing codes and ordinances. Follow details
in Installation Instructions.
This washer does include water supply hoses.
GE Appliances strongly recommends the use of
factory specified parts. A list of factory hoses available
for purchase are listed below. These hoses are
manufactured and tested to meet GE Appliances
specifications.
GE 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.

directions.
DO NOT put detergent packets in
dispenser compartments. Laundry
detergent packets should only be
added directly to the wash basket following
the manufacturer’s directions.

Liquid Bleach
Add liquid bleach by pouring it into the left front
liquid bleach dispenser. The water fill dilutes
liquid chlorine bleach as the washer fills for 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 compartment.
3Before starting the washer, pour measured
amount of bleach directly into bleach
compartment. Avoid splashing or over-filling
dispenser. If you prefer to use powdered
bleach, add it into the wash basket with
your detergent.
 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.
DO NOT put detergent packets in
dispenser compartments. Laundry
detergent packets should only be
added directly to the wash basket following
the manufacturer’s directions.
( )
( )
( )

Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care label when laundering.
Loading the Washer
Load dry items loosely in the washer basket. For
best results, load items evenly and loosely around
the outside of the basket. To add items after
washer has started, press Pause, lift the lid and
submerge additional items around the outside of
the basket. Close the lid and press Start to resume.
Do not place large items such as sheets, blankets
and towels across the infusor. 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.
Proper Use of Detergent
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.
GE Appliances recommends the use of High
Efficiency detergents in all Energy Star rated
washers. 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.
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).

- Fire Hazard
WARNING
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 washer until all moving parts have stopped.
Doing so can result in death, explosion, fire or amputation.

To clean the interior of the washer, select the
Basket Clean feature on the control panel.
This Basket Clean cycle should be performed,
at a minimum, once per month. This cycle
will use more water, in addition to bleach, to
control the rate at which soils and detergents
may accumulate in your washer.
NOTE: Read the instructions below
completely before starting the Basket Clean
cycle.
1. Remove any garments or objects from the
washer and ensure the washer basket is
empty.
2. Open the washer lid and pour one cup or
250 ml of liquid bleach or other washing
machine cleaner into the basket.
3. Close the lid and select the Basket Clean
cycle. Push the Start button.
4. When the Basket Clean cycle is working,
the display will show the estimated cycle
time remaining. The cycle will complete in
about 3 hours. Do not interrupt the cycle.
Basket Clean may be interrupted by pressing
the Start pad in between cycles. A power
outage in the house might also interrupt the
cycle. When the power supply is back, the
Basket Clean cycle resumes where it had
stopped. When interrupted, be sure to run a
complete Basket Clean cycle before using the
washer. If the Power pad is pressed during
Basket Clean, the cycle will be lost.
IMPORTANT:
Run Basket Clean with 1 Cup (250 ml) of
bleach once a month.
After the completion of a Basket Clean
cycle, the interior of your washer may
have a bleach smell.
It is recommended to run a light color load
after the Basket Clean cycle.
