GE S3500 - Manual (Page 5)

Control settings.
Load Size
Loosely load clothes no higher than the top row of holes in the washer tub. The water level should just cover
the clothes. Adjust the load size accordingly.
Wash/Spin Speed (on some models)
The agitator moves clothes around for a cleaner wash; the basket spins later in the cycle to release water from
the load. The Wash/Spin Speed dial sets the speed of both the agitator and the basket.
Wash Speeds
Use Fast wash speed
for cottons, denims, and play clothes.
Use Slow wash speed for delicate and knit items.
Spin Speeds
The Fast spin speed
is for durable items.
The Slow spin speed is for delicate items like sweaters and lingerie. Clothes will be less dry than when using
the Fast spin speed.
Temperature
Select the water temperature for the wash and rinse cycles. Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care label or
instructions when laundering.
Wash Cycle
The wash cycle controls the length of the washing process. The chart below will help you match the wash cycle
setting with your clothing.
COTTONS/ For heavy to lightly soiled cottons, household linens, work and play clothes.
WHITES
EASY CARE For wrinkle-free and permanent press items, and knits.
CASUALS A gentler way to clean clothes.
PULSE AGITATE This cycle agitates and then pauses to soak your clothes, simulating hand washing.
GENTLE The HEAVY cycle has three agitate/pause cycles to clean your heavily soiled items.
The MEDIUM cycle has two agitate/pause cycles, and the LIGHT cycle has one agitate/pause cycle.
The washer will fill with water to the chosen level when the washer is started in any part of the CASUALS cycle.
If the washer is started in the pause/soak portion of the cycle, then the washer will complete this
soak before it begins to agitate. This is normal.
DELICATES For lingerie and special-care fabrics with light to normal soil.
POWER WASH For heavily soiled and heavy-duty fabrics. This cycle provides a longer agitation.
