Loading Examples*
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 Unlock Lid, 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 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
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.
