Sorting Wash Loads

Loading the Washer

Load dry items loosely, no higher than the top row of
holes in the washer tub. When loading wet items
make sure you set the load/water level high enough
to allow the items to move freely. Water level should
just cover the clothes. To add items after washer has
started, open the lid and add the additional items.
Close the lid. Washer will start automatically.

Do not wash fabrics containing flammable

materials (waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.).

When the lid is up, a signal will sound and “Lo” will

appear in the display. The washer will not agitate
with the lid up.

Care and Cleaning of the Washer

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. Try not to hit surface with sharp objects.

Moving and Storage: Ask the service technician to
remove water from drain pump and hoses. 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.

Proper Use of Detergent

Add detergent and fabric softener before adding
clothes so that the detergent can work effectively.
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.

GE recommends the use of High Efficiency
detergents. HE detergents are formulated
to work with low water wash and rinse systems.
HE detergents reduce the oversudsing problems
commonly associated with regular detergents.
