Important Safety Information

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 allow them to run for several
minutes before using any electrical
appliance which is connected to
the hot water system. This will
allow any hydrogen gas to escape.
Since the gas is flammable, do
not smoke or use an open flame
or appliance during this process.
Read all safety information before using
Many washers are located near a gas dryer or a water heater in the home.

Important Safety Information
Warning
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons
when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including
the following sections.
Safety Precautions
•Use this appliance only for its
intended purpose as described
in this Owner’s Manual.
•This washer must be properly
installed and located in
accordance with the Installation
Instructions before it is used.
If you did not receive an
Installation Instructions sheet
with your washer, you can obtain
one by calling, toll free, the GE
Answer Center®, 800.626.2000.
— Properly ground to conform
with all governing codes and
ordinances. Follow details in
Installation Instructions.
— Install or store where it will not be
exposed to temperatures below
freezing or exposed to the weather.
—
Connect to a properly rated, pro-
tected and sized power supply cir-
cuit to avoid electrical overload.
— Connect to adequate plumbing
and drain facilities as described
in the Installation Instructions.
•Turn off water faucets when the
washer is not in use to relieve
pressure on hoses and valves and
to minimize leakage if a hose or
valve should break or rupture.
•Do not repair or replace any
part of the appliance or attempt
any servicing unless specifically
recommended in this Owner’s
Manual or in published user-
repair instructions that you
understand and have the skills
to carry out.
•When disconnecting this
appliance pull by the plug rather
than the cord to avoid damage to
the cord or junction of cord and
plug. Make sure that the cord
is located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over or
otherwise subjected to damage
or stress.
•Keep all laundry aids (such
as detergents, bleaches, fabric
softeners, etc.) out of the reach
of children, preferably in a
locked cabinet. Observe all
warnings on container labels
to avoid personal injury.
•Do not tamper with the controls.
•Keep the area around and
underneath your appliances
free from the accumulation of
combustible materials, such as
lint, paper, rags, chemicals, etc.
5
•Keep the floor around your
appliances clean and dry to
reduce the possibility of slipping.
•Never reach into washer while
it is moving. Before loading,
unloading or adding clothes,
push in the Cycle Selector knob
and wait until the machine has
completely stopped before open-
ing the lid.
•Close supervision is necessary
if this appliance is used by or
near children. Do not allow
children to play inside, on or
with this appliance or any
discarded appliance. Dispose
of discarded appliances and
shipping/packing materials
properly. Before discarding
a washer, or removing from
service, remove the washer lid.
•Do not leave washer lid up
during cycle. This will stop
the wash and spin action and
prevent completion of the cycle.
•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,
etc.) which may ignite or
explode. Do not add these
substances to the wash water.
Do not use these substances
around your washer and/or
dryer during operation.
•The laundry process can reduce
the flame retardancy of fabrics.
To avoid such a result, the
garment manufacturer’s care
instructions should be followed
very carefully.
•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.
•Never climb on or stand on the
washer top.
•Do not wash fiberglass articles in
your washer. Skin irritation could
result from the remaining parti-
cles that may be picked up by
clothing during subsequent
washer use.
•To minimize the possibility
of electric shock, unplug this
appliance from the power supply
or disconnect the washer at the
household distribution panel by
removing the fuse or switching
off the circuit breaker before
attempting any maintenance
or cleaning.
•
NOTE:
Turning the Cycle Selector
knob to an off position does NOT
disconnect the
appliance from the power supply.
•Do not operate this appliance
if it is damaged, malfunctioning,
partially disassembled, or has
missing or broken parts, including
a damaged cord or plug.

1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy duty liquid
detergent
1 cup (240 ml) bleach

Separate for cleaning
Always add detergent before
adding clothes so that the deter-
gent can work effectively.
Using the correct amount of
detergent is one of the most
important things you can do to
make sure your wash comes out
clean. Always follow the detergent
package directions.
Using too little detergent is
a common cause of laundry
problems. Use more detergent if
you have hard water, large loads,
greasy or oily soils or lower water
temperature.

Empty pockets, unroll cuffs, shake
out loose dirt, zip zippers, fasten
snaps, hooks and buttons.
Treat/remove stains. See Stain
Removal Guide.
Turn poly knits inside-out to
reduce pilling.
Do any necessary mending.
Use a net laundry bag for
delicate items.
