■ Install or store where it will not be exposed to

temperatures below freezing or exposed to
the weather.

■ Properly ground washer to conform with all

governing codes and ordinances. Follow details
in Installation Instructions.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire
or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

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 allowing them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical

appliance

which is connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will allow any built-up hydrogen

gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or appliance during this process.

PROPER INSTALLATION

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, you can receive one by visiting
GEAppliances.com, or by calling 800.GE.CARES (800.432.2737).

■ Keep the area underneath and around your

appliances free of combustible materials such as
lint, paper, rags, chemicals, etc.

■ Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is

used by or near children. Do not allow children
to play on, with, or inside this or any other
appliance.

YOUR LAUNDRY AREA

■ Never reach into washer while it is moving.

Wait until the machine has completely stopped
before opening the lid.

■ Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or

acids such as vinegar and/or rust remover.
Mixing different chemicals can produce
a toxic gas which may cause death.

■ 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 or place these substances
around your washer or dryer during operation.

■

The laundry process can reduce the flame
retardancy of fabrics. To avoid such a result,
carefully follow the garment manufacturer’s
wash and care instructions.

■ To minimize the possibility of electric shock,

unplug this appliance from the power supply
or disconnect the washer at the building’s
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, or pressing PAUSE does NOT
disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

■ Never attempt to operate this appliance if it is

damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled, or
has missing or broken parts, including a damaged
cord or plug.

WHEN USING THE WASHER

■ Turn off water faucets to relieve pressure on hoses

and valves and to minimize leakage if a break or
rupture should occur. Check the condition of the
fill hoses; they should be replaced every 5 years.

■ Before discarding a washer, or removing it

from service, remove the washer lid to prevent
children from hiding inside.

■ Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of

this appliance unless specifically recommended in
this Owner’s Manual, or in published user-repair
instructions that you understand and have the
skills to carry out.

■ Do not tamper with controls.

WHEN NOT IN USE

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

appliance
only for its
intended
purpose as
described in
this Owner’s
Manual.
