Operating Instructions Safety InstructionsConsumer Support Troubleshooting Tips

■ Install or store where it will not be exposed to
temperatures below freezing or exposed to the
weather, which could cause permanent damage
and invalidate the warranty.

■ 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 www.geappliances.ca, or by calling 1.800.361.3400.

YOUR LAUNDRY AREA

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

WHEN USING THE WASHER

■ 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.). These substances give
off vapors that 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 NOT IN USE

■ 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 user­repair instructions that you understand and
have the skills to carry out.

■ Do not tamper with controls.

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
