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.com, or by calling 800.GE.CARES (800.432.2737).

WHEN USING THE WASHER
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.
■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 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.
■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.

Control settings.
Load Size
Loosely load clothes no higher than the top row of holes in the washer tub. The water level should just cover the clothes. Adjust the load size accordingly.
Wash/Spin Speed (on some models)
The agitator moves clothes around for a cleaner wash; the basket spins later in the cycle to release water from the load. The Wash/Spin Speed dial sets the speed of both the agitator and the basket.
Wash Speeds
Use Fast wash speed for cottons, denims, and play clothes.
Use Slow wash speed for delicate and knit items.
Spin Speeds
The Fast spin speed is for durable items.
The Slow spin speed is for delicate items like sweaters and lingerie. Clothes will be less dry than when using the Fast spin speed.
Temperature
Select the water temperature for the wash and rinse cycles. Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care label or instructions when laundering.
Wash Cycle
The wash cycle controls the length of the washing process. The chart below will help you match the wash cycle setting with your clothing.
COTTONS/ For heavy to lightly soiled cottons, household linens, work and play clothes.
WHITES
EASY CARE For wrinkle-free and permanent press items, and knits.
CASUALS A gentler way to clean clothes.
PULSE AGITATE This cycle agitates and then pauses to soak your clothes, simulating hand washing.
GENTLE The HEAVY cycle has three agitate/pause cycles to clean your heavily soiled items.
The MEDIUM cycle has two agitate/pause cycles, and the LIGHT cycle has one agitate/pause cycle.
The washer will fill with water to the chosen level when the washer is started in any part of the CASUALS cycle.
If the washer is started in the pause/soak portion of the cycle, then the washer will complete this soak before it begins to agitate. This is normal.
DELICATES For lingerie and special-care fabrics with light to normal soil.
POWER WASH For heavily soiled and heavy-duty fabrics. This cycle provides a longer agitation.
