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 calling us toll-free at the
GE Answer Center®, 800.626.2000.
Customer ServiceTroubleshooting TipsOperating InstructionsSafety Instructions
■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 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 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 may need replacement after 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

The water level should just cover the clothes. Adjust the load size accordingly. Loosely load clothes
no higher than the top row of holes in the washer tub.
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

COTTONS For heavy to lightly soiled cottons, household linens, work and play clothes.
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 SOIL 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

washer will complete this soak before it begins to agitate. This is normal.
