Operating Instructions Safety InstructionsConsumer Support Troubleshooting Tips

■ 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:

Pressing

START or STOP 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

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

■ Install or store where it will not be exposed to

temperatures below freezing or exposed to the weather.

■ Remove the colored protective film from the

control panel.

■ 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.
