Sanitize with Oxi

The Sanitize with Oxi cycle, when using an Oxi additive along with your detergent, is designed to remove 99.9% of bacteria found in home laundry. Measure the detergent and the Oxi products carefully. Using the amounts appropriate for a large heavily soiled load, follow the detergent and the Oxi product label instructions. The detergent should be added using the dispenser instructions as shown on page 9 of this guide. Place the Oxi product directly in the bottom of the wash basket, before adding the clothes. The washer hot water supply connection must provide a minimum of 120°F to ensure the effectiveness of this cycle. NOTE: The default Sanitize With Oxi cycle water temperature can NOT be changed. The

Sanitize With Oxi cycle is certified by NSF International, an independent third party testing and certification organization. The

certification verified that the cycle reduced 99.9% of bacteria typically found in residential laundry and that no significant contamination is transferred to subsequent washer loads. Only the Sanitize With Oxi cycle has been designed to meet the requirements of NSF Protocol P172 for sanitizing effectiveness.

Stain Removal Guide

The Stain Removal Guide feature allows you to indicate what stains are on the garments in your load. This feature incorporates a patent pending treatment method. An initial water fill is performed at a temperature tailored to the stain type selected and to an amount which enables a concentrated cleaning step. A stain scrubbing period, followed by an active soak, is conducted to effectively treat the stain. Then additional water is added to the selected temperature and the wash phase is conducted for the cycle selected.

This feature can be applied to most wash cycles as described in the cycle guide.

To use Stain Removal Guide:

1. Select the desired wash cycle.

2. Press the Stain Removal Guide button. Continue to press to select Tomato stain, Wine stain, Blood stain, Grass stain or Dirt stain. The indicator light will show the selected stain.

To select a different stain, press the Stain Removal Guide button until desired stain to be removed is lit. To turn off Stain Removal Guide, press until no indicator lights are illuminated.

NOTE: The Soil and Temperature levels will be changed to match the recommended default setting for each stain type. Turning off Stain Removal Guide will return the settings to default.

Operating instructions.

Settings

Individual settings for agitation (Soil), water temperature (Temp), and spin (Spin) can be set from the minimum (lowest in column) to maximum (highest in column). In general, the higher up the column, the more washer energy will be used.

NOTE: Longer Spin times typically reduce dryer time/energy usage (i.e. reduces total energy when using both a washer and a dryer).

Cycle Options

Deep Fill

Select the Deep Fill feature for loads where extra water is needed. Press the Deep Fill button once before starting the cycle to add an incremental amount of water to the wash load. Holding the Deep Fill button for 3 seconds will provide the deepest fill level possible; this will increase cycle time due to the additional time it takes to fill the washer.

To cancel the option if desired, press the Deep Fill button again. NOTE: The Deep Fill button can also be pressed after the washer has completed filling and is in the wash phase if additional water is

desired. To stop the extra fill, press the Deep Fill button again and the water will stop.

Warm Rinse

Provides a warm rinse to your wash load. Note that rinsing operations may be different with this operation selected in order to effectively apply the warm rinse water to your load.

Auto Soak

This option begins with a brief agitation, soaks for a specified period of time, then moves through the rest of the cycle automatically. Repeated pressing of the Soak button will scroll through 15 minute, 30 minute, 1 hour, 2 hour, 4 hour and 8 hour selections and then return back to 0 soak minutes.

Deep Rinse

Set this option to provide a deep rinse or when using fabric softener. It may change other settings (e.g. Spin may go to a higher setting) to maximize performance.

Delay Wash

When the Delay Wash button is repeatedly pressed, the delay time is set from 1 (01H) to 9 (09H) hours and back to clear (00H) hours. If you press and hold the Delay Wash button for 3 seconds, it will immediately reset.

Extra Rinse

When you use extra detergent or bleach to clean heavily soiled clothes, use the Extra Rinse option to better remove additional residues. NOTE: This option is not allowed for some cycles.

Additional Options

My Cycle Settings

As the cycle selector knob is turned, the Temp, Soil and Spin settings change to automatic pre-set default settings for each cycle. If you desire different default settings, select the desired options or changes to the cycle settings, then press and hold the My Cycle button for 3 seconds to store them. The My Cycle button will light when active. In the future, when you turn the selector knob to that cycle, your settings will be automatically recalled. To restore the factory defaults temporarily (i.e. for this load), press the My Cycle button for 1/2 second. The My Cycle light will turn off and the factory defaults will load. However, the next time you select this cycle, your My Cycle settings will load. If you wish to permanently restore the factory default settings for the cycle; when the My Cycle is active (button light on) press and hold the My Cycle button for 3 seconds. The factory defaults will load for the selected cycle and the My Cycle light will turn off. The default settings will load when this cycle is selected in the future and the My Cycle light will remain off. NOTE: My Cycle saves the following options: Temp, Soil, Spin, Extra Rinse, Deep Fill, Warm Rinse, Auto Soak, Deep Rinse and Stain Removal Guide.

Volume

Use the Volume button to change the volume of the end of cycle signal and other system tones. Press the button until you reach the desired volume (high, medium, low) or off.

Control Lock

Use the control lock before or during a cycle to prevent any selections from being made. To lock/unlock the washer controls, press and hold the Warm Rinse and Auto Soak buttons for 3 seconds. The control lock icon will light

up when it is on. NOTE: The Power button can still be used when the machine is locked.

Loading and using the washer.

Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care label when laundering.

Proper Use of Detergent

GEAppliances.com

Using too little or too much detergent is a common cause of laundry problems.

Use less detergent if you have soft water, a smaller load or a lightly soiled load.

For spots, apply pre-treatment to items as recommended on the product label. Application should be made in the basket to prevent overspray which may cause the coloring on the lid or graphics to fade.

Place detergent pods in the bottom of the wash basket before adding clothes.

GE recommends the use of High Efficiency detergents such as HE detergents are formulated to work with low water wash and rinse systems. HE detergents reduce the oversudsing problems commonly associated with regular detergents.

When using high efficiency or concentrated detergents, consult the product label to determine amount required for optimum performance. Excessive detergent will negatively impact wash performance.

in your energy efficient washer.

Sorting Wash Loads

Sort by color (whites, lights, colors), soil level, fabric type (sturdy cottons, easy care, delicates) and whether the fabric produces lint (terry cloth, chenille) or collects lint (velveteen, corduroy). Wash lint producers such as cotton towels and socks separate from lint collectors including synthetic garments and dress pants.

WARNING

Never place items in the washer that are dampened with gasoline or other flammable liquids. No washer can completely remove oil. Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on it (including cooking oils). Doing so so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

About washer features.

Automatic Load Sensing

This determines the correct agitate profile, agitate duration and amount of water suited to the size and type of load placed in the washer. The washer will not start the wash cycle or fill with water if the lid is open. When the lid is closed the machine is able to begin filling with water in order to sense the load size.

NOTE: Automatic Load Sensing initiates a spin at the beginning of the cycle and will take as much as 3 minutes to complete (significantly shorter for smaller loads); this is normal operation.

NOTE: This is a high efficiency washing machine with Infusor wash action. This system requires less water while providing effective cleaning action. You may notice that the water level is lower than on your previous washer. This is normal for an Infusor-equipped washer.

Detergent Dispenser

Liquid or powdered HE detergent should be added to the right side of the dispenser drawer. Follow the detergent manufacturer’s

recommendations for the correct amount of detergent, based on load size, taking care to add detergent to the right compartment. Do not overfill or dilute detergent as this can result in additive being dispensed prematurely in the wash cycle. Your option selections will determine when detergent is automatically dispensed at its optimal time in the wash cycle.

NOTE: Single-dose laundry packets should not be added to the dispenser drawer, as they will not dispense properly. Put packets in bottom of wash basket.

Liquid Fabric Softener Dispenser

Liquid fabric softener should be added to the left side of the dispenser drawer. Follow the liquid fabric softener manufacturer’s recommendations for the correct amount of softener, based on load size, taking care to add softener to the left compartment. Do not overfill or dilute softener as this can result in additive being dispensed prematurely in the wash cycle. Your option selections will determine when liquid fabric softener is automatically dispensed at its optimal time in the rinse cycle.

NOTE: Fabric softener crystals should not be added to the dispenser drawer, as they will not dispense properly.

Liquid Bleach

Liquid chlorine bleach should be added through the bleach dispenser in the front left corner. Follow bleach manufacturer’s recommendations for the correct amount of liquid chlorine bleach based on load size, taking care to not apply or spill it directly on clothing.

NOTE: Do not use liquid chlorine bleach and laundry pretreatments such as an Oxi product in the same wash load.

Pretreatment

Place laundry pretreatments, such as an Oxi product, directly in the bottom of the wash basket before loading clothes.

NOTE: Do not use liquid chlorine bleach and laundry pretreatments such as an Oxi product in the same wash load.

Care and cleaning of the washer.

Exterior of the Washer

Immediately wipe off any spills with a damp cloth.

Interior of the Washer

To clean the interior of the washer, select the

Basket Clean feature on the control panel. This Basket Clean cycle should be performed, at a

minimum, once per month. This cycle will use more water, in addition to bleach, to control the rate at which soils and detergents may accumulate in your washer.

NOTE: Read the instructions below completely before starting the Basket Clean cycle.

1. Remove any garments or objects from the

washer and ensure the washer basket is

empty.

2. Open the washer lid and pour one cup or 250

ml of liquid bleach or other washing machine cleaner into the basket.

3. Close the lid and select the Basket Clean cycle. Push the Start button.

Cleaning the Dispenser Drawer

After some period of use, a small amount of detergent or softener residue may be present in the dispenser drawer. The drawer can easily be removed for cleaning. To remove the drawer, pull it out until the drawer stops and then lift up on the front of the drawer. The drawer can then be removed from the dispenser box. Wash the drawer in warm, soapy water using a mild detergent. Rinse drawer with warm water. If siphon caps are removed for cleaning, be sure to push siphon caps fully back into place after cleaning.

4. When the Basket Clean cycle is working, the

display will show the estimated cycle time remaining. Do not interrupt the cycle.

Basket Clean may be interrupted by pressing the Start button in between cycles. A power outage

in the house might also interrupt the cycle. When the power supply is back, the Basket Clean cycle resumes where it had stopped. When interrupted, be sure to run a complete Basket Clean cycle before using the washer. If the Power button is pressed during Basket Clean, the cycle will be lost.

IMPORTANT:



Run Basket Clean with 1 Cup (250 ml) of

bleach once a month.

After the completion of a Basket Clean cycle,



the interior of your washer may have a bleach smell.

The dispenser drawer and siphon caps are not dishwasher safe. The dispenser box is not removable, but it can be wiped clean using a damp cloth if necessary. Do not attempt to remove the dispenser box for cleaning.
