Operating Instructions - GE MTW201 Owner's Manual & Installation Instructions

Operating instructions.

A
Start/Pause
Press Start to begin the cycle. NOTE: The lid must be closed for the washer to start the cycle. If the lid is closed, the lid will lock and the Lid
Locked light will illuminate.
Pressing Pause will unlock the lid (if locked at that time), pause the cycle and the Pause indicator light will blink.
To continue the cycle, press Start again. If machine is paused more than 24 hours, the cycle will be cancelled. If water remains in the
machine, select the Drain & Spin cycle to drain basket and spin water out of the washer basket.
B Cycle Status Lights
Shows whether the washer is in the Fill, Soak, Wash, Rinse or Spin portion of the cycle.
If an out-of-balance condition is detected by the washer, the Spin light will blink during the remaining portion of the cycle and will
stay illuminated for a short time after cycle completion. When this occurs, the washer is taking actions to correct the out-of- balance
condition and complete the cycle normally. In some cases, the washer may not be able to balance the load and spin up to full
speed. If you notice the load is more wet than normal at the end of the cycle, redistribute the load evenly in the wash basket and
run a Drain & Spin cycle.
C
Settings
Select settings for agitation (Soil) and water temperature (Temp).
NOTE: Longer Spin times typically reduce dryer time/energy usage (i.e. reduces total energy when using both a washer and a dryer).
D
Wash Cycles-Cycle Selector Knob
The wash cycle controls the type of washing process. The cycle selector knob can be turned in either direction. Turning the kn ob after
starting a cycle will stop the washer and change the cycle/options to the new selection. Press Start to begin the new cycle selection.
The chart below will help you match the items to be washed with the best wash cycle settings. For optimal performance, select the
cycle that most closely matches the items being washed.
Selections and options shown in bold are the recommended settings for that cycle.
Some cycles and options may not be available on some models.
