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 building's
distribution panel by removing the fuse or
switching off the circuit breaker before attempting
any maintenance or cleaning. NOTE: Pressing the
power button does NOT disconnect the appliance
from the power supply.
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; GE recommends
changing the hoses every 5 years.
Before discarding a washer, or removing it
from service, remove the washer door to prevent
children from hiding inside.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

the washer.
The washer is equipped with an electrical

has not been manually turned off
during this time.

this appliance unless specifically recommended
in this Owner's Manual, or in published user-repair
