Dispenser Drawer; Detergent Compartment; Fabric Softener Compartment - GE GFW148 Owner's Manual And Installation Instructions

Getting started

Dispenser Drawer

Slowly open the dispenser drawer by pulling it out until it
stops.
After adding laundry products, slowly close the dispenser
drawer. Closing the drawer too quickly could result in early
dispensing of the fabric softener or detergent.
You may see water in the fabric softener compartment at
the end of the cycle. This is a result of the flushing/siphoning
action and is part of the normal operation of the washer.
Use only HE High-Efficiency detergent.

Detergent Compartment

• Only use high-efficiency detergent in this washer. Use
the detergent manufacturer's recommended amount.
DO NOT fill above the MAX line.
The detergent compartment is in the left side of the dispenser
drawer. The detergent cavity (cup removed) is used for powder
detergent, and the detergent cup is used for liquid detergent.
• Powder Detergent – Remove the detergent cup and
pour the suggested amount of powder detergent into the
detergent cavity.
• Liquid Detergent – Leave the detergent cup in the drawer
and pour liquid detergent into the cup. Do not fill above the
MAX line.
• Add measured detergent to the left detergent compartment
of the dispenser drawer.
• Detergent is flushed from the dispenser at the beginning
of the wash cycle. Either powdered or liquid high-efficiency
detergent can be used.
• Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water
temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the
load. Avoid using too much detergent in your washer since
it can lead to oversudsing and detergent residue being left
on the clothes.

Fabric Softener Compartment

If desired, pour the recommended amount of liquid fabric
softener into the compartment labeled "Fabric Softener."
Use only liquid fabric softener in the dispenser.
Dilute with water to the maximum fill line.
Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling can cause
early dispensing of the fabric softener, which could stain
clothes.
NOTE: Do not pour fabric softener directly on the wash load.
