Loading And Using The Washer - GE WBSE3120B3CC Owner's Manual

About washer features.

Loading and using the 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).
Proper Use of Detergent
Add detergent and start the washer before adding
clothes so that the detergent can work effectively.
Using too little or too much detergent is a
common cause of laundry problems.
Loading the Washer
Load dry items loosely, no higher than the top row
of holes in the washer basket. When loading wet
items, make sure you set the load/water level high
enough to allow the items to move freely. Water
level should just cover the clothes. To add items
after washer has started, lift the lid and submerge
additional items next to the agitator.

The Agitator Cap or Fabric Softener Dispenser (depending on model)
The agitator cap fits into the top of the
agitator. If it accidentally comes off, simply
put it back on.
The fabric softener dispenser automatically
releases liquid fabric softener at the proper
time during the cycle.
Do not stop the washer during the first spin.
This will cause the dispenser to empty too
soon.
To use, follow these steps:
Make sure dispenser is securely
1
attached to agitator.
Use only liquid fabric softener.
2
Pour into dispenser, using amount
recommended on package.
Never pour fabric softener directly on
clothes. It may stain them.
Always follow fabric manufacturer's care label when laundering.
Add water to dispenser until it reaches
3
the maximum fill line.
Do not pour anything into the agitator
if the agitator cap or dispenser is removed.
You can use less detergent if you have soft water,
a smaller load or a lightly soiled load.
I Do not wrap long items like sheets or pants around
the agitator.
I Do not wash fabrics containing flammable materials
(waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.).
I Agitation will not start with the lid up.
