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 tub. 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, open the lid and add the
additional items. Close the lid and the washer
will continue washing.
Care and Cleaning of the Washer
Wash Basket: Leave the lid open after washing to
allow moisture to evaporate. If you want to clean the
basket use a clean soft cloth dampened with liquid
detergent, then rinse. (Do not use harsh or gritty
cleaners.)
Fill Hoses: Hoses connecting washer to faucet should
be replaced every 5 years.
Lint Filter: The lint filter is located at the bottom of
the agitator. It should be cleaned after every load
for the best filtering results.
Always follow fabric manufacturer's care label when laundering.

You can use less detergent if you have soft water, a
smaller load, or a lightly soiled load.
Do not wrap large items like sheets around the
agitator.
Do not wash fabrics containing flammable
materials (waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.).
When the lid is up, the washer will not agitate and
the tub will not fill with water.
Exterior: Immediately wipe off any spills. Wipe with
damp cloth. Try not to hit surface with sharp objects.
Moving and Storage: Ask the service technician to
remove water from drain pump and hoses. Do not
store the washer where it will be exposed to the
weather. In the United States call the GE Answer
®
Center , 800.626.2000 for information on how to
keep the tub stationary when moving the washer. In
Canada write to Manager, Consumer Relations,
Camco Inc., 1 Factory Lane, Suite 310, Moncton,
N.B. E1C 9M3.
Long Vacations: Be sure water supply is shut off at
faucets. Drain all water from hoses if weather will
be below freezing.
