Darks
Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first. Large items should not be more than half the total
wash load.
Do not wash single items. This may cause an out-of-balance load. Add one or two similar items.
Loading the Washer
Wash drum may be fully loaded with loosely
added items. Do not wash fabrics containing
flammable materials (waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.).
Care and Cleaning
Exterior: Immediately wipe off any spills. Wipe with damp cloth. Try not to hit surface with
sharp objects.
Interior: Dry around the washer door opening, flexible gasket and door glass. These areas should
always be clean to ensure a water tight seal.
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.
