Proper Use of
Detergent
Care and
Cleaning of
the Washer
18
Using too much detergent is a common cause
of laundry problems. Today's detergents are
formulated to be effective without highly visible
sudsing. Be sure to carefully read and follow
manufacturer's recommendations for how
much detergent to use in your wash.
Lid: Wash with a damp cloth on the outside and
inside and dry with a soft cloth.
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.
Exterior: Immediately wipe off any spills. Wipe
with damp cloth. Do not touch the surface or
the Touch Screen with sharp objects.
Moving and Storage: Ask the service
technician to remove water from drain
pump and hoses. For more information, visit
www. GEAppliances.com or call 800.GE.CARES
(800.432.2737). Do not store the washer where
it will be exposed to the weather.
Long Vacations: Be sure water supply is shut off
at faucets. Drain all water from hoses if weather
will be below freezing.
Dispenser Drawers: Detergent and fabric
softener may build up in the dispenser drawer.
Residue should be removed once or twice a
month.
1 Remove the drawer by pulling it straight out
until it stops. Lift up on the front of the
drawer and pull it out.
Loading and Using the Washer

You can use less detergent if you have soft water,
a smaller load or a lightly soiled load.
NOTE: Use only low-sudsing, high-efficiency
detergent such as Tide ®
2 Remove the inserts from the 3 compartments;
rinse the inserts and the drawer with warm
water to remove traces of accumulated
laundry products.
3 To clean the drawer opening, use a small,
non-metal brush to clean the recess. Remove
all residue from the upper and lower parts
of the recess.
4 Return the inserts to the proper
compartments and replace the drawer.
