Profile

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

The instructions in this manual and all other literature included with this washer are not meant to cover every possible condition and situation that may occur. Good, safe practices and caution MUST be applied when installing, operating and maintaining any appliance.

WATER HEATER SAFETY

Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two weeks or more. Hydrogen gas can be explosive under these circumstances.

If the hot water has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning on all hot water faucets and allowing them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical appliance which is connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will allow any built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or appliance during this process.

PROPER INSTALLATION

This washer must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.

Install or store where it will not be exposed to temperatures below freezing or exposed to the weather, which could cause permanent damage and invalidate the warranty.

• Properly ground washer to conform with all governing codes and ordinances. Follow details in Installation Instructions.

YOUR LAUNDRY AREA

• Keep the area underneath and around your appliances free of combustible materials such as lint, paper, rags and chemicals.

• Do not leave the washer door open. An open door could entice children to hang on the door or crawl inside the washer.

• Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is used by or near children. Do not allow children to play on, with or inside this or any other appliance.

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner's Manual.

WHEN USING THE WASHER

• Never reach into washer while it is moving. Wait until the machine has completely stopped before opening the door.
• Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar and/or rust remover. Mixing different chemicals can produce a toxic gas which may cause death.

• Do not wash or dry articles that have been cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with combustible or explosive substances (such as wax, oil, paint, gasoline, degreasers, dry-cleaning solvents, kerosene, etc.) which may ignite or explode. Do not add these substances to the wash water. Do not use or place these substances around your washer or dryer during operation.
  The laundry process can reduce the flame retardancy of fabrics. To avoid such a result, carefully follow the garment manufacturer's wash and care instructions.
  To minimize the possibility of electric shock, unplug this appliance from the power supply or disconnect the washer at the building's distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. NOTE: Pressing the power button does NOT disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

• Never attempt to operate this appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled, or has missing or broken parts, including a damaged cord or plug.
  Do not slam the washer door closed. Do not try to force the door open when locked (LOCKED indicator ON). This could result in damage to the washer.
  The washer is equipped with an electrical overload protector. The motor will stop if it becomes overheated. The washer will automatically restart after a cool-down period of up to 2 hours, if the washer has not been manually turned off during this time.

WHEN NOT IN USE

Turn off water faucets to relieve pressure on hoses and valves and to minimize leakage if a break or rupture should occur. Check the condition of the fill hoses; they should be replaced every 5 years.
Before discarding a washer, or removing it from service, remove the washer door to prevent children from hiding inside.

• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of this appliance unless specifically recommended in this Owner's Manual, or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.
  Do not tamper with controls.

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

About the washer features.

The 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 bleach, fabric softener or detergent.

You may see water in the bleach and fabric softener compartments 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.

The Prewash Compartment

Only use the Prewash Compartment if you are selecting the Prewash cycle for heavily soiled clothes. Add measured detergent or prewash additive to the back left prewash compartment of the dispenser drawer.

Detergent or prewash additive is flushed from the dispenser in the prewash cycle (if selected).

NOTE: Liquid detergent will drain into the washer drum as it is added.

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 as it can lead to over suding and leave detergent residue on the clothes.

Insert in rear position for powder detergent

Insert in forward position for liquid detergent

The Detergent Compartment

Only use high-efficiency detergent in this washer. MAX line is for normal detergent. DO NOT fill above the MAX line.

DO NOT fill high-efficiency detergent to the MAX line. Use detergent manufacturer's recommended amount.

The detergent selection insert must be placed in the detergent compartment in a specific position according to the type of detergent you are using.

■ Powder Detergent - Place the insert in the rear position. The Powder Icons must line up on center when the insert is in the powder position.
Liquid Detergent - Place the insert in the forward position. The Liquid Icons must line up on center when the insert is in the liquid position.

Move the insert by pulling it up and replace it by sliding it down between either the rear or front detergent compartment molded rails, as desired, for powder or liquid detergent.

Add measured detergent to the front left detergent compartment of the dispenser drawer.
Detergent is flushed from the dispenser at the beginning of the wash cycle. Either powdered or liquid 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 as it can lead to oversudsing and detergent residue being left on the clothes.
DO NOT put clumped detergent in the dispenser. Clumped detergent can cause a leak.

The Liquid Bleach Compartment

If desired, measure out the recommended amount of liquid bleach, not to exceed 1/3 cup (80 ml) and pour into the center compartment labeled "LIQUID BLEACH" marked with this symbol.

It is recommended to use High-Efficiency (HE) bleach in this front-load washer.

Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the bleach which could result in damaged clothes.

NOTE: Do not use powdered bleach in the dispenser.

10

The 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.

Loading and using the washer.

Always follow fabric manufacturer's care label when laundering. GEAppliances.com

Sorting Wash Loads

Colors	Soil	Fabric	Lint
Whites	Heavy	Delicates	Lint Producers
Lights	Normal	Easy Care	Lint Collectors
Darks	Light	Sturdy Cottons

Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first. Large items should not be more than half the total wash load.
■ Washing single items is not recommended. This may cause an out-of-balance load. Add one or two similar items.
■ Pillows and comforters should not be mixed with other items. This may cause an out-of-balance load.
- Sort dark-colored clothes from light-colored clothes to prevent dye transfer. This is a high-efficiency washer, so it uses less water, making dye transfer more common.

Loading the Washer

The wash drum may be fully loaded with loosely added items. Do not wash garments containing flammable materials (waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.).

To add items after the washer has started, press START/PAUSE and wait until the door is unlatched. The washer may take up to 30 seconds to unlock the door after pressing START/PAUSE, depending on the machine conditions. Do not try to force the door open when it is locked. After the door unlocks, open gently. Add items, close the door and press START/PAUSE to restart.

Care and Cleaning/General Maintenance

Exterior: Immediately wipe off any spills. Wipe with damp cloth. Do not hit surface with sharp objects.

Interior: Dry around the washer door opening, flexible gasket (including attached hoses) and door glass. These areas should always be clean to ensure a water-tight seal.

It is recommended to rinse the washer at least once per month with 1 cup of bleach (or other commercially available product manufactured for this purpose) poured into the prewash section of the dispenser (no clothes) using the BASKET CLEAN CYCLE (found in the SPECIALTY CYCLES menu). Check to ensure the steam nozzle is not clogged. Clean the nozzle if necessary.

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. When moving the washer, the tub should be kept stationary by using the shipping bolts removed during installation. See Installation Instructions in this manual. If these parts are not available, they can be ordered by visiting our Website at GEAppliances.com or by calling 800.GE.CARES.

Long Vacations: Be sure water supply is shut off at faucets. Drain all water from hoses if weather will be below freezing.

Clean Pump Filter

Due to the nature of the front-load washer, it is sometimes possible for small articles to pass to the pump. The washer has a filter to capture lost items so they are not dumped to the drain. To retrieve lost items, clean out the pump filter.

1. Using a coin in the notch on the door, open the access door.
2. Place a shallow pan or dish under the pump access door and towels on the floor in front of the washer to protect the floor. It is normal to catch about a cup of water when the filter is removed.
3. Turn the pump filter counterclockwise and remove the filter.
4. Clean the debris from the filter.
5. Replace the filter and turn clockwise to the marked position.
6. Close the access door.

Cleaning the Door Gasket

Open the washer door. Using both hands, press down the door gasket. Remove any foreign objects if found trapped inside the gasket. Make sure there is nothing blocking the holes behind the gasket.

While holding down the door gasket, inspect the interior gasket by pulling it down with your fingers. Remove any foreign objects if found trapped inside this gasket. Make sure there is nothing blocking the holes behind the gasket.

When you are finished cleaning the door gasket, remove your hands and the gaskets will return to the operating position.

Lock tab is visible only after drawer has been pulled out

Dispenser Drawing Area: Detergent and fabric softener may build up in the dispenser drawer. Residue should be removed once or twice a month.

Remove the drawer by first pulling it out until it stops. Then reach back into the right rear corner of the drawer cavity and press down firmly on the lock tab, pulling out the drawer.

• Remove the insert from the bleach and fabric softener compartments and the detergent insert. Rinse the inserts and the drawer with hot water to remove traces of accumulated laundry products.

To clean the drawer opening, use a small brush to clean the recess. Remove all residue from the upper and lower parts of the recess.
Return inserts to the proper compartments. Replace the dispenser drawer.

To reduce buildup in the Dispenser Drawer area:

Use only HE High-Efficiency detergent.

UNPACKING THE WASHER

WARNING: Recycle or destroy the carton and plastic bags after the washer is unpacked. Make materials inaccessible to children. Children might use them for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers causing suffocation.

1. Cut and remove the top and bottom packaging straps.
2. While it is in the carton, carefully lay the washer on its side. DO NOT lay the washer on its front or back.
3. Turn down the bottom flaps—remove all base packaging, including the cardboard, styrofoam base and styrofoam tub support (inserted in center of base). Save the stacking brackets located on the styrofoam pad that covered the top of the washer.

NOTE: If you are installing a pedestal, proceed to the installation instructions that come with the pedestal.

1. Carefully return the washer to an upright position and remove the carton.
2. Carefully move the washer to within 4 feet (122 cm) of the final location.
3. Remove the following from the back side of the washer: 4 bolts 4 plastic spacers (including rubber grommets) 4 power cord retainers
4. Remove the shipping bolt. Insert plug into shipping bolt hole.

NOTE: Failure to remove the shipping braces can cause the washer to become severely unbalanced.

Save all bolts for future use.

NOTE: If you must transport the washer at a later date, you must reinstall the shipping support hardware to prevent shipping damage. Keep the hardware in the plastic bag provided.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

WARNING-TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND PERSONAL INJURY:

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD OR AN ADAPTER PLUG WITH THIS APPLIANCE.

Washer must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances, or in the absence of local codes, in accordance with the NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE, ANSI/NFPA NO. 70.

CIRCUIT - Individual, properly polarized and grounded 15-amp branch circuit fused with 15-amp time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.

POWER SUPPLY - 2-wire, with ground, 120-volt, single-phase, 60-Hz, Alternating Current.

OUTLET RECEPTACLE - Properly grounded 3-prong receptacle to be located so the power supply cord is accessible when the washer is in an installed position.

GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a licensed electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

1. The washer MUST be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance for electrical current.
2. Since your washer is equipped with a power supply cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug, the plug MUST be plugged into an appropriate, copper-wired receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Codes, ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition). If in doubt, call a licensed electrician. DO NOT cut off or alter the grounding prong on the power supply cord. In situations where a two-slot receptacle is present, it is the owner's responsibility to have a licensed electrician replace it with a properly grounded three-prong grounding-type receptacle.

WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

Hot and cold water faucets MUST be installed within 42 inches (107 cm) of your washer's water inlet. The faucets MUST be 3/4'' (1.9 cm) garden hose-type so inlet hoses can be connected. Water pressure MUST be between 10 and 120 pounds per square inch. Your water department can advise you of your water pressure. The hot water temperature should be set to deliver water at 120^ to 140^ F (48^ - 60^) to provide proper Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) performance.

NOTE: A water softener is recommended to reduce buildup of scale inside the steam generator if the home water supply is very hard.

DRAIN REQUIREMENTS

1. Drain capable of eliminating 17 gals (64.3 L) per minute.
2. A standpipe diameter of 114'' (3.18 cm) minimum.
3. The standpipe height above the floor should be:

Minimum height: 24" (61 cm)
Maximum height: 96" (244 cm)

NOTE: The drain hose attached to the washer can reach a 58"(147 cm) high standpipe. For a higher standpipe, contact an authorized parts distributor.

INSTALLING THE WASHER

1. Run some water from the hot and cold faucets to flush the water lines and remove particles that might clog the water valve screens.

2. Remove the inlet hoses from the plastic bag.

3. (90^ elbow end) Carefully connect the inlet hose marked HOT to the outside "H" outlet of the water valve. Tighten by hand, then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers. Carefully connect the other inlet hose to the inside "C" outlet of the water valve. Tighten by hand; then tighten another 2/3 turn with or over-tighten these connec

1. Connect the inlet hose ends to the HOT and COLD water faucets tightly by hand, then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers. Turn the water on and check for leaks.

1. Carefully move the washer to its final location. Gently rock the washer into position. It is important not to damage the rubber leveling legs when moving your washer to its final location. Damaged legs can increase washer vibration. It may be helpful to spray window cleaner on the floor to help move your washer into its final position. NOTE: To reduce vibration, ensure that all four rubber leveling legs are firmly touching the floor. Push and pull on the back right and then back left of your washer.

NOTE: Do not use the dispenser drawer or door to lift the washer.

NOTE: If you are installing into a drain pan, you can use a 24-inch long 2 × 4 to lever the washer into place.

1. With the washer in its final position, place a level on top of the washer (if the washer is installed under a counter, the washer should not be able to rock). Adjust the front

leveling legs up or down to ensure the washer is resting solidly. Turn the lock nuts on each leg up toward the base of the washer and snug with a wrench.

NOTE: Keep the leg extension at a minimum to prevent excessive vibration. The farther out the legs are extended, the more the washer will vibrate.

If the floor is not level or is damaged, you may have to extend the rear leveling legs.

INSTALLING THE WASHER (cont.)

1. Attach U-shaped hose guide to the end of the drain hose. Place the hose in a laundry tub or standpipe and secure it with the cable tie provided in the enclosure package.

NOTE: If the drain hose is placed in a standpipe without forming a U shape, a siphoning action could occur. There must be an air gap around the drain hose. A snug hose fit can also cause a siphoning action.

1. Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.

NOTE: Check to be sure the power is off at the circuit breaker/fuse box before plugging the power cord into an outlet.

1. Turn on the power at the circuit breaker/fuse box.
2. Read the rest of this Owner's Manual. It contains valuable and helpful information that will save you time and money.
3. Before starting the washer, check to make sure:

Main power is turned on.
The washer is plugged in.
The water faucets are turned on.
The unit is level and all four leveling legs are firmly on the floor.
The shipping support hardware is removed and saved.
The drain hose is properly tied up.
There are no leaks at the faucet, drain line or washer.

1. Run the washer through a complete cycle. Check for water leaks and proper operation.
2. If your washer does not operate, please review the Before You Call For Service section before calling for service.
3. Place these instructions in a location near the washer for future reference.
