IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

WARNING
To reduce the risk of death, fire, explosion, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• Read all instructions before using the appliance.

• Follow all fabric care instructions and warnings to prevent melting of garments or damage to the appliance.

• DO NOT wash or dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances, as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

• DO NOT add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water.
  These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot-water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using a washing machine, turn on all hot-water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, DO NOT smoke or use an open flame during this time.

• DO NOT allow children to play on or in this appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when this appliance is used near children. Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the door or lid. Failure to follow these instructions may result in death or injury to persons.

• DO NOT reach into the appliance if the tub or agitator is moving to prevent accidental entanglement.

• For waterproof, water-resistant and bulky items, only use the BEDDING (or DELICATES) cycle. DO NOT use other cycles for these items. Using other cycles can cause excessive vibration and may result in injury or damage to the washer, walls, or floor. DO NOT mix waterproof and non-waterproof items.

• DO NOT install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.

• DO NOT tamper with controls, repair or replace any part of this appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the user maintenance instructions or in published user repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

• DO NOT operate this appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled, or has missing or broken parts including a damaged cord or plug.

• Unplug the appliance or turn off the circuit breaker before servicing. Pressing the Power button DOES NOT disconnect power.

• DO NOT climb on or stand on this unit.

• See “ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS” located in the Installation Instructions for grounding instructions.

Proper Disposal of your Appliance

• Dispose of or recycle your appliance in accordance with Federal and Local Regulations. Contact your local authorities for the environmentally safe disposal or recycling of your appliance.

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

• Ensure that the hot water hose is connected to the “H” valve and the cold water hose is connected to the “C” valve.
• 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.

• GE Appliances strongly recommends the use of factory-specified parts. A list of factory hoses available for purchase are listed. These hoses are manufactured and tested to meet GE Appliances specifications.
• GE Appliances strongly recommends the use of new water supply hoses. Hoses degrade over time and need to be replaced every 5 years to reduce the risk of hose failures and water damage.
• Consider recycling options for your appliance packaging material.

START-UP SEQUENCE

• Any time the washer is being started or restarts after the washer lid has been opened and closed, the washer will turn on the cold water valve for two short periods followed by a 10 second pause before continuing. If the lid is opened during this period, the washer will pause. You will have to push the START button again to restart the cycle.

AUTOMATIC DRAIN SEQUENCE

• Machine will automatically drain any time the lid is left open for an extended duration. The app will notify the user of the time remaining to re-start the cycle before the session is canceled.

Getting started

WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION before operating this appliance.

Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.

ATTENTION – START HERE TO ACTIVATE THE WASHER:
www.geappliances.com/commerciallaundry Access the above website and select “create your account”.

IMPORTANT:
You must access the above website and follow its instructions to initially set up your account and equipment. Without doing so, you will not be able to run paid cycles or collect payments.

Step 1

Step 5

• Press START.
  NOTE: Pressing start locks your selections, processes payment, and begins the cycle.

• A Washing
  This commercial washer uses an app based payment system. Using your smartphone, scan the QR code on the control panel to download the app and see a quick tutorial on the operation of the washer, or go to GEAppliances.com/commerciallaundry to learn more.

• B Temperature
  Select the desired wash temperature for your load. NOTE: All rinses are cold.
  QR code is a registered trademark of DENSO WAVE INCORPORATED.

• C Wash Cycles-Cycle Selector Knob
  The wash cycle controls the type of washing process. The cycle selector knob can be turned in either direction. Turning the knob after starting a cycle will NOT stop the washer or change the cycle/option to a new selection. Pressing START locks the cycle selection, processes payment, and begins the cycle. The chart below will help you match the items to be washed with the best wash cycle settings. For optimal performance, select the cycle that most closely matches the items being washed.

  • Selections and options shown in bold are the recommended settings for that cycle.
  • Some cycles and options may not be available on some models.

WARNING
Failure to closely follow these instructions may result in an abnormal vibrating and out-of-balance condition that could result in physical injury, property damage, and/or appliance damage.

For Waterproof, Water-Resistant, or Bulky Items:

• Only use the Bulky Items (or Delicates) cycle. NOTE: Some models only have a Delicates cycle.
• Using other cycles can cause excessive vibration and may result in injury or damage to the washer, walls, or floor.
• Do not mix waterproof and non-waterproof items.
• Read the Owner’s Manual for wash cycle details.

D Start/Pause
Loosely load items in the washer basket. Overloading may negatively impact wash performance. Add detergent and if desired fabric softener to the dispenser. Press START to begin the cycle. NOTE: When the lid is closed, it will lock only during the load-sensing portion of the cycle and during spin portions of the cycle. It will unlock after load sensing and spin. Pressing PAUSE will unlock the lid (if locked at that time), pause the cycle and the PAUSE indicator light will blink. To continue the cycle, press STARTagain.

NOTE:
The machine will cancel/end the session and drain when water is present and the lid is left open for an extended duration, or if the unit is left in a paused state for an extended duration with the lid closed. If the lid is opened or the unit is paused, the app will notify the user of the time limits to restart the machine within the same session, and will also notify the user if their session has timed out. If the session times out, scan the QR code to begin a new session, select the cycle, and press START.

Automatic Load Sensing
This determines the correct agitate profile, agitate duration and amount of water suited to the size and type of load placed in the washer. The washer will not start the wash cycle or fill with water if the lid is open. When the lid is closed the machine is able to begin filling with water in order to sense the load size.

NOTE:
Automatic Load Sensing initiates a spin at the beginning of the cycle and will take as much as 3 minutes to complete (significantly shorter for smaller loads); this is normal operation.

NOTE:
This is a high-efficiency washing machine. This system requires less water while providing effective cleaning action. You may notice that the water level is lower than on your previous washer. This is normal.

E Cycle Status Lights
Shows whether the washer is in the Fill, Soak, Wash, Rinse or Spin portion of the cycle.

If an out-of-balance condition is detected by the washer, the Spin light will blink during the remaining portion of the cycle and will stay illuminated for a short time after cycle completion. When this occurs, the washer is taking action to correct the out-of-balance condition and complete the cycle normally. In some cases, the washer may not be able to balance the load and spin up to full speed. In this circumstance, the app will notify the user that they must return to the machine and redistribute their laundry. If this is not completed within the time given, the session will cancel/time out and the user must scan the QR code and start the cycle again.

F Extra Rinse
Set this option to provide a deep rinse or when using fabric softener. This option may change other settings (e.g. Spin may go to a higher setting) to maximize performance.

Consumer Help Indicator

Your washer is equipped with Consumer Help Indicator (CHI). CHI is our way to communicate a simple remedy for some situations that you can perform without the need to call for service. The chart below describes the helpful lights you may notice flashing on the display.

Dispensers

Liquid Fabric Softener Dispenser

• 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 or raise the lid during the first spin. This will cause the dispenser to empty too soon.

To use, follow these steps:

1. Make sure dispenser is securely attached to agitator.

2. Use only liquid diluted fabric softener. Pour into dispenser, using amount recommended on package.
   Never pour fabric softener directly on clothes. It may stain them.

3. Add water to dispenser until it reaches the maximum fill line. Do not pour anything into the agitator if the agitator cap or dispenser is removed.

4. Select EXTRA RINSE option.

NOTE: Fabric softener may not dispense properly if the EXTRA RINSE option is not selected.

Liquid Bleach
Liquid chlorine bleach should be added through the bleach dispenser in the front left corner. Follow bleach manufacturer’s recommendations for the correct amount of liquid chlorine bleach based on load size, taking care to not apply or spill it directly on clothing.

NOTE: Do not use liquid chlorine bleach and laundry pretreatments such as an Oxi product in the same wash load.

Pretreatment
Place laundry pretreatments, such as an Oxi product, directly in the bottom of the wash basket before loading clothes.

NOTE: Do not use liquid chlorine bleach and laundry pretreatments such as an Oxi product in the same wash load.

Loading

Always follow the fabric manufacturer’s care label when laundering.

Proper Use of Detergent

• Using too little or too much detergent is a common cause of laundry problems.

• Use less detergent if you have soft water, a smaller load or a lightly soiled load.

• For spots, apply pre-treatment to items as recommended on the product label.

• The application should be made in the basket to prevent overspray which may cause the coloring on the lid or graphics to fade.

• Place detergent packets in the bottom of the wash basket before adding clothes.

• GE Appliances recommends the use of High-Efficiency laundry packs such as Tide PODS™. HE detergents
  are formulated to work with low-water wash and rinse systems. HE detergents reduce the oversudsing problems commonly associated with regular detergents.

• When using high-efficiency or concentrated detergents, consult the product label to determine the amount required for optimum performance. The excessive detergent will negatively impact wash performance.

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). Wash lint producers such as cotton towels and socks separate from lint collectors including synthetic garments and dress pants.

WARNING- Fire Hazard

• DO NOT wash fabrics soiled with flammable liquids or cleaning solvents.
• No washer can completely remove oil.
• DO NOT dry anything that has been soaked in or spotted with any type of oil.
• DO NOT reach into the washer until all moving parts have stopped.
• Doing so can result in death, explosion, fire or amputation.

Loading the Washer
Load dry items loosely in the washer basket. For best results, load items evenly and loosely around the outside of the basket, filling in towards the center on larger loads. To add items after washer has started, press START/PAUSE if the lid is locked; wait until the Lid Locked indicator on the display is no longer illuminated before attempting to open the lid. Lift the lid and submerge additional items around the outside of the basket. Close the lid and press START to resume. Adjust load size selection and/or use EXTRA RINSE option if necessary.

• Do not put lawn or sofa cushions into the washer as they are too big to move. Remove outer covers and ONLY wash them.

Care and cleaning

WARNING – Electrical Shock Hazard
Certain internal parts are intentionally not grounded and may present a risk of electric shock only during servicing. Service personnel – DO NOT contact the following parts while the appliance is energized: Drive Motor, Lid Lock, Water Valves, Drain Pump and Recirculation Pump.

Exterior of the Washer
Immediately wipe off any spills with a damp cloth.

Interior of the Washer
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.)

Cleaning the Fabric Softener Dispenser (on some models)

1. Remove the dispenser from the top of the agitator.
2. Separate the dispenser cup from the cover by grasping the top and pushing down on the inside of the cup with your fingers. The Dispenser cup will pop free from the cover.
3. To clean the dispenser, soak both the dispenser cup and the dispenser cover in the following solution:
   • 1 US gallon (3.8 liters) of warm water
   • 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy-duty liquid detergent
   • 1 cup (240 ml) bleach
4. If necessary, loosen the buildup with a clean, soft cloth after soaking. Do not use a stiff brush; you may roughen the surface of the dispenser.
5. Rinse and reassemble the dispenser. Place the dispenser back on the agitator.

Water Supply Hoses
Periodically inspect all water inlet hoses for water leaks, wear, cuts, corrosion, and bulges. Replace all hoses immediately if any sign of these failures appear. All hoses should be replaced every 5 years of use to reduce risk of hose failures and possible water damage. When replacing hoses, refer to the Installation Instructions for proper installation. DO NOT overtighten or cross thread fittings. DO NOT allow the hose to rub against sharp objects, become kinked, or become overstretched. Always ensure hose rubber gaskets are installed and free from leaks when pressurized.

Moving and Storage
