SAFETY INFORMATION

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:
• 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 place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire. To reduce the risk of fire due to contaminated loads, the final part of the tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down period). Avoid stopping a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
• 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 appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door and lid to the drying and washing compartments. Failure to follow these instructions may result in death or injury to persons.
• DO NOT reach into the appliance if the drum, tub or agitator is moving to prevent accidental entanglement.
• DO NOT dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
• Clean lint screen before or after each load.
• DO NOT operate the dryer without the lint filter in place.
• Follow all fabric care instructions and warnings to prevent melting of garments or damage to the appliance.
• DO NOT use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
• DO NOT store combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable liquids near the dryer. Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust and dirt.
• The interior of the appliance and exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.
• DO NOT install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
• DO NOT tamper with controls.
• DO NOT 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 or Start/Pause button DOES NOT disconnect power.
• DO NOT spray any type of aerosol into, on or near appliance, at any time. DO NOT use any type of spray cleaner when cleaning dryer interior. Hazardous fumes or electrical shock could occur.
• DO NOT store items that may burn or melt (such as clothing, paper material, plastics or plastic containers, etc.) on top of the appliance nor hang them from the door.
• DO NOT climb on or stand on this unit.
• See “ELECTRICAL CONNECTION INFORMATION” located in the Installation Instructions for grounding instructions.

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

ADDITIONAL WASHER SAFETY
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 more than 15 minutes and water is present. Machine will automatically drain if left in a paused state with the lid closed for more than 24 hours and water is present.

WHEN NOT IN USE
Turn off water faucets to minimize leakage if a break or rupture should occur. Check the condition of the fill hoses; GE Appliances recommends changing the hoses every 5 years.

ADDITIONAL GAS DRYER WARNINGS
WARNING – Fire or Explosion Hazard
Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could result in serious injury, death, or property damage.
– DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
– WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
DO NOT try to light any appliance. DO NOT touch any electrical switch; DO NOT use any phone in your building. Clear the room, building, or area of any occupants. Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbour’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions. If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
– Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier.

Getting started – Washer

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

Your washer has a security system that prevents opening the lid during the spin cycle. The lid lock prevents anyone (especially children) from reaching into the washer while the basket is spinning. The lid lock will release within 5 seconds after the basket stops spinning.

Trying to open the lid while locked could result in injuries. If the lid does not unlock after spinning, please contact service.
NOTE: If there is a power outage the lid lock can take 3 minutes to release.

A Washer Cycles

The washer 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 stop the washer and change the cycle to the new selection. Press Start to begin the new cycle selection.
The chart below will help you match the items to be washed with the best washer cycle settings. For optimal performance, select the cycle that most closely matches the items being washed. Selections shown in bold are the recommended settings for that cycle.
Off – Washer is turned off and the Start button does not function.
NOTE: When the control is turned to Off, the Status lights are off.
NOTE: The cycle selector does not rotate during the operation of the washer.

B Start/Pause
Press Start to begin the cycle. With the lid closed pressing Start again will pause the cycle and Status lights will blink. To continue the cycle, close the lid and press Start again. The water fill will continue with the lid opened, except when Precise Fill (on some models) is selected as the load size. The lid must be closed to continue filling when Precise Fill (on some models) is selected. If the lid is opened during the cycle, the cycle will pause and the Status lights will blink. To resume the cycle, close the lid and press Start. If the machine is paused for more than 24 hours, the cycle will be cancelled. To stop the cycle, turn the Cycle Selector to the Off position. NOTE: Machine will automatically cancel and drain when water is present and the lid is left open for 15 minutes or the unit is left in a paused state for 24 hours with the lid closed. Select cycle and press Start to begin new cycle.

C Display
Connected – it will be on once the washer is connected with your app. WiFi – It will be on once your washer is connected to WiFi. Remaining Time: Will display the time left for the washer to complete the current cycle. Lid Lock – It will be on while the lid is locked.

D Deep Fill
Select the Deep Fill feature for loads where extra water is needed. Press the Deep Fill button once before starting the cycle to add an incremental amount of water to the wash load. Holding the Deep Fill button for 3 seconds will provide the deepest fill level possible; this will increase cycle time due to the additional time it takes to fill the washer. To cancel the option if desired, press the Deep Fill button again.
NOTE: The Deep Fill button can also be pressed after the washer has completed filling and is in the wash phase if additional water is desired. To stop the extra fill, press the Deep Fill button again and the water will stop.

E Temperature
Select the water temperature for the washer cycle pressing the Temp button. Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care label or instructions when laundering.
Tap Cold uses incoming tap water, which can provide energy savings. For all others temperature selections, a mixture of hot and cold water is used to achieve the ideal temperature for each temperature setting.
Please note that some detergents do not fully dissolve in very cold water. If you experience this, it is recommended you choose a setting other than Tap Cold.
Wi-Fi Press the Temp button for 3 seconds to activate the Wi-Fi connection. If the washing machine is already connected (Wi-Fi light on) press 3 sec to disconnect the Wi-Fi connection (LED blinks while it is in the process of connection).

F Cycle Options
Auto Soak This option begins- with a brief agitation, soaks for a specified period, then moves through the rest of the cycle automatically. Repeated pressing of the Soak button will scroll through 15 min, 30 min, 60 min, 2 hours (2h) selections and then return to 0 soak minutes.
Deep Rinse Set this option to provide a deep rinse or when using fabric softener. It may change other settings (e.g., Spin may go to a higher setting) to maximize performance.

REMOTE ENABLE Hold both buttons for 3 seconds for start Remote Enable (LED Connected is on and AP appears blinking on the display). When press Start button AP stops flashing and stays on, then from the app the user can modify the scheduled time from 24 to 00 hours or start the washer cycle.
NOTE: This function is only for the washer cycles.

G Cycle Options
The Status lights show the stage the washer is in. When the selector knob is set to a new cycle, the Status lights will flash momentarily, showing the stages the cycle will go through.

For waterproof, water-resistant items only use the Delicates cycle. DO NOT use other cycles for these items, for example: ski clothing, diaper covers, bulky waterproof bed covers, umbrella covers, vehicle covers, sleeping bags, waterproof coats, etc).

⚠ WARNING
In other cycles different to the one recommended, when the basket turns, it is possible that water gets trapped in waterproof items and clothing, which can cause abnormal vibration and out-of-balance condition. Besides, the clothing moves upwards and may be expelled, this may result in injury or damage to the washer, walls, floor, or clothing.DO NOT mix waterproof and non-waterproof items.

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.

Fabric Softener

1. Select Deep Rinse button on control panel.
2. Add diluted liquid fabric softener during the rinse cycle or use a fabric softener ball.

Liquid Bleach Dispenser
The water fill dilutes liquid chlorine bleach as the washer fills for the washer cycle.

1. Check clothing care labels for special instructions.

2. Measure liquid bleach carefully, following instructions
   on the bottle. Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto clothes or into the wash basket. Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach funnel.

3. Before starting the washer, pour measured amount of bleach directly into “liquid bleach” funnel. Avoid splashing or over-filling dispenser. If you prefer to use powdered bleach, add it into the wash basket with your detergent.

Do not mix chlorine bleach with an oxi pre-treatment, ammonia or acids such as vinegar and/or rust remover. Mixing can produce a toxic gas which may cause death.

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. Application should be made in the basket to prevent overspray which may cause the coloring on the lid or graphics to fade.
Place liquid detergent into the dispenser. If you prefer powdered detergent, place it in the bottom of the washer before adding clothes.

We recommend the use of High Efficiency detergents such as in your energy efficient washer. 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 amount required for optimum performance. Excessive detergent will negatively impact wash performance.

Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care label when laundering.

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 wash or dry anything that has been soaked in or spotted with any type of oil (including cooking oils). 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. Lift the lid and submerge additional items around the outside of the basket. Close the lid and press Start to resume. Load clothes around outside

• Do not place large items such as sheets, blankets and towels across the Infusor. Load them around the outside of the basket.
• Do not wash fabrics containing flammable materials (waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.).
• Wash action will not start with the lid up.

Getting started – Dryer

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

WARNING – Fire Hazard

• Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from dryer.
• DO NOT dry anything that has ever had anything flammable on it (even after washing).
• No washer can completely remove oil.
• DO NOT dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on it (including cooking oils).

D Start – Close the dryer door. Press Start. Opening the door during operation will stop the dryer. To restart the
dryer, close the door and select Start to complete the cycle. A chime will sound at the end of the dry cycle.

Venting – Dryer

Venting the Dryer
For the best drying performance, the dryer needs to be properly vented. The dryer will use more energy and run longer if it is not vented to the specifications below. Carefully follow the details on Exhausting in the Installation Instructions.

WARNING – Fire Hazard
This dryer MUST be exhausted to the outdoors. Use only 4″ rigid metal ducting for the home exhaust duct. Use only 4″ rigid metal or UL-listed dryer transition duct to connect the dryer to the home exhaust. DO NOT use a plastic vent. DO NOT exhaust into a chimney, kitchen exhaust, gas vent, wall, ceiling, attic, crawl space, or concealed space of a building. DO NOT install a screen in or over the exhaust duct. DO NOT install a booster fan in the exhaust duct. DO NOT use duct longer than specified in the exhaust length table. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire.

Ductwork that runs through an unheated area or that is near air conditioning should be insulated to reduce condensation and lint build-up.

The Exterior: Wipe or dust any spills or washing
compounds with a damp cloth. Dryer control panel and finishes may be damaged by some laundry pre-treatment soil and stain remover products. Apply these products away from the dryer. The fabric may then be washed and dried normally. Damage to your dryer caused by these products is not covered by your warranty.
The Lint Filter: Clean the lint filter before each use.
Slide out the grid that covers the filter. Run your fingers across the filter. A waxy buildup may form on the lint filter from using dryer-added fabric softener sheets. To remove this buildup, wash the lint screen in warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly and replace. Do not operate the dryer without the lint filter and grid in place. Have a qualified technician vacuum the lint from the dryer once a year.

Dryer Interior and Duct: The interior of the
appliance and exhaust duct should be cleaned once a year by qualified service personnel.
The Exhaust Duct: Inspect and clean the exhaust
ducting at least once a year to prevent clogging. A partially clogged exhaust can lengthen the drying time.
Follow these steps:

1. Turn off electrical supply by disconnecting the plug from the wall socket.
2. Disconnect the duct from the dryer.
3. Vacuum the duct with the hose attachment and reconnect the duct.

The Exhaust Hood: Check with a mirror that the
inside flaps of the hood move freely when operating. Make sure that there is no wildlife (birds, insects, etc.) nesting inside the duct or hood.
