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:

• 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.
• 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 unlessspecifically recommended in the user maintenance instructions or in published user repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.
• DO NOT climb or stand on this unit.
• 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.

USING THE WASHER

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.

Step 1: (Appearance will vary)

• Add fabric softener to the fabric softener dispenser.
• Add the manufacturer’s recommended amount of detergent. GE Appliances recommends the use of High Efficiency detergents such as in your energy efficient washer. Place detergent pods in the bottom of the wash basket before adding clothes.

Step 2

• Loosely add items. Overloading may negatively impact wash performance. See page 11 for suggested loading examples.
• Close door.

NOTE: Washer will not start with door open.

Step 3

• If the screen is dark, press the Power button to “wake up” the display.
• Select a wash cycle. (Defaults are set for each wash cycle. These default settings can be changed. See Control settings for more information.)

Step 4

• Press the Start/Pause button.

Display and Status Lights

The display shows cycle status (FILL WASH RINSE SPIN), the Estimated Time Remaining until the end of the cycle and the options selected. In addition, the display will show:

NOTE: 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 actions 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. If you notice the load is more wet than usual at the end of the cycle, redistribute the load evenly in the wash tub and run a drain and spin cycle. Select Rinse+Spin cycle and select no rinse by pressing Rinse until both Extra and Normal lights turn off.

NOTE: The Sanitize cycle water temperatures CANNOT be changed. The Sanitize cycle is certified by NSF International, an independent third party testing and certification organization.

The Sanitize certification verifies that the cycle reduced 99.9% of bacteria typically found in residential laundry and that no significant contamination is transferred to subsequent washer loads. Only the Sanitize cycle has been designed to meet the requirements of NSF Protocol P172 for sanitizing effectiveness.

NSF Protocol P172

• Sanitization Performance of Residential and Commercial, Family-Sized Clothes Washers.

C. Soil

• You may see water in the fabric softener compartment 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.

Detergent Compartment

• Only use high-efficiency detergent in this washer. Use the detergent manufacturer’s recommended amount. DO NOT fill above the MAX line.
• Detergent is flushed from the dispenser at the beginning of the wash cycle. Either powdered or liquid high-efficiency 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 since it can lead to oversudsing and detergent residue being left on the clothes.

Cup and Cavity Drawer System (on some models)

The detergent compartment is in the left side of the dispenser drawer. The detergent cavity (cup removed) is used for powder detergent, and the detergent cup is used for liquid detergent.

• Powder Detergent – Remove the detergent cup and pour the suggested amount of powder detergent into the detergent cavity.
• Liquid Detergent – Leave the detergent cup in the drawer and pour liquid detergent into the cup. Do not fill above the MAX line.

Divider Drawer System (on some models)

The detergent compartment is in the front left of the dispenser drawer.

• Powder Detergent – Lock the detergent card flat into its top position in the compartment. Make sure the card is locked, then pour the suggested amount of powder detergent into the detergent dispenser.
• Liquid Detergent – Lock the detergent card vertically into its center position in the compartment. Make sure the card is locked, then pour the suggested amount of liquid detergent into the detergent dispenser.

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

• 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.

CARE AND CLEANING

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 over stretched. Always ensure hose rubber gaskets are installed and free from leaks when pressurized.

Exterior

Immediately wipe off any spills. Wipe with damp cloth. Wipe or dust spills or washing compounds with a damp cloth. Washer control panel and finishes may be damaged by some laundry pretreatment and stain remover products. Apply these products away from the washer. The fabric may then be washed and dried normally. Damage to your washer caused by these products is not covered by your warranty. 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 watertight 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, such as Tide® Washing Machine Cleaner) poured directly into the basket without clothes and using the Tub Clean Cycle.

Pump Filter

Clean EVERY MONTH to remove any items that may have been caught in the filter or housing. 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. Open the door on the bottom right of the front of the unit.
2. Twist the small white cap counterclockwise a quarter turn and unhook the small rubber hose. Pull the hose out of the hole and remove the white drain hose plug above a small pan to capture any water that may drain. Drain the excess water. Replace.
3. Unscrew the pump filter. Rinse off any debris. Replace.
4. Close the access door.

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 of the 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.

Dispenser Drawer 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 rear center of the drawer cavity and press down firmly on the lock tab, pulling out the drawer.
• Remove all cups and inserts from the dispenser drawer. Rinse the inserts, cups and 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.

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.

The hot water temperature should be set to deliver water at 120° to 140°F (48°–60°C) to provide proper Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) performance.

DRAIN REQUIREMENTS

1. Drain capable of eliminating 9.5 gals (36 L) per minute.
2. A standpipe diameter of 1-1/4” (3.18 cm) minimum.
3. The standpipe height above the floor should be:
   • Minimum height: 36” (91.4 cm)
   • Maximum height: 58” (147 cm)

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. Remove black rubber washers from bag and insert into hose fitting before connecting to unit.
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 pliers. Do not crossthread or overtighten these connections.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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 locknuts 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.
7. 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.
   • NOTE: Do not place drain hose deeper than 7” into the drain. 4” – 7” is suggested. Deeper than 7” can cause a siphoning action.
8. 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.
9. Turn on the power at the circuit breaker/fuse box.
10. Read the rest of this Owner’s Manual. It contains valuable and helpful information that will save you time and money.
11. 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.
12. Run the washer through a complete cycle. Check for water leaks and proper operation.
13. If your washer does not operate, please review the Troubleshooting Tips section before calling for service.
14. Place these instructions in a location near the washer for future reference.
