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. For waterproof, water-resistant and bulky items, only use the Bulky (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.
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.

SAFETY INFORMATION

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE 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. Properly ground washer to conform with all governing codes and ordinances. Follow details in the Installation
Instructions. Ensure washer is properly leveled and washer legs are adjusted such that unit is stable. Optional drain hose extension recommended for discharging heights from 60″ – 96″. 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 or drain pump 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.
Machine will automatically drain after dispensing water in Water Station mode after the cycle knob has been turned to another cycle.

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.

Getting started

C Display and Status Lights Display: The display shows the approximate time remaining until the end of the cycle. NOTE: The cycle time is affected by how long it takes the washer to fill. This depends on the water pressure in your home. The size of the load being washed also significantly impacts cycle time, with larger loads taking longer.

In addition, this display will, “scroll” the washer status:

· bALAnCINg · dELAY · End

Start of rebalancing cycle to redistribute clothes. Stops after rebalancing is complete. When Delay Wash is initiated. Replaced with estimated time when cycle starts. End of current cycle.

Cycle status lights: Shows whether the washer is in the Pre-wash, Delay, Fill, Soak, Wash, Rinse or Spin portion of the cycle. NOTE: Cycle status lights vary by model.
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 normal at the end of the cycle, redistribute the load evenly in the wash basket and run a Drain & Spin cycle.

Feature status lights indicate (see sections F and G for more details): Pause – Will display when washer is paused between cycles. Controls – The washer is locked – will blink once if you press any button or turn the cycle knob. Lid Lock – The lid is locked. See the Control Lock description.

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 messages you may notice scrolling on your display when you return to start another load. These messages will provide simple remedies you can quickly perform.

Spin light blinking

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 normal at the end of the cycle, redistribute the load evenly in the wash basket and run a Drain & Spin cycle.

“H2O SUPPLY” (Water not entering washer)

Check your house water supply. Did you forget to turn on one or both supply valves after installation or coming back from vacation? As soon as the message starts to scroll, the washer will initiate a 4 minute lockout period. The washer controls won’t respond/change during this time. After the 4 minutes, you can begin your cycle again. If you try to bypass the lock-out period by unplugging the washer, the 4 minute timer will start over again.

“CAnCELEd”

“CAnCELEd” may scroll on the display if the machine was paused for longer than 24 hours or if the machine has stopped itself before the cycle completed due to certain errors. As soon as the message starts to scroll, the washer will initiate a 4 minute lock-out period. The washer controls won’t respond/change during this time. After the 4 minute period, you can begin your cycle again. If you try to bypass the lock-out period by unplugging the washer, the 4 minute timer will start over again. If the problem persists, call GE Appliances at 800. GE.CARES (800.432.2737) for service.

“Lid”

“Lid” will be shown on display if 3 cycles have been started without opening the lid. The washer will not start another cycle until the lid is opened. Try opening, then closing the lid and starting a new cycle. If the problem persists, call GE Appliances at 800.GE.CARES (800.432.2737) for service.

F Stain Removal Guide (on some models) The Stain Removal Guide feature allows you to indicate what stains are on the garments in your load. An initial water fill is performed at a temperature tailored to the stain type selected and to an amount which enables a concentrated cleaning step. A stain scrubbing period, followed by a soak, is conducted to effectively treat the stain. Then additional water is added to the selected temperature and the wash phase is conducted for the cycle selected.
This feature can be applied to most wash cycles as described in the cycle guide.
To use Stain Removal Guide: 1. Select the desired wash cycle. 2. Press the Stain Removal Guide button.
Continue to press to select Tomato stain, Wine stain, Blood stain, Grass stain or Dirt stain. The indicator light will show the selected stain. To select a different stain, press the Stain Removal Guide button until desired stain to be removed is lit. To turn off Stain Removal Guide, press until no indicator lights are illuminated. NOTE: The Soil and Temperature levels will be changed to match the recommended default setting for each stain type. Turning off Stain Removal Guide will return the settings to default.

Adding Detergent to SmartDispenserTM (GTW840 and GTW845 models only)

This machine is equipped with a bulk detergent reservoir that can hold approximately 75 ounces of liquid detergent for your convenience. This is enough detergent for about 50 average laundry loads, depending on what dispense amount is selected.

NOTE: If it is desired to change detergent type in the detergent tank, it is not required to flush the smart dispense system. The new detergent type can be added to a partiallyfilled tank, however it will not be immediately dispensed until the original detergent is completely dispensed from the system.
NOTE: In the event that excessive chlorine bleach is accidentally spilled or otherwise gets into the detergent tank, please follow the Detergent Tank Clean-Out instructions in the Care and Cleaning section in order to minimize the possibility for clothing damage. If only a few drops of bleach are spilled into the detergent tank, there is no need to flush the tank.

When the Tank Low or Tank Empty LED is illuminated, more detergent should be added to the reservoir to ensure detergent will be available for the next cycle.
The filling port of the detergent reservoir is located on the front left of the washing machine. To fill the reservoir with liquid detergent, first open the tank lid by rotating the small lid clockwise. Then pour LIQUID detergent into the opening until the level reaches the MAX indicator located inside the filling port, also indicated with the horizontal line next to the MAX lettering. Filling to this MAX level will provide detergent for about 50 average laundry loads.

LOADING

Loading

Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care label when laundering.
Automatic Load Sensing
This determines the appropriate 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; 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 for a high efficiency washer.

Pretreatment
Place laundry pretreatments, such as an Oxi product, directly on top of the load of clothes. NOTE: Do not use liquid chlorine bleach and laundry pretreatments such as an Oxi product in the same wash load.

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 detergent packets in the Laundry Pack Dispenser (on some models) or the bottom of the wash basket before adding clothes.

GE Appliances recommends the use of High Efficiency detergents such as Tide PODSTM and liquid detergents 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.

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 Lock 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 Deep Fill option if necessary. NOTE: Some cycles use a two stage wash fill. The first stage will have a lower water level than the second stage; this is normal operation.

Do not place large items such as

Dans certaines conditions, de l’hydrogène peut se former dans un circuit d’eau chaude qui n’a pas été utilisé pendant deux semaines ou plus. L’HYDROGÈNE EST UN GAZ EXPLOSIF. Si le circuit d’eau chaude n’a pas été utilisé pendant une telle période, ouvrez tous les robinets d’eau chaude et laissez l’eau couler pendant plusieurs minutes avant d’utiliser votre laveuse. Ainsi, l’hydrogène accumulé sera évacué du système. Ce gaz étant inflammable, NE fumez PAS et n’utilisez pas de flamme nue pendant cette opération.
NE laissez PAS les enfants jouer sur ou à l’intérieur de cet appareil. La présence d’enfants près de cet appareil lorsqu’il est en marche doit faire l’objet d’une étroite supervision. Avant de mettre la laveuse au rebut ou hors service, retirez la porte ou le couvercle. Le non-respect de ces instructions peut entraîner le décès ou des blessures.
NE mettez PAS la main dans l’appareil lorsque le tambour ou l’agitateur est en mouvement pour éviter d’être happé accidentellement.
Pour les articles imperméables, résistants à l’eau ou volumineux, utilisez seulement le cycle Bulky (articles volumineux) (ou Delicates [tissus délicats]). N’utilisez PAS d’autres cycles pour ces articles. L’utilisation d’autres cycles peut causer des vibrations excessives et occasionner des blessures ou des dommages à la laveuse, aux murs ou au plancher. Ne mélangez PAS des articles imperméables avec des articles qui ne le sont pas.

INFORMATION DE SÉCURITÉ

CONSIGNES DE SÉCURITÉ IMPORTANTES
LIRE TOUTES LES CONSIGNES AVANT D’UTILISER L’APPAREIL

INSTALLATION APPROPRIÉE
Cette laveuse doit être installée conformément aux instructions d’installation avant d’être utilisée. Assurez-vous que le boyau d’eau chaude est raccordé au robinet « H » et que le boyau d’eau froide est
raccordé au robinet « C ». Installez ou entreposez l’appareil à un endroit où il ne sera exposé ni à des températures en dessous du point de
congélation ni aux intempéries; l’appareil pourrait subir des dommages permanents et la garantie serait annulée. Mettez la laveuse à la terre conformément aux codes et règlements en vigueur. Suivez les instructions
détaillées de la section « Instructions d’installation ». Assurez-vous que la laveuse est mise de niveau correctement et que ses pieds sont réglés de façon à
stabiliser l’appareil. Une rallonge de tuyau d’évacuation optionnelle est recommandée pour les hauteurs d’évacuation allant de 60
à 96 po (152,4 à 243,8 cm). GE Appliances recommande fortement d’utiliser les pièces spécifiées du fabricant. Une liste de boyaux
manufacturés disponibles pour l’achat est indiquée. Ces boyaux ont été fabriqués et testés afin de répondre aux spécifications de GE Appliances. GE Appliances recommande fortement d’utiliser de nouveaux boyaux d’alimentation en eau. Les boyaux se dégradent avec le temps et doivent être remplacés tous les cinq ans afin de réduire le risque de bris de boyau et de dégâts d’eau. Considérez les options de recyclage des matériaux d’emballage de votre électroménager.

SÉQUENCE DE DÉMARRAGE
À chaque démarrage ou redémarrage suite à l’ouverture ou la fermeture du couvercle, la laveuse ouvre le robinet d’eau froide ou pompe de vidange durant deux courtes périodes suivies d’une pause de 10 secondes avant de poursuivre. Si le couvercle est ouvert pendant cette période, la laveuse effectuera une pause. Il vous faudra rappuyer sur le bouton Start (départ) pour redémarrer le programme.

SÉQUENCE DE VIDANGE AUTOMATIQUE
L’appareil se vidangera automatiquement à chaque fois que le couvercle est laissé ouvert pour plus de 15 minutes et que de l’eau est présente.
L’appareil se vidangera automatiquement s’il est laissé en état de pause avec couvercle fermé pour plus de 24 heures et que de l’eau est présente.
L’appareil se vidangera automatiquement après la distribution d’eau en mode Water Station (eau stationnaire) une fois le bouton de sélection tourné à un autre cycle.

LORSQUE L’APPAREIL N’EST PAS UTILISÉ
Fermez les robinets d’eau pour réduire les fuites en cas de tuyau cassé. Vérifiez l’état des tuyaux de remplissage. GE Appliances recommande de les remplacer tous les 5 ans.

UTILISATION DE LA LAVEUSE

Comment démarrer

C Voyants d’affichage et de progression Affichage : La durée restante estimée avant la fin du programme s’affiche. REMARQUE : La durée du programme est affectée par la durée de remplissage de la laveuse. Cela dépend de la pression de l’alimentation en eau de votre domicile. La taille de la brassée influe aussi d’une manière significative sur la durée du cycle, les plus volumineuses prenant davantage de temps.
De plus, l’état de progression de la laveuse défile à l’écran :
· bALAnCINg (rééquilibrage) : Au début du programme de rééquilibrage visant à mieux répartir la charge. S’arrête une fois le rééquilibrage effectué. · dELAY (différé) : Quand la fonction Delay Wash (lavage différé) est sélectionnée. Remplacé par la durée estimée lorsque le programme débute. · End (fin) : Fin du programme actuel. · FILL (remplissage) : « FILL » (remplissage) défilera sur l’affichage pendant le remplissage. Après quoi s’affiche une estimation de la durée
du cycle. · H2O SUPPLY (alimentation en eau) : Il n’est pas possible de détecter le niveau d’eau (alimentation en eau est potentiellement fermés). · LId (couvercle) : Arrêt du programme en raison de l’ouverture du couvercle. Fermez celui-ci et appuyez sur le bouton Start si nécessaire. · SEnSIng (détection de la charge) : Détection d’une condition de déséquilibre, d’articles imperméables, ou de la taille et du type de brassée

Start/Pause. Appuyez de nouveau sur le bouton Start (départ) pour relancer le programme.
Voyants de progression du programme : Il indique si la laveuse est en mode Pre-wash (Prélavage), Delay (différé), Fill (remplissage) , Soak (trempage), Wash (lavage), Rinse (rinçage) ou Spin (essorage). REMARQUE : Les voyants d’état du cycle varient selon le modèle. Si une condition de déséquilibre est détectée par la laveuse, le voyant d’essorage (Spin) clignotera pendant le restant du cycle et restera allumé pendant une courte période de temps après que le cycle soit terminé. Lorsque cela se produit, la laveuse prend des mesures pour corriger la condition de déséquilibre et de terminer le cycle normalement. Dans certains cas, il est possible que la laveuse ne puisse pas être en mesure d’équilibrer la charge et essorer à plein vitesse. Si vous remarquez que la charge est plus humide que normalement à la fin du cycle, répartissez la charge uniformément dans le panier de lavage et commencez un cycle de Drain & Spin (drainer et essorer).
Les voyants de progression des fonctions indiquent ce qui suit (consultez les sections F et G pour plus de détails) :
Pause – S’affiche lorsque la laveuse se met en pause entre les cycles.
Controls (Les contrôles) – La laveuse est verrouillée – le voyant clignotera une fois si vous appuyez sur un bouton ou si vous tournez le bouton de sélection de programme.
Lid Lock (Le couvercle est verrouillé) – Consultez la section Control Lock (verrouillage des commandes).
WiFi (certains modèles) – S’affichera lorsque la laveuse est connectée au réseau WiFi. Clignotera lorsque vous tentez de connecter l’appareil au réseau WiFi de votre domicile.
Spin Stop (Arrêt de l’essorage) Signale que le tambour est sur le point de s’immobiliser suite à un essorage. Le couvercle ne se déverrouillera que si le tambour s’est totalement immobilisé.

Indicateur d’aide au consommateur

Votre laveuse est équipée d’un Indicateur d’aide au consommateur (IAC). L’IAC est notre façon de communiquer une solution simple dans

certaines situations où un appel de service n’est pas nécessaire. Le tableau ci-dessous décrit les messages utiles qui peuvent défiler sur votre

affichage lorsque vous retournez pour laver une autre charge. Ces messages présentent des solutions simples que vous pouvez exécuter

rapidement.

Spin (Une lumière clignotante de spin)

Si une condition de déséquilibre est détectée par la laveuse, le voyant d’essorage (Spin) clignotera pendant le restant du cycle et restera allumé pendant une courte période de temps après que le cycle soit terminé. Lorsque cela se produit, la laveuse prend des mesures pour corriger la condition de déséquilibre et de terminer le cycle normalement. Dans certains

cas, il est possible que la laveuse ne puisse pas être en mesure d’équilibrer la charge et essorer à plein vitesse. Si vous

remarquez que la charge est plus humide que normalement à la fin du cycle, répartissez la charge uniformément dans

le panier de lavage et commencez un cycle de Drain & Spin (drainer et essorer).

débranchant la laveuse, la minuterie de 4 minutes se mettra en marche de nouveau.

“CAnCELEd” (Annulé)

“CAnCELED” (Annulé ) peut défiler sur l’affichage si la machine a été mise en pause pendant plus de 24 heures ou si la machine s’est arrêtée par elle-même en raison de certaines erreurs avant que le cycle soit fini. Dès que le message commence à défiler, la laveuse va initier une période de verrouillage « lock-out » pour une durée de 4 minutes. Les

commandes de la laveuse ne répondront pas (ni ne pourront être changées) durant cette période. Après les 4 minutes,

vous pouvez redémarrer votre cycle . Si vous tentez d’outrepasser la période de verrouillage en débranchant la laveuse, la

minuterie de 4 minutes se mettra de nouveau en marche. Si le problème persiste appelez 800.561.3344 pour le service.
