Always follow 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. 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
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.
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.
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.
Ŷ
On Infusor models, do not place large items such as
sheets, blankets and towels across the Infusor. Load
them around the outside of the basket.
Ŷ
Do not put lawn or sofa cushions into the washer as they
are too big to move. Remove outer covers and ONLY
wash them.
