IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

SAFETY INFORMATION

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of death, fire, explosion, electric shock, or injury to persons when using

your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

Ŷ

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.

Ŷ

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.

Ŷ

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.

Ŷ

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.

Ŷ

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.

Ŷ

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

Ŷ

DO NOT dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.

Ŷ

Clean lint screen before or after each load.

Ŷ

DO NOT operate the dryer without the lint filter in place.

Ŷ

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

Ŷ

DO NOT use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the

fabric softener or product.

Ŷ

D O N O T 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.

Ŷ

The interior of the appliance and exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.

Ŷ

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

Ŷ

DO NOT tamper with controls.

Ŷ

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.

Ŷ

DO NOT operate this appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled, or has missing or

broken parts including a damaged cord or plug.

Ŷ

Unplug the appliance or turn off the circuit breaker before servicing. Pressing the Power or Start/Pause

button DOES NOT disconnect power.

Ŷ

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.

Ŷ

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.

Ŷ

DO NOT climb on or stand on this unit.

Ŷ

Select the water temperature for the washer cycle (all rinses use cold water). Always follow fabric manufacturer’s

care label or instructions when laundering.

Tap Cold* uses incoming tap water, which can provide energy savings. For all other 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.

Load Size

(on some models)

Loosely load clothes no higher than the top row of holes in the washer basket.

Precise Fill - This selection automatically provides the correct amount of water suited to the

size and type of load placed in the unit.

If you prefer to manually select the water level, select Small through Super. While Precise

Fill is best for most loads and general washing, you may want to manually select the load size for specialty items

such as bulky, lightweight comforters or pillows, where you want to ensure a larger water level is applied. Manual

load size selections should be made for wet items placed in the washer, such as soaked towels or garments.

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.

Spin and Rinse

lights blinking

If an out-of-balance condition is detected by the washer, the Spin and Rinse lights 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.

Wash and Rinse

lights blinking

(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 lights start to flash, the washer will initiate a 4 minute lock-

out 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.

Lid Locked light Lid Locked light will flash 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.

Getting started - Washer

USING THE WASHER

Fabric Softener Dispenser (on models with an agitator)

The fabric softener dispenser automatically releases

liquid fabric softener at the proper time during the cycle.

Do not stop the washer 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 diluted liquid fabric softener. Pour into

dispenser, using amount recommended on package.

Never pour fabric softener directly on clothes. It may

stain them.

NOTE: Do not pour bleach into FABRIC SOFTENER

dispenser.

3

Add water to dispenser until it reaches the maximum

fill line.

4

Select Deep Rinse button on control panel for proper

dispersion of the fabric softener.

Do not pour anything into the agitator

if the dispenser is removed.

Liquid Bleach Funnel

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.

Ŷ

Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly

onto clothes or into the wash basket.

Ŷ

Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach funnel.

3

Before starting the washer, pour measured amount of

bleach directly into bleach funnel. Avoid splashing or

over-filling dispenser. If you prefer to use powdered

bleach, add it into the wash basket with your detergent.

Ŷ

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.

NOTE: Do not pour bleach into FABRIC SOFTENER

dispenser.

Fabric Softener (on models with an infusor)

1

Select Deep Rinse button on control panel.

2

Add diluted liquid fabric softener during the rinse

cycle or use a fabric softener ball.

Deep Rinse

Select when using Fabric Softener

49-90582-4 11

Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care label when laundering.

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.

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 (on models with an agitator)

Load dry items loosely, no higher than the top row of holes in the washer basket. When loading wet items, make

sure you set the load/water level high enough to allow the items to move freely. To add items after washer has

started, press Start/Pause. Lift the lid and submerge additional items next to the agitator. Close the lid and press

Start to resume.

WARNING

- Fire Hazard

USING THE WASHER

Getting started - Washer

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.

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.

Loading the Washer (on models with an infusor)

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.

Ŷ

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 wash fabrics containing

flammable materials (waxes,

cleaning fluids, etc.).

Ŷ

Wash action will not start with the

lid up.

Ŷ

Do not wrap long items like sheets

or pants around the agitator.

Ŷ

Do not wash fabrics containing

flammable materials (waxes,

cleaning fluids, etc.).

USING THE 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.

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.

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 pretreatment

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.

direction

This sound is the motor rotating back and forth to agitate your

laundry.

Quick short agitation

sounds

Clothing redistribution At different periods of the agitation phase, the motor makes

short agitation strokes to redistribute the load.

“Click” when water

stops filling

Relay switch The relay makes a click sound when activated. The water level

activates the relay and stops filling.

“Clicking” behind

control panel during fill

Automatic Temperature

Control Valve

This valve mixes in cold and hot water. The “clicking” is the
