Loading and using the washer. 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. GE recommends the use of High Efficiency detergents in all Energy Star rated washers. 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). WARNING - Fire Hazard Never place items in the washer that are dampened with gasoline or other flammable liquids. No washer can completely remove oil. Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on it (including cooking oils). Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire. 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. To add items after washer has started, press Pause, lift the lid and submerge additional items around the outside of the basket. Close the lid and press Start to resume. „ Do not place large items such as sheets, blankets and towels across the infusor. Load them around the outside of the basket. „ Do not put lawn or sofa cushions into the washer as they are too big to move. Remove outer covers and ONLY wash them.
