About the control panel. Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 • Add fabric softener (on models with a fabric softener dispenser); see page 6 for details • Add detergent. GE recommends the use of High Efficiency detergents in all Energy Star-rated washers • Add clothes • Close lid NOTE: Washer will not start to fill with lid open on Auto Load sensing settings (on some models) • Select load size and other wash options, including Fabric Softener option • Select wash cycle Quick Start Guide D • Push START A B C Controls E F A Load Size ■ Add detergent to the bottom of the basket and fabric softener to the dispenser prior to loading clothes. ■ Loosely load clothes no higher than the top row of holes in the basket. For optimal performance, load items around the outside of the basket. ■ Make the load selection from SMALL, MEDIUM, LARGE, EXTRA LARGE, SUPER and AUTOMATIC LOAD SENSING: - For convenience, best performance and optimal efficiency, select AUTOMATIC LOAD SENSING. 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 AUTOMATIC LOAD SENSING 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. - The washer will not fill with water when automatic load sensing is selected if the lid is opened. When the lid is closed the machine is able to begin filling with water in order to sense the load size. NOTE: This is a high-efficiency washing machine with Infusor™ wash action. 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 an Infusor™-equipped washer. The water level will be just above the top of the Infusor™ when the SUPER WASH size is selected. B Temperature Select the water temperature for the wash and rinse cycles. Always follow fabric manufacturer's care label or instructions when laundering. PerfecTemp senses the incoming water temperature and adjusts the fill water to obtain a more precise temperature range for all wash temperatures. For example, in a COLD wash selection, some warm water may be added to reach a temperature needed to better dissolve detergents. Often, detergents are not completely dissolved in very cold water, especially in cooler climates. 4
