GEAppliances.com Wash Cycle Selector A The wash cycle controls the length and intensity of the washing process. The knob can be turned in either direction. Turning the Cycle Selector knob after starting a cycle will stop the washer and reset the cycle to the new selection. Press Start to begin the new cycle selection. The chart below will help you match the wash cycle setting with your clothing. The chart is ranked from longest to shortest cycle time and wash intensity. (Cycles vary by model.) Power Clean - Uses more water than standard wash cycles. It is recommended for extra-large loads and heavily soiled clothes. Cottons - For heavy to lightly soiled cottons, household linens, work and play clothes. Permanent Press - For wrinkle-free and permanent press items, and knits. Delicates - For lingerie and special-care fabrics with light to normal soil. Quick Rinse - Rinses and spins non-soiled items where a rinse only is desired. Spin Only - For draining the tub and spinning water out of clothes. Off - Washer is turned off and the Start button does not function. NOTE: When the control is turned to OFF, the Status lights are off. NOTE: The cycle selector does not rotate during the operation of the washer. B Deep Rinse Set this option when adding fabric softener to the washer. Status lights C The Status lights show the stage the washer is in. When the selector knob is set to a new cycle, the Status lights will flash momentarily, showing the stages the cycle will go through. Status light On Wash Rinse Spin Lid Locked Illuminates When the fabric softener option has been selected. When the washer is in the wash portion of the cycle. When the washer is in the rinse portion of the cycle. When the washer draining and/or spinning. When the washer lid is locked.

To resume operation press the Start button (the lid must be closed). Temperature D Select the water temperature for the wash 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 E Loosely load clothes no higher than the top row of holes in the washer basket.

The water fill will continue with the lid opened, except when Auto Load Sensing is selected as the load size. (The lid must be closed to continue filling when Auto Load Sensing is selected.) If the lid is opened during the cycle, the cycle will pause and the Status lights will blink. To resume the cycle, close the lid and press Start. If the machine is paused for more than 24 hours, the cycle will be cancelled. To stop the cycle, turn the Cycle Selector to the Off position. 7
