Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Installation Instructions ge.com 2 Wash Cycles The wash cycles are optimized for specific types of wash loads. The chart below will help you match the wash setting with the loads. The GentleClean™ lifters lightly tumble the clothes into the water and detergent solution to clean the load. WHITES/HEAVY DUTY For heavily to lightly soiled white cottons, household linens, work and play clothes. COLORS/NORMAL For heavily to lightly soiled colorfast cottons, household linens, work and play clothes. COMFORTER For comforters and bedspreads. COTTONS/TOWELS For cottons and towels. ACTIVE WEAR For active sports, exercise and some casual wear clothes. Fabrics include modern technology finishes and fibers such as spandex, stretch and micro-fibers. DELICATES For lingerie and special-care fabrics with light to normal soil. Provides gentle tumbling and soak during wash and rinse. HANDWASH For items labeled hand-washable with light soils. Provides gentle rocking to mimic the handwashing action. WASHABLE WOOL For the washing of machine washable wool products, provided that they are washed according to the instructions on the garment label. When selecting this cycle, you must use a detergent suitable for washing wool. MY CYCLE Press to use, create or modify custom wash cycles. SPEED WASH For lightly soiled items that are needed in a hurry. Cycle time is approximately 30 minutes, depending on selected options. RINSE & SPIN To quickly rinse out any items at any time. 3 Soil Level Changing the SOIL LEVEL increases or decreases the wash time to remove different amounts of soil. To change the SOIL LEVEL, press the SOIL LEVEL button until you have reached the desired setting. You can choose between Light, Normal or Heavy soil. 4 Wash/Rinse Adjust to select the proper water temperature for the wash cycle. The prewash and rinse water is always cold to help reduce energy usage and reduce setting of stains and wrinkles. Follow the fabric manufacturer's care label when selecting the wash temperature. To change the wash temperature, press the WASH/RINSE button until you have reached the desired setting. NOTE: The first 10 seconds of the wash fill is always cold. This feature assists in conditioning the fabric and preventing stains from setting on garments. 5 Spin Speed Changing the SPIN SPEED changes the final spin speed of the cycles. Always follow the fabric manufacturer's care label when changing the SPIN SPEED. To change the SPIN SPEED, press the SPIN SPEED button until you have reached the desired setting. Higher spin speeds are not available on certain cycles, such as Delicates. Higher spin speeds remove more water from the clothes and will help reduce dry time, but may also increase the possibility of setting wrinkles on some fabrics. 6 START/PAUSE Press to start a wash cycle. If the washer is running, pressing it once will pause the washer. Press again to restart the wash cycle. NOTE: If the washer is paused and the cycle is not restarted within 15 minutes, the current wash cycle will be cancelled. NOTE: The washer performs automatic system checks after pressing the START button. Water will flow in 45 seconds or less. Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support 5
