Operating instructions. F Cycle Options - Continued Deep Fill Select the Deep Fill feature for loads where extra water is needed. The Deep Fill feature is recommended for special case loads only, not for typical use. Press the Deep Fill button once before starting the cycle to add an incremental amount of water to the wash load. Holding the Deep Fill button for 3 seconds will provide the deepest fill level possible; this will increase cycle time due to the additional time it takes to fill the washer. To cancel the option if desired, press the Deep Fill button again. NOTE: The Deep Fill button can also be pressed after the washer has completed filling and is in the wash phase if additional water is desired. To stop the extra fill, press the Deep Fill button again and the water will stop. Auto Soak This option begins with a brief agitation, soaks for a specified period of time, then moves through the rest of the cycle automatically. 2nd Rinse When you use extra detergent or bleach to clean heavily soiled clothes, use the 2nd Rinse option to better remove additional residues. Extra Spin Select to provide additional spin time, increasing energy efficiency through reducing drying times. 2nd Rinse + Extra Spin Provides both a second rinse and an extra spin. Deep Rinse Set this option to provide a deep rinse or when using fabric softener. This option may change other settings (e.g. Spin may go to a higher setting) to maximize performance. 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 light blinking If an out-of-balance condition is detected by the washer, the Spin light 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. Fill light (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 light starts 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. 10
