Proper Use Of Detergent - GE GUV27 Manuel Du Propriétaire

Getting started - Washer
Always follow fabric manufacturer's care label when laundering.
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). Wash lint producers such as cotton
towels and socks separate from lint collectors including synthetic garments and dress pants.
WARNING
DO NOT wash fabrics soiled with flammable liquids or cleaning solvents.
No washer can completely remove oil.
DO NOT wash or dry anything that has been soaked in or spotted with any type of oil (including cooking oils).
DO NOT reach into the washer until all moving parts have stopped.
Doing so can result in death, explosion, fire or amputation.
Loading the Washer
Load dry items loosely, no higher than the top row of holes in the washer basket. When loading wet items, make
sure you set the load/water level high enough to allow the items to move freely. To add items after washer has
started, press Start/Pause. Lift the lid and submerge additional items next to the agitator. Close the lid and press
Start to resume.
Do not wrap long items like sheets
or pants around the agitator.
Do not wash fabrics containing
flammable materials (waxes,
cleaning fluids, etc.).
Agitation will not start with the lid
up.
Loading the Washer (on models with an infusor)
Load dry items loosely in the washer basket. For best results, load items evenly and
loosely around the outside of the basket, filling in towards the center on larger loads.
To add items after washer has started, press Start/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 wash fabrics containing
flammable materials (waxes,
cleaning fluids, etc.).
Wash action will not start with the
lid up.

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.
Place detergent packets in the bottom of the wash basket
before adding clothes.

We recommend the use of High Efficiency detergents such
as in your energy efficient washer. 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.
