Always follow fabric manufacturer's care label when laundering.

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.

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 dry anything that has been soaked in or spotted with any type of oil.
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 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
if the lid is locked; wait until the Lid Locked indicator on the
display is no longer illuminated before attempting to open
the lid. Lift the lid and submerge additional items around
the outside of the basket. Close the lid and press START
to resume. Adjust load size selection and/or use EXTRA
RINSE option if necessary.

GE Appliances recommends the use of High Efficiency
laundry packs such as Tide PODS™. 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.
Do not put lawn or sofa cushions into the washer as they
are too big to move. Remove outer covers and ONLY
wash them.
