Care and Cleaning
Exterior: Immediately wipe off any spills. Wipe with damp cloth. Do not hit surface with sharp objects.
Interior: Dry around the washer door opening, flexible gasket (including attached hoses) and door glass. These areas should always be clean to ensure a water tight seal.
It is recommended to rinse the washer at least once per year with 1/3 cup of bleach (no clothes), using any of the wash cycles.
Moving and Storage: Ask the service technician to remove water from drain pump and hoses. Do not store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather. When moving the washer, the tub should be kept stationary by using the shipping bolts removed during installation. See Installation Instructions in this book. If these parts are not available, they can be ordered by visiting our Website at ge.com or by calling 800.GE.CARES.
Long Vacations: Be sure water supply is shut off at faucets. Drain all water from hoses if weather will be below freezing.
