Care and Cleaning

Exterior: Immediately wipe off any spills. Wipe with damp cloth. Try not to hit surface with sharp objects.

Interior: Dry around the washer door opening, flexible gasket and door glass. These areas should always be clean to ensure a water tight seal.

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. In the United States, call the GE Answer Center®, 800.626.2000 for information on how to keep the tub stationary when moving the washer. In Canada, write to Manager, Consumer Relations, Camco Inc., 1 Factory Lane, Suite 310, Moncton, N.B. E1C 9M3.

Long Vacations: Be sure water supply is shut off at faucets. Drain all water from hoses if weather will be below freezing.
