Care and

Cleaning of

the Washer

Lid: Wash with a damp cloth on the outside and inside and dry with a soft cloth.

Wash Basket: Leave the lid open after washing to allow moisture to evaporate. If you want to clean the basket, use a clean soft cloth dampened with liquid detergent; then rinse. (Do not use harsh or gritty cleaners.)

Fill Hoses: Hoses connecting washer to faucet should be replaced every 5 years.

Exterior: Immediately wipe off any spills. Wipe with damp cloth. Do not touch the surface or the Touch Screen with sharp objects.

Moving and Storage: Ask the service technician to remove water from drain pump and hoses. For more information, visit

www.GEAppliances.com or call 800.GE.CARES (800.432.2737). Do not store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather.

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

Dispenser Drawers: Detergent and fabric softener may build up in the dispenser drawer. Residue should be removed once or twice a month.

1Remove the drawer by pulling it straight out until it stops. Lift up on the front of the drawer and pull it out.

2Remove the inserts from the 3 compartments; rinse the inserts and the drawer with warm water to remove traces of accumulated laundry products.

3To clean the drawer opening, use a small, non-metal brush to clean the recess. Remove all residue from the upper and lower parts of the recess.

4Return the inserts to the proper compartments and replace the drawer.
