GE recommends the use of High Efficiency 
detergents in all Energy Star rated washers. 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.

Troubleshooting
Care and cleaning of the washer.
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: GE recommends changing the hoses every 5 years.
Exterior: Immediately wipe off any spills. Wipe with damp cloth. Try not to hit surface with sharp objects.
Interior: The occasional use of a cycle that contains bleach will keep the inside of the washer clean.
Glass Lid: Use a clean, soft cloth dampened with vinegar and water solution.
Note: Do not use any cleaners that contain ammonia.
Moving and Storage: Ask the service technician to remove water from drain pump and hoses.
