Loading and using the washer.
Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care label when laundering. www.geappliances.ca
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).
Sorting Wash Loads
Add detergent as the wash basket fills with water,
before you load clothes. Using too much detergent
can be a common cause of laundry problems.
Today’s detergents are formulated to be effective
without highly visible sudsing. Be sure to carefully
read and follow manufacturer’s recommendations
for how much detergent to use in your wash.
You can use less detergent if you have soft water,
a smaller load or a lightly soiled load.
Proper Use of Detergent
Load dry items loosely, no higher than the top row
of holes in the washer basket. When loading wet
items, make sure you set the load/water level high
enough to allow the items to move freely. Water
level should just cover the clothes. To add items
after washer has started, push in Cycle Dial and
submerge additional items next to the agitator.
Close the lid and pull Cycle Dial out to restart.
■Do not wrap long items like sheets and pants around
the agitator.
■Do not wash fabrics containing flammable materials
(waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.).
■Water will fill and pump out of the washer and the
timer will advance with the lid up, but as a safety
precaution, the washer will not agitate or spin.
