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:
Hoses connecting washer to faucet should
be replaced every 5 years.
Lint Filter:
The lint filter is located under the agitator.
It is self-cleaning and requires no maintenance.
Exterior:
Immediately wipe off any spills. Wipe with
damp cloth. Try not to hit surface with sharp objects.
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.
