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. Call the GE Answer Center®, 800.626.2000
for information on how to keep the tub stationary
when moving the washer.
Long Vacations:
Be sure water supply is shut off at
faucets. Drain all water from hoses if weather will
be below freezing.
