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.
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. See the
Installation Instructions packed with product for
information on how to reinstall the shipping rod to
keep the tub stationary when moving the washer.
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.
