Use this
appliance
only for its
intended
purpose as
described in
this Owner’s
Manual.
WHEN USING THE WASHER
n Never reach into the washer while it is moving .
Wait until the machine has completely stopped
before opening the lid .
n Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or
acids such as vinegar and/or rust remover . Mixing
different chemicals can produce a toxic gas which
may cause death .
n Do not wash or dry articles that have been
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with
combustible or explosive substances (such as
wax, oil, paint, gasoline, degreasers, dry-cleaning
solvents, kerosene, etc .) . These substances give
off vapors that may ignite or explode . Do not add
these substances to the wash water . Do not use
or place these substances around your washer or
dryer during operation .
n The laundry process can reduce the flame
retardancy of fabrics . To avoid such a result,
carefully follow the garment manufacturer’s wash
and care instructions .
n To minimize the possibility of electric shock, unplug
this appliance from the power supply or disconnect
the washer at the building’s distribution panel
by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit
breaker before attempting any maintenance or
cleaning .
NOTE : Turning the Cycle Selector Knob to an off
position, or pressing Pause does NOT disconnect
the appliance from the power supply.
n Never attempt to operate this appliance if it is
damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled,
or has missing or broken parts, including a
damaged cord or plug .
WHEN NOT IN USE
n Turn off water faucets to minimize leakage if a
break or rupture should occur . Check the condition
of the fill hoses; GE recommends changing the
hoses every 5 years .
n Before discarding a washer, or removing it from
service, remove the washer lid to prevent children
from hiding inside .
n Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of
this appliance unless specifically recommended in
this Owner’s Manual, or in published user-repair
instructions that you understand and have the
skills to carry out .
