Smart Wash & Rinse
When enabled, the Smart Wash option will automatically sense the soil level of the load and adjust the wash
cycle accordingly (adding or removing agitation and soaking times) to achieve excellent wash performance while
minimizing wear.
The Smart Rinse feature senses the amount of soil and detergent in the current laundry cycle and determines
whether additional water is needed to ensure a thorough rinse keeping fabrics performing like new for longer.
Delay Wash/Remote Start
You can delay the start of a wash cycle for up to 24 hours or remote start the washer by using the Delay Wash/
Remote Start feature. Press to step by hours or hold to scroll the Delay Wash pad to set the amount of time
you want to delay the start of the wash cycle. If you have connected your washer to WiFi, the first selection,
"AP", can be selected to enable remote starting of your washer from the GE Appliance Smartphone app. Or,
if you select a delay time in hours, the machine will count down and start automatically following this period.
Press the Start pad once you have configured the Delay Wash to the proper setting to enable this feature. To
cancel this option, simply power off and power on the controls.
NOTE: If you forget to fully close the door, a reminder signal will beep reminding you to do so.
NOTE: If you open the door when the delay is counting down, the machine will enter the pause state. You must
close the door and press Start again in order to restart the countdown.
Time Saver
(on some models)
This option reduces the overall washer cycle time by optimizing the wash, rinse and spin actions and/or
gently raising the wash temperature to get clothes cleaned faster. Option is available on NORMAL, WHITES,
TOWELS, DELICATES, BULKY Bedding and ACTIVE WEAR cycles. Total wash time will vary based on
cycle chosen and options selected.
To use:
1. Turn power on and select a wash cycle which has Time Saver as an option.
2. Press the Time Saver pad to reduce the overall wash time.
3. Press the Start/Pause pad.
More Water
(on some models)
This option adds approximately 3 gallons to the wash and rinse portions of the cycle. If the option is selected
before the cycle starts, the water will be added from the beginning of the wash cycle and later to the rinse. If
the option is selected during the wash portion, more water will be added at this point and later to the rinse.
Likewise, if the More Water option is selected after the wash portion has completed, the washer will add more
water to the rinse only. If wash and rinse have completed, the More Water pad will no longer be active.
ULTRAFRESH VENT System with ODORBLOCK™
The ULTRAFRESH VENT System with OdorBlock was designed to eliminate excess moisture in the washer
following a wash cycle to help prevent odors from developing. This washer was designed to drain water at the
end of the cycle more effectively. Following the wash cycle, the user can then choose to leave the door open
or select the ULTRAFRESH VENT feature to assist with drying out the gasket and other areas of the washer.
The OdorBlock system features multiple components which are manufactured with Microban
technology.* Microban is a safe and effective antimicrobial technology that will last the life of your washer. For
more information, please visit www.microban.com/geappliances.
ULTRAFRESH VENT is available after the wash cycle is complete and you have removed your cleaned
laundry. Once the door is closed, a notification tune will play and the ULTRAFRESH VENT pad LED will blink.
Upon pressing the pad, ULTRAFRESH VENT will begin.
To select ULTRAFRESH VENT at any other point, power on the washer, ensure a cycle is not actively
running, and remove any garments from the basket, then press and release the ULTRAFRESH
VENT pad so that the notification tune plays and the ULTRAFRESH VENT pad LED begins to
blink. Then press the ULTRAFRESH VENT pad again to start the feature.
During the operation of ULTRAFRESH VENT the door will remain locked and the washer will
intermittently spin at low speeds for up to 8 hours. Profile models utilize a sensor to determine end time.
If garments are detected in the basket during ULTRAFRESH VENT, the washer will instead run TUMBLE
CARE or 1 STEP WASH + DRY, based on option availability for your model.
The ULTRAFRESH VENT feature may be cancelled at any time by pressing the POWER pad, turning the cycle
knob, or pressing the ULTRAFRESH VENT pad.
