GE Profile™ UltraFast Combo Washer/Dryer - Loading Tips

After a qualified installation, getting the best performance out of your GE Profile™ UltraFast Combo starts with the proper loading of your laundry into the Combo. Below are some helpful tips to remember when loading your Comb.
 

Follow Label Instructions

Always follow the fabric manufacturer’s care label on your laundry items.
 

Sorting Wash Loads

Sort by color (whites, lights, colors), soil level, fabric type (sturdy cottons, easy care, delicates), and whether the fabric produces lint (terry cloth, chenille) or collects lint (velveteen, corduroy). Wash lint producers, such as cotton towels and socks, separate from lint collectors, including synthetic garments and dress pants. For example, do not mix towels with sheets.
 

Loading the Combo

The wash drum may be fully loaded with loosely added items.

  1. Press Start/Pause and wait until the door is unlatched. The Combo may take up to 20 seconds to unlock the door after pressing Start/Pause, depending on the machine conditions. Do not try to force open the door when it is locked.
  2. After the door unlocks, open it gently.
  3. Add your laundry items.
  4. Close the door.
