GE GBXR1080 Washer User Manual


 
Load Size
The water level should just cover the clothes. Adjust the load size accordingly. Loosely load clothes
no higher than the top row of holes in the washer tub.
Wash/Spin Speed
The agitator moves clothes around for a cleaner wash; the basket spins later in the cycle to release
water from the load. The Wash/Spin Speed dial sets the speed of both the agitator and the basket.
With Normal wash speed, the agitator moves faster. Use for cottons, denims and play clothes. With
Delicate wash speed, the agitator moves slower. Use for delicate and knit items.
The Normal spin speed is for durable items. The Delicate spin speed is for delicate items like
sweaters and lingerie. Clothes will be less dry than when using Normal spin speed.
Temperature
Select the water temperature for the wash and rinse cycles. Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care
label or instructions when laundering. Follow the water temperature guide on the washer lid.
