Getting Started; Quick Start - GE GFQ14 Manuel Du Propriétaire Et Instructions D'installation

Getting started

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY
WARNING
INFORMATION before operating this appliance.
Introduction
• This unit allows: wash only; dry only; wash and dry cycles.
• Fill the drum 2/3 full with laundry for best wash and dry performance. This allows air movement and proper drying.
A fully loaded drum will lead to longer dry times.
NOTE: During Dry cycles temperatures in the unit can get very hot. For this reason, the door will lock during the dry
cycle and remain locked, after pausing or at the end of the cycle, until temperatures cool down. Forcing the door
open will result in a broken door mechanism.
• This unit uses condenser drying technology. This enables installation and use without a vent, but loads take
approximately 1.5 times longer to dry than a traditional vented dryer.
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
