A:Answer Hello Annie,
I am happy to help. To view an illustration of the water levels for your washer, see page 5 of the owner's manual at: http://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-90532.pdf
The water level for each cycle has been reduced to comply with 2011 federal energy and water regulations. Your new GE Washer is designed to accommodate these reduced water levels and to wash and rinse properly with the quantity of water added for each selected cycle. The agitator design provides better circulation and turn-over of clothes and drives the clothes down into the water.
The Power Clean setting uses more water than standard wash cycles. It is recommended for extra-large loads and heavily soiled clothes.
This model features a Deep Rinse option. When selected, the washer will go into a deep fill rinse after the agitation cycle. The deep fill is necessary when using a liquid fabric softener or when a deep fill rinse is preferred. On Auto Load Sensing models, it is determined by the load size detected. The deep fill rinse is approximately the same as the load size.
Thank you for checking with us.
