In addition to Harry's response, some models allowed the consumer to customize the settings. I know on the LG it displays a "custom programming" icon so you know your not using the factory defaults, but not sure if GE has that or what it displays if they do. If you think this could be it, a call to GE's technical services will get you the sequence to deafult it back to factory settings. However the most likely scenerio is what Harry said; its just the way they programmed that cycle's startup based on machine specs.
