Ellen White, like many of her contemporaries, wrote against the practice using other names including “self-abuse”, “secret sin”, “secret vice,” "moral pollution," etc. Although Ellen White never used the word masturbation she did warn of the negative effects that this habit has on physical and mental health. Here are several examples of her council:
“Secret vice is the destroyer of high resolve, earnest endeavor, and strength of will to form a good religious character.” (1864 booklet "An Appeal to Mothers")
“When persons are addicted to the habit of self-abuse, it is impossible to arouse their moral sensibilities to appreciate eternal things or to delight in spiritual exercises. Impure thoughts seize and control the imagination and fascinate the mind, and next follows an almost uncontrollable desire for the performance of impure actions.” (Mind, Character, and Personality, Volume 2, Page 592)
The Seventh-day Adventist church has taken no official position on masturbation.
