About the dryer features. Sensor Dry Sensor Dry This feature is active in all cycles except Timed Dry, Warm Up and Air Fluff.

The sensor will stop the heating cycle as soon as the clothes have reached the selected dryness.
Notes. GEAppliances.
About loading and using the dryer. Always follow the fabric manufacturer’s care label when laundering. Sorting and Loading Hints As a general rule, if clothes are sorted properly for the washer, they are sorted properly for the dryer. Do not overload. This wastes energy and causes wrinkling. Do not add fabric softener sheets once the load has become warm. They may cause fabric softener stains.
About venting the dryer. GEAppliances.com For the best drying performance, the dryer needs to be properly vented. The dryer will use more energy and run longer if it is not vented to the below specifications. Carefully follow the details on Exhausting in the Installation Instructions. Use only rigid metal 4” diameter ductwork inside the dryer cabinet. Use only rigid metal or UL listed flexible metal 4” diameter ductwork for exhausting to the outside. Do not use plastic or other combustible ductwork.
