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 add fabric softener sheets once the load
has become warm. They may cause fabric
softener stains. Bounce

Fabric Conditioner
Dryer Sheets have been approved for use in all
GE Dryers when used in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not overload. This wastes energy and causes
wrinkling.
Do not dry the following items: fiberglass items,
woolens, rubber-coated items, plastics, items with
plastic trim and foam-filled items.
Care and Cleaning of the Dryer
The Exterior: Wipe or dust any spills or washing
compounds with a damp cloth. Dryer control
panel and finishes may be damaged by some
laundry pretreatment soil and stain remover
products. Apply these products away from the
dryer. The fabric may then be washed and dried
normally. Damage to your dryer caused by these
products is not covered by your warranty.
The Lint Filter: Clean the lint filter before each use.
Remove by pulling straight up. Run your fingers
across the filter. A waxy buildup may form on the
lint filter from using dryer added fabric softener
sheets.
To remove this buildup, wash the lint screen in
warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly and replace.
Do not operate the dryer without the lint filter in
place.
Vacuum the lint from the dryer lint filter area if you
notice a change in dryer performance.
Stainless Steel: To clean stainless steel surfaces,
use a damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
suitable for stainless steel surfaces. Remove the
cleaner residue, and then dry with a clean cloth.
Dryer Interior and Duct: The interior of the appliance
and exhaust duct should be cleaned once a year by
qualified service personnel.
The Exhaust Duct: Inspect and clean the exhaust
ducting at least once a year to prevent clogging.
A partially clogged exhaust can lengthen the
drying time.
Follow these steps:
1
Turn off electrical supply by disconnecting
the plug from the wall socket.
2
Disconnect the duct from the dryer.
3
Vacuum the duct with the hose attachment
and reconnect the duct.
The Exhaust Hood: Check from the outside that
the flaps of the hood move freely when operating.
Make sure that there is not wildlife (birds, insects,
etc.) nesting inside the duct or hood.
