The alloy steel used to make the dryer drum provides 
the highest reliability available in a GE dryer. 
If the dryer drum should be scratched or dented 
during normal use, the drum will not rust or corrode. 
These surface blemishes will not affect the function or 
durability of the drum.
Drum Lamp (on some models)
Before replacing the light bulb, be sure to unplug 
the dryer power cord or disconnect the dryer at the 
household distribution panel by removing the fuse or 
switching off the circuit breaker. 
Reach above dryer 
opening from inside the drum. 
Remove the 
bulb and replace with the same size bulb.
Drying Rack (on some models)
A handy drying rack may be used for drying delicate 
items such as washable sweaters. 
Hook the rack over the lint filter so the rack extends 
into the dryer drum.
NOTE:
 The drying rack must be used with the Time Dry 
cycle.
 Do not use this drying rack when there 
are other clothes in the dryer.
If your model did not come with a drying rack, 
order one on-line at GEApplianceparts.com today, 
24 hours a day or by phone at 800.626.2002 
during normal business hours.

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
