They are on the label on the front of the dryer behind the door.

Inside you will find many helpful hints on how to use and maintain your dryer properly. Just a little
preventive care on your part can save you a great deal of time and money over the life of your dryer.

READ THIS MANUAL

PROPER VENTING

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 specifications outlined in the

Venting the Dryer

section in this

manual and the

Exhausting

section in the Installation Instructions.

IF YOU NEED SERVICE

You’ll find many answers to common problems in the

Before You Call For Service

section. If you review

our chart of

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act

This act requires the governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure
to such substances.

Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide,
formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.

Properly adjusted dryers will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be
minimized further by properly venting the dryer to the outdoors.

PROPER INSTALLATION

This dryer must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions
before it is used. If you did not receive an Installation Instructions sheet, you can receive one by
calling us toll-free at the GE Answer Center

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

YOUR LAUNDRY AREA

■ Keep the area underneath and around your

appliances free of combustible materials (lint,
paper, rags, etc.), gasoline, chemicals, and other
flammable vapors and liquids.

■ Keep the floor around your appliances clean and

dry to reduce the possibility of slipping.

■ Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is

used by or near children. Do not allow children to
play on, with, or inside this or any other appliance.

■ Keep all laundry aids (such as detergents,

bleaches, etc.) out of the reach of children,
preferably in a locked cabinet. Observe all
warnings on container labels to avoid injury.

■ Never climb on or stand on the dryer top.

WHEN USING YOUR DRYER

■ Never reach into the dryer while the drum is

moving. Before loading, unloading or adding
clothes, wait until the drum has completely
stopped.

■ Clean the lint filter before each load to prevent

lint accumulation inside the dryer or in the room.

DO NOT OPERATE THE DRYER WITHOUT THE LINT
FILTER IN PLACE.

■ Do not wash or dry articles that have been

cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted
with combustible or explosive substances (such as
wax, oil, paint, gasoline, degreasers, dry-cleaning
solvents, kerosene, etc.) which may ignite or
explode. Do not add these substances to the
wash water. Do not use or place these substances
around your washer or dryer during operation.

■ Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in

your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils
may contribute to a chemical reaction that could
cause a clothes load to catch fire

.

■ Any article on which you have used a cleaning

solvent or that contains flammable materials
(such as cleaning cloths, mops, towels used in
beauty salons, restaurants, or barber shops, etc.)
must not be placed in or near the dryer until
solvents or flammable materials have been
removed. There are many highly flammable
items used in homes such as acetone, denatured
alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some household
cleaners, some spot removers, turpentines,
waxes, wax removers and products containing
petroleum distillates.

■ The laundry process can reduce the flame

retardancy of fabrics. To avoid such a result,
carefully follow the garment manufacturer’s
care instructions.

■ Do not dry articles containing rubber, plastic,

foam, or similar materials such as padded bras,
tennis shoes, galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby
pants, plastic bags, pillows, etc., that may melt or
burn. Some rubber materials, when heated, can
under certain circumstances produce fire by
spontaneous combustion.

■ Do not store plastic, paper or clothing that may

burn or melt on top of the dryer during operation.

■ Garments labeled

Dry Away from Heat

or

Do

Not Tumble Dry

(such as life jackets containing

Kapok) must not be put in your dryer.

■ Do not dry fiberglass articles in your dryer.

Skin irritation could result from the remaining
particles that may be picked up by clothing
during subsequent dryer uses.

■ To minimize the possibility of electric shock,

unplug this appliance from the power supply
or disconnect the dryer at the household
distribution panel by removing the fuse or
switching off the circuit breaker before
attempting any maintenance or cleaning
(except the removal and cleaning of the lint
filter).

NOTE:

Turning the Cycle Selector knob

to an

OFF

position does

NOT

disconnect the

appliance from the power supply.

Operating Instructions Safety InstructionsCustomer Service Troubleshooting Tips

WHEN NOT USING YOUR DRYER

■ Grasp the plug firmly when disconnecting this

appliance to avoid damage to the cord while
pulling. Place the cord away from traffic areas so
it will not be stepped on, tripped over or
subjected to damage.

■

Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of
this appliance or attempt any servicing unless
specifically recommended in this Owner’s Manual
or in published user-repair instructions that you
understand and have the skills to carry out.

■ Before discarding a dryer, or removing it from

service, remove the dryer door to prevent
children from hiding inside.

■ Do not tamper with controls.

■ Never attempt to operate this appliance if

it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially
disassembled, or has missing or broken parts,
including a damaged cord or plug.

■ The interior of the machine and the exhaust duct

connection inside the dryer should be cleaned at
least once a year by a qualified technician. See the

Loading and Using the Dryer

section.

■ If yours is a gas dryer, it is equipped with an

automatic electric ignition and does not have a
pilot light.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIGHT WITH A

MATCH.

Burns may result from having your hand
in the vicinity of the burner when the automatic
ignition turns on.

■ You may wish to soften your laundered fabrics

or reduce the static electricity in them by using
a dryer-applied fabric softener or an anti-static
conditioner. We recommend you use either a
fabric softener in the wash cycle, according to
the manufacturer’s instructions for those
products, or try a dryer-added product for
which the manufacturer gives written assurance
on the package that their product can be safely
used in your dryer. Service or performance
problems caused by use of these products are
the responsibility of the manufacturers of those
products and are not covered under the warranty
to this appliance.

Read and follow this Safety Information carefully.

Operating Instructions Safety InstructionsCustomer Service Troubleshooting Tips

About your dryer features.

End of Cycle Signal

This signal will sound just before the end
of the cycle to remind you to remove the
clothes. On some models, the signal sound
level can be adjusted.

If you selected the

WRINKLE CARE

option
the signal will sound at the end of the
drying time and will sound several times
during the

WRINKLE CARE

cycle. This will
remind you that it is time to remove the
clothes.

NOTE:

■

Remove garments promptly at the sound
of the signal. Place clothes on hangers
so wrinkles won’t set in.

■

Use the END OF CYCLE SIGNAL especially
when drying fabrics like polyester knits
and permanent press. These fabrics should
be removed so wrinkles won’t set in.

Drum Lamp

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.

Wrinkle Care

Use this option to minimize the wrinkles
in clothes. It provides approximately 15
minutes of no-heat tumbling after the
clothes are dry.

This option can only be used with the

COTTONS, EASY CARE,DELICATES

, and

ULTRACARE

cycles. If you are using the

CYCLE

SIGNAL

and you select the

WRINKLE CARE

option, a signal will sound at the end of the
drying time and several times during the

WRINKLE CARE

cycle. This will remind you

that it is time to remove the clothes.

If

WRINKLE CARE

is not

ON,

the dryer will stop

once the timer reaches the

WRINKLE CARE

mark on the cycle dial.

Dryness Sensor Cycle–on some models

This feature is only activated in the

COTTONS, EASY CARE,DELICATES

, and

ULTRACARE

cycles.

The

Dryness Sensor

provides greater
drying accuracy than standard machines,
resulting in shorter dry times and better
clothes care. As the clothes tumble, they
touch a moisture sensor. The sensor will
stop the heating cycle as soon as the clothes
have reached the selected dryness.

On some models, there is a

Dryness

Sensor Cycle

indicator light. This light is
illuminated during automatic cycles.
When the

Dryness Sensor

feature stops the
heating cycle, the light will go out and the
cool down period will begin.

Note:

The clothes will be hot if they are
removed immediately after the indicator
light goes out.

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.

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. Moisten your fingers and reach into the filter
opening. Run your fingers

across the filter. Have a

qualified

technician vacuum the lint from the dryer

once a year.

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:

Turn off electrical supply by disconnecting the
plug from the wall socket.

Disconnect the duct from the dryer.

Vacuum the duct with the hose attachment and
reconnect the duct.

The Exhaust Hood:

Check with a mirror that the inside
flaps of the hood move freely when operating. Make
sure that there is not wildlife (birds, insects, etc.)
nesting inside the duct or hood.
