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.
You’ll find many answers to common problems in the
Before You
Call For Service
section. If you review our chart of
Troubleshooting Tips
first, you may not need to call for service at all.
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
If you do need service, you can relax knowing help is only a phone call away. A list of toll-free customer service numbers is included in the back section. Or,
in the U.S.,
you can always call the GE Answer
Center® at 800.626.2000, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
In Canada,
call 1-800-361-3400.
IMPORTANT!
Staple sales slip or cancelled check here.
Proof of the original purchase date is needed to obtain service under the warranty.
Properly ground dryer to conform with all
governing codes and ordinances. Follow details in Installation Instructions.
Install or store where it will not be exposed to
temperatures below freezing or exposed to the weather.
Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized
power supply circuit to avoid electrical overload.
Remove all sharp packing items and dispose of all
shipping materials properly.
Exhaust/Ducting:
Gas dryers
MUST
be exhausted to the outside.
Exhausting electric dryers to the outside is
strongly recommended
to prevent large amounts of moisture and lint from being blown into the room.
Use only rigid metal or flexible metal 4² diameter ductwork inside the dryer cabinet or for exhausting to the outside.
USE OF PLASTIC OR OTHER COMBUSTIBLE DUCTWORK CAN CAUSE A FIRE. PUNCTURED DUCTWORK CAN CAUSE A FIRE IF IT COLLAPSES OR BECOMES OTHERWISE RESTRICTED IN USE OR DURING INSTALLATION.
For complete details, follow the Installation Instructions.

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.
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

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.

About your dryer features.
Extra 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 Automatic cycles. If you are using the
CYCLE SIGNAL
and you select the
EXTRA
CARE
option, a signal will sound at the end
of drying time and several times during the
EXTRA CARE
cycle. This will remind you that
it is time to remove the clothes.
Cycle Signal
This signal will sound just before the end of the cycle to remind you to remove the clothes. The signal sound level can be adjusted.
If you selected the
EXTRA CARE
option the signal will sound at the end of the drying time and will sound several times during the
EXTRA 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 Cycle Signal especially when drying fabrics like polyester knits and permanent press. These fabrics should be removed so wrinkles won’t set in.

Do not use this drying rack when there
are other clothes in the dryer.
SensorDry
This feature is only activated in the automatic cycles.
As the clothes tumble they touch a large sensor. The
SensorDry
feature will stop the heating cycle as soon as the clothes have reached the selected dryness.
On some models there is a
SensorDry
indicator light. This light is illuminated during automatic cycles. When the
SensorDry
feature stops the heating cycle the light will go out and the cool down period will begin.

WARNING!
Do not overload the Drying Center. It may be damaged if more than 20 lbs. are applied.
Always store the Drying Center in a safe position so that it does not hit anyone.
Do not allow children to play with the Drying Center.
The pole on the Drying Center can be set at different heights. Line up the tabs on the pole with the notch on the brackets (this will occur when the pole is parallel to the control panel) and raise or lower the pole, resting the tab on the bracket at the height you want.
The Drying Center can be mounted on either side of the dryer.
To remove and transfer the Drying Center to the opposite side:
Remove the pole by raising it up. Make sure to line up the tabs on the pole with the notches on the bracket.
Remove the four screws that secure the bracket to the dryer. Three of the screws will be required to mount the bracket on the other side. The fourth screw at the top of the side panel flange (shown in circled illustration) needs to be put back into its original location.
On the other side of the dryer remove the screw at the top of the side panel flange
(shown in circled illustration).
Turn the bracket upside down and attach it with the screw you just removed and with the three screws that were removed from the other side.
WARNING!
Make sure you use only these screws. Never use any long screws (must be less than 3/8²) or pointed screws.
Insert the pole into the mounting bracket.

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.
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.
