WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk
of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or

1. Instructions to follow if the user smells gas: Contact your local gas
supplier for information to be displayed.
2. Instructions concerning flammable materials as follows:
FOR YOUR SAFETY:
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
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.

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.

GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF GOOD PRACTICE
(COIN-OPERATED MODELS ONLY)
In fulfilling the specific needs of different commercial installations, the purchaser of this
General Electric automatic dryer may wish to locate the coin box and controls in any of
a number of locations. The responsibility for the proper performance of this work lies solely
with the purchaser. It should be done by properly trained and qualified personnel, and in
accordance with local code requirements.
In addition, General Electric Company assumes no responsibility or liability whatsoever to the
purchaser for any patent infringement expenses, either in the form of damages or legal costs,
where the alleged infringement is based on a patent claim including one or more components
added by the purchaser (i.e., not supplied by General Electric Company with the purchased
dryer).
Set forth below are some general principles which should be followed by persons installing the
coin box and controls in the desired location. This listing is not all-inclusive, and is
only intended to serve as a general guide. These principles are intended to supplement,
not modify, the Installation Instructions which accompany the automatic dryer.
1. Any component added to the automatic dryer, either electrically or mechanically,
should be properly grounded.
2. All current-carrying metal parts should be isolated from possible contact by the user.
3. All wiring should be properly protected from sharp edges, burrs, moving parts and other
agencies which might cause abrasion of the insulation on the conductors.
4. All electrical connections should be mechanically secure, and should provide adequate
and reliable electrical contact under conditions, such as vibration, to which they may be
subjected.
5. All electrical components, wires and terminals should be of proper electrical rating for the
specific application.
6. All insulating materials should remain effective under the specific conditions to which they
will be exposed (e.g., humidity, temperature, etc.).
7. The installation should not be incompatible with the electrical circuit within the automatic
dryer nor in any manner interfere with either the safety devices or the sequence of
operations of the cycle which are engineered into the appliance.
8. Uninsulated current-carrying metal parts should have adequate and ensured permanence of
spacing from other parts.
