The Exterior: Wipe or dust any spills or washing compounds wkh a damp cloth. D_yer conuol

panel and finishes may be damaged by some laundI T pretreatment soil and stain remover

products. Apply these products away f]om the dryer The fabric may then be washed and dried

nomm/ly: Damage to your dryer caused by these products is not covered by your warranty:

Do not touch the surface or the Touch Screen

with sharp objects.

The Lint F'flter: Clean file lint filter before each

use. Remove by pulling smdght up. Run your finget_ across the filter. A waxy buildup may form on the lint filter fiom using dryer-added

fhb*Jc softener sheets. To remove this buildup, wash the lint screen in warm, soapy water DtT

thoroughly and replace. Do not operam the dryer without the lint filmr in place.

\4_cuum the lint flom file 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, nonabrasive

cleaner suitable for stainless smel surfaces. Remove the cleaner residue, and then &T with

a clean cloth.

The stainless steel used to make file 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 flmcfion or durability of the drum.

The Exhaust Hood: Check widl a mirror dmt the inside flaps of the hood move f]eely when

operating. Make sure that there is no wildlife.

(birds, insects, etc.) nesting inside the duct

or hood.

follow all installation instructions.

• Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified installer.

• Install the clothes dryer according to these instructions and in accordance with local

codes.

,, This dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors. ,, Use only 4" rigid metal ducting for exhausting

the clothes dryer to the outdoors.

,, DO NOT install a clothes dryer with flexible

plastic ducting materials. If flexible metal (semi-rigid or foil-type) duct is installed, it

must be UL-listed and installed in accordance

with the instructions found in "Connecting the

Dryer to House Vent" on page 29 of this manual. Flexible ducting materials are known

to collapse, be easily crushed and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct dryer airflow

and increase the risk of fire.

leave these instructions with the customer.)

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.

FOR GAS MODELS ONLY:

NOTE: Installation and service of this dryer must be performed by a qualified installer,

service agency or the gas supplier.

in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts:

, This product must be installed by a licensed

plumber or gas fitter.

, When using ball-type gas shut-off valves,

they shall be T-handle-type.

, A flexible gas connector, when used, must

not exceed 3 feet.
