Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care label when laundering.
Sorting and Loading Hints
WARNING
• Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from dryer.
• DO NOT dry anything that has ever had anything flammable on it (even after washing).
• No washer can completely remove oil.
USING THE DRYER
As a general rule, if clothes are sorted properly for the washer, they are sorted properly for the dryer. Try also to sort items according to size. For example, do not dry a sheet with socks or other small items.
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 this dryer when used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not overload. This wastes energy and causes wrinkling.
- Fire Hazard
• DO NOT dry anything that has ever had any type of oil
on it (including cooking oils).
• Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried on a clothesline.
• Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Drying Rack (on some models)
A handy drying rack may be used for drying delicate items such as washable sweaters. To install the drying rack, place the rack all the way into the dryer drum and fit its feet down and securely into place
in the dryer.
NOTES:
The drying rack must be used with the TIMED DRY cycle. Use with sensor cycles may
result in damp items or extended cycle times.
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 WE02X29449 on-line at
GEApplianceparts.com, 24 hours a day or by phone at 877.959.8688 during normal business hours.
10 49-3000206 Rev 1
Care and cleaning
Interior and Duct
The interior of the appliance and exhaust duct should be cleaned once a year by qualified service personnel. 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:
1
Turn off electrical supply by disconnecting the plug from the wall socket.
2
Disconnect the duct from the dryer.
3
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 no wildlife (birds, insects, etc.) nesting inside the duct or hood.
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.
CARE AND CLEANING
Lint Filter
Clean the lint filter before each use. Remove by pulling straight up. Run your fingers across the filter. A waxy buildup may form
on the lint filter from using dryer added fabric softener sheets. To remove this buildup, wash the lint screen in warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly and
replace. Vacuum the lint from the dryer lint filter area if you notice a change in dryer performance.
NEVER OPERATE THE DRYER WITHOUT ITS FILTER IN PLACE.
Stainless Steel
To clean stainless steel surfaces use a damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner suitable for stainless steel surfaces. Remove the cleaner residue and then dry with a clean cloth.
The stainless steel used to make the dryer drum provides the highest reliability available in a GE Appliances 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 Light
The drum light is an LED light. Replacement must be done by a qualified technician.

Installation Instructions
CONNECTING INLET HOSES (for steam dryer models only)
CONNECTING INLET HOSES
To produce steam, the dryer must connect to the cold water supply. Since the washer must also connect to the cold water, a “Y” connector is inserted to allow both inlet hoses to make that connection at the same time.
NOTE: Use new inlet hoses; never use old hoses.
1. Turn the cold water faucet off. Remove the
washer inlet hose from the washer fill valve connector (cold).
2. Ensure the rubber flat washer is in place and
attach one female coupling of the short hose provided onto the washer fill valve connector. Tighten by hand until firmly seated.
3. Attach one male end of the “Y” connector to
the other female coupling of the short hose. Ensure the rubber flat washer is in place. Tighten by hand until firmly seated.
CONNECTING INLET HOSES (cont.)
7. Using pliers, tighten all the couplings with an
additional two–thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the couplings may result.
8. Turn the water faucet on.
9. Check for leaks around the ‘’Y’’ connector,
faucet and hose couplings.
4. Insert the filter screen in the coupling of the washer’s inlet hose. If a rubber flat washer is
already in place remove it before installing the filter screen. Attach this coupling to one male end of the ‘’Y’’ connector. Tighten by hand until firmly seated.
5. Ensure the rubber flat washer is in place and attach a 4 ft. to 6 ft. long water inlet hose (may need to be purchased separately) to one male end of the ‘’Y’’ connector. Tighten by hand until firmly seated.
6. Ensure the rubber flat washer is in place and attach the other end of the dryer’s long inlet hose to the fill valve connector at the bottom of the dryer back panel. Tighten by hand until firmly seated.
WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
Hot and cold water faucets MUST be installed within 42 in. (107 cm) of your washer’s water inlet. The faucets MUST be 3/4 in. (1.9 cm) garden hose-type so inlet hoses can be connected. Water pressure MUST be between 10 and 120 pounds per square inch. Your water department can advise you of your water pressure.
NOTE: A water softener is recommended to reduce buildup of scale inside the steam generator if the home water supply is very hard.

CONNECTING THE DRYER TO HOUSE VENT
RIGID METAL TRANSITION DUCT
• For best drying performance, a rigid metal transition duct is recommended.
• Rigid metal transition ducts reduce the risk of crushing and kinking.
UL-LISTED FLEXIBLE METAL CLOTHES DRYER TRANSITION DUCT
• If rigid metal cannot be used, then UL-listed flexible metal clothes dryer transition duct (GE Appliances part – PM08X10085) can be used.
• Never install transition duct in walls, ceilings, floors or other enclosed spaces.
• Total length of transition duct should not exceed 8’ (2.4 m).
• For many applications, installing elbows at both the dryer and the wall is highly recommended (see illustrations in next section). Elbows allow the dryer to sit close to the wall without kinking and/or crushing the transition duct, maximizing drying performance.
• Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.
UL-LISTED FLEXIBLE METAL (FOIL-TYPE) TRANSITION DUCT
• In special installations, it may be necessary to connect the dryer to the home exhaust vent using flexible metal (foil-type) transition duct. UL– LISTED universal flexible dryer transition duct (GE Appliances parts – PM8X73 or WX8X73) may be used ONLY in installations where rigid metal or flexible metal transition ducting cannot be used AND where a 4” diameter can be maintained throughout the entire length of the transition duct.
• In Canada and the United States, only transition ducts that comply with “UL 2158A STANDARD FOR CLOTHES DRYER TRANSITION DUCT” shall be used.
• Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.
• For best drying performance:
1. Slide one end of the duct over the clothes dryer outlet pipe.
2. Secure the duct with a clamp.
3. With the dryer in its permanent position, extend the duct to its full length. Allow 2” of duct to overlap the exhaust pipe. Cut off and remove excess duct. Keep the duct as straight as possible for maximum airflow.
4. Secure the duct to the exhaust pipe with the other clamp.
49-3000206 Rev 1 23
Installation Instructions
EXHAUSTING THE DRYER (cont.)
DO cut duct as short
as possible and install straight into wall.
DO NOT bend
or collapse ducting. Use elbows if turns are necessary.
DO NOT use
excessive exhaust length. Cut duct as short as possible.
EXHAUST LENGTH
Using exhaust longer than specified length will:
• Increase the drying times and the energy cost.
• Reduce the dryer life.
• Accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard.
The correct exhaust installation is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
Problems due to incorrect installation are not covered by the warranty.
The MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE length of the exhaust system depends upon the type of duct, number of turns, the type of exhaust hood (wall cap) and all conditions noted on the chart.
• Internal elbows added for side or bottom vent conversions must be included in the total elbow count.
• Any elbow greater than 45° should be treated as a 90° elbow; one elbow of 45° or less may be ignored.
• Two 45° elbows will be treated like one 90° elbow.
• For the side exhaust installations, add one 90° elbow to the chart.
• For every additional 90° elbow, reduce the allowable vent system length by 10 feet.
• When calculating the total vent system length, you must add all the straight portions and elbows of the system (including the transition duct).
DO use elbows
when turns are necessary.
