Care and Cleaning of the Dryer. GEAppliances.com

The Exterior'. Wipe or dust any spills or

washing compounds with a dump cloth. Dryer control panel and finishes may be

damaged by some laundry pretreatment soiland stain remover products. Applythese

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.

Pull out the lint filter. Moisten your fingers and remove the captured lint. Once clean,

slide the filter back into position. Have a qualified technician vacuum the lint from the

dryer once a year.

NEVER OPERATE THE DRYER WITHOUT ITS FILTER IN PLACE.

Stainless Steel: To clean stainless steel

surfaces usea damp cloth with a mild, non- abrasive cleaner suitable for stainless steel

surfaces. Removethe cleaner residue and then dry with a clean cloth.

Thestainless steel used to make the dryer drum provides the highest reliability available

in a GEdryer. 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.

Drver 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. TheExhaust Hood: Checkwith a mirror that

the insideflaps of the hood move freely when

operating. Make surethat there is no wildlife (birds,insects,etc.) nesting insidethe duct or

hood.

Drum Lump (consumer replaceable on some models)

NOTE:The drum lamp is not consumer replaceable on models where there is a

domed cover over an LEDbulb. If this light should ever stop working, call for service.

For models that have a flat cover over the bulb secured by a screw:

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 to locate the light.

Remove the screw and the plastic cover to access the bulb. Replacewith the appropriate

bulb and then reaffix the cover and screw.

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 the new inlet hoses provided; never use

old hoses.

. 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 screw the female coupling of the short hose onto the washer fill valve connector. Tighten by

hand until firmly seated.

3. Attach the female end of the "Y" connector to the male coupling of the short hose. Ensure the

rubber flat washer is in place. Tighten by hand until firmly seated.

RIGIDMETAL 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-LISTEDFLEXIBLEMETAL(SEMI-RIGID}TRANSITION DUCT

• Ifrigid metal duct cannot be used, then UL-listed

flexible metal (semi-rigid)ducting can be used (Kit WX08X10077).

• Never install flexible metal duct in walls, ceilings, floors or other enclosed spaces.

• Total length of flexible metal duct should not exceed 7'

9"(2.4m).

• For many applications, installing elbows at both

the dryer and the wall ishighly recommended (see

illustrations at right). 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-LISTEDFLEXIBLEMETAL(FaIL-PIPE} TRANSITION DUCT

• In special installations, it may be necessary to connect

the dryer to the house vent using a flexible metal

(foil-type) duct. A UL-listed flexible metal (foil-type)duct may be used ONLY in installations where rigid metal or

flexible metal (semi-rigid) 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 the flexible metal (foil-type) ducts that comply with the "Outline for Clothes Dryer Transition Duct Subject 2158A" shall be

used. Never install flexible metal duct in walls, ceilings, floors

or other enclosed spaces.

Total length of flexible metal duct should not exceed 7'

9"12.4m).

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 clump.

3.With the dryer in its permanent position, extend the duct to itsfull 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 clump.
