■ 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 water or 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

Dryers MUST be exhausted to the outside to prevent large amounts of moisture and lint from being blown into the room.

Use only rigid metal 4″ diameter ductwork inside the dryer cabinet. Use only rigid metal or flexible metal 4-in diameter ductwork for exhausting to the outdoors. Never use plastic or other combustible, easy-to-puncture ductwork.

For complete details, follow the Installation Instructions.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

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 death.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:

Do not try to light a match, or cigarette, or turn on any gas or electrical appliance.

Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.

Clear the room, building or area of all occupants.

Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions carefully.

If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

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. Installation Instructions are included in the back of this manual.

■Do not store or use gasoline or other

flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

■Installation and service must be

performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.

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 the area around the exhaust opening

and adjacent surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust and dirt.

■ 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.). These substances give off vapors that 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.

■ Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in

your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a clothes load to catch fire.

■ 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

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: Pressing START/PAUSE or POWER does NOT disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

Troubleshooting Tips

Using the dryer.

Care and Cleaning of the Dryer

Dryer Interior and Duct: The interior of the appliance and exhaust duct should be cleaned once a year by qualified service personnel.

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.

Do not touch the surface or the display with sharp objects.

The 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. Do not operate the dryer without the lint filter in place.

Vacuum the lint from the dryer lint filter 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 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 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.

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.

Always follow 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. 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.

See below for lint filter cleaning instructions. 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.

EXHAUSTING THE DRYER

WARNING – To reduce the

risk of fire or personal injury:

• This dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors.

• Use only metal duct.

• Do not terminate exhaust into a chimney, any

gas vent, under an enclosed floor, in a crawl space, wall, ceiling, into an attic or other concealed space of a building. The accumulated lint could create a fire hazard.

• Provide an access for inspection and cleaning of the exhaust system, especially at turns. Inspect and clean at least once a year.

• Never terminate the exhaust into a common duct with a kitchen exhaust. A combination of lint and grease could create a fire hazard.

• Do not obstruct incoming or exhausted air.

• This dryer comes ready for rear exhausting.

If space is limited, use the instructions on pages 28–31 to exhaust directly from the sides or bottom of the cabinet.

TOOLS AND MATERIALS YOU WILL NEED TO INSTALL EXHAUST DUCT

❒Phillips-head screwdriver

❒Duct tape or duct clamp

❒Rigid or UL-listed flexible

metal 4″ (10.2 cm) duct

❒Vent hood

❒Drill with 1/8″ drill bit

(for bottom venting)

❒Hacksaw

EXHAUST SYSTEM CHECKLIST

HOOD OR WALL CAP

• Terminate in a manner to prevent back drafts or

entry of birds or other wildlife.

• Termination should present minimal resistance to

the exhaust airflow and should require little or no maintenance to prevent clogging.

• Never install a screen in or over the exhaust duct.

• Wall caps must be installed at least 12″ above

ground level or any other obstruction with the opening pointed down.

• If roof vents or louvered plenums are used, they

must be equivalent to a 4″ dampened wall cap in regard to resistance to airflow, prevention of back drafts and maintenance required to prevent clogging.

SEPARATION OF TURNS

• For best performance, separate all turns by

at least 4 ft. of straight duct, including distance between last turn and dampened wall cap. For turns less than 4 ft. apart, see the Ducting Component Equivalency Chart.

SEALING OF JOINTS

• All joints should be tight to avoid leaks. The male

end of each section of duct must point away from the dryer.

• Do not assemble the ductwork with fasteners

that extend into the duct. They will serve as a collection point for lint.

• Duct joints should be made air- and

moisture-tight by wrapping the overlapped joints with duct tape or aluminum tape.

• Horizontal runs should slope down towards

outdoors 1/4″ per foot.

INSULATION

• Ductwork that runs through an unheated area

or is near air conditioning should be insulated to reduce condensation and lint buildup.

Installation Instructions

USING FLEXIBLE METAL DUCT FOR TRANSITION VENTING

Rigid or semi-rigid metal ducting is recommended for use as transition ducting between the dryer and the wall. In special installations when it is impossible to make a connection with the above recommendations, then a UL-listed flexible metal transition duct may be used between the dryer and wall connection only. The use of this ducting will affect dry time. Only those foil-type flexible ducts, if any, specifically identified for use with the appliance by the manufacturer should be used. In the United States, the duct must comply with the Outline for Clothes Dryer Transition Duct, Subject 2158A.

If flexible metal transition duct is necessary, the following directions must be followed:

• Use the shortest length possible.

• Stretch the duct to its maximum length.

• Do not crush or collapse.

• Never use flexible metal ducting inside the wall

or inside the dryer.

• Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.

• Venting must conform to local building codes.

FOR TRANSITION VENTING (DRYER TO WALL), DO:

•DO cut duct

as short as possible and install straight into wall.

•DO use elbows

when turns are necessary.

DO NOT:

•DO NOT bend or

collapse ducting. Use elbows if turns are necessary.

•DO NOT use

excessive exhaust length. Cut duct as short as possible.

•DO NOT crush

duct against the wall.

•DO NOT set

dryer on duct.

Installation Instructions

WARNING

USE ONLY METAL DUCT 4″ DIAMETER (102 mm FOR CANADA). DO NOT USE DUCT LONGER THAN SPECIFIED IN THE EXHAUST LENGTH TABLE.

Ducting longer than 150 equivalent feet will:

• Increase the drying times and the energy cost.

• Reduce the dryer life.

• Accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard.

• Total length of flexible metal duct should not

exceed 7.9′ (2.4 m).

EXAMPLE ONLY

The following chart describes an example of one possible ductwork installation.

The correct exhaust installation is your responsibility.

Problems due to incorrect installation are not covered by the warranty.

The length of the exhaust system depends upon the type of duct, number of turns and the type of exhaust hood (wall cap), and all conditions noted below. Both rigid and flexible metal ducts are shown in the table.

For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length should not exceed 150 equivalent feet.
