READ THIS MANUAL

Inside you will find many helpful hints on how to use and maintain your dryer properly. Just a little preventive care on your part can save you a great deal of time and money over the life of your dryer.

PROPER VENTING

For the best drying performance the dryer needs to be properly vented. The dryer will use more energy and run longer if it is not vented to the specifications outlined in the Venting the Dryer section in this manual and the Exhausting section in the Installation Instructions.

IF YOU NEED SERVICE

You’ll find many answers to common problems in the Before You Call For Service section. If you review our chart of Troubleshooting Tips first, you may not need to call for service at all.

If you do need service, you can relax knowing help is only a phone call away. A list of toll-free customer service numbers is included in the back section. Or, in the U.S., you can always call the GE Answer Center® at 800.626.2000, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In Canada, call 1-800-361-3400.
