Using the dryer.

Safety Instructions

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.

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.

 

Open the filter and run your fingers across

 

the filter. A waxy buildup may form on the

 

lint filter from using dryer-added fabric

10

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.
