WARNING!

YOURLAUNDRYAREA

nKeep the area underneath and around your appliances free of combustible materials, (lint, paper, rags, etc.), gasoline, chemicals and other flammable vapors and liquids.

nKeep the floor around your appliances clean and dry to reduce the possibility of slipping.

nClose 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.

nKeep the area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust and dirt.

nKeep 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.

nNever climb on or stand on the dryer top.

WHENUSINGYOURDRYER

nNever reach into the dryer while the drum is moving. Before loading, unloading or adding clothes, wait until the drum has completely stopped.

nClean 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.

nDo 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.

nDo 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.

nAny 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.

nThe laundry process can reduce the flame retardancy of fabrics. To avoid such a result, carefully follow the garment manufacturer’s care instructions.

nDo 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.

nDo not store plastic, paper or clothing that may burn or melt on top of the dryer during operation.

nGarments labeled DryAwayfromHeator DoNot TumbleDry(such as life jackets containing Kapok) must not be put in your dryer.

nDo 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.

nTo 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 disconnecttheappliancefromthepower supply.

nIf you see water on the floor around the dryer, call for service.

PFMS455, PFMS450, PFDN445, PFDN440, PFDS450 specifications

The GE PFMN440, PFMN445, PFDS455, PFDS450, and PFDN440 are part of GE’s innovative family of radio frequency (RF) power transistors designed for various commercial and industrial applications. These devices are renowned for their efficient performance, providing a blend of high power output and reliability, ideal for telecommunications, broadcasting, and other RF applications.

The GE PFMN440 and PFMN445 are members of the RF transistor family that offer robust performance in high-frequency applications. The PFMN440 is particularly noted for its outstanding linearity and power gain, which makes it suitable for use in RF amplifiers and transmitters. Its compact package and advanced thermal management design enable efficient heat dissipation, which is critical in maintaining performance under load. The PFMN445, with a higher power rating, amplifies these characteristics, supporting greater output levels while maintaining linearity, resulting in clearer signal output.

The PFDS455 and PFDS450, on the other hand, are optimized for industrial applications with features that emphasize durability and efficiency. The PFDS455 stands out for its ability to handle higher voltages and currents, making it an excellent choice for applications that require resilience against overloads. The device's superior thermal stability ensures that it performs consistently across a range of operational environments. The PFDS450 shares many of these attributes but is tailored for applications requiring a slightly lower output, making it versatile for different RF circuit designs.

The PFDN440 is designed with specialized technologies that enhance its functionality in digital and mixed-signal environments. It integrates advanced semiconductor materials which reduce power consumption and improve efficiency without compromising performance. This device is particularly useful in applications that demand high-speed operation and reliability, making it a preferred choice for modern communication systems.

All these transistors utilize state-of-the-art manufacturing processes, including advanced doping techniques and epitaxial growth, which contribute to their excellent electrical characteristics. Their high thermal conductivity, high breakdown voltage, and wide frequency response range make these devices suitable for both commercial and specialized applications.

Overall, GE's PFMN440, PFMN445, PFDS455, PFDS450, and PFDN440 transistors are emblematic of modern RF technology, combining power, efficiency, and reliability to cater to a wide spectrum of RF applications.
