Dry Cycles

The dry cycle controls the cycle time for the drying process. The chart below will help you match the dry setting with the loads.

2 Sensor Cycles

COTTONS For cottons and most linens.

NORMAL/ For loads consisting of cottons and poly-blends.

MIXED LOAD

WRINKLE FREE For wrinkle-free/easy care and permanent press items.

ACTIVE WEAR Clothing worn for active sports exercise and some casual wear. Fabrics include new technology finishes and stretch fibers such as Spandex.

DELICATES For lingerie and special-care fabrics.

SPEED DRY For small loads that are needed in a hurry, such as sports or school uniforms. Can also be used if the previous cycle left some items damp, such as collars or waistbands.

Timed Dry Cycles

STEAM

For slightly wrinkled dry garments. Significantly reduces wrinkles on 1–5 garments.

REFRESH

Selecting a higher number of garments for the cycle (e.g., selecting 5-garment load for a 1-garment load) may result in excessive wetting

(on some models)

of clothes. After the STEAM REFRESH Cycle, the unit will beep and display “Garments Ready” and “0:00.” If the unit is not turned off or if the

 

door is not opened, the dryer will continue to tumble for 30 minutes. At the end of 30 minutes, it will display “0:00” and “Cycle Complete.”

 

NOTE: When STEAM REFRESH is selected, “EXTENDED TUMBLE” will automatically turn on and cannot be turned off.

 

A single extremely light fabric item may need to have an additional item included in the steam refresh cycle to achieve optimum results.

 

 

DEWRINKLE

For removing wrinkles from items that are dry or slightly damp. This cycle is not reccomended for delicate

(on some models)

fabrics.

 

 

STEAM

For use with larger loads than STEAM REFRESH. Ideal for loads left in dryer for an extended

DEWRINKLE

time. Selecting a larger cycle than needed (e.g., selecting Large Load for a half-full dryer)

(on some models)

may result in excessive wetting of clothes.

 

 

WARM UP

Provides 10 minutes of warming time to warm up clothes.

 

 

My Cycle (on some models)

MY CYCLE Press to use, create or modify custom dry cycles.

3 Timed Dry

Use to set your own dry time. TIMED DRY is also recommended for small loads.

To use TIMED DRY:

1.Turn dry cycle dial to TIMED DRY.

2.Select the drying time by pressing the S and T buttons. You can increase the time in 10-minute increments up to 2 hours, 5 minutes.

3.Select the DRY TEMP.

4.Close the door.

5.Press START/PAUSE.

4 Sensor Dry

The sensor continuously monitors the amount of moisture in the load. When the moisture in your clothes reaches your selected dry level, the dryer will stop.

EXTRA DRY Use for heavy-duty fabrics or items that should be very dry, such as towels.

MORE DRY Use for heavy or mixed type of fabrics.

DRY Use for normal dryness level suitable for most loads. This is the preferred cycle for energy saving.

LESS DRY Use for lighter fabric (ideal for ironing).

DAMP For leaving items partially damp.

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.
