Sorting andLoadingHints
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 all
GE Dryers when used in accordance with the
manufacturer’s 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.
Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care label when laundering.
