Extended Tumble
Use this option to minimize the wrinkles in clothes. It provides 1 hour of no-heat tumbling after the clothes are dry. If you are
using the cycle Signal Adjust or Volume and you select the Extended Tumble option, a signal will sound at the end of the
drying time and several times during the Extended Tumble cycle. This will remind you that it is time to remove the clothes.
Damp Alert
This option causes the dryer to beep when clothes have dried to a damp level. Remove items that you wish to hang dry. The
Damp Alert will only beep when this option is selected (but the dry cycle will keep running). Removing clothes and hanging them
when they are damp, can reduce the need to iron some items. The light beside the button will be lit when Damp Alert is on.

Signal Adjust or Volume (depending on model)
Use the Signal Adjust or Volume button to change the volume of the button presses and the end of cycle signal. Press
the button until you reach the desired volume or off. The clothes should be removed when the end of cycle signal goes
off so wrinkles do not set in.
NOTE:
• Remove garments promptly at the sound of signal. Place clothes on hangers so wrinkles will not set in.
• Use the Signal Adjust or Volume especially when drying fabrics like polyester, knits and permanent press. These
fabrics should be removed so wrinkles will not set in.

Delay Dry for WiFi Connected Dryers
For more information see the Appliance Communication section.
You have two options to set Delay Dry using your smartphone:
Option 1: Follow Delay Dry instructions. You can use the GE Appliances Laundry App to adjust the amount of time via
your smartphone.
Option 2: Set your dryer to “AP” using the Delay Dry button. This allows you to use the GE Appliances Laundry App
via your smartphone to start your dryer remotely at the time of your choosing. If the dryer is set to AP with no activity,
it will start the dryer 24 hours later.

Sensor Dry
Sensor Dry
This feature is active in all cycles except
Timed Dry, Warm Up and Air Fluff.
The Sensor Dry provides greater drying
accuracy than standard machines, resulting
in shorter dry times and better clothes
care. As the clothes tumble, they touch a
moisture sensor. The sensor will stop the
heating cycle as soon as the clothes have
reached the selected dryness.
This dryer will adjust the initial estimated
drying time of the sensor dry cycles as it
“learns” its installation and usage profile.
Please allow several weeks for the dryer to
customize itself to “you”.
Drying Rack (on some models)
A handy drying rack may be used for drying If your model did not come with a drying rack,

Dry Labels
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.
Do not overload. This wastes energy and causes wrinkling.
Sorting and Loading Hints
Always follow the fabric manufacturer’s care label when laundering.
WARNING WARNING
Explosion Hazard Fire Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline,
away from dryer.
DO NOT dry anything that has ever had anything flammable
on it (even after washing).
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
No washer can completely remove oil.
Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on it
(including cooking oils).
Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried on a
clothesline or by using an air dry cycle.

Care and Cleaning of the Dryer.
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.
The Lint Filter: Clean the lint filter before each use.
Remove by pulling straight up. Run your fingers
across the filter. A waxy buildup may form on the
lint filter from using dryer added fabric 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 area if you
notice a change in dryer performance.
Stainless Steel: To clean stainless steel surfaces,
use a damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
suitable for stainless steel surfaces. Remove the
cleaner residue, and then dry with a clean cloth.
Dryer Interior and Duct:The interior of the appliance
and exhaust duct should be cleaned once a year by
qualified service personnel.
The Exhaust Duct: Inspect and clean the exhaust
ducting at least once a year to prevent clogging.
A partially clogged exhaust can lengthen the
drying time.
Follow these steps:
1Turn off electrical supply by disconnecting
the plug from the wall socket.
2Disconnect the duct from the dryer.
3Vacuum the duct with the hose attachment
and reconnect the duct.
The Exhaust Hood: Check from the outside that
the flaps of the hood move freely when operating.
Make sure that there is not wildlife (birds, insects,
etc.) nesting inside the duct or hood.
