Thisact requiresthe governor of Californiato publisha list of substancesknown to the state to cause cancer,birth defects or other
reproductive harm and requires businessesto warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gasappliances can cause minor exposure to four ofthese substances, namely benzene,carbon monoxide,formaldehyde and
soot,caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LPfuels.
Properlyadjusted dryers will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposureto these substances can be minimized further by properly
venting the dryer to the outdoors.

About the dryer features.
Sensor Dry This feature is activated in all but the Timed
(Timed Dry &Quick Fluff) and Steam (Steam
Refresh &Steam Dewrinkle) cycles.
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.
Pleaseallow several weeks for the dryer to
customize itself to "you".
Time Dry This feature is activated in Timed Dry & Quick
Fluff cycles. Thetime (10,20, 30,40.... 80, 90,
99) isspecified via the Time button.
Steam Cycle This feature is activated in Steam Refresh &
Steam Dewrinkle cycles. Use STEAMselectto
indicate the number articles.

A handy drying rack may be used for drying
delicate items such as washable sweaters.
Hook the rack over the lint filter so the rack
extends into the dryer drum.
NOTE:
• The drying rack must be used with the
Timed Cycle.
• Do not use this drying rack when there are
other clothes in the dryer.
To use the drying rack:
F1] Insert the drying rack into the dryer

About loading and using the dryer. GEAppliances.com
Always follow the fabric manufacturer's care label when laundering.
Sorting and Loading Hints
As a general rule, if clothes ore sorted properly for
the washer, they ore sorted properly for the dryer. Do not overload. This wastes energy and causes wrinkling.
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 GEDryers when
used in accordance with the manufacturer's
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
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. Runyour 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,
usea damp cloth with amild, non-abrasive cleaner
suitable for stainless steel surfaces. Removethe
cleaner residue, and then dry with a clean cloth.
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.
Toclean the duct, follow these steps:
I_ Turn off electrical supply by disconnecting the
plug from the wall socket.
I--_ Disconnect the duct from the dryer.
I--_Vacuum the duct with the hose attachment and
reconnect the duct.
TheExhaust 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.

About Appliance Communication.

About venting the dryer.
Forthe best drying performance, the dryer needs to be properly vented. The dryer will use more
energy and run longer if it is not vented to the below specifications. Carefully follow the
details on Exhausting in the Installation Instructions.
• Use only rigid metal 4" diameter ductwork inside the dryer cabinet. Use only rigid metal or
ULlisted flexible metal 4" diameter ductwork for exhausting to the outside. Minimize flexible
