About the dryer features, ge.com
Dryness
Sensor Cycle
Dryness Sensor Cujcle (on some models)
This feature is only activated in the
COTTONS,EASYCAREand DELICATES
cucles.
The Dryness Sensor 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.
Drum Lamp
Before replacing the light bulb, be sure to
unplug the dryer power cord or disconnect
the dryer at the household distribution panel
by removing the fuse or switching off the
circuit breaker. Reach above dryer opening
from inside the drum. Removethe bulb and
replace with the same size bulb.
Drying Rack tonsomemodels)
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 drging rack when there
are other clothes in the drger.
Stainless Steel Drum tonsomemodels)
Thestainlesssteel usedto make the
dryer drum providesthe highest reliability
available in a GEdryer. If the dryer drum
should be scratched or dented during normal
use,the drum will not rust or corrode.These
surface blemisheswill not affect the function
or durability of the drum.

About reversing the door.
Reversing the Door
Tools needed:
•Stondord #2
Phillips screwdriver • Tope-tipped puttg knife
I-_ Open the door and remove the filler plugs opposite the hinges. With the door
completely open, remove the bottom screw from each hinge on the dryer face.
Insert these screws about half way into the TOPholes, for each hinge, on the
opposite side (where you removed the filler plugs). Apply firm pressure to get
the screw started in new holes.
I-_ Loosen top screw from each hinge on the dryer face half way. With one hand
holding the top of the door and the other hand holding the bottom, remove

About loading and using the dryer.
Always follow the fabric manufacturer's care label when laundering.
ge.com
Sortingand Loading Hints
As a general rule, if clothes are sorted properly for
the washer, they are 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 Oryer Sheets
have been approved for use in all GEDryers when
used in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
Do not dry the following items: fiberglass items,
woolens, rubber-coated items, plastics, items with
plastic trim and foam-filled items.
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.
Care and Cleaning of the Or_ter
Stainless Steel: To clean stainless steel surfaces,
use a damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
suitable for stainless steel surfaces. Removethe
cleaner residue, and then dry with a clean cloth.
The Lint Filter: Clean the lint filter before each
use. Moisten your fingers and reach into the filter
opening. Run your fingers across the filter. Have a
qualified technician vacuum the lint from the dryer
once ayear.
J
The Exhaust Duct: Inspect and clean the exhaust
ducting at least once a gear to prevent clogging.
A partially clogged exhaust can lengthen the
drying time.
Follow these steps:
r_ Turn off electrical supply by disconnecting
the plug from the wall socket.
r_ Disconnect the duct from the dryer.
[_] Vacuum the duct with the hose attachment
and reconnect the duct.
The Exhaust Hood: Checkfrom the outside that
the flaps of the hood move freely when operating.
Hake sure that there is not wildlife (birds, insects,
etc.)nesting inside the duct or hood.

will use more energu and run longer if it is not vented to the below specifications.
Carefullu 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 flexible metal 4" diGmeter ductwork for exhausting to the outside.
• Do not use plastic or other combustible ductwork.
• Use the shortest length possible.
• Do not crush or collapse.
• Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.
