Loading and using the dryer.
Always follow the fabric manufacturer’s care label when laundering.
Sorting and Loading Hints
As a general rule, if clothes are sorted properly for the washer, they are sorted properly for the dryer.
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.
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 build-up may form on
the lint filter from using dryer-added fabric softener
sheets.
To remove this build-up, wash the lint screen
in warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly and replace.
Do not operate the dryer without the lint filter in
place.
Have a qualified technician vacuum the lint from
the dryer once a year.
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:
Turn off electrical supply by disconnecting the
plug from the wall socket.
Disconnect the duct from the dryer.
Vacuum the duct with the hose attachment and
reconnect the duct.
The Exhaust Hood:
Check with a mirror that the inside
flaps of the hood move freely when operating. Make
sure that there is not wildlife (birds, insects, etc.)
nesting inside the duct or hood.
