Dryer Interior and Duct: The interior of the
appliance and exhaust duct should be cleaned
once a year by qualified service personnel.
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.
Do not touch the surface or the Touch Screen
with sharp objects.
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, nonabrasive
cleaner suitable for stainless steel surfaces.
Remove the cleaner residue, and then dry with
a clean cloth.
The stainless steel used to make the dryer drum
provides the highest reliability available in a GE
dryer. If the dryer drum should be scratched
or dented during normal use, the drum will not
rust or corrode. These surface blemishes will not
affect the function or durability of the drum.
The Exhaust Hood: Check with a mirror that
the inside flaps of the hood move freely when
operating. Make sure that there is no wildlife
(birds, insects, etc.) nesting inside the duct
or hood.
