Introduction - GE GFDS350 Technical Service Manual

The two GFDS model dryers incorporate 2 steam
features. The steam cycles are: Steam Refresh and
Steam Derinkle.
These units do not utilize a separate steam generator.
They use a water valve and a steam nozzle that
functions as a "misting" orifi ce.
It works in conjunction with the
heat generated by the dryer to
de-wrinkle clothing.
• Steam Refresh - Freshens up
to fi ve slightly wrinkled dry
garments, reducing wrinkles
and odors to extend for
another wear.
• Steam Dewrinkle - Helps
remove stubborn wrinkles
from larger loads quickly
and conveniently, even from
clothes left in the dryer from
the day before.
A "Y" connector installed on the
washer's cold water inlet hose
supplies water to the water
valve on the rear of the dryer. An
internal hose carries the water to the misting orifi ce.

• Rotary electronic controls - Simplify cycle
selection with easy-to-use rotary dial controls.

temperatures on select cycles without sacrifi cing
