Fabric Care Labels; Sorting And Loading Hints - GE GTD81ESPJMC Owner's Manual

About 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
have been approved for use in all GE Dryers when
used in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.

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. 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.

instructions
Dryer Interior and Duct: The interior of the
appliance and exhaust duct should be cleaned once
a year by qualified service personnel.
The Exhaust Duct: Inspect and clean the exhaust
ducting at least once a year by a qualified technician
to prevent clogging. A partially clogged exhaust can
lengthen the drying time.
To clean the duct, follow these steps:
1
Turn off electrical supply by disconnecting the
plug from the wall socket.
2
Disconnect the duct from the dryer.
3
Vacuum the duct with the hose attachment and
reconnect the duct.
The Exhaust 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.
