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. 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 a year.

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.
Stainless Steel: To clean stainless steel surfaces,
use a damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive
cleaner suitable for stainless steel surfaces.
Remove the cleaner residue, and then dry
with a clean cloth.
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
1
the plug from the wall socket.
Disconnect the duct from the dryer.
2
Vacuum the duct with the hose attachment
3
and reconnect the duct.
The Exhaust Hood: Check from the outside that

Make sure that there is not wildlife (birds, insects,
etc.) nesting inside the duct or hood.
