Sorting and Loading Hints
As a general rule, if clothes are sorted properly
for the washer, they are sorted properly for the
dryer. Try also to sort items according to size.
For example, do not dry a sheet with socks or
other small items.
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.
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.
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.

rubber-coated items, plastics, items with plastic trim and
foam-filled items.
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 the
flaps of the hood move freely when operating. Make
sure that there is no wildlife (birds, insects, etc.)
nesting inside the duct or hood.
