I~ORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The
California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires the governor of
California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.
Properly adjusted dryers will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized further by properly venting the dryers to the outdoors.
A
Warning—To
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following: c Use this appliance only for iti intended purpose
as described in this Use and Care Book.
4, c This dryer must be properly
~Q.,~: \ installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions
before it is used. If you did not receive an
Installation Instructions sheet with your dryer, you can obtain one by calling, toll free, the
GE Answer Center”, 800.626.2000.
—Properly ground to conform with all governing codes and ordinances. Follow detiils in hstallation Instructions.
—Locate where the temperature is above 50°F.
(lO°C.) for satisfactory operation of the dryer control system. Do not instill or store the dryer where it will be exposed to the weather.
—Connect to a properly rated, protected
and sized power supply circuit to avoid electrical overload.
—Exhausting to the oubide is STRONGLY
RECOMMENDED to prevent large amounts of moisture and lint from being blown into the room. Carefully follow the Exhausting Details in the Installation Instructions.
●
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing udess specifically recommended in this Use and Care Book or in published user-repair instructions that you undershnd and have the skills to carry out.

(such as wax, paint, gasoline, degreasers, dry-cleaning solvents, kerosene, etc.) which may ignite or explode. Do not add these substances to the wash water. Do not use these substances around your washer antior dryer during operation.
●
Any article on which you have used a cleaning solvent, or which contains flammable materials
(such as cleaning cloths, mops, towels used in beauty salons, restaurants or barber shops, etc.) must not be placed in or near the dryer until all traces of these flammable liquids or solids and their fumes have been removed. There are many highly flammable items used in homes such as: acetone, denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some household cleaners, some spot removers, turpentines, waxes, wax removers and products containing petroleum distillates.
To Minimize the Possibility of Injury
●
Never reach into the dryer while the drum is moving.
Before loading, unloading or adding clothes, wait until the drum has completely stopped.
●
Do not dry fiberglass articles in your dryer.
Skin irritation could result from the remaining glass particles that may be picked up by clothing during subsequent dryer uses.

Dryer-applied Fabric SoReners or
Anti-static Conditioners
You may wish to soften your laundered fabrics or reduce the static electricity in them.
We recommend you use either a fabric softener in the wash cycle, according to the manufacturer’s instructions for those products, or try a dryer-added product for which the manufacturer gives written assurance on the package that their product can be safely used in your dryer.
Service or performance problems caused by the use of these products are the responsibility of the manufacturers of those products and are not covered under tie warranty of this appliance.
SAW TmSE
~STRUCTIONS
●
Sort clothes by weight so you won’t have to run an extra cycle for one or two heavier, slower-drying items.
●
Do not overload your dryer. For efficient drying, clothes need to tumble freely.
●
Use Automatic Cycles whenever possible to help prevent overdying and to save energy.
●
To help prevent ironing, use KnitsiDelicates (Low Heat) or Perm. Press
(Medium Heat). Remove garments promptly at end of drying cycle and place on hangers.
●
Dry your clothes in consecutive loads. Using a “warm” dryer will save energy.
●
Clean the dryer lint filter each time you dry.
●
Clean the dryer exhaust ducting at least once a year. A partially clogged exhaust can lengthen drying time.

“ PLACE ON HANGERS—
Permanent press and polyester knit garments look best if placed on hangers after drying.
The Difference Between Automatic and Timed Drying
Automatic Drying
When using the Automatic Cycles, the
Automatic Dry Control system continually senses the temperature of the air in the dryer drum. Wet laundry keeps the air cool. When laundry is dry enough ( and the drum air warm enough) the heat turns off. When the air cools, the heat turns back on.
This off and on cycling may happen a number of times (depending on the fabric, load size and cycle
Selector setting). The Cycle Selector advances (when the heat is of~ until it automatically turns off dryer.
Timed Drying
When using the Timed Cycles, you select the number of minutes you wish the dryer to run and it turns off at the end of this time period.

Special Instructions
Do not dry non-colorfast items with whites or light-colored items.
Do not overload dryer; clothes should tumble freely. Remove promptly as soon as dryer stops; place clothes on hangers to minimize wrinkling.
Do not overload dryer; clothes should tumble freely. Remove promptly as soon as dryer stops, place clothes on hangers to minimize wrinkling.
Dry silks and wools in your dryer only if recommended by the garment manufacturer. Follow instructions carefully.
—
Tumble drying is mandatory. Down must be thoroughly dried to remove odor and prevent mildewing. Place two large, dry towels in the dryer to improve tumbling and shorten drying time. Be sure to dry thoroughly.
IMPORTANT. If children’s sleepwear is made of Modacrylic, tumble dry only on LowKnits temperature. Normal Heat can damage these fabrics. Check manufacturer’s drying instructions.
See above instructions.
Place in dryer with 3 or 4 dry towels which have been heated for 5 minutes. Set timer for 20 to 25 minutes. Do not set control for more than
25 minutes. Do only one blanket at a time. Remove blanket at end of cycle and block blanket back to original shape. Press binding with warm iron. Allow
to dry before storing.
Use dry towels as buffers. Set timer for 20 minutes. If items are still wet, reset for 15 minutes and check again. Items should be removed while still damp. Place slipcovers on furniture immediately. Hang draperies and curtains so that creases will fall out. Stop dryer periodically and check filter for excess lint. Remove and restart dryer.
Tumble dry on Fluff (No Heat) setting as heat may cause alteration in shape, color and appearance of such articles.
Stop dryer periodically and check filter for excess lint. Remove and restart dryer.
Special precautian.$ must be taken to dry extra-large items. Set dryer for 20 minutes fhen check carefilly. Set 15 minutes for second setting, check again; and 5 minutes for each additional setting. Make sure that article does not fill drum. Many large articles, when wet, have ample room in dryer, but as they dry and fluff
up may
not have room to tumble. Check carefully every few minutes and if article is still wet or damp and fills dryer, finish drying on line. Do not, under any circumstances operate dryer for longer times without checking. CA~ON: If large items do not have room to tumble, the air flow may be blocked which could result in scorching your valuable items. Many large items, like shag rugs, cannot be dried in home size dryers. DO NOT tumble dry jackets containing Kapok. (See filter cleaning instructions above.)
Check ticking for holes or weak seams where feathers or filling could escape. Dry no more than one pillow at a time and set dryer for maximum time. Stop dryer occasionally and shake pillows to redistribute filling for more even drying. Check pillows at end of drying time.
If they are not completely dry, return them to dryer and reset for more drying time. Feather pillows dry very slowly and must be dried completely to prevent mildewing. DO NOT tumble dry pillows containing Kapok.

QUESTIONS?
USE THIS PROBLEM SOLVER
CLOTHES TAKE TOO
LONG TO DRY
SHRINKAGE, GENERAL
POSSIBLE CAUSE
●
Dryer unplugged. Make sure power cord is plugged in.
●
No power to dryer. Check fuses and circuit breakers to make sure dryer is getting current. Most electric dryers use two.
●
Controls improperly set. Make sure controls are set and the Start button is pressed. Opening the door during operation stops the dryer. To resin, close the door and press the Push to Start button.
●
Dryer door is open. Close door securely+er will not run with door open.
. Circuit is overloaded. Do not operate other appliances on tie same electrical outlet or circuit while the dryer is ovrating.
●
Controls improperly set. Check all controls to make sure they are correctly set for the load you want to dry. See the How to Operate Your Dryer section.
●
Clogged lint filter. Remove and clean filter before every load. Periodically clean area under lint filer with vacuum cleaner. See the Care and Cleaning section,
●
Improper ducting. Make sure dryer is ducted in accordance with the
Installation Instructions.
●
Obstruction in exhaust ducting. Make sure ducting is clean and free of obstruction; make sure damper in outside wall cap operates easily. If flexible ducting is used, be sure it is not kinked and is properly installed according to the Installation Instructions.
●
Blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers. Check household fuses or circuit breakers. Most electric dryers use two. It is possible for one to be blown or tripped and the dryer still tumble without heat.
. Improper sorting. Do not mix heavy, hard-to dry items with lightweight articles.
●
Large loads of moisture-holding fabrics, such as beach towels, take a long time to remove moisture.
s Too many items in dryer. Dry only one washer load at a time. Do not combine loads.
●
Too few items in dryer. If drying only one article, add two more similar articles, even if dry, to insure proper tumbling.
●
Some fabrics will shrink whether machine washed and tumble dried or washed by hand and drip dried; others maybe safely washed but will shrink in a dryer. Follow Garment Manufacturers’ Care Labels exactly. If in doubt, do not machine wash or tumble dry.
W~W~G ~
PE~ANENT PRESS
AND “NO-IRON” ITEMS
POSSIBLE CAUSE
●
Relmation shrinkage can
occur in knit fabrics that have been improperly stretched and elongated by the manufacturer. When this occurs, garment may be pressed back into shape after each wash and dry cycle.
●
Progressive or delayed shrinkage is
caused when starch or sizing (in some fabrics) is gradudly removed by laundering. Maybe noticed in older garments that have been laundered many times without previous shrinkage. Treat as for
Relaxation Shrinkage above.
●
Shrinkage caused by overheating occurs in certain knit fabrics that have been heat-shaped. When washing, drying or ironing temperatures exceed the temperatures used to shape set, shrinkage may occur. This cannot be corrected, but it can be prevented by washing in cold or warm water; drying on low heat.
●
Leaving clothes in dryer after tumbling stops. Remove clothes promptly and hang them immediately.
●
Too many items in dryer. Dry only one washer load at a time. Do not combine loads.
●
Too few items in dryer. If drying only one article, add two or more similar ardcles, even if dry, to insure proper tumbling.
●
Improper loads. Avoid laundering heavy Permanent Press items, such as work clothes, with lighter Permanent Press items, such as shirts or blouses. do not wash or dry Permanent Press with regular laundry.
●
Too many clothes in washer. Items must have room to move freely.
Permanent Press loads should always be smaller than regular loads .,.
no more than medium loads.
●
Use of incorrect wash and dry cycles. Use Permanent Press wash cycle which provides a cool-down rinse to minimize wrinkling. Also, use Permanent
Press (Medium) drying cycle.
. Incorrect water level. Use large water level for medium load; medium level or half full for small load.
●
Washing repeatedly in too hot water. Wash in cool or warm water with plenty of detergent.
●
Accumulation of lime scale due to use of carbonate detergents. If you must use a non-phosphate detergent, avoid the use of a high-carbonate detergent.
●
Failure to use fabric softener. Proper use of fabric softener will minimize wrinkling.
