Important Safety Information

California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act

This 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 dryer to the outdoors.

Read all safety information before using

Important Safety Information

Warning

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons

when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including

the following sections.

Safety Precautions

•Use this appliance only for its

intended purpose as described

in this Owner’s Manual.

•This dryer must be properly

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 details in

Installation Instructions.

—Install or store where the tempera-

ture is above 50°F. (10°C.). Do

not install 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.

—Gas dryers MUST be exhausted

to the outside. Carefully follow

the Exhausting details in the

Installation Instructions.

— Exhausting electric dryers to

the outside 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 unless

specifically recommended in this

Owner’s Manual or in published

user-repair instructions that you

understand and have the skills

to carry out.

•When disconnecting this

appliance pull by the plug rather

than the cord to avoid damage to

the cord or junction of cord and

plug. Make sure that the cord

is located so that it will not be

stepped on, tripped over or

otherwise subjected to damage

or stress.

Read all safety information before using

•Exhaust Duct—See Installation

Instructions. Use only rigid metal

or flexible metal 4″diameter

ductwork inside the dryer cabinet

or for exhausting to the outside.

USE OF PLASTIC OR OTHER

COMBUSTIBLE DUCTWORK

CAN CAUSE A FIRE.

PUNCTURED DUCTWORK

CAN CAUSE A FIRE IF IT COL-

LAPSES OR BECOMES OTHER-

WISE RESTRICTED IN USE OR

DURING INSTALLATION.

•Do not dry articles containing

rubber, plastic, or similar

materials (such as padded bras,

tennis shoes, galoshes, bath

mats, rugs, bibs, baby pants,

plastic bags, pillows, etc.) as

these materials may melt or

burn. Also, some rubber

materials, when heated, can

under certain circumstances

produce fire by spontaneous

combustion.

•Do not store items that may

burn or melt (such as clothing,

paper material, plastics or

plastic containers, etc.) on top

of the dryer during operation.

•Garments labeled “Dry Away

from Heat” or “Do Not Tumble

Dry” (such as life jackets contain-

ing Kapok) must not be put in

your dryer.

•Do not wash or dry articles that

have been cleaned in, washed

in, soaked in, or spotted with

combustible or explosive

substances (such as wax, paint,

oil, 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

and/or 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.

Important Safety Information

•Clean the lint filter before each

load to prevent lint accumulation

inside the dryer or in the room.

DO NOT OPERATE THE

DRYER WITHOUT THE LINT

FILTER IN PLACE.

•Keep the area around and

underneath your appliances

free from the accumulation

of combustible materials,

such as lint, paper, rags,

chemicals, etc.

•Regularly inspect the exhaust

duct to be sure it has not been

crushed or otherwise restricted.

•The interior of the machine

and the exhaust duct

connection inside the dryer

should be cleaned periodically

by a qualified individual.

•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 subse-

quent dryer uses.

•The laundry process can

reduce the flame retardancy

of fabrics. To avoid such a

result, the garment manufacturer’s

care instructions should be

followed very carefully.

•Close supervision is necessary

if this appliance is used by or

near children. Do not allow

children to play inside, on,

or with this appliance or any

discarded appliance. Dispose

of discarded appliances and

shipping or packing materials

properly. Before discarding a

dryer, or removing from service,

remove the door of the dryer

compartment.

•Keep all laundry aids (such

as detergents, bleaches, fabric

softeners, etc.) out of the reach

of children, preferably in a

locked cabinet. Observe all

warnings on container labels

to avoid personal injury.

•Keep the floor around your

appliances clean and dry to

reduce the possibility of slipping.

•To minimize the possibility

of electric shock, unplug this

appliance from the power supply

or disconnect the dryer at the

household distribution panel by

removing the fuse or switching

off the circuit breaker before

attempting any maintenance or

cleaning (except the removal and

cleaning of the lint filter).

•NOTE: Turning the Cycle

Selector knob to an OFF

position does NOT

disconnect the appliance

from the power supply.

Read all safety information before using

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

•Do not tamper with the controls.

•Do not operate this appliance

if it is damaged, malfunctioning,

partially disassembled, or

has missing or broken parts,

including a damaged cord

or plug.

•Never climb on or stand on the

dryer top.

•DO NOT place items exposed to

cooking oils in your dryer. Items

contaminated with cooking oils

may contribute to a chemical

reaction that could cause a

clothes load to catch fire.

•If yours is a gas dryer, it is

equipped with an automatic

electric ignition and does not

have a pilot light. DO NOT

ATTEMPT TO LIGHT WITH

A MATCH. Burns may result

from having your hand in the

vicinity of the burner when the

automatic ignition may turn on.

•You may wish to soften your

laundered fabrics or reduce

the static electricity in them

by using dryer-applied fabric

softeners or an anti-static

conditioner. 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 prob-

lems caused by the use of these

products are the responsibility

of the manufacturers of those

products and are not covered

under the warranty of this

appliance.

Clean the lint filter each time you use the dryer.

CAUTION:

Do not operate the dryer without the lint filter

in place.

Always follow Fabric Manufacturer’s Care Label

Specialty Care Guide

Pillows Mend any holes or weak seams where feather or filling could

escape.

Dry only one pillow at a time

. Stop dryer occasionally and

shake pillow, redistributing filling for even drying. Check pillow

at the end of drying time. If it is not completely dry, reset dryer

for more drying time.

Dry on low heat only.

CAUTION:

Do not dry pillows containing foam rubber.

Blankets

Add 2–4 dry towels and one blanket

and set timer for 20–25 minutes.

Dry only one blanket at a time. Do not set control for more than 25

minutes. At the end of drying cycle block the blanket back

to its

original shape. Allow blanket to dry thoroughly before storing.

Cotton Use a medium heat drying setting.

Synthetic Use a low heat drying setting.

Down Use a low heat drying setting.

Extra Large Items Use a low heat drying setting.

Set dryer for 20 minutes. When time is up, check and redistribute

load. Reset dryer for 15 minutes. When time is up, check and

redistribute load. Reset

timer for 5 minute intervals. Check after

each 5 minutes to ensure

articles do not fill dryer drum. Large, wet

articles should have ample room in the dryer, but as they dry and

fluff up they may not have room to tumble.

CAUTION:

Items without

room to tumble may block air flow and

could result in scorched items.

Dry mattress pads separately.

Use

a low heat drying setting.
