Care and Cleaning of the Dryer.
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. Slide out the grid that covers the filter. 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 and grid in place.
Have a qualified technician vacuum the lint from the dryer once a year.
The Exhaust Duct: /nspect 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 the plug from the wall socket.
- Disconnect the duct from the dryer.
- acuum the duct with the hose attachment and reconnect the duct.
The Exhaust Hood: Check with a mirror that the inside flaps of the hood move freely when operating. Make sure that there is no wildlife (birds, insects, etc.) nesting inside the duct or hood.
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® Fabric Conditioner Dryer Sheets have been approved for use in all GE Dryers when used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
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.
Fabric Care Labels
About venting the dryer.
For the best drying performance, the dryer needs to be properly vented. The dryer will use more energy and run longer if it is not vented to the below specifications. Carefully follow the details on Exhausting in the Installation Instructions.
- Use only rigid metal or flexible metal 4 diameter ductwork inside the dryer cabinet or for exhausting to the outside.
- Do not use plastic or other combustible ductwork.
- Use the shortest length possible.
- Do not crush or collapse.
- Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.
- Venting must conform to local building codes.
