Care and Cleaning
The interior of the appliance and exhaust duct should be cleaned once a year by qualified service
personnel.
• 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.
• 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.
Wipe or dust any spills or washing compounds with a damp cloth. The 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 the dryer caused
by these products is not covered by the warranty.
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 stainless steel used to make the dryer drum provides the highest reliability available in a GE
Appliances dryer. If the dryer drum should be scratched or dented during normal use, the drum will not
rust or corrode. These surface blemishes will not affect the function or durability of the drum.
Clean the lint filter before each use.
Pull out the lint filter. Moisten fingers and remove the captured
lint. Once clean, slide the filter back into position. Have a qualified
technician vacuum the lint from the dryer once a year.
NEVER OPERATE THE DRYER WITHOUT ITS FILTER IN PLACE.
