Care and Cleaning of the Dryer.

GEAppliances.com

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.

Pull out the lint filter. Moisten your 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.

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.

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.

Dryer Interior and Duct: 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.

NOTE: The drum lamp is not consumer

replaceable on models where there is a

domed cover over an LED bulb. If this light

should ever stop working, call for service.

For models that have a flat cover over the

bulb secured by a screw:

Before replacing the light bulb, be sure to

unplug the dryer power cord or disconnect

the dryer at the household distribution panel

by removing the fuse or switching off the

circuit breaker. Reach above dryer opening

from inside the drum to locate the light.

Remove the screw and the plastic cover to

access the bulb. Replace with the appropriate

bulb and then reaffix the cover and screw.

Order replacement bulb WE4M305 on-line

at GEApplianceParts.com, by phone at

877.959.8688 during normal business hours,

or purchase appliance bulb 7C7 from your

local retailer.

The drum lamp turns on automatically when

the dryer door is open. On some models, it

can also be activated from the control panel.
