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.
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 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.
Follow these steps:

1  Turn off electrical supply by disconnecting the 

plug from the wall socket.

2  Disconnect the duct from the dryer.
3  Vacuum 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.

Always follow the fabric manufacturer’s care label when laundering.
