Care and Cleaning of the Dryer Loading and Using the Dryer GEAppliances.com Dryer Interior and Duct: The interior of the appliance and exhaust duct should be cleaned once a year by qualified service personnel. 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. Do not touch the surface or the Touch Screen with sharp objects. The Lint Filter: Clean the lint filter before each use. Remove by pulling straight up. 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 in place. Vacuum the lint from the dryer lint filter area if you notice a change in dryer performance. Stainless Steel: To clean stainless steel surfaces, use a damp cloth with a mild, nonabrasive 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. 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. 17
