Sensor Dry Time Dry This feature activated in all but the Timed (Timed Dry & Quick Fluff) and Steam (Steam Refresh & Steam Dewrinkle) cycles. The Sensor Dry provides greater drying accuracy than standard machines, resulting in shorter dry times and better clothes care. As the clothes tumble, they touch a moisture sensor. The sensor will stop the heating cycle as soon as the clothes have reached the selected dryness. This dryer will adjust the initial estimated drying time of the sensor dry cycles as it "learns" its installation and usage profile. Please allow several weeks for the dryer to customize itself to "you". This feature is activated in Timed Dry & Quick Fluff cycles. The time (10, 20, 30, 40, . . . 80, 90, 99) is specified via the Time button. Stainless Steel Drum 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. Drum Light The drum light is an LED light. Replacement must be done by a qualified technician. 7
