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 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.
Drum Lamp
(consumer replaceable on some models)
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.
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.
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.
