Introduction GE CleanSpeak™ Dryer Features GE CleanSpeak™ model dryers incorporate two steam features. These dryers do not utilize a separate steam JHQHUDWRU,QVWHDGWKHGU\HUVXVHDZDWHUYDOYHDQGDVWHDPQR]]OHWKDWIXQFWLRQVDVD´PLVWLQJµRUL¿FH which works in conjunction with the heat generated by the dryer to de-wrinkle clothing. • Steam Refresh: Rejuvenate lightly worn clothes by getting rid of wrinkles and odors with this convenient setting using the power of steam. • Steam Dewrinkle: Stored or wrinkled clothes come out ready to wear with this helpful setting that uses steam to refresh and dry a load of any size. • CleanSpeak™ Communication System: Perfect drying performance is achievable thanks to the ability of the washer to communicate with the dryer to preset the dry cycle. • Wi-Fi Connect: Check dryer progress from your smartphone with an app that lets you monitor cycles, settings, extended tumble time and receive alerts when clothes haven't been removed. • Connected Home Ready • 14 Dryer Cycles2ȺHUHQKDQFHGGU\LQJSHUIRUPDQFHDQGIDEULFFDUH • (QHUJ\6WDU4XDOL¿HG0HHWVRUH[FHHGVIHGHUDOJXLGHOLQHVIRUHQHUJ\HȻFLHQF\IRU\HDUURXQGHQHUJ\ and money savings. • HE SensorDry™: Allows the control to monitor the fabric for moisture content and end the cycle at the desired moisture level. • My Settings: Selection saves a favorite cycle for future use. • Cycle Countdown Display with LED Indicators: Know exactly how much time is left for each cycle with bright display and lights. • Large 7.8 cubic foot dryer drum capacities. • Integrated drying rack for drying delicate items, such as washable sweaters. • Dual Thermistors: Thermistors are more sensitive to temperature changes and can relay the information faster than thermostats. The dryer utilizes dual thermistors to monitor incoming air temperature, as well as air temperature leaving the drum. The sensors work together with the heat and the blower to provide consistent, even heat. • LED Drum Lamp • Reversible Door • Long Vent Models: Separate blower motor for long vent applications. • Built-in Service Test Mode6SHFL¿FGU\HUFRPSRQHQWVFDQ be operated.

In general, the higher up the column, the more energy will be used. Time - Selection only for Timed cycles. Each “setting” allows you to specify a lower (1 tap) or an upper (2 taps) time working your way from a minimum 10 minute to a maximum 99 minute dry time (10, 20, 30, 40, . . . 80, 90, 99, 10 . . .)

More Dry Use for heavy-duty or mixed type fabrics. Dry Use for a normal dryness level suitable for most loads. This is the preferred cycle for energy savings. Less Dry Use for lighter fabrics. Damp For leaving items partially damp. (Continued Next Page) –9–
E Temperature High For regular to heavy cottons. NOTE: Steam Dewrinkle and Steam Refresh require the High temperature setting.

If the Delay Dry button is pressed for 3 seconds, it clears (regardless of the delay time) or terminates a delaying cycle. Extended Tumble Use this option to minimize the wrinkles in clothes. It provides 1 hour of no-heat tumbling after the clothes are dry. If you are using the cycle Volume and you select the Extended Tumble option, a signal will sound at the end of the drying time and every 5 minutes during the Extended Tumble cycle. This will remind you that it is time to remove the clothes. Damp Alert This option causes the dryer to beep when clothes have dried to a damp level. Remove items that you wish to hang dry. The Damp Alert will only beep when this option is selected (but the dry cycle will keep running). Removing clothes and hanging them when they are damp can reduce the need to iron some items. The light beside the button will be lit when Damp Alert is on.
