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

    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.

E   Settings

    Individual settings for Timed Dry cycle minutes (Time), dryness level (Level), and temperature
    (Temp) can be set from the minimum (lowest in column) to maximum (highest in column). 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

    Dryness Level - Selection only used for Sensor cycles. Timed cycles run for the selected time.

          Extra Dry              Use for heavy-duty fabrics or items that should be very dry, such
                                 as towels.
          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.

F   Options
    Delay Dry
    As the Delay Dry button is repeatedly pressed, the delay time sets from 1 to 9 hours, and
    back to clear (0). After selecting the delay time, press Start and the delay time will count down
    the time remaining until the cycle starts.
    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.

Ignitor Circuit Operation
The glo-bar ignitor circuit is made up of the following components: a gas valve with safety and main valves,
LJQLWRUDQGDÀDPHGHWHFWRU7KHVDIHW\YDOYHLVDFWXDWHGE\DGRXEOHFRLOWKDWFRPSULVHVDVDIHW\FRLO
(resistance approximately 1400 ohms) and a booster coil (resistance approximately 580 ohms). Both coils
are needed to open the safety valve. Once energized, the safety coil alone will hold the valve open. The main
valve has a single coil (resistance approximately 1300 ohms).

When the control system calls for heat, the following circuits are energized:

1. N- through detector, ignitor, outlet control backup, inlet safety thermostats to L1

2. N- through detector, booster coil, outlet control backup, inlet safety thermostats to L1

3. N- through safety coil and outlet control backup, inlet safety thermostats to L1

When the glo-bar is heating, the booster and safety coils are both energized and will open the safety valve.
