▲WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or death.

■Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

■Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:

Do not try to light a match, or cigarette, or turn on any gas or electrical appliance.
2 Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.
3 Clear the room, building or area of all occupants.

California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act

This act requires the governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.

Properly adjusted dryers will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized further by properly venting the dryer to the outdoors.

GE UPGT650EHMG - California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act - 1

PROPER INSTALLATION

This dryer must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used. If you did not receive an Installation Instructions sheet, you can receive one by visiting ge.com, or by calling 800.GE.CARES (800.432.2737).

■Properly ground dryer to conform with all governing codes and ordinances. Follow details in Installation Instructions.
■Install or store where it will not be exposed to temperatures below freezing or exposed to the weather.
■Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized power supply circuit to avoid electrical overload.
■Remove the colored protective film from both the control panel and the door.
■Remove all sharp packing items and dispose of all shipping materials properly.
■Do not remove the vent protector from the back of the dryer (on some models).
■Pull the protector out and down to its lowest position and connect the exhaust duct to the dryer. The lowered protector will prevent the duct from getting crushed (on some models).

Exhaust/Ducting:

1 Dryers MUST be exhausted to the outside to prevent large amounts of moisture and lint from being blown into the room.

2 Use only rigid metal or flexible metal 4" diameter ductwork inside the dryer cabinet or for exhausting to the outside. USE OF PLASTIC OR OTHER COMBUSTIBLE DUCTWORK CAN CAUSE A FIRE. PUNCTURED DUCTWORK CAN CAUSE A FIRE IF IT COLLAPSES OR BECOMES OTHERWISE RESTRICTED IN USE OR DURING INSTALLATION.

- Keep the floor around your appliances clean and dry to reduce the possibility of slipping.
■Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is used by or near children. Do not allow children to play on, with or inside this or any other appliance.

  • Keep all laundry aids (such as detergents, bleaches, etc.) out of the reach of children, preferably in a locked cabinet. Observe all warnings on container labels to avoid injury.
    ■Never climb on or stand on the dryer top.

GE UPGT650EHMG - YOUR LAUNDRY AREA - 1

WHEN USING YOUR DRYER

■Never reach into the dryer while the drum is moving. Before loading, unloading or adding clothes, wait until the drum has completely stopped.
■Clean the lint filter before each load to prevent lint accumulation inside the dryer or in the room. DO NOT OPERATE THE DRYER WITHOUT THE LINT FILTER IN PLACE.
■Do not wash or dry articles that have been cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with combustible or explosive substances (such as wax, oil, paint, gasoline, degreasers, dry-cleaning solvents, kerosene, etc.) which may ignite or explode. Do not add these substances to the wash water. Do not use or place these substances around your washer or dryer during operation.
■Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a clothes load to catch fire.
■ Any article on which you have used a cleaning solvent or that contains flammable materials (such as cleaning cloths, mops, towels used in beauty salons, restaurants or barber shops, etc.) must not be placed in or near the dryer until solvents or flammable materials have been removed. There are many highly flammable items used in homes such as acetone, denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some household cleaners, some spot removers, turpentines, waxes, wax removers and products containing petroleum distillates.

■The laundry process can reduce the flame retardancy of fabrics. To avoid such a result, carefully follow the garment manufacturer's care instructions.
■Do not dry articles containing rubber, plastic, foam or similar materials such as padded bras, tennis shoes, galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby pants, plastic bags, pillows, etc., that may melt or burn. Some rubber materials, when heated, can under certain circumstances produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
■Do not store plastic, paper or clothing that may burn or melt on top of the dryer during operation.
Garments labeled Dry Away from Heat or Do Not Tumble Dry (such as life jackets containing kapok) must not be put in your dryer.
■Do not dry fiberglass articles in your dryer. Skin irritation could result from the remaining particles that may be picked up by clothing during subsequent dryer uses.
To minimize the possibility of electric shock, unplug this appliance from the power supply or disconnect the dryer at the building's distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker before attempting any maintenance or cleaning (except the removal and cleaning of the lint filter).

Using the Drying Rack

A handy drying rack may be used for drying delicate items such as washable sweaters.

Hook the rack over the lint filter so the rack extends into the dryer drum.

NOTE:

  • The drying rack should only be used with the TIME DRY cycle. It is also strongly recommended when drying sneakers.
  • Do not use this drying rack when there are other clothes in the dryer.

Loading and Using the Dryer.

Always follow fabric manufacturer's care label when laundering.

Sorting and Loading Hints

As a general rule, if clothes are sorted properly for the washer, they are sorted properly for the dryer. Try also to sort items according to size. For example, do not dry a sheet with socks or other small items.

Do not add fabric softener sheets once the load has become warm. They may cause fabric softener stains. Bounce® Fabric Conditioner Dryer Sheets have been approved for use in all GE Dryers when used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

Do not overload. This wastes energy and causes wrinkling.

Do not dry the following items:

fiberglass items, woolens, rubber-coated items, plastics, items with plastic trim and foam-filled items.

Care and Cleaning of the Dryer

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 display 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.

EXHAUSTING THE DRYER

GE UPGT650EHMG - EXHAUSTING THE DRYER - 1

WARNING – To reduce the risk of fire or personal injury:

  • This dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors.
  • Use only metal duct.
  • Do not terminate exhaust in a chimney, any gas vent, under an enclosed floor (crawl space) or into an attic. The accumulated lint could create a fire hazard.
  • Provide an access for inspection and cleaning of the exhaust system, especially at turns. Inspect and clean at least once a year.
  • Never terminate the exhaust into a common duct with a kitchen exhaust. A combination of lint and grease could create a fire hazard.
  • Do not obstruct incoming or exhausted air.

EXHAUST SYSTEM CHECKLIST

HOOD OR WALL CAP

  • Terminate in a manner to prevent back drafts or entry of birds or other wildlife.
  • Termination should present minimal resistance to the exhaust airflow and should require little or no maintenance to prevent clogging.
  • Never install a screen in or over the exhaust duct.
  • Wall caps must be installed at least 12" above ground level or any other obstruction with the opening pointed down.
  • If roof vents or louvered plenums are used, they must be equivalent to a 4" dampened wall cap in regard to resistance to airflow, prevention of back drafts and maintenance required to prevent clogging.

SEPARATION OF TURNS

- For best performance, separate all turns by at least 4 ft. of straight duct, including distance between last turn and dampened wall cap. For turns less than 4 ft. apart, see the Ducting Component Equivalency Chart.

SEALING OF JOINTS

  • All joints should be tight to avoid leaks. The male end of each section of duct must point away from the dryer.
  • Do not assemble the ductwork with fasteners that extend into the duct. They will serve as a collection point for lint.
  • Duct joints should be made air- and moisture-tight by wrapping the overlapped joints with duct tape or aluminum tape.
  • Horizontal runs should slope down toward outdoors 1/4" per foot.

INSULATION

- Ductwork that runs through an unheated area or is near air conditioning should be insulated to reduce condensation and lint buildup.

USING FLEXIBLE METAL DUCT FOR TRANSITION VENTING

Rigid or semi-rigid metal ducting is recommended for use as transition ducting between the dryer and the wall. In special installations when it is impossible to make a connection with the above recommendations, then a UL-listed flexible metal transition duct may be used between the dryer and wall connection only. The use of this ducting will affect dry time.

If flexible metal transition duct is necessary, the following directions must be followed:

  • Use the shortest length possible.
  • Stretch the duct to its maximum length.
  • Do not crush or collapse.
  • Never use flexible metal ducting inside the wall or inside the dryer.
  • Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.
  • Venting must conform to local building codes.

FOR TRANSITION VENTING (DRYER TO WALL), DO:

EXHAUSTING THE DRYER (cont.)

WARNING

USE ONLY METAL 4" DUCT. DO NOT USE DUCT LONGER THAN SPECIFIED IN THE EXHAUST LENGTH TABLE.

Ducting longer than 90 equivalent feet will:

  • Increase the drying times and the energy cost.
  • Reduce the dryer life.
  • Accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard.

EXAMPLE ONLY

The following chart describes an example of one possible ductwork installation.

The correct exhaust installation is your responsibility.

Problems due to incorrect installation are not covered by the warranty.

The length of the exhaust system depends upon the type of duct, number of turns and the type of exhaust hood (wall cap), and all conditions noted below. Both rigid and flexible metal ducts are shown in the table.

For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length should not exceed 90 equivalent feet.
