GE DTSR495GF0GG Owner's manual

Category

Type
Owner's manual
This manual is also suitable for

GE DTSR495GF0GG is a dryer with an automatic moisture sensor. Thanks to that function the dryer can detect moisture levels within the drum and stop the cycle once the load is dry, preventing over-drying. It also features a wrinkle care option that periodically tumbles clothes in the dryer after the cycle is complete, to help prevent wrinkles from setting in. With 13 cycles available, including dedicated cycles for delicates, knits, and even a timed dry option, there is a drying cycle for almost any load of laundry.
