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.
PROPER INSTALLATION
This dryer must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions
before it is used. Installation Instructions are included in the back of this manual.
Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.

WARNING!
YOUR LAUNDRY AREA
Keep the area underneath and around your
appliances free of combustible materials,
(lint, paper, rags, etc.), gasoline, chemicals
and other flammable vapors and liquids.
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 the area around the exhaust opening
and adjacent surrounding areas free from the
accumulation of lint, dust and dirt.
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.
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.). These substances give
off vapors that 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
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 household 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). NOTE: Pressing START/PAUSE or POWER
does NOT disconnect the appliance from the power
supply.
If you see water on the floor around the dryer,
call for service.
GEAppliances.com
WHEN NOT USING YOUR DRYER
Grasp the plug firmly when disconnecting this
appliance to avoid damage to the cord while
pulling. Place the cord away from traffic areas
so it will not be stepped on, tripped over or
subjected to damage.
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of
this appliance or attempt any servicing unless
specifically recommended in this Owner’s Manual
or in published user-repair instructions that you
understand and have the skills to carry out.
Before discarding a dryer, or removing it from
service, remove the dryer door to prevent children
from hiding inside.
Do not tamper with controls.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

WARNING!
WHEN USING YOUR DRYER (cont.)
Never attempt to operate this appliance if it is
damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled,
or has missing or broken parts, including a
damaged cord or plug.
The interior of the machine and the exhaust duct
connection inside the dryer should be cleaned at
least once a year by a qualified technician. See
the Sorting and Loading Hints section on page 12.
If yours is a gas dryer, it is equipped with an
automatic electric ignition and does not have
a pilot light. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIGHT WITH
A MATCH. Burns may result from having your hand
in the vicinity of the burner when the automatic
ignition turns on.
Do not open the dryer door during steam cycles.
The steam is very hot and it will continue to
exhaust from the port for several seconds after
opening. Do not touch the steam port after a
steam cycle.
Do not use a steam cycle with items such
as wool, leather, silk, lingerie, foam products
or electric blankets.
Do not use steam cycles on new clothes without
first washing.
You may wish to soften your laundered fabrics
or reduce the static electricity in them by using
a dryer-applied fabric softener or an anti-static
conditioner. We recommend you use either
a fabric softener in the wash cycle, according
to the manufacturer’s instructions for those
products, or try a dryer-added product for which
the manufacturer gives written assurance on
the package that their product can be safely
used in your dryer. Service or performance
problems caused by use of these products are
the responsibility of the manufacturers of those
products and are not covered under the warranty
of this appliance.
Never attempt to use the Steam Dewrinkle or
Steam Refresh cycles without clothes in the drum.
Additionally, it is highly recommended to select
the appropriate load size for best results. Selecting
large load cycles for small loads may result in
wetting of clothes, and selecting small load cycles
for large loads may result in poor dewrinkling
performance.

Operating Instructions Safety InstructionsConsumer Support Troubleshooting Tips
Using the dryer.
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 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.
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 this dryer when
used in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
See below for lint filter cleaning 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.
Fabric Care Labels
Below are fabric care label “symbols” that
affect the clothing you will be laundering.
Model DPVH891 is compatible with the GE Demand Response
(DR) module which can be purchased separately. Contact your
local utility or visit www.GEAppliances.com/demand_response
to see if your area is using DR technology.
The following demand response features are available as part
of a pilot test program with the local utility company to help

To start the unit when Delay Eco is shown, press the DELAY
START button to turn the delay off. Then press START/PAUSE
to begin the cycle.
Settings Menu
Press SETTINGS; then select Energy Management.
Delay Eco Override
If you are starting a cycle in a Critical or High utility rate, this
option allows the unit to automatically run on an Eco Cycle. This
setting will operate with less energy than normal cycles. Default
setting is YES.
Auto-Extend Delays
If a timed delay is selected, this option allows for the scheduled
start to extend if the utility rate is Critical or High at the
scheduled start. The default setting will automatically extend
these cycles.
Timed Dry Eco Option
If the unit is running in Timed Dry Mode and the utility rate
switches to Critical or High, the unit will conserve energy by
decreasing heat if YES (default) is selected. If NO is selected, the
unit will operate normally.
NOTE: When YES (default) is selected, your load may be damp
at the end of the cycle.
In order for the demand response features on the appliance to
work, additional equipment is required to be installed to interface
with the local utility. Such equipment may be sold separately
and/or is available through your utility as part of the pilot test
program. Check with your utility company to see if a pilot test
program is available in your area and for full details.
PLEASE NOTE
: At the conclusion of the pilot test program or if
you move to an area where the program is not available, the
demand response features cannot be activated and utilized on
the appliance. The appliance will function as normal after the
demand response equipment has been deactivated or
disconnected.

FOR YOUR SAFETY:
WARNING
Risk of Fire
To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow
all installation instructions.
Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a
qualified installer.
Install the clothes dryer according to these
instructions and in accordance with local codes.
This dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors.
Use only 4
rigid metal ducting for exhausting the
clothes dryer to the outdoors.
DO NOT install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic
ducting materials. If flexible metal (semi-rigid or
foil-type) duct is installed, it must be UL-listed and
installed in accordance with the instructions found
in “Connecting the Dryer to House Vent” on page 26
of this manual. Flexible ducting materials are known
to collapse, be easily crushed and trap lint. These
conditions will obstruct dryer airflow and increase
the risk of fire.
Do not install or store this appliance in any location
where it could be exposed to water and/or weather.
Save these instructions. (Installers: Be sure to leave
these instructions with the customer.)
FOR GAS MODELS ONLY:
NOTE: Installation and service of this dryer must be
performed by a qualified installer, service agency or
the gas supplier.
In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts:
This product must be installed by a licensed
plumber or gas fitter.
When using ball-type gas shut-off valves, they
shall be T-handle-type.
A flexible gas connector, when used, must not
exceed 3 feet.
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.

Installation Instructions
CONNECTING INLET HOSES
CONNECTING INLET HOSES
To produce steam, the dryer must connect to
the cold water supply. Since the washer must
also connect to the cold water, a “Y” connector
is inserted to allow both inlet hoses to make that
connection at the same time.
NOTE: Use the new inlet hoses provided; never
use old hoses.
1. Turn the cold water faucet off. Remove the
washer inlet hose from the washer fill valve
connector (cold).
2. Ensure the rubber flat washer is in place and
screw the female coupling of the short hose
onto the washer fill valve connector. Tighten
by hand until firmly seated.
3. Attach the female end of the ‘’Y’’ connector
to the male coupling of the short hose. Ensure
the rubber flat washer is in place. Tighten
by hand until firmly seated.
4. Insert the filter screen in the coupling of the
washer’s inlet hose. If a rubber flat washer
is already in place remove it before installing
the filter screen. Attach this coupling to one male
end of the ‘’Y’’ connector. Tighten by hand until
firmly seated.
5. Ensure the rubber flat washer is in place and
attach the dryer’s long inlet hose to the other
male end of the ‘’Y’’ connector. Tighten by hand
until firmly seated.
6. Ensure the rubber flat washer is in place and
attach the other end of the dryer’s long inlet
hose to the fill valve connector at the bottom
of the dryer back panel. Tighten by hand until
firmly seated.
CONNECTING INLET HOSES (cont.)
7. Using pliers, tighten all the couplings with
an additional two–thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the couplings
may result.
8. Turn the water faucet on.
9. Check for leaks around the ‘’Y’’ connector,
faucet and hose couplings.
WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
Hot and cold water faucets MUST be installed
within 42 in. (107 cm) of your washer’s water inlet.
The faucets MUST be 3/4 in. (1.9 cm) garden
hose-type so inlet hoses can be connected. Water
pressure MUST be between 10 and 120 pounds
per square inch. Your water department can
advise you of your water pressure.
NOTE: A water softener is recommended to reduce
buildup of scale inside the steam generator
if the home water supply is very hard.
