Installation Instructions
CONNECTING THE DRYER TO
HOUSE VENT (CONT.)
• Never install flexible metal duct in walls, ceilings,
floors or other enclosed spaces.
• Total length of flexible metal duct should not
exceed 8 feet (2.4 m).
• Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.
• For best drying perfbrmance:
1. Slide one end of the duct over the clothes
dryer outlet pipe.
2. Secure the duct with a clamp.
3. With the dryer in its permanent position,
extend tile duct to its full length. Allow 2"
of duct to overlap tile exhaust pipe. Cut off
and remove excess duct. Keep the duct as
straight as possible for maximum airflow.
4. Secure the duct to the exhaust pipe with
the other clamp.
EXHAUST DIRECTION
All (liTers are shipped set up for rear exhausting.
On electric dryers, exhausting can be on the cabinet fight
or left side, or through the dryer bottom. (;_tsdryei_ can
exhaust on the cabinet Hgbt side or the dryer bottom. To
change exhaust direction you will need Exhaust Kit Pub.
No. 14-A018 and a rigid metal 4" 90-degree elbow. The kit
is available through your GE retaileL Follow the
insu_ucdons supplied with the kit.

EXHAUST DUCTING LENGTH
The exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned a
minimum of eve_T year with nomml usage. The more the
d_Ter is used, the more often you should check the exhaust
system and vent hood for proper operation.
• DO NOT assemble the duct work with fasteners that
extend into the duct. They will serve as collection points
for lint.
• Insulation - Ductwork which runs through an unheated
area or is near an air conditioning duct should be
insulated to reduce condensation and lint buildup.
