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 www.GEAppliances.ca, or by calling 1-800-561-3344.
„ 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 4s diameter ductwork inside
the dryer cabinet and use only UL approved
transition ducting between the dryer and the
home duct. 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.
For complete details, follow the Installation
Instructions.
