Installation Instructions
CONNECTING THE DRYER TO
HOUSE VENT (CONT.)
• Never install flexible metal duct in walls, ceilings,
floors or odler enclosed spaces.
• Total lengdl of flexible metal duct should not
exceed 8 feet (2.4 m).
• Avoid resting tlle duct on sharp objects.
• For best diTing performance:
1. Slide one end of the duct over the clodles
dryer outlet pipe.
2. Secure the duct witll a clamp.
3. Witll the dryer in its permanent position,
extend the duct to its fldl lengdl. Allow 2" of
duct to overlap tlle exhaust pipe. Cut off and
remove excess duct. Keep tl_e duct as straight
as possible for maximum airflow.
4. Secure the duct to the exhaust pipe with
the odler clamp.
EXHAUST DIRECTION
All (liTers are shipped set up for rear exhausting.
On elecuic d_yers, exhausting can be on the cabinet fight
or left side, or through the dryer bottom. G;ts dryeis can
exhaust on the cabinet fight side or the d_yer 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 ttuough your GE remileL Follow the
insmlcdons supplied with the kit.

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