Installation Instructions

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Remove any lint from the wall exhaust
opening.

EXHAUSTING THE DRYER (cont.)

Internal
Duct
Opening

Wall

Check that
exhaust hood
damper opens
and closes freely.

STANDARD REAR EXHAUST

We recommend that you install your
dryer before installing your washer. This
will permit direct access for easier exhaust
connection.

Slide the end of the exhaust duct underneath
the clips on the back of the dryer and secure
with duct tape or a hose clamp.

Clip

NOTE: We strongly recommend using rigid
metal exhaust duct. If using semi-rigid metal
duct, cut it to the proper length and avoid
bunching of the duct behind the dryer.

For straight-line installation, connect the

dryer exhaust to the wall using duct tape.

RECOMMENDED CONFIGURATION
TO MINIMIZE EXHAUST BLOCKAGE

Using duct elbows will prevent duct kinking
and collapsing.

DRYER EXHAUST TO SIDE OR
BOTTOM OF CABINET

If you wish to exhaust your dryer to the side
or bottom of the cabinet, order exhaust kit
14-A003, available from your GE supplier.
