Installation Instructions

EXHAUSTING THE DRYER

TOOLS AND MATERIALS YOU WILL

NEED TO INSTALL EXHAUST DUCT

CONNECTING THE DRYER TO

HOUSE VENT

RIGID METAL TRANSITION DUCT

• For best drying performance, a rigid metal transition

duct is recommended.

• Rigid metal transition ducts reduce the risk of

crushing and kinking.

UL-LISTED FLEXIBLE METAL CLOTHES

DRYER TRANSITION DUCT

• If rigid metal cannot be used, then UL-listed flexible

metal clothes dryer transition duct (GE Appliances

part – PM08X10085) can be used.

• Never install transition duct in walls, ceilings, floors

or other enclosed spaces.

• Total length of transition duct should not exceed 8’

(2.4 m).

• For many applications, installing elbows at both

the dryer and the wall is highly recommended (see

illustrations in next section). Elbows allow the dryer

to sit close to the wall without kinking and/or crushing

the transition duct, maximizing drying performance.

• Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.

UL-LISTED FLEXIBLE METAL (FOIL-TYPE)

TRANSITION DUCT

• In special installations, it may be necessary to

connect the dryer to the home exhaust vent

using flexible metal (foil-type) transition duct. UL–

LISTED universal flexible dryer transition duct

(GE Appliances parts – PM8X73 or WX8X73)

may be used ONLY in installations where rigid

metal or flexible metal transition ducting cannot be

used AND where a 4” diameter can be maintained

throughout the entire length of the transition duct.

• In Canada and the United States, only transition

ducts that comply with “UL 2158A STANDARD

FOR CLOTHES DRYER TRANSITION DUCT”

shall be used.

• Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.

• For best drying performance:

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 the duct to its full length. Allow 2”

of duct to overlap the 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.

Installation Instructions

EXHAUSTING THE DRYER (cont.)

Using exhaust longer than specified length will:

• Increase the drying times and the energy cost.

• Reduce the dryer life.

• Accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard.

The correct exhaust installation is YOUR

RESPONSIBILITY.

Problems due to incorrect installation are not

covered by the warranty.

The MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE length of the exhaust

system depends upon the type of duct, number of turns,

the type of exhaust hood (wall cap) and all conditions

noted on the chart.

• Internal elbows added for side or bottom vent

conversions must be included in the total elbow count.

• Any elbow greater than 45° should be treated as a 90°

elbow; one elbow of 45° or less may be ignored.

• Two 45° elbows will be treated like one 90° elbow. For

the side exhaust installations, add one 90° elbow to the

chart.

• For every additional 90° elbow, reduce the allowable

vent system length by 10 feet.

• When calculating the total vent system length, you

must add all the straight portions and elbows of the

system (including the transition duct).

EXHAUST LENGTH

• DO NOT bend

or collapse

ducting. Use

elbows if turns

are necessary.

• DO NOT use

excessive

exhaust

length. Cut

duct as short

as possible.

• DO NOT

crush duct

against the

wall.

• DO NOT

set

appliance

on duct.

• DO cut duct as short as

possible and install straight

into wall.

• DO use elbows when turns are

necessary.

Installation Instructions

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

• Remove and discard existing plastic or metal foil

duct and replace with UL-listed duct.

• Remove any lint from the wall exhaust opening.

Internal

Duct

Opening

Wall

Check that exhaust

hood damper

opens and closes

freely.

STANDARD REAR EXHAUST

This dryer comes ready for rear exhausting. If

space is limited, use the instructions to exhaust

directly from the sides or bottom of the cabinet.

Slide the end of the exhaust duct on the back of the

dryer and secure with duct tape or a hose clamp.

NOTE: We strongly recommend using rigid metal

exhaust duct. However, if flexible ducting is used it

must be UL-Listed metal, not plastic.

• For straight line installation, connect the dryer

exhaust to the external exhaust hood using duct

tape or clamp.

RECOMMENDED CONFIGURATION

TO MINIMIZE EXHAUST BLOCKAGE

Using duct elbows will prevent duct kinking and

collapsing.

EXHAUST SYSTEM CHECKLIST

HOOD OR WALL CAP

• Terminate in a manner to prevent back drafts or entry of

birds or other wildlife.

• Termination should present minimal resistance to

the exhaust airflow and should require little or no

maintenance to prevent clogging.

• Wall caps must be installed at least 12” above ground

level or any other obstruction with the opening pointed

down.

SEPARATION OF TURNS

• For best performance, separate all turns by at least

4 ft. of straight duct, including distance between

last turn and dampened exhaust hood (wall cap).

SEALING OF JOINTS

• All joints should be tight to avoid leaks. The male end

of each section of duct must point away from the dryer.

• Duct joints should be made air- and moisture-tight

by wrapping the overlapped joints with duct tape or

aluminum tape.

• Do not assemble ductwork with any fasteners that

extend into the duct. These fasteners can accumulate

lint, creating a potential fire hazard.

• Horizontal runs should slope down towards the

outdoors 1/4” per foot.

• Provide an access for inspection and cleaning of

the exhaust system, especially at turns and joints.

Exhaust system shall be inspected and cleaned at

least once a year.

INSULATION

• Ductwork that runs through an unheated area or is

near air conditioning should be insulated to reduce

condensation and lint build-up.

Installation Instructions

FINAL SETUP

1. Carefully move the appliance to its final location.

Gently rock the appliance into position. It is

important not to damage the rubber leveling legs

when moving your appliance to its final location.

Damaged legs can increase appliance vibration.

It may be helpful to spray window cleaner on

the floor to help move your appliance to its final

position.

NOTE: Do not use washer cover to lift the unit.

2. To ensure the appliance is level and solid on all

four legs, tilt the appliance forward so the rear

legs are off the ground. Gently set the appliance

back down to allow the rear legs to self adjust.

3. With the appliance in its final position, place a

level on top of back part of the washer lid and

check it side to side, then check front to back.

Screw the front leveling legs up or down to

ensure the appliance is resting solid on all four

legs (no rocking or the appliance should exist),

turn the lock nuts on each leg up toward the base

of the unit and snug with a wrench.

NOTE: Keep the leg extension at minimum to prevent

excessive vibration. The farther out legs are extended,

the more the unit will vibrate.
