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.
• 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.
