SPECIAL INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

ALCOVE OR CLOSET INSTALLATION:

• If your dryer is approved for installation in an alcove or closet, it will be stated on a label on the dryer back.
• The dryer MUST be exhausted to the outside.
• Minimum clearances between the dryer cabinet and adjacent walls or other surfaces are: 0″ either side, 1″ front, top and rear.
• Closet doors must be louvred or otherwise ventilated and must contain a minimum of 60 sq. in. of open area equally distributed. If this closet contains both a washer and a dryer, doors must contain a minimum of 120 sq. in. of open area equally distributed.

BATHROOM OR BEDROOM INSTALLATION:

• The dryer MUST be exhausted to the outdoors.
• The installation must conform with the local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electric Code and National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223 for gas dryers.

MINIMUM CLEARANCES OTHER THAN ALCOVE OR CLOSET INSTALLATION:
Minimum clearances to combustible surfaces: 0″ on both sides, 1″ rear.

POWER CORDS: GE Appliances strongly recommends the use of factory- specified parts. Select the power cord to fit your installaton requirements.*
NOTE: If the dryer circuit is on a circuit protected by a GFCI breaker, then the 3-wire installation is not permitted. Hose wiring and dryer must be configured for 4-wire.

For complete information, see installation instructions packed with your dryer.

DUCTING MATERIALS:
For best performance, this dryer should be vented with 4″ diameter all-rigid metal exhaust duct. If rigid metal duct cannot be used, then UL-listed flexible metal (semi-rigid) ducting can be used (Kit WX08X10077). In special installations, it may be necessary to connect the dryer to the house vent using a flexible metal (foil-type) duct. A UL-listed flexible metal (foil- type) duct may be used ONLY in installations where rigid metal or flexible metal (semi-rigid) ducting cannot be used AND where a 4″ diameter can be maintained throughout the entire length of the transition duct. Please see the installation instructions packed with your dryer for complete instructions when using flexible metal (foil-type) ducting.

EXHAUST LENGTH CALCULATION:

1. Determine the number of 90° turns needed for your installation. If you exhaust to the side or bottom of dryer, add one turn.
2. The maximum length of 4′ rigid (aluminium or galvanized) duct which can be tolerated is shown in the table. A turn of 45° or less may be ignored. Two 45° turns within the duct length should be treated as a 90° elbow. A turn over 45° should be treated as a 90° elbow.

Dryers MUST be exhausted to the outside.

CAUTION: For personal safety, do not terminate exhaust into a chimney, under any enclosed house floor (crawl space), or into an attic, since the accumulated lint could create a fire hazard or moisture could cause damage. Never terminate the exhaust into a common duct or plenum with a kitchen exhaust, since the combination of lint and grease could create a fire hazard. Exhaust ducts should be terminated in a pampered wall cap to prevent back drafts, bird nesting, etc. The wall cap must also be located at least 12″ above the ground or any other obstruction with the opening pointed down.
