and GE® topload
washers now feature the
revolutionary HydroWave
™
wash system, designed for
superior cleaning performance
and greater dependability.
The HydroWave wash system
agitates with a variable speed,
wave-like motion to effectively
clean everything from the most
heavily soiled clothes to the
finest delicates. It’s as gentle
as frontload.
The HydroWave wash system
is surprisingly quiet. No more
“chug, chug, chugging”—just
a smoother agitation that
makes it possible to bring the
washer out of the basement
and into the kitchen or other
living area.

Wash big. Dry fast. Get on with life.
New HydroWave™ wash action gives GE Profile™ and GE® topload washers the advantage of
variable agitation speeds designed to match the clothing type and cleaning needs of every load.
The smooth, 360-degree stroke of the agitator moves clothes through the water more slowly,

General information for dryer exhausting
Minimizing the length of ductwork and the number of turns in an exhaust system minimizes the potential for lint to settle and accumulate in the
exhaust duct and in the interior cabinet of the dryer. Refer to your specific dryer installation instructions for recommended duct length.
1. Wall caps and other terminations
All exhaust systems must be terminated in a
manner that will prevent backdrafts from
outside as well as prevent birds or other
wildlife from building nests or taking refuge in
the ductwork. The wall cap should present
minimal resistance to the flow of exhaust air
and should require little maintenance to
prevent clogging. The preferred termination
is either a dampered wall cap with a 4"-wide
opening or a movable louvered wall cap.
A 2-1/2" wall cap restricts airflow and
increases drying time. Wall caps must be
installed with the opening down, and installed
at a minimum of 12" above ground level or
any other obstruction. Special consideration
should be given in areas where heavy snow
drifts are likely to occur to ensure the wall cap
does not become obstructed. Other types of
terminations, such as roof vents or louvered
plenum chambers, are acceptable providing
they are equivalent to the 4" dampered wall
cap. They must contain at least 14 square
inches of ventilation area and afford adequate
protection against backdrafts.
Exhaust ducts must not contain screens or
other filtering devices which may become
clogged with lint. The dryer exhaust must not
terminate in an ordinary chimney, under an
enclosed house floor or crawl space, or into an
attic, since any accumulated lint could create
a fire hazard and the moisture could cause
damage. Never terminate the exhaust into a
common duct or plenum with a kitchen hood
exhaust since the combination of grease
and lint could create a fire hazard.
2. Separation of turns in the ductwork
All turns in the exhaust system, external to the
dryer itself, including the distance from the
last turn to the dampered wall cap, should be
separated by at least 4' of straight metal duct.
This will reduce the added resistance which
results from rapid changes in airflow direction
inside the ducting. If two turns must be closer
than 4', deduct 10' from the maximum lengths
shown in the chart on page 66.
4' Min.
4' Min.
3. Treatment of turns other than 90°
One turn of 45° or less may be ignored. Two
such turns should be treated as one 90°.
Each turn over 45° should be treated as one
90°. Refer to specific dryer installation for
maximum duct lengths and for allowable
number of 90° bends. In determining the
number of turns for an exhaust system, one
90° turn must be added for the bend made
inside the cabinet whenever the dryer is
exhausted through the right, left or bottom.
NOTE: Some dryers are limited to only rear
exhausting. Consult the installation
instruction for the type of dryer being used.
4. Use of flexible metal ducting
We recommend the use of 4" diameter rigid
metal ducting for permanent and transition
venting. Permanent venting is from the wall,
floor or ceiling to the outside. Transition
venting is from the dryer to the wall, floor
or ceiling. If rigid all-metal ducting cannot be
used, then flexible all-metal ducting may be
used, if the following precautions are adhered
to:
A. Use only 4" diameter all-metal ducting.
B. It must not be allowed to collapse, kink or
sag when the dryer is in its final installed
position. Required turns in the exhaust
system should be made with rigid elbows.
C. Use the shortest duct length possible. Don’t
exceed the maximum allowable duct length
specified in the installation instructions.
D. Stretch the duct to its maximum length.
E. To reduce the risk of fire, never use plas tic
or other combustible ductwork.
NOTE: In special installations where it is
impossible to use rigid all-metal or flexible
all-metal duct for transition venting, UL Listed
clothes dryer transition duct may be used. The
following additional precautions should be followed if this type of ducting is used.
A. Never use transition duct beyond the wall,
ceiling or floor inside the dryer.
B. Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.
Please refer to the installation instructions
for additional exhaust information.
5. Sealing of joints
All duct joints should avoid leaks. Duct joints
should be made air- and moisture-tight by
wrapping the overlapped joints with duct
tape. The male ends of each section of duct
should point away from the dryer.
Do not assemble the ductwork with screws
or other fasteners that extend into the duct.
They will serve as a collection point for lint.
6. Water condensation
Condensation in a dryer exhaust system is
caused by the moisture in the exhausted air
contacting the cold inner surfaces of the
ductwork. Condensation, which forms at the
beginning of the drying cycle, will dissipate
quickly after the ductwork becomes heated.
If the ductwork passes through an area which
keeps it cool throughout the drying cycle,
considerable condensation within the duct
can be expected. This can result in rapid
accumulation of lint in the ductwork.
Ductwork which runs through an unheated
area or is situated adjacent to an air
conditioning duct should be insulated to avoid
such condensation problems. Joints should
be tight to avoid leaks and, where feasible, the
duct should be dropped 1/16" per foot toward
the termination.
1/16" Per
Foot Pitch
7. Accessibility for cleaning
Since it may be necessary from time to time
to remove lint from the inside of the ductwork,
it is important that the exhaust system be
installed with a provision for periodic
inspection and cleaning. Some provision
should be made for access to turns and
straight runs of duct installed in an enclosed
area, such as above plastered ceilings. Special
consideration should be given to the amount
of maintenance required for roof caps on
vertical installations, since the user cannot be
expected to make frequent inspections

Multi-unit systems
Accurate installation of a good dryer exhaust
system in multi-family construction is
especially important. The restrictions applied
by this type of construction should cause the
planner to be more concerned than in
single-family construction.
When the length of the exhaust duct or the
number of turns in the system exceeds the
maximum limi tations recommended by the
dryer manufacturer, the planner must seek
an alternate solution. One option is to install
a common ducting system that is capable of
handling the discharge of several dryers at
various points along the system.
Common fan-assisted dryer exhaust stack
(auxiliary roof fan systems)
The stack outlet (See Illustration No. 2) must
be fitted to a continuous duty exhaust fan
rated to handle the stack air volume for the
total number of dryers on the system. Periodic
cleaning of the exhaust fan is necessary to
maintain efficient operation.
The bottom of the stack should contain a
barometric damper to prevent drawing air
through the dryers not in use, and a lint
clean-out access door. The damper should be
adjusted to just open with all dryers on and
the continuous-duty exhaust fan operating.
The weighted damper in the individual dryer
ducts should be adjusted so that it will just
close with all dryers off and the continuousduty exhaust fan operating. The fan should
be running at all times. The duct system from
each individual dryer must meet the turn and
length requirements as noted on page 66.
The required stack diameter for air volumes
of 200 CFM to 3,000 CFM can be determined
from Illustration No. 4 and calculations on
the chart to the right.
The scope of the subject is far too broad to be
extensively described within this publication.
Sufficient information is presented, however,
to make the planner aware of the importance
of special attention to the subject. Two types
of common ducts are generally used: (1) the
common dryer exhaust stack with an auxiliary
roof fan and (2) the chimney exhaust.
Stack and chimney designs and exhaust
fans must meet all local code requirements.
It is suggested that professional engineering
counsel should be sought in these matters.
Dryers should be installs as close to the common
duct as possible. Dryers discharges must be
offset to prevent one unit from exhausting

Airflow value: 150 CFM.
Assume installation contains eight (8) dryers operating
at the same time. Stack air volume (Q) = 150 x 8
= 1200 CFM (Q) is air volume that stack must be
capable of handling in the event all dryers are
running at one time. Therefore, the stack diameter

on the vertical scale and reading 12 on the

inches to handle the required volume of air and the
continuous-duty exhaust blower should be rated to
handle this volume while maintaining an air velocity
of 1500 Ft./Minute.
STACK DIAMETER INCHES
Chimney exhaust system
The chimney must be fire-resistant and large
enough to accommodate the volume of air
exhausting from the dryers. Consideration
must be made for lint buildup, excessive
chimney pressures, backdrafts and other
technical factors which will influence the
performance and the safety of the system.
A lint clean-out access door should be
included at the bottom of the chimney.
Each dryer duct must have a 4" diameter
backdraft damper, adjusted so that it will
just close with the dryer inoperative. This will
prevent the exhaust and lint of one dryer
from going into another dryer and its room.
The duct system for each individual dryer
must meet the turn and length requirements
as noted on page 66.
Use the specs for a 2-1/2" exhaust hood for
proper dryer performance. Include the 90°
elbow and all ducting in the chimney in your
calculations. The 22" (minimum) of vertical
ducting in the chimney reduces back pressure
and is required for proper dryer performance.

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 outdoors. See installation instructions.
• Minimum clearances between dryer cabinet and adjacent walls or other surfaces are:
0" either side
3" front and rear
• Minimum vertical space from floor to overhead cabinets, ceilings, etc., is 52".
• Closet doors must be louvered 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.
• No other fuel-burning appliance shall be installed in the same closet with a gas dryer.
Dryer exhausting information
For complete information see installation instructions packed with dryer.
Important note: To convert a 7.3 cu. ft. dryer from rear exhaust to bottom or side
venting, Pub. No. 14-A003 is required. 5.8, 6.0 and 7.0 cu. ft. dryers do not require
additional parts to convert to bottom or side venting. Note: An extra length (10-ft.)
communication cable is available at additional cost, Pub. No. 14-A013.
Ducting materials
For best performance, this dryer should be vented with 4" diameter all-rigid metal
exhaust duct. If “all-rigid metal” duct cannot be used, then “flexible all-metal” venting
can be used, but it will reduce the maximum recommended duct length.
The following kit or parts are available from your local service organization.
Kit WX8X75—7' aluminum duct and 4' hood, short tail.
(OR individual parts):
WX8X65 7' aluminum flex duct only
WX8X58 4' clamps (2)
WX8X67 4' exhaust hood
See installation instructions for complete information.
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 (aluminum or galvanized) duct which can be tolerated
is shown in the table.
The maximum lengths for flexible ducts are less than for rigid duct.
See table in installation instructions. 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.
Exhausting the dryer to the outside is strongly recommended to prevent large amounts
of moisture and lint from being blown into the room. Gas dryers or any dryer located in a
closet 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 dampered 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
obstruc tion with the opening pointed down. Other terminations, such as louvered wall
boxes, are acceptable provided they are equivalent to a 4" opening dampered wall cap.
Bathroom or bedroom installation
• The dryer MUST be exhausted to the outdoors. See installation instructions.
• The installation must conform with the local codes, or in the absence of local codes,
with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.
Minimum clearances other than alcove or closet installations
• Minimum clearances to combustible surfaces:
0" both sides
3" rear
Side or bottom exhaust
• For 7.3 cu. ft. models, order kit Pub. No. 14-A003
• For 7.0, 6.0 or 5.8 cu. ft. models, see installation instructions
• Unitized models do not require a kit for side venting
