Installation Instructions

REQUIREMENTS FOR ALCOVE OR CLOSET INSTALLATION

•Your dryer is approved for installation in an alcove or closet, as stated on a label on the dryer back.

•The dryer MUST be vented to the outdoors. See the EXHAUSTING THE DRYER section.

•Minimum clearance between dryer cabinet and adjacent walls or other surfaces is:

0″ either side

3″ front and rear

•Minimum vertical space from floor to overhead shelves, cabinets, ceilings, etc., is 52″.

•Closet doors must be louvered or otherwise ventilated and have at least 60 square inches of open area equally distributed. If the closet contains both a washer and a dryer, doors must contain a minimum of 120 square inches of open area equally distributed.

•The closet should be vented to the outdoors to prevent gas pocketing in case of gas in the supply line.

•No other fuel-burning appliance shall be installed in the same closet with the dryer (gas models only).

NOTE: WHEN THE EXHAUST DUCT IS LOCATED AT THE REAR OF THE DRYER, MINIMUM CLEARANCE FROM THE WALL IS 5.5 INCHES.

BATHROOM OR BEDROOM

INSTALLATION

•The dryer MUST be vented to the outdoors. See

EXHAUSTING THE DRYER.

•The installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE, ANSI/NFPA NO. 70 (for electric dryers) or NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE, ANSI Z223 (for gas dryers).

MOBILE OR MANUFACTURED HOME INSTALLATION

•The installation must conform to the

MANUFACTURED HOME CONSTRUCTION & SAFETY STANDARD, TITLE 24, PART 32–80 or, when such standard is not applicable, with AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD FOR MOBILE HOME,

NO. 501B.

•The dryer MUST be vented to the outdoors with the termination securely fastened to the mobile home structure. (See EXHAUSTING THE DRYER.)

•The vent MUST NOT be terminated beneath a mobile or manufactured home.

•The vent duct material MUST BE METAL.

•FOR GAS MODELS ONLY: KIT 14-D346-33 MUST be used to attach the dryer securely to the structure.

•FOR GAS MODELS ONLY: The vent MUST NOT be connected to any other duct, vent or chimney.

•Do not use sheet metal screws or other refastening devices which extend into the interior of the exhaust vent.

•Provide an opening with a free area of at least 25 sq. in. for introduction of outside air into the dryer room.

RESIDENTIAL GARAGE INSTALLATION

•Dryers installed in residential garages must be elevated 18 inches (46cm) above the floor.

PFMS455, PFMS450, PFDN445, PFDN440, PFDS450 specifications

The GE PFMN440, PFMN445, PFDS455, PFDS450, and PFDN440 are part of GE’s innovative family of radio frequency (RF) power transistors designed for various commercial and industrial applications. These devices are renowned for their efficient performance, providing a blend of high power output and reliability, ideal for telecommunications, broadcasting, and other RF applications.

The GE PFMN440 and PFMN445 are members of the RF transistor family that offer robust performance in high-frequency applications. The PFMN440 is particularly noted for its outstanding linearity and power gain, which makes it suitable for use in RF amplifiers and transmitters. Its compact package and advanced thermal management design enable efficient heat dissipation, which is critical in maintaining performance under load. The PFMN445, with a higher power rating, amplifies these characteristics, supporting greater output levels while maintaining linearity, resulting in clearer signal output.

The PFDS455 and PFDS450, on the other hand, are optimized for industrial applications with features that emphasize durability and efficiency. The PFDS455 stands out for its ability to handle higher voltages and currents, making it an excellent choice for applications that require resilience against overloads. The device's superior thermal stability ensures that it performs consistently across a range of operational environments. The PFDS450 shares many of these attributes but is tailored for applications requiring a slightly lower output, making it versatile for different RF circuit designs.

The PFDN440 is designed with specialized technologies that enhance its functionality in digital and mixed-signal environments. It integrates advanced semiconductor materials which reduce power consumption and improve efficiency without compromising performance. This device is particularly useful in applications that demand high-speed operation and reliability, making it a preferred choice for modern communication systems.

All these transistors utilize state-of-the-art manufacturing processes, including advanced doping techniques and epitaxial growth, which contribute to their excellent electrical characteristics. Their high thermal conductivity, high breakdown voltage, and wide frequency response range make these devices suitable for both commercial and specialized applications.

Overall, GE's PFMN440, PFMN445, PFDS455, PFDS450, and PFDN440 transistors are emblematic of modern RF technology, combining power, efficiency, and reliability to cater to a wide spectrum of RF applications.
