Hi Larry- Thanks for choosing our GE Unitized Spacemaker® Washer/Dryer GUD24ESSMWW! For Side Venting: Detach and remove the right or left side knockout (one only) as desired. Rotate elbow sections so that the opening points to the side to which you want to vent. Preassemble 4” elbow with 4” duct. Use only 4” UL approved rigid metal for ducting inside the dryer. Insert duct assembly through the side opening and connect to the internal dryer elbow duct. We suggest to view page 15 of the Installation Instructions at the following link: http://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=31-16781-1.pdf - CONNECTING THE DRYER TO HOUSE VENT: For best drying performance, a rigid 4" metal transition duct is recommended (sold separately). Rigid metal transition ducts reduce the risk of crushing and kinking. If rigid metal cannot be used, then UL-listed flexible metal clothes dryer transition duct (GE Appliances part – PM08X10085 sold separately, can be used.) See page 12 (Tools and materials you will need). Keep in touch! SUE@GEA
