Location
•The dryer must be installed in a well-ventilated, dust- free environment.
•The dryer must not be installed on any textured floor coverings (eg carpet, rugs).
•Do not install the dryer behind a lockable door, sliding door, or behind a door where the
hinge is on the opposite side to that of the dryer in such a way that the full opening of
the door is inhibited. Ensure the dryer door can always be opened fully.
•Do not install the dryer outside, in a damp place, where there is a risk of freezing,
where it may be rained on, in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat.
•Do not place your dryer on top of its power cable.
Venting
Correct installation is very important for all dryers to ensure maximum efficiency and safety.
Never run the dryer unless the airflow system is free from obstruction.
There must be adequate ventilation to avoid the back flow of gases into the room from appliances burning fuels,
including open fires, when operating the dryer.
Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other
fuels.
External venting
Your dryer has been designed to be vented outside to provide the following advantages:
• Ensures optimum efficiency by preventing recirculation of moist air.
• Eliminates condensation on walls and ceilings.
• Reduces the chance of lint being sucked into the dryer.
• Prevents lint and other fine particles being blown into the room.

All External Venting Systems should be:
• Made from 100 mm diameter flexible foil sleeved with a galvanised metal pipe where the vent system goes
through the wall, or 100 mm diameter galvanised metal piping.
• Exhausted outside and not into another confined space, eg the roof cavity of a house.
• Fitted with a vent cap outside to stop rain water entering the dryer exhaust system.
• Angled to avoid condensation running back into the dryer.
• The vent system should be a maximum of 2 metres with no more than three 90° bends.
• Vent systems over 2 metres long require special installation. Contact a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported
service technician.
Internal venting
The dryer is set up in the factory for front venting. If front venting is used there must be adequate ventilation to avoid the
build up of moisture in the room, which can affect the performance of the dryer. Venting must comply with local by-laws
and regulations.
Installation options
There are two different ways your dryer can be positioned. Freestanding or inverted and mounted on a wall.
Free Standing
The dryer stands on the floor and can easily be moved into
position.
1. Move the dryer into the desired position. Do not lift the
dryer by the top panel.
2. Have a minimum clearance on all sides of at least 20
mm.
3. Have a minimum clearance at the rear of 75 mm. The
spacers from the accessory wall mounting kit can be
used to set this distance.
4. Install the dryer on a stable and level floor.

The vent system should be a
maximum of 2 metres with no
more than three 90° bends.
Before a rear venting option is installed the dryer must be
changed from the front venting factory setup. Remove the

remove air to the side.
The dryer is vented directly through the wall using a ducting
kit in combination with the duct adaptor supplied with the
dryer.
The dryer is vented through a window using a ducting kit in
combination with the duct adaptor supplied with the dryer.
This requires the dryer to be a minimum distance of 140mm
from the wall to ensure the ducting is not restricted with tight
bends or can be crushed.
PD-DK4W Models
The dryer can be vented with a kit that can be positioned to
vent upwards or to the side. Kit part number PD-DK4W.

Mounting Dryer on Wall
1. Determine the position of the dryer on the wall and
mark the bracket position. A minimum of 50 mm is
needed between the top of the dryer and the
ceiling for ease of installation. If mounting above a
washing machine, allow sufficient room to open the
lid of the washer. Refer to page 10 for lid
clearances.
2. Fix the wall hanging brackets to the wall securely,
eg into the stud. If the studs are too far apart, fit a
timber slat to the studs and then mount the
brackets onto the slat. Add the same slat under the
two spacers. The distance between the centre of
each bracket is 555 mm (A).
3. To install the hooks onto the dryer, remove one
screw from each side (B), reuse these with two
more (each side) from the kit to fasten the hooks in
place.
4. Remove plastic plugs from the back of the dryer
and screw the spacers provided in place (C).
5. With assistance, mount the dryer on the wall
brackets.
Before a rear venting option is installed the dryer must be changed from the front venting factory setup. Remove the
outlet grille from the front left-hand side and replace with the outlet cover from the rear left-hand side. These covers
should be gently pried at the sides to prevent damage.
