ocation
• 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 Must Be:
• Made from 100mm diameter flexible foil sleeved with a galvanised metal pipe where the vent system goes
through the wall, or 100mm 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 two metres with no more than three 90° bends.
• Vent systems over two 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.
Freestanding The dryer stands on the floor and can easily be moved into position.

Freestanding
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 20mm.
3. Have a minimum clearance at the rear of 75mm. 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.
Freestanding Venting Options
The vent system should be less than
two metres long with no more than three
90⁰ bends.
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.
External Venting
The dryer is vented with a kit that can be positioned to 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.
Internal Venting
Front venting is the only recommended option for venting into the
room. The dryer is set up for front venting when it leaves the factory.
Where possible all efforts should be made to
vent the dryer externally to avoid moisture
build up around the dryer.

Wall Mounting
1. Determine the position of the dryer on the wall
and mark the bracket position. A minimum of
50mm 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 'Inverted Wall Mounting' for
lid clearances.
2. Fix the wall hanging brackets to the wall
securely, ie into the stud. If the studs are too far
apart, fit a timber slat to the studs and then
mount the brackets to the slat. If a slat is used,
install a second slat behind the spacers to
ensure the dryer is horizontal. The distance
between the centre of each bracket is 555mm
(A).
3. To install the hooks onto the dryer, remove one
screw from each side (B), reuse these
screws 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.
6. Fit inverted control panel over the existing
panel.
7. Adjust the display to read correctly on an
inverted panel:
◦ For DE7060M, DE6060M and DE5060M
press
and
for three seconds.
◦ For DE4560M press
and
for three seconds.

◦ The dryer will beep to indicate you have
made a correct selection, and the display
will change after three seconds.
◦ Repeat the same steps to return the panel
to the factory setting.
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.
External Venting Options
• Kits are available that allow the dryer to be vented upwards or to the
side.
• The dryer can be vented directly through the wall with a kit, in
combination with the duct adaptor supplied with the dryer.
The vent system should be less than two metres long
with no more than three 90⁰ bends.
Internal Venting
Front venting is the only option for internal venting. The dryer is set up for
front venting when it leaves the factory.
Where possible all efforts should be made to vent the
dryer externally to avoid moisture build up around the
dryer.
