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:

• 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.

Mounting dryer on wall
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 page 11 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 and DE5060M press and hold the
‘Keylock’ and ‘Heavy’ buttons for three seconds.
• For DE4060M press and hold the ‘Keylock’ and ‘Air
Dry’ buttons 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.

Installation test cycle
Ensure the installation test cycle is completed before you dry any items in your dryer. This
is to check that your dryer is installed correctly and that it is functioning properly prior to
use.
1. Turn your dryer on by pressing the ‘POWER’
button.
2. Select the ‘Time Dry’ cycle for 30 minutes. Ensure the drum is empty and the door is closed (you will hear it click
shut).
3. Press
the button. The drum will start rotating.
• Observe the dryer for any problems.
• The dryer will beep and display any faults on the screen if there are any problems. Refer to page 29.
4. At the completion of the cycle open the door and check that there is warmth inside the dryer. This indicates the
dryer is operating normally.
If there are any problems, you must address these before proceeding with normal use. The
dryer will automatically turn off at the end of the cycle if there are no problems.
Before you start, it is a good idea to go through the following checklist:
1. Has the packaging been removed?
2. Is the lint filter correctly in place?
3. Has the power cord been connected to an appropriate power supply and the power turned on?
4. Have you performed the installation test cycle?
