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 should 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 2 metres with no more than three 90⁰ 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.

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

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 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 555mm
(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.
