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.

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.

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.

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. Touch 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 'Before You
Call for Service' for more information.
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?
