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 90
⁰
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.
