Venting
z
Correct installation is very important for all dryers to ensure maximum efficiency
z
and safety.
z
Never run the dryer unless the airflow system is free from obstruction.
z
There must be adequate ventilation to avoid the back flow of gases into the room
z
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
z
from appliances burning gas or other fuels.
External venting
z
Your dryer has been designed to be vented outside to provide the following advantages:
z
Ensures optimum efficiency by preventing recirculation of moist air.
z
Eliminates condensation on walls and ceilings.
z
Reduces the chance of lint being sucked into the dryer.
z
Prevents lint and other fine particles being blown into the room.
z
All external venting systems must be:
z
Made from 100mm diameter flexible foil sleeved with a galvanised metal pipe where
z
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.
z
Fitted with a vent cap outside to stop rain water entering the dryer exhaust system.
z
Angled to avoid condensation running back into the dryer.
z
The vent system should be a maximum of two metres with no more than three 90° bends.
z
Vent systems over two metres long require special installation.
z
Contact a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician.
Internal venting
z
The dryer is set up in the factory for front venting. If front venting is used there must be
z
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.
