Electrolux Dryer Wall Mounting Instructions
Wall Mounting Requirements
The wall or vertical surface must be strong enough to support the weight of the fully loaded dryer – approximately 45kg.
If the dryer will be positioned above a top-loading washing machine, ensure there is sufficient space below the dryer for the washing machine lid to open.
Bracket Installation
For Existing Hoover, Westinghouse or Simpson Brackets: Remove the old brackets and replace them with the new bracket, using the appropriate holes to refasten the new brackets. For Electrolux, Westinghouse, and Simpson models, use the 8mm diameter holes.
New Bracket Installation: Use the dimensions provided to mark the correct location for the holes to be drilled. Ensure the distance between the brackets and the holes are correctly aligned.
Brick or Solid Construction Walls: Use the top holes (6.5mm diameter) to mount the bracket. Bolt the brackets directly to the wall using suitable self-locking masonry fasteners, 6mm in diameter x 30mm long.
Timber Framed Walls: Brackets must be positioned to attach to the wall studs behind the plaster board or wall sheeting. If direct attachment to studs is not possible due to inconvenient height or spacing, a timber batten (90mm x 35mm) spanning the distance between two vertical studs is required. Fasten the batten to the wall studs using four coach screws (6mm diameter x 70mm long). The wall brackets can then be screwed to the batten using the top two holes on each side with four coach screws (6mm diameter x 30mm long).
If mounting the dryer on a batten, you will need to mount another piece of timber approximately 600mm long near the bottom of the dryer, in line with the two wall spacers, to keep the dryer vertical.
Insert the spacers at the bottom of the dryer. Push them into the key-hole slots, then rotate the spacers a quarter turn to lock. (Push tabs right in).
Note: The dryer can be mounted either way for your convenience.
It is advisable to have a second person to assist when hanging the dryer.
