2. Laundry Layout & Dryer Installation
Clever space-saving design take the guesswork out of laundry sorting. Clothes dryers can be paired with their matching washing machine for a unified aesthetic, either sat level to each other, wall mounted or stacked using a kit if choosing a front-loader.
If your home does not have a separate laundry room, integrating it into the kitchen or bathroom behind the cabinetry is a good choice.
For installation, clothes dryers require two things: a power source and well-ventilated room. To avoid dampness and mould growth, set up your dryer near a window or use an exhaust fan. If ventilation isn't a choice, take a heat pump condenser dryer into consideration.

Clothes Dryer FAQs
-
Question 1: Does a dryer machine consume a lot of electricity when it is used?
It is recommended to dry your clothing at maximum load to fully utilise the electricity usage under each dry. Heat Pump dryer would be a good choice for better energy efficiency.
When compared to a standard dryer, the Heat Pump dryer saves up to 50% more electricity. It works by heating air in a closed-circuit system, passing it over garments and recycling the hot air to be used in drying the laundry. -
Question 2: How long does a dryer machine dry a full load of clothing after washing?
The overall drying time is affected by a number of factors. One of the important considerations is how much moisture remains in the clothing after your washing cycle. The higher the spin speed during the washing cycle, the faster the garments will dry in the dryer since there is less moisture left in the clothing after the final spin.
Another element is the movement of the drum during drying process. The Frigidaire Reverse Tumbling Technology alternately rotates the drum in the reverse movement, allowing the laundry to dry more rapidly and evenly. -
Question 3: How does the Condenser dryer work if we do not have to install a ducting hose?
The hot and moist air will pass through the Condenser dryer and be cooled down by a Heat Exchanger. This process will convert the moisture in the air into water droplets, which will then be stored in the top water drawer and the hot air will also be cooled down and released as warm dry air.
