Hafele Dryers Clearance Requirements
Hafele dryers installed in Australian homes require 20mm side, 50mm rear, and 50mm top ventilation clearance per manufacturer guidelines. Notable: narrower side clearance than most brands (20mm vs 30mm average), which can help in tighter cavities; unusually low top clearance requirement (50mm vs 200mm default) — good for fitted kitchen cabinetry. Insufficient clearance can void warranty and cause premature compressor failure.

Installation Tips
- Push dryer at least 50mm from the wall before securing — use a tape measure, not eyeballing.
- If installing under overhead cabinetry, confirm 50mm gap above the lid or top panel.
- Measure your cavity before purchase — dryer dimensions vary by ±20mm between models within this brand.
