INTRODUCTION
Welcome to your new condenser dryer
Thank you for purchasing a Fisher & Paykel clothes dryer. Your new dryer gives you the
convenience of tumble drying and your clothes the advantage of not being subjected to
the harsh overdrying effects of the sun. Your clothes will feel softer, retain their shape
better and require less ironing.
At Fisher & Paykel we aim to provide innovative products that are simple to use,
ergonomic, energy efficient and kind to the environment. Thousands of tons of laundry
and 75years of laundry experience have been programmed into your dryer to help give
you the best possible performance.
Your dryer has the benefit of not needing to be vented outside, instead it condenses the
moisture from the clothes and collects this in a water tank, or can pump it directly into
adrain.
This dryer has been specifically designed to complement our front loading Fisher & Paykel
WashSmart™ and FabricSmart™ washers. We are proud of this dryer and trust it will serve
you well for many years.
Your condensing dryer has numerous cycles and options so you can perform every
drying task (including flat drying) with ease, allowing you to spend less time in the
laundry. With the ability to automatically sense when your clothes are dry, your dryer is
more efficient, making it kinder on your wallet and the environment.
Please take the time to read these instructions carefully before you begin using your
dryer. Following the advice in this User guide will ensure you get the performance
you expect from your dryer and that you get the best possible results. Keep these
instructions for future reference and pass them on with your dryer, if it changes hands.

We hope you enjoy your new dryer. We have certainly enjoyed designing it for you.

DRYING CYCLE OPTIONS
EN
All drying cycles default to the recommended options for that cycle based on the
average expected load size to be dried using that cycle. You can vary the options
(eg‘Dryness Level’, ‘Dry Temp’) to create your desired cycle. Note: some options are
not available on some cycles for clothes care reasons, or because the option is not
appropriate for the cycle.
To change a drying option or options you have selected after a cycle has started,
touch and select your new setting, then touch again to resume the cycle with the
new setting or settings.
Note: some options may not be available for selection under certain conditions and after
particular stages of the drying cycle have passed.
Dryness Level
Your dryer takes the guess work out of choosing drying
times by sensing the dryness of the load. When your dryer
senses that the clothes have dried to the dryness level you
have selected, the dryer will automatically finish the cycle.
The dryer has five dryness levels from ‘Damp’ through
to ‘Extra Dry’. Choose the dryness level to suit your load
depending on how dry you wish for your clothes to be.
If you find the load is not dry enough, select the next
dryness level up. The higher the level, the longer the
drying time and the drier your clothes will become.
Dryness levels
Note: two lights are used to show some dryness levels.
For example, to achieve the Damp Dry setting both the
‘Dry’ and the ‘Damp’ lights will be illuminated.
Airing/Cool down (Cool)
When the dryer has sensed that the load is dry it will
automatically go into a cool down period. This will be a
minimum of 5 minutes and could be longer depending on
the conditions in the laundry room.
Dry Temp
There are four drying temperatures you can choose from:
High: For regular to heavy cottons.
Medium: For synthetics, some blends and items labeled
Permanent Press.
Low: For delicates, synthetics and items labeled Tumble
Dry Low.
No Heat: This option may only be used with ‘Air Dry’ and
‘Time Dry’, in which items are tumbled without heat.
Touch the ‘Dry Temp’ button until the light next to your
desired drying temperature is illuminated.

DRYING CYCLE OPTIONS
Wrinkle Free
If you wish to minimize wrinkling, select one of the ‘Wrinkle Free’ options.
At the end of the cycle, the drum will rotate periodically and cool air will
be circulated through the load to minimize wrinkling and creasing. This is
particularly useful if you cannot remove the items immediately after the
cycle ends. There are two wrinkle free options:
‘On’ provides ‘Wrinkle Free’ operation for 2hours.
‘Extra’ provides ‘Wrinkle Free’ operation for24 hours.
If you wish to stop the dryer at any stage during the ‘Wrinkle Free’ stage of
the cycle, simply touch . You can then open the dryer door and remove
your items. Press ‘POWER’ to stop the cycle and turn the dryer off.
Signal
The ‘Signal’ option automatically defaults to ‘On’ for all cycles. This means a
series of beeps will sound at the end of a cycle, to alert you that the dryer
has finished. You can turn the ‘Signal’ off by touching the ‘Signal’ button
twice (no lights will then be illuminated).
When you select a dryness level above damp/dry and wish your dryer to
alert you to remove items once your load reaches the damp/dry stage,
touch the ‘Signal’ button once to select ‘Damp Dry’. Ensure ‘On’ is also
selected. When your load reaches the damp/dry stage, the dryer will
beep to alert you to remove your items, then continue drying until the
remaining load reaches the dryness level you selected.

To programme a ‘Delay Start’, simply touch the ‘More’ button to increase the delay
time and ‘Less’ button to decrease the time or to turn ‘Delay Start’ off. Touch
to confirm your selection and start the countdown. Once the ‘Delay Start’ has been
started, the time will count down on the digital display in one minute increments, the
‘DelayStart’ light will flash and the light will stop flashing and turn on solid.
Note: if you hold the ‘More’ button down, the time displayed on the screen will
increase after every half a second (more convenient than touching the button
repetitively). To remove a ‘Delay Start’ time once it is counting down, simply touch ,
then touch the ‘Less’ button to decrease the time to zero. Touch to start the cycle
immediately.

IMPORTANT!
We suggest that you avoid using ‘Delay Start’ for damp, non-colorfast items as this
may cause dye run to occur.
Customizing dryer cycles
After using your dryer a few times you may discover there are some drying options you
prefer for some cycles.
You can programme your dryer to remember the drying options you prefer for each
drying cycle. For instance, you may want to set the ‘Perm Press’ cycle to a lower drying
temperature or set the ‘Everyday’ cycle so it automatically has the ‘Wrinkle Free’ option
selected.
To customize a cycle:
Press ‘POWER’ to turn the machine on.
1
Turn the dial to select the cycle you wish to customize.
2
Touch and hold any of the drying options buttons for 3seconds. The lights will flash on
3
and off to indicate that the machine is in cycle adjustment mode.
Select the drying options you prefer by touching the relevant option button.
4
Touch to save the selected settings. The dryer will then beep to indicate your
5
customized cycle has been saved.
Factory reset
You can reset your dryer to the default settings it left the factory with:
Turn the dial to select the ‘Freshen’ cycle.
1
Touch and hold the ‘Delay Start’, ‘More’ , the ‘Delay Start’, ‘Less’ and ‘Signal’
2
buttons together for three seconds.
Your dryer will now be reset to the default settings.
