SAFETY AND WARNINGS
Meaning of symbols on the dryer
Warning: Risk of fire/Flammable materials
Read the instructions
!
WARNING!
Fire Hazard
Only dry fabrics that have been washed with water.
Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly
textured rubber–like materials, dry on ‘Air Dry’.
Do not stop a tumble clothes dryer before the end of the drying
cycleunless all items are removed and spread out, in order to dissipate
the heat.
A clothes dryer produces combustible lint; the lint filter must be
cleaned before each drying cycle.
Failure to follow the warnings outlined in these user instructions can
cause a fire hazard.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or personal injury.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! When using this appliance always exercise basic safety precautions
including the following:
Dryer use
The tumble dryer is intended only for drying textile material washed in water.
Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed in the dryer.
Damage to the dryer can result if the metal reinforcements come loose during drying.
If you wish to dry these items use a drying rack or place in a garment bag.
Check and remove all objects from pockets, eg lighters and matches.
Never dry rubber articles, or any plastic items or film, eg plastic lined tablecloths
andbaby bibs.
Clothes should go through the cool down/airing phase in the final part of the cycle.
This ensures items are left at a temperature where they will not be damaged. If for
any reason the dryer is stopped before the cycle has finished, dry clothes should be
removed immediately and not left in the dryer. Clothes should be quickly spread out
flat to cool so heat can dissipate, not left bunched up, eg in a clothes basket.
This dryer has been designed for domestic use only, not for commercial applications,
such as massage/beauty clinics where there may be increased lint accumulation or
flammable materials in the atmosphere or load.
Do not operate this product without the lint filter in place or allow lint to accumulate
in or around the dryer.
This dryer is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the dryer by a person
responsible for their safety.
4
SAFETY AND WARNINGS
Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the dryer.
Unplug the machine from the power supply when it is not in use.
Do not swing on or put weight on the door.
Your dryer is designed to stop operating in the event of power outage. When
power isresumed, the machine will remain off until the ‘POWER’ button is
pressed. To restart the dryer, press ‘POWER’ , select your drying cycle and
press .
Never attempt to repair the dryer yourself.
The only user-removable part of the dryer is the lint filter. No other parts are
designed to be removed by anyone other than aFisher & Paykel trained and
supported service technician.
For problems that cannot be solved from information in this User Guide, turn off
and unplug your dryer and contact a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service
technician.
When disposing of the dryer, it is recommended that the door is removed to avoid
children getting trapped inside, and that the electrical cable is cut off close to the
dryer.
IMPORTANT!
We do not recommend the use of extension cords or portable electrical outlet
devices for safety reasons.
Lint
Accumulated lint in the dryer can become a fire hazard; it also reduces the
efficiency of the dryer by causing longer drying times and increased power
consumption.
Clean the lint filter before every load.
Ensure the area around the dryer is clear of lint.
At regular intervals have the interior of the dryer cleaned of any accumulated lint.
This must be done by a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician.
This must be done when the dryer installation is changed from free standing or
inverted, or vice versa.
The dryer exhaust ducting should be inspected and cleaned periodically to remove
accumulated lint.
Spontaneous combustion
IMPORTANT!
To reduce the risk of fire in a tumble dryer the following should be observed:
Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable oil or cooking oil are a fire
hazard and should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat
sources such as a tumble dryer. The items become warm causing an oxidation
reaction in the oil. This oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape the items
can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items
can prevent heat from escaping creating a fire hazard.
If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable oil, cooking oil or have been
contaminated by hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer, they should first
be washed in hot water with extra detergent – this will reduce, but not eliminate
the fire hazard. The cool down cycle of the dryer should be used to reduce the
temperature ofthese items. They should not be removed from the tumble dryer
and piled or stacked while hot.
5
SAFETY AND WARNINGS
Items that have previously been cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with
flammable liquids or solids, eg petrol/gasoline, kerosene, dry cleaning solvents,
vegetable or cooking oil, acetone, denatured alcohol, some brands of spot removers,
turpentine, waxes and wax removers or other flammable or explosive substances
should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
The dryer is not to be used if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning.
Fabric Softeners or similar products should not be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate
the effects of static electricity, unless this practice is specifically recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softener product.
Rubber backed articles, foam rubber (latex foam), clothes or pillows fitted with foam
rubber pads, fibreglass, shoes containing rubber, shower caps, babies waterproof
napkin covers and waterproof textiles should not be dried in the dryer. These
materials can when heated produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
The maximum mass of dry textiles depends on your model. The DE7060M model is
rated at 7kg. The DE5060M model is rated at5kg. The DE4060M model is rated at
4kg. Do not overload yourdryer.

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

DRYER CONTROLS
Digital display screen
The digital display screen provides feedback on
how long the drying cycle has to go. If you have
programmed a ‘Delay Start’ (DE7060M and DE5060M
models only), the screen will display the time remaining
before the cycle starts, along with any messages to
help you with the overall running of your dryer (eg user
warnings).
Time to go
If you have selected one of the Time Dry cycles your
dryer displays approximately how many minutes the
cycle has remaining. The word is displayed on
the screen for automatic cycles.
Please be aware that a number of factors can
influence the overall cycle time, eg the fabric type
andconstruction of garment, load size, how wet the
load is, etc.
Progress lights
The progress lights indicate what stage of the cycle
the dryer is currently at (‘Damp’, ‘Dry’ or ‘Cooling’). All
three lights are on at the beginning of the cycle. The
light for the current stage of the cycle flashes, and each
one goes out when that stage of the cycle is complete.

SORTING AND LOADING
When preparing your load there are some important things to consider:
Sorting
It is best that you sort your garments before placing them into the dryer. Sort into loads
of similar items, and loads that will take similar times to dry. Heavier items (egtowels
and flannelette sheets) are best dried separately from lightweight items (egsynthetics,
polyester-cotton sheets and shirts). This prevents the possibility of some items
becoming over-dried whilst others are still damp. It will also help to extend the life of
your clothing and linen.
Drying your clothes as soon as you remove them from the washer will decrease the
chance of wrinkles and of dye transfer from coloured items to white items.
Garments with hooks or zippers should be fastened where possible and turned inside out.
Care labels on garments provide valuable information about the fabric type and how
the garment should be dried. Always follow the advice on the garment labels. Only dry
items in this dryer that have a care label stating tumble drying is suitable.
Separate coloured items from white/light items where possible, especially when new.
Colour run may be an issue, especially if you intend to delay the start of the drying cycle.

SORTING AND LOADING
Before you load
Check pockets for items that could damage your clothes or get caught in the dryer.
Close zippers, hooks and eyes and other fastenings (ie fasten the openings of duvet/
doona covers) and remove loose bra wires. These may damage both your dryer and
your clothes.
Check the lint filter is clean.
Loading
Garments need to be loaded correctly to minimise creasing and wrinkling and to ensure
the load is dried evenly. Make sure there is plenty of room for the garments to tumble
freely while drying.
Hint: load the dryer in terms of the space the garments take up when dry, rather
thanwhen they are wet. Do not overload your dryer, as this may damage your dryer
andclothes.
To reduce tangling
Load items individually.
Ensure duvet/doona covers are fastened before placing in the dryer.
To reduce creasing
Shake clothes out and load individually to help items dry evenly.
Launder permanent press garments separately, eg business shirts.
Allow enough room in the dryer for clothes to tumble freely.
Hang garments as soon as the drying cycle is complete to reduce the need for ironing.
IMPORTANT!
Never put dripping wet clothes in or on top of the dryer as excess water may cause
anelectrical hazard.
Do not place an item in your dryer unless the care label specifically states it is safe
todo so.
Always follow the instructions on the care label.
Do not dry curtains in your dryer. Sunlight makes them brittle and they may
disintegrate during drying.
20
SORTING AND LOADING
Drying times
Drying very small loads is inefficient. Try to dry medium to large loads.
Heavier items (towels and flannelette sheets) will take longer to dry than light items
(synthetics and polyester cotton sheets and shirts).
Drying times can be reduced by spinning the wash load at the highest spin speed
suitable for the load type in your washing machine.
Drying bulky items
It is important that you check the care label of any item carefully, to ensure it is suitable
for tumble drying, before placing it into the dryer.
Check bulky items during the cycle to ensure even drying, pause the dryer and
reposition the item if necessary.
Do not overload the dryer. Ensure there is enough space for the dry item to tumble.
Lint
Some items are lint givers, while others are lint collectors. Always dry lint givers and
collectors separately.
LINT GIVERS LINT COLLECTORS
Towels Synthetics eg polar fleece
Flannelette sheets Corduroy

DE7060M and the DE5060M models only (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 cycle you have selected after a cycle has started, press and
select your new cycle, then press again to resume drying.
Note: some options may not be available for selection under certain conditions and after
particular stages of the drying cycle have passed.
Dryness Level (DE7060M and DE5060M models only)
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 three 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.
Airing/Cool down (Cooling)
When the dryer has sensed that the load is dry it will
automatically go into an airing or cool down cycle. During
‘Cooling’ the drum tumbles and cool air is blown through
the clothes. This cools the load to reduce creasing if the
clothes are left in the dryer.

DRYING CYCLE OPTIONS
Delay Start (DE7060M and DE5060M only)
The ‘Delay Start’ option enables you to delay the start of the drying cycle from between
5minutes and 12hours. Times you can select are 5min, 15min, 30min, 1hour, then
hourly up to 12hours. This can be useful to time your drying to finish when you arrive
home from work, or to start when power rates are lower.
To programme a ‘Delay Start’, simply press the button to cycle through the delay
start times available. To decrease or turn off ‘Delay Start’ continue to cycle through the
time options. Press 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
remainlit.
The ‘Delay Start’ option is not available on the ‘Time Dry’ cycle.
IMPORTANT!
We suggest that you avoid using ‘Delay Start’ for damp, non-colourfast items as this
may cause dye run to occur.
Customising dryer cycles (DE7060M and DE5060M models only)
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 ‘Everyday’ cycle to a lower drying
temperature.

CLEANING YOUR DRYER
When you have finished using your dryer
Unplug the dryer from the power socket.
Wipe around the door to remove any remaining condensation and/or foreign matter.
Clear the lint filter.
Cleaning your dryer
Before you start cleaning your dryer, ensure that it is disconnected from the power
source (ieunplug the dryer from the power socket).
Cleaning the control panel and outer surfaces of the dryer
Use a soft damp cloth to wipe all surfaces, then wipe dry. Avoid using chemical or
scouring cleaners, as these will damage the paint and plastic surfaces of your dryer.
Cleaning the inside of your dryer
It is important that you occasionally clean the inside of your dryer. If the drum has any
residual dirt or lint stuck to it, remove this and wipe it clean with a damp cloth. Do not
leave any metal objects in the drum, as these may cause rust.
Cleaning the lint filter
Lint is generally formed during wearing and washing.
Fibres(ielint) released from the clothes during the
dryingcycle are collected in the lint filter.
It is important to clean the lint filter after every load, as
the lint produced in the drying process can become a fire
hazard if it is allowed to accumulate in or around your dryer.
The lint filter is located in the door opening (at the bottom).
There is a warning light that will flash at the beginning of
every cycle to remind you to clean the filter. Lint becomes a
fire hazard if left to build up, and will reduce the efficiency
of your dryer.
Lint filter
To clean the lint filter:
Open the dryer door.
1
Remove the lint filter by pulling it up and out of the filter slot. Open it out and wipe the
2
surface clean with your hand.
Close the lint filter and place it back in the opening. Ensure the filter is fitted correctly
3
back in place before operating the dryer.
IMPORTANT!
If the lint filter becomes damaged, contact your Fisher&Paykel trained and supported
service technician to arrange for a replacement filter. Do not operate your dryer with
a damaged lint filter or without the filter in place, as this will cause damage to your
dryer.
