Safety and warnings
To minimise the risk of fire in a tumble dryer, the following should be observed:
Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol,
kerosene, dry cleaning solvents, spot removers, turpentine, waxes or wax removers, should be
washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.
Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as
in a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. 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 and so create a fire hazard.
If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or 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 hazard.
The ‘cool down’ cycle of tumble dryers should be used to reduce the temperature of the items to
ensure they will not be damaged. They should not be removed from the tumble dryer or piled or
stacked while hot.
Important!
Never stop the tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly
removed and spread out so that the heat can dissipate.
The dryer should not be used for items cleaned using industrial chemicals.
Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber like
materials should not be dried in a tumble dryer.
Foam rubber materials can, when heated, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
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 or product.
Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Damage to the tumble dryer can result if metal reinforcements come loose during drying.
Plastic articles such as shower caps and waterproof textiles should not be placed in a tumble
dryer.
Rubber-backed articles, fibreglass, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and
rubber-coated tennis shoes should not be placed in a tumble dryer.

The proper location
Install your machine in environments which have no risk of freezing and in a stable and level
position.
Do not install the machine behind lockable door, a sliding door, or a door that is hinged on the
opposite side to that of the dryer, in such a way that the door of the machine cannot be opened fully.
Do not place your machine on a carpet covered floor, a long pile rug or on similar surfaces.
Operate your machine in a well ventilated, dust-free environment.
Make sure that your machine is not placed on the power cable.
Place it at least 30 mm away from the edges of other furniture and walls.
Place the machine on a sound floor.
A special part (Part No. 791746) must be used if the machine is to be installed under a counter or
in a cupboard. This replaces the top trim and must be installed by a Fisher & Paykel Authorised
Repairer. Never operate the machine without the top trim.
If the machine is to be placed on top of a washing machine, the approximate weight together
may reach 180 kg when they are full.
A stacking kit should be used between the products, fitted to the washing machine.
Stacking Kit White Part No. 790691
Levelling
In order to ensure that your machine operates quietly and vibration-free, it must stand level and
balanced on its feet.
Balance the machine by adjusting the front feet. Loosen the feet by hand, and adjust them until
the machine stands level and does not rock.
Never unscrew the adjustable feet from their housings.
Two plastic pieces supplied with the Installation Instructions and User Guide
prevent your machine from slipping on wet and slippery surfaces. Tilt your
machine backwards to install these plastic parts. Fit the plastic parts to the
front adjustable feet. Press on the plastic parts to fix them in their places. Check
the balance of your machine again and readjust the adjustable feet if necessary.
