such as massage/beauty clinics where there may be increased lint accumulation or
flammable materials in the atmosphere or load.
z
The tumble dryer is intended only for drying textile material washed in water.

z
Never dry rubber articles, or any plastic items or film, eg plastic lined tablecloths
andbaby bibs.
z
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. Ifforany
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.
Do not operate this product without the lint filter in place or allow lint to accumulate
in or around the dryer.

disintegrate during drying.
z
Do not use the water collected in the water tank for drinking or food processing.
z
Never run the dryer without the water tank in place.
z

alarm. You must empty the water tank before the dryer can continue drying. Empty
the tank, replace it back in the housing then touch to resume the cycle.
Lint
z
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.
z
Clean the lint filter before every load.
z
Ensure the area around the dryer is clear of lint.
z
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.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
Spontaneous combustion
IMPORTANT!
To reduce the risk of fire in a tumble dryer the following should be observed:
z
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.
z
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.
z
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.
z
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.
z
Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
z
The dryer is not to be used if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning.
z
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.
z
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.
z
When choosing to tumble dry a duvet/doona use low-medium heat only and make
sure the drum is not overloaded due to the risk of overheating and scorching.
z
Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes
fromappliances burning gas or other fuels.
z
Disposal
Extreme care must be taken when disposing of your old appliance to avoid hazards.
z
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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Venting
Correct installation is very important for all dryers to ensure maximum efficiency
andsafety.
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
fromappliances burning fuels, including open fires, when operating the dryer.
Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes
fromappliances burning gas or other fuels.
External venting
Your dryer has been designed to be vented outside to provide the following advantages:
z
Ensures optimum efficiency by preventing recirculation of moist air.
z
Eliminates condensation on walls and ceilings.
z
Reduces the chance of lint being sucked into the dryer.
z
Prevents lint and other fine particles being blown into the room.
All external venting systems should be:
z
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.
z
Exhausted outside and not into another confined space, eg the roof cavity of a house.
z
Fitted with a vent cap outside to stop rain water entering the dryer exhaust system.
z
Angled to avoid condensation running back into the dryer.
z
The vent system should be a maximum of 2 metres with no more than three 90⁰ bends.
z
Vent systems over 2 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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Installation options
There are two different ways your dryer can be positioned.
Freestanding or inverted and mounted on a wall.
Free standing
The dryer stands on the floor and can easily be moved into position.
Move the dryer into the desired position. Do not lift the dryer by the top panel.
1
Have a minimum clearance on all sides of at least 20mm.
2
Have a minimum clearance at the rear of 75mm.
3
The spacers from the accessory wall mounting kit
can be used to set thisdistance.
Install the dryer on a stable and level floor.
4
Free standing venting options
Note: the vent system should be less than twometres
long with no more than three 90⁰ bends.
Before a rear venting option is installed the dryer
must be changed from the front venting factory setup.
Remove the outlet grille from the front left-hand
sideand replace with the outlet cover fromthe rear
left-hand side. These covers should begently pried
atthe sides to prevent damage.
External venting with kit part
number PD-DK4W
External venting
The dryer is vented with a kit that can be positioned
toremove air to the side.
The dryer is vented directly through the wall using
a ducting kit in combination with the duct adaptor
supplied with the dryer.
The dryer is vented through a window using a ducting
kit in combination with the duct adaptor supplied with
the dryer. This requires the dryer to be a minimum
distance of 140mm from the wall to ensure the ducting
is not restricted with tight bends or can be crushed.
Internal venting
Front venting is the only recommended option for
venting into the room. The dryer is set up for front
venting when it leaves the factory.
Note: where possible all efforts should be made to
vent the dryer externally to avoid moisture build up
around the dryer.
