Important safety 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 the Air Dry cycle.

A clothes dryer produces combustible lint and must be exhausted outdoors. Take care to prevent the accumulation of lint around the exhaust opening and in the surrounding area.

Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or personal injury.

To reduce the risk of fire in a tumble dryer the following should be observed:

Do not place items in a tumble dryer that have previously been cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spot cleaned with flammable liquids or solids. They are a fire or explosion hazard. Highly flammable substances commonly used in domestic environments include acetone, denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some brands of spot removers and dry cleaning solvents, turpentine, waxes, wax removers, vegetable oil, fish oil, massage oil, and cooking oil. Do not leave hot oil-affected items in a pile or stack. This can prevent heat from escaping and can create a fire hazard. 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. Do not use heat to dry items containing rubber, foam rubber, plastic or similar materials, (such as padded bras, bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby pants, plastic bags, pillows etc), as these materials might melt or burn. Some rubber materials when heated can under certain circumstances produce fire by spontaneous combustion. Dry only on the AIR DRY cycle. Unless specifically recommended by their manufacturer, do not use fabric softeners or similar products in a tumble dryer. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable gases and liquids near this or any other appliance. Keep the area around and underneath your dryer free from the accumulation of combustible materials such as lint, paper, rags, chemicals etc. Do not store any items that may burn or melt (such as paper materials, plastics or plastic containers etc) next to the dryer. Empty the lint bucket before the lint reaches the top of the transparent section (usually once a week). The dryer must be exhausted to the outside. Carefully follow the venting details in the Installation instructions. Keep the floor around your dryer clean and dry to reduce the possibility of slipping. If your dryer is running and you want to unload or add clothes, press START/PAUSE and wait until the machine has unlocked the lid. Do not force it open.

Important safety instructions

Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving. Close supervision is necessary if this dryer is used by or near children. Do not allow children to play inside, around or with this dryer or any other appliance. Never climb on, climb into, or stand on the dryer top, lid or drum. Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed directly in the dryer. Damage to the dryer can result if the metal reinforcements come loose during drying. The interior of the appliance and exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded remove the lid and the drum door to the drying compartment.

WARNING!

Fire Hazard

The dryer must be vented to the outdoors.

Use rigid or thick wall flexible metal exhaust duct.

Do not use a plastic exhaust duct.

Do not use a metal foil exhaust duct.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire.

The dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors. This will prevent the build up of lint and moisture in the room in which it is located and reduce the risk of fire.

This appliance must always be vented to the outdoors.

Exhaust ducting products can be purchased from your local Appliance store or Hardware store.

Plastic or metal foil flexible duct can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce airflow, extend drying times and affect dryer operation.

A minimum of 4 inch (100 mm) thick wall flexible metal or rigid galvanised metal duct must be used. Using ducts larger than 4 inches (100 mm) diameter may result in more lint accumulating.

Using straight rigid metal ducting will minimize lint accumulation. Thick wall flexible metal ducting may be used but care must be exercised to avoid sharp bends which may squash the duct and cause blockages. Do not use plastic ducting or thin wall flexible metal ducting.

Use duct tape to secure joints. Do not use screws as they collect lint.

Keep ducting as short and straight as possible. Do not exceed the maximum exhaust duct lengths stated later in these installation instructions.

Do not exhaust the dryer into any other duct, chimney or gas vent, a wall, a ceiling or any concealed space in a building. Do not exhaust the dryer under a house or mobile home or a porch, or into a window well or other area that will accumulate lint.

The exhaust duct should end with an exhaust hood with a swing out damper to prevent back drafts and entry of wild life. Never use exhaust hoods with a magnetic damper. The hood should have at least 12 inches (305 mm) clearance between the bottom of the hood and the ground or other obstruction. The hood opening should point down. Never install a screen over the exhaust outlet.

Fig.9 Exhaust hood minimum ground clearance

12” (305 mm)

Installation instructions

Exhausting

To reduce condensation, insulate any ducting which passes through unheated areas. Slope the duct gently downwards to the hood, to drain condensation and reduce lint build up. Avoid sag or loops in the duct as they may collect and store water and accumulate lint.

Before using an existing exhaust duct system for a dryer ensure that:

No plastic or other potentially combustible duct or flexible metal foil ducting has been used. The duct is not pierced, kinked or crushed. The duct does not exceed the maximum recommended length for the new dryer. The exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely and with sufficient movement. Static pressure in the exhaust ducting does not exceed 1 inch (250Pa), or is not less than 0

inches of water column (ie. negative pressure), when measured with a manometer in the first 6 inches of the duct, with the dryer running on Air Dry (no heat) setting.

The exhaust duct system meets all relevant local, state and national codes.

All ducting should be inspected and cleaned at least once a year to remove accumulated lint. Frequently check that the damper on the exhaust hood moves sufficiently and opens and shuts freely.

Mobile Home Installations

A Mobile Home Installation Kit is available (see Accessories page 7).

Installation instructions

Exhausting

Choose a route that will provide the straightest and most direct path outdoors. Plan the installation to use the fewest number of elbows and turns.

When using elbows (rigid duct) or making turns (thick wall flexible metal duct), allow as much room as possible. With thick wall flexible metal duct bend duct gradually to avoid kinking and avoid 90˚ turns.

recommended acceptable

Fig.12 Duct configurations

Maximum length of exhaust duct

The maximum length of the exhaust duct system depends upon:

The type of ducts (rigid or thick walled flexible metal). The number of elbows or bends used.

Refer to the exhaust duct length chart that matches your hood type for the maximum duct

lengths you can use. Do not use duct runs longer than specified in the exhaust duct length charts (refer to page 15).

Exhaust duct systems longer than specified will:

Accumulate lint creating a potential fire hazard. Shorten the life of the dryer. Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and an increased energy usage.

Determine the number of elbows/bends you will need.

In the column listing the type of metal duct you are using (rigid or thick wall flexible metal), find

the maximum length of metal duct on the same line as the number of elbows/bends to be used (refer to page 15).

Features

Smart loading

The new ergonomic design of this dryer means less bending. Simply move clothes from the washer to the dryer with minimal effort.

Superior clothes care

Superior clothes care is accomplished by an efficient high airflow fan and careful heat control. The AeroSmart dryer provides the right heat for temperature sensitive delicate articles while still efficiently drying more robust regular and denim loads.

Reverse action tumbling

The drum reverses regularly, so your clothes dry more evenly without roping or tangling.

Lint bucket

The lint filter is automatically scraped clean during the drying cycle and the lint is deposited into the lint bucket. No touching or scraping lint any more. Airflow is more efficient as it is never restricted by a blocked filter.

Perfect with the Fisher & Paykel AquaSmart™ washer

The dryer combined with the AquaSmart™ washer’s superior spin performance and quick cycle times will cut laundry turn around time by up to one third, reducing the time you spend doing laundry.

Stainless steel drum

Being stainless steel, this drum is not only more hygienic, it’s also more resilient and easier to keep looking good.

feedback on what your AeroSmart dryer is doing and how long the cycle has to go, to keep you

informed throughout the process. The screen will also display messages to help you with the

overall running of your dryer.

Using your dryer

Check the care labels inside the garments to determine whether the garment manufacturer

recommends tumble-drying.

Sorting

It is best that you sort your garments before placing them into the

dryer. Sort into loads of similar types, and loads that take similar times

to dry.

Heavier items (eg towels, t-shirts and flannel sheets) are best dried

separately from lightweight items (eg synthetics, poly-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.

For best results match your load to the drying cycles offered to ensure the best drying of your

items (for more information on drying cycles available refer to page 43).

Drying your clothes as soon as the washer has finished will decrease the chance of wrinkles and

the chance of dye transfer from colored items to white items.

We recommend that articles of clothing with screen-printing are turned inside out to ensure the

screen-printing does not stick to the drum. Garments with hooks or zippers need to be fastened

and where possible turned inside out. Place undergarments in a net bag to provide protection

from other items in the load.

Fig.41 Sort before loading

Garments need to be loaded correctly to reduce the likelihood

of them wrinkling and to ensure the load is dried evenly. Make

sure there is ample room for the garments to tumble freely while

drying. Load in terms of the space the garments take up when

dry, rather than when they are wet.

The general rule is one wash load = one dryer load.

Only load the dryer up to the top of the transparent section of

the lint bucket. Loading any higher may result in uneven drying,

tangling, wrinkling and the dryer becoming overloaded.

It is a good idea to dry ‘permanent press’ type garments together

using the EASY IRON cycle, which has the WRINKLE FREE option

turned on. This will help reduce wrinkles and the need for ironing.

Load no higher than here

Fig.42 Maximum loading level

Using your dryer

Lint bucket

The AeroSmart dryer’s lint removal system is unique.

Unlike other dryers, the AeroSmart dryer automatically

removes the lint for you, from the lint screen – all you

have to do is tip the lint out!

The lint filter is hidden behind the lint bucket. As the air

passes through this filter the lint is caught on the fine

mesh. Once the lint is about ⁄” (2 mm) thick it comes into

contact with a scraper which deposits it into the bucket.

This process is automatically performed every time lint

builds up on the filter.

Apart from the benefit of not having to scrape the lint

after every cycle, it also means the drying efficiency is not

affected by lint build-up during the drying cycle.

The lint bucket is located inside the dryer on the left-hand

side. You can remove it by gently pulling the handle and

lifting outwards. It slots easily back into place.

This lint bucket does not need to be cleaned as regularly

as other dryer’s lint filters. The lint bucket only needs to

be emptied before the lint reaches the top of the

transparent section.

Fig.43 Removing lint bucket

Empty before this level is reached

Fig.44 Maximum lint level

Important!

It is important that you run your dryer with the lint bucket in place at all times.

Auto Sensing

Auto sensing is automatically selected when your AeroSmart dryer is turned on. AeroSmart’s internal computer automatically measures the moisture content of the load and will turn off when it senses that the clothes have reached the designated dryness level.

Using the Auto sensing capability of your dryer will ensure the best possible drying result.

Timed Dry

Timed Dry allows you to select from three time periods – 20, 40 and 80 minutes. A cooling period of 10 minutes is also included in the 80 and 40 minute cycles and a 5 minute cool down is included in the 20 minute cycle.

If you choose to select Timed Dry, please note that the dryer will not sense when your clothes are dry. This may increase the chance of over-drying. We recommend that you dry your clothes for a slightly shorter time than you think they need, or check on them regularly (to avoid overdrying).

Auto sensing often provides the best drying results and can lead to lower energy costs when compared to using the Timed Dry option.

Dryness Level (How dry?)

AeroSmart offers 5 dryness levels to choose from. This allows you to customise how dry you would like your load to be at the end of the cycle, when using the Auto sensing option.

Damp

Garments are considered ‘moist’

Suitable for delicate, light-weight fabrics, and garments which you may wish to iron dry

If items are still damp, or too dry at the conclusion of the cycle, next time try adjusting the

dryness level to customise it to your personal preference.

Damp+ (Damp/Dry)

Dry

Garments are considered ‘dry’

Designed to provide items dry enough to be worn immediately

For all 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 that the load sits no higher than the top of the lint bucket before you close the lid.

Comforters / Sleeping Bags / Pillows:

It is a good idea to check your comforter throughout the cycle to ensure even drying.

Reposition if necessary. If the comforter contains feathers place a heavy item (eg a towel tied in

a knot) to help fluff the feathers.

Blankets / Throws:

For best results include 4 – 5 medium sized towels in the dryer with the blanket for cushioning.

This will help to reduce shrinkage from over tumbling. When drying more than one blanket,

check that there is enough room for them to tumble easily. At the end of the cycle remove the

blanket, shake and if necessary stretch the blanket back to its original shape.

operating. However if it does not automatically open, first close the lid and start the dryer in the

usual manner, after 5 seconds press START/PAUSE. This will cause AeroSmart to open correctly

with the lid unlocked.

If it is absolutely necessary to remove some items before power is

restored follow the steps below:

Ensure the dryer is disconnected from the power supply.

Open the lid (this will already be unlocked).

On the left hand side of the dryer there is a thumb tab that appears

when the drum is closed. Press the thumb tab, while rotating the drum

by hand away from you (push the drum towards the back of the dryer).

Hold the thumb tab down until the drum starts opening.

Keep rotating the drum until it is fully open and it comes to a stop.

Now you can remove items from the dryer drum.

Close the lid once you have removed desired items.

Re-connect the power supply to your dryer.

The drum door will automatically close and the dryer will resume

normal operation when power is restored.

Hold thumb tab down

Settings Menu

After using your AeroSmart dryer you may wish to fine-tune some of the options to suit your

individual needs. Any options changed in this menu are a permanent change, unless ‘Reset

Defaults’ is selected (refer to page 55).

To access the Settings Menu:

Turn your AeroSmart dryer on.

Scroll, to the right, through the drying cycles until you reach the Settings Menu.

Press SELECT to enter the menu.

Alarm Beeps

The number of beeps that signal the end of the cycle can be altered. Choose between no beeps, five or fifteen beeps.

Screen Brightness

You can adjust the brightness of your screen to suit your individual needs.

Key Lock mode

Key lock automatically locks the buttons on your AeroSmart when not in use. This will avoid accidental button pushes from items left on the lid of the dryer and also from any little fingers.

To turn Key Lock Mode ON or OFF:

Access the Settings Menu (refer above). Scroll to the KEY LOCK MODE option, and press SELECT. Use the SCROLL buttons to select ON or OFF. Press SELECT to confirm your selection and return to the Settings Menu.

If Key Lock mode is switched ON:

To turn your dryer on, push and hold the POWER button for 3 seconds. This will activate the display panel. You will then be able to select your drying option and press START. The buttons will then be locked. To PAUSE your dryer at any time during the cycle, press the PAUSE button twice. This will allow you access to the Cycle Options, then press START to restart your cycle. The buttons will then lock. To STOP your dryer and power off, press the POWER button twice.

If you can’t remember how to unlock the buttons, press any button and the display screen will remind you.

Settings Menu

Reminders

How many times have you taken your clothes out of the dryer and realised that you forgot to add the softener sheet when you started the cycle? Or forgotten to remove your delicates half way through the cycle and now they are ruined?

AeroSmart has three helpful automatic reminders to help you to remember those important tasks.

1. Remove Delicates Early

Your dryer will beep and display a message when it senses that the load is nearly dry. You will then be able to remove delicate items and the rest of the load will continue through the remainder of the cycle.

2. Add Softener Sheets

Reminds you to add softener sheets to your load at the beginning of each cycle.

3. Empty Lint Bucket

After every fifth cycle you will be prompted to remove the lint from the lint bucket to keep your dryer clean and lint free.

Hints

Hints screens are provided to help to explain each of the drying choices. Your AeroSmart comes with these hints programmed ON. When you become more experienced with the way your machine functions, you may wish to turn these hints OFF. To do this access the SETTINGS MENU, select HINTS and scroll to OFF. Press the SELECT button to confirm your choice.

Language

AeroSmart is clever enough to be able to communicate in more than one language.

To change the language setting:

Scroll to the right of the display screen until you reach the SETTINGS MENU. Use the SELECT button to confirm your selection.

Scroll to the LANGUAGE option and press SELECT.

Scroll through the language options available and press SELECT to choose your preferred language. Your setting will then be saved.

If you wish to change the language the dryer is set to in the future, repeat steps 1 – 3.

Settings Menu

Service Contacts

In the first instance please refer to “Before You Call for Service” on page 57 for help to try and solve any problem you may encounter. If your problem persists, this option will direct you to the appropriate contact details for help or service.

Trouble Shooting

Help with some of the more common issues you may encounter.

Reset Defaults

If you would like to re-set all settings back to those that were set when your AeroSmart left the factory select RESET FACTORY DEFAULTS.

Replay Intro

This option allows you to replay the introduction explanation for your dryer. This is great for a new user who may not be sure how to use their dryer or what features the dryer has to offer.

Caring for your Aerosmart dryer

Cleaning

Clean your dryer with a soft damp cloth and wipe dry. Do not use scouring cleaners as they can damage the paint and plastic surfaces.

Removing the Lid

You can remove the lid for cleaning. Open the lid fully, hold one side with one hand and tap the other side with an upwards motion. To replace the lid, hold the lid vertically and align both hinges before clicking back into place.

Pre-Treatment Sprays

Do not use pre-treatment sprays or liquids on or near your dryer as they can damage your machine’s control panel as well as any of its plastic parts. Damage to your dryer caused by pretreatment products will not be covered by your warranty.

Fig.48 Removing the lid

Stains

If stains appear inside the drum of your machine, mix a detergent and water paste (or use a nonflammable liquid cleaner) and wipe over the stain with a soft cloth. Then tumble old towels for 20 – 40 minutes on the AIR DRY setting to remove all traces of the cleaner.

Lint Bucket

The lint bucket will need to be emptied before the lint reaches the top of the transparent section. A lint bucket that is not full ensures your clothes will remain lint-free and your dryer will operate at maximum efficiency.

Venting

Inspect and clean all ducting at least once a year to remove accumulated lint. Check frequently that any damper on the exhaust hood moves sufficiently and opens and shuts freely.

Ensure that the area around the dryer is kept clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors or liquids. Ensure also that the dyer area is kept clear and free from items that would obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

Before you call for service

Your AeroSmart dryer is capable of diagnosing its own troubles. If your dryer is displaying a

message on the display screen and is sounding a musical series of beeps every 5 seconds, it

has a problem that you may be able to solve using the checklist below. (It’s the same sound

AeroSmart dryer makes when you plug it in).

If you are unable to solve the problem from the checklist below call for service.

Machine is beeping and … “I can’t LOCK THE LID”

Close the lid and press START/PAUSE. If the lid is already closed, open the lid and close it again, then press START/PAUSE. Disconnect from the power (either by unplugging the dryer or turning off the circuit

breaker that supplies it). Wait 10 seconds, reconnect and try turning it on again.

Machine is beeping and… “I can’t CLOSE THE DRUM”

The machine is unable to close the drum due to clothes interfering with the closing mechanism. Remove any articles that are interfering with the drum door and dry these in the next load.

Is your load higher than the top of the lint bucket? Remove some articles and dry these in the next load.

If your dryer is continually beeping and a message is displayed on the screen, a fault has occurred which requires repair from a Service Agent.

Pressing the POWER button once will stop the beeping but will still display the fault code. We

recommend leaving the machine in this mode as the fault code will enable the service person

to quickly identify the cause of the problem.

Single beep every second and …

“I need SERVICE” message and fault number.

1. Turn your machine off at the wall.

2. Wait 1 minute and turn it back on.

3. Check your machine is level (refer to installation instructions pages 7 – 31).

4. Remove load and retry.

5. If the fault re-occurs repeat steps 1 and 2.

If the machine still will not work, call your Fisher & Paykel Dealer or Authorised Service Agent to

arrange service (refer to page 62).

Solving operating problems

Pressing POWER does not turn the dryer on

Is the electrical cord plugged in? If not plug the cord in. If there is a switch, is it switched on? Could your household power supply be at fault? (If your plug is suitable, try plugging another

electrical appliance into the same outlet). Check your house circuit breakers and fuses. If they are at fault contact an electrician.

Dryer does not heat

Is the dryer set to the AIR DRY cycle? Is the gas turned on? (Gas/LPG dryers only). Has the dryer progressed to COOLING. (Check the Display Screen). If the problem persists call for service.

Clothes are still wet/damp

Is the dryer set on DAMP? Try selecting a higher dryness level. Is the drum warm? If not, is the dryer set to the AIR DRY cycle? If you have a gas dryer, is the gas turned on? Is your LPG bottle empty? Try drying similar weight clothes together. If the problem persists call for service.

Pressing START/PAUSE does not start the dryer

Is the lid open? Shut the lid and press START/PAUSE. Is there a fault displayed on the display screen? Refer to page 57, – Before you call for service.

Dryer is taking a long time to dry

Is the lint bucket full? If so empty it to improve performance. Is the airflow system free from obstruction? If you have a gas dryer, is the gas turned on? Is your LPG bottle empty? Has the dryer been vented correctly? Is the venting distance too great? Is the machine over-loaded? Have heavyweight items been separated from lightweight items? Are the clothes very wet when they are removed from the washing machine? Increase your

washer’s spin speed. Are you using the AIR DRY cycle?

Dryer keeps stopping and starting

Your dryer has a reverse action tumble. When it changes direction it will pause momentarily and will start again in the opposite direction, this is normal.

Has WRINKLE FREE been selected?

Solving drying problems

Linting Problems

Is the lint bucket full? When lint reaches the top of the transparent section of the bucket it needs emptying.

Have you separated lint-shedding garments (eg towels) from lint receiving garments (eg synthetics).

Have you checked your pockets for tissues or other items that could have been left in them? Have you over-loaded your dryer? Over-loading can result in linting problems due to reduced

airflow and lint not being able to collect on the filter. Have you over-dried your load? Over-drying can cause lint-attracting static electricity. Try a

lower Dryness Setting or use AUTO-SENSING instead of TIME DRY. Is the lint bucket in place?

Static problems

Have your clothes been over-dried? Choose a lower dryness setting. Have you used fabric softener? Place fabric softener sheets in the dryer.

Items shrinking

Has the load been over-dried? Choose a lower dryness setting. Is tumble-drying recommended? Check care labels inside garments. If you selected TIME DRY - did you set it to dry for too long? Has the correct temperature been used to dry the garment? Check the care label.

Clothes are wrinkled

Does the load sit higher than the lint bucket? Your dryer is over-loaded, decrease the load size.

Did you remove your clothes as soon as the dryer was finished? Use the WRINKLE FREE option, if you cannot return to the dryer in time.

Have your clothes been over-dried? Select a lower dryness level. Check your garments carelabels.

Drum door will not open

Is the electrical cord plugged in? If not, plug the cord in and switch power on. A power failure may have occurred. Please refer to page 52 for more information, or contact

your Fisher & Paykel Authorised Service Agent.

Lid will not open

Is the WRINKLE FREE option selected? Press START/PAUSE to open the lid.

Dryer has stopped during the cycle with the white WRINKLE FREE light illuminated and the LCD screen blank.

Your dryer may be experiencing a low voltage supply. Without enough electricity it cannot function. Once the line voltage returns to normal the dryer will recommence the interrupted cycle. If the problem persists call for service.

Instrucciones de seguridad importantes

¡ADVERTENCIA!

Peligro de descarga eléctrica

Siga las medidas de seguridad indicadas en la presente Guía del Usuario.

El no hacerlo puede causarle la muerte o producir una descarga eléctrica.

Precauciones importantes de seguridad

Lea todas las instrucciones cuidadosamente antes de utilizar esta secadora. Utilice el electrodoméstico para los fines con que fue diseñado, tal como se indica en la Guía del Usuario. Para minimizar el riesgo de descarga eléctrica, desconecte la secadora del tomacorriente o desconecte la secadora desde el panel de distribución doméstico (quitando el fusible o desconectando el interruptor de circuito) antes de cualquier intento de darle mantenimiento o limpieza. La instalación deberá realizarla un contratista calificado o con licencia, plomero o técnico en gas calificado o con licencia emitida por el estado, provincia o región en donde se instale este electrodoméstico. Esta secadora deberá instalarse y colocarse adecuadamente, de acuerdo con el Instructivo de Instalación, antes de utilizarla. Esta secadora deberá aterrizarse a tierra adecuadamente cumpliendo con todos los códigos y reglamentos vigentes. Para más información, consulte el Instructivo de Instalación. No instale o coloque la secadora en un lugar expuesto al agua o a la intemperie. Conéctela a un circuito de corriente eléctrica de resistencia conocida, adecuadamente protegido y de la dimensión apropiada para evitar una sobrecarga eléctrica. No repare o reemplace ninguna de las partes del electrodoméstico o intente darle servicio al menos que se indique expresamente en el instructivo de reparación publicado y que usted entienda. Deberá, además, tener las habilidades necesarias para llevar a cabo la reparación. Al desconectar el electrodoméstico, jale el enchufe en lugar del cable o el empalme del mismo para evitar que el cable, el empalme o el mismo enchufe se dañen. Asegúrese de que el cable se ubique de tal manera que no pueda pisarse, que no sea un obstáculo con el cual pueda tropezarse, que pueda tensarse o en su defecto que pueda dañarse. No juegue con los controles o con la traba de la tapa.

Nota: el presionar el botón POWER [encendido], NO garantiza que el electrodoméstico esté

Esta secadora deberá conectarse directamente a un tomacorriente aprobado y fijo. No debe conectarse a una extensión.

Instrucciones de seguridad importantes

¡ADVERTENCIA!

Peligro de Incendio

Seque únicamente telas que hayan sido lavadas con agua.

No utilice calor para secar artículos que contengan espuma de caucho o materiales de caucho de textura similar. Seque en el ciclo Sec. Aire.

Una secadora de ropa produce pelusa combustible la cual deberá expulsarse al exterior. Tenga cuidado de que no se acumule pelusa en los alrededores de la abertura de extracción y el área circundante.

No utilice suavizantes de tela o productos para eliminar la estática, a menos que lo recomiende el fabricante del suavizante o del producto.

El no seguir estas instrucciones puede dar como resultado la muerte o daños personales.

Para reducir el riesgo de incendio en una secadora de tambor, deberá observar lo siguiente:

No meta prendas en una secadora de tambor que hayan sido lavadas, remojadas o a los que se le hayan aplicado quita manchas a base de líquidos inflamables o sólidos. Esto constituye un peligro latente de incendio o explosión. Las sustancias altamente inflamables utilizadas en ambientes domésticos incluyen acetona, alcohol desnaturalizado, gasolina, queroseno, algunas marcas de quita manchas y solventes para lavado en seco, trementina, ceras, removedores de cera, aceite vegetal, aceite de pescado, aceite para masajes y aceite para cocinar. No deje artículos o prendas que tengan aceite, apilados o amontonados. Esto puede evitar que el calor escape y por lo tanto, provocar un incendio. Los artículos con aceite pueden encenderse espontáneamente, especialmente cuando son expuestos a fuentes de calor, como por ejemplo, una secadora de ropa de tambor. Los artículos se calientan causando una reacción de oxidación en el aceite. Esta oxidación crea calor. Si el calor no puede escapar, las prendas pueden calentarse lo suficientemente como para producir un incendio. No utilice calor para secar artículos que contengan caucho, espuma de caucho, plástico o materiales similares (como sostenes acolchados, tapetes de baño, tapetes, baberos, pantalones de bebé, bolsas de plástico, almohadas, etc.) ya que estos materiales pueden derretirse o quemarse. Algunos materiales de caucho al calentarse, pueden incendiarse en determinadas circunstancias por combustión espontánea. Seque únicamente en el ciclo SEC. AIRE. Al menos que así lo recomiende específicamente el fabricante, no utilice suavizantes de tela o productos similares en una secadora de tambor. No almacene o utilice gasolina u otros gases inflamables y líquidos cerca de este o cualquier otro electrodoméstico. Mantenga el área circundante y por debajo del electrodoméstico libre de cualquier acumulación de materiales combustibles, tales como pelusa, papel, trapos, productos químicos, etc. No almacene ningún artículo que pudiera quemarse o derretirse (como materiales de papel, plásticos o contenedores de plástico, etc.) cerca de la secadora. Vacíe la canastilla para pelusa antes de que ésta llegue a la parte superior de la sección transparente (normalmente una vez a la semana).

Instrucciones de seguridad importantes

La secadora deberá tener extracción hacia el exterior. Siga cuidadosamente la información sobre la ventilación en el Instructivo de Instalación. Mantenga el piso alrededor de la secadora limpio y seco para reducir el riesgo de resbalones. Si su secadora está en marcha y desea descargar o agregar ropa, presione START/PAUSE (inicio/ pausa) y espere hasta que la máquina haya destrabado la tapa. No la fuerce para abrir. No meta la mano a la secadora si el tambor está en movimiento. Supervise de cerca a los niños si éstos utilizan la secadora o si se encuentran cerca de ella cuando esté en marcha. No permita que los niños jueguen ni dentro, ni con la secadora o con cualquier otro electrodoméstico que haya desechado. Nunca se monte o se pare sobre la secadora, sobre la tapa o el tambor. La ropa interior que contenga refuerzos de metal no deberá meterse directamente dentro de la secadora. La secadora puede dañarse si los refuerzos de metal se sueltan durante el proceso de secado. El interior del electrodoméstico y el ducto de extracción deberán limpiarse periódicamente, acción que deberá realizar personal de servicio calificado. Antes de que saque de servicio o deseche el electrodoméstico, quítele la tapa y la puerta del tambor del compartimiento de secado.

Extracción

¡ADVERTENCIA!

Peligro de Incendio

La secadora deberá tener extracción hacia el exterior.

Utilice ductos de extracción rígidos o de metal de pared gruesa flexibles.

No utilice un ducto de extracción de plástico.

No utilice un ducto de extracción revestido de aluminio.

El no seguir estas indicaciones puede causar la muerte o provocar un incendio.

La secadora deberá tener extracción hacia el exterior. Esto evitará la producción de pelusa y

humedad en la habitación en la cual se encuentre, además de que reducirá el riesgo de incendio.

Este electrodoméstico deberá tener ventilación hacia el exterior.

Los ductos de extracción los puede adquirir en su tienda de electrodomésticos local o en una ferretería.

Los ductos flexibles de plástico o metal laminado pueden doblarse, combarse, pueden perforarse,

reducir el flujo de aire, alargar los tiempos de secado y por consiguiente afectar la operación de la

secadora.

Se deberán utilizar ductos de metal flexible de pared gruesa de 4 pulgadas (100 mm) como

mínimo, o ductos de metal galvanizado rígido. Utilizar ductos mayores a 4 pulgadas (100 mm) de

diámetro pudieran provocar la acumulación de más cantidades de pelusa.

Utilizar ductos rectos de metal rígido minimizarán la acumulación de pelusa. Los ductos de metal

flexible de pared gruesa pudieran en su caso utilizarse, sin embargo deberá cuidarse de que no

tengan curvaturas cerradas, lo cual pudiera aplastar el ducto y provocar taponamientos. No utilice

ductos de plástico o ductos metálicos flexibles de pared delgada.

Utilice cinta para ductos para asegurar las uniones. No utilice tornillos ya que estos acumulan pelusa.

Mantenga los ductos los más corto y recto posible. No exceda las longitudes máximas de los

conductos de extracción que se señalan más adelante en estas instrucciones de instalación.

No dirija la extracción de la secadora hacia otro ducto, chimenea o extracción de gas, contra una

pared, techo o cualquier espacio cerrado dentro de un edificio. No descargue la secadora debajo

de la casa o coche-casa, un porche, dentro de un quicio de ventana o hacia alguna otra área en

donde la pelusa pueda acumularse.

El conducto de extracción debe terminar en una campana de

extracción con un amortiguador de corriente invertida de aire

hacia fuera para evitar contracorrientes de aire, y el ingreso

de cualquier tipo de fauna nociva. Nunca utilice campanas de

extracción con un regulador magnético. La campana debe tener

por lo menos 12 pulgadas (305 mm) de separación entre la parte

inferior de la campana y el piso o de cualquier otro obstáculo. La

abertura de la campana debe apuntar hacia abajo. Nunca instale

una malla por delante del orificio de extracción.

Instructivo de instalación

Extracción

Para reducir la condensación, aísle cualquier ducto que pase a través de áreas sin calefacción.

Incline el ducto suavemente hacia abajo en dirección a la campana para drenar la condensación

y reducir la acumulación de pelusa. Evite que el ducto se combe, ya que pudiera acumular y

almacenar agua y pelusa.

Antes de utilizar un sistema de ductos existente para secadora, asegúrese que:

No se utilice plástico o ningún otro ducto potencialmente combustible o de metal flexible. El ducto no esté perforado, doblado o aplastado. El ducto no exceda el largo máximo recomendado para la nueva secadora. El regulador de la campana del ducto de extracción abra y cierre libremente, y que tenga el

movimiento suficiente. La presión estática en los ductos de extracción no exceda 1 pulgada (250Pa), o que no

sea menor a 0 pulgadas de columna de agua (es decir, presión negativa), al medir con un

manómetro en las primeras 6 pulgadas del ducto, con la secadora operando en la configuración

Sec. Aire (sin calor). El sistema de ductos de extracción cumpla con todos los códigos importantes ya sean locales,

estatales y nacionales.

Los ductos deberán revisarse y limpiarse por lo menos una vez al año para quitarles la pelusa

acumulada. Verifique frecuentemente que el regulador en la campana de extracción se mueva lo

suficientemente y abra y cierre libremente.

Instructivo de instalación

Conexión de gas para su secadora (modelos a gas únicamente)

En las roscas macho de todas las conexiones no acampanadas use compuesto o cinta para rosca

apropiada para el tipo de gas que se utilice (gas natural o LP).

Nunca utilice una llama para verificar la existencia de fugas de gas.

Esta secadora operará satisfactoriamente hasta altitudes de 6500 pies (2000 metros) sobre el nivel

del mar, a la clasificación BTU indicada en la placa de modelo/serie. Se necesitará hacer ajustes

del fluido al quemador si se opera por encima de esta altura.

Si lleva a cabo una prueba de presión, deberá desconectar la secadora de la alimentación de gas.

Encendido del gas

Esta secadora cuenta con un sistema de encendido automático para encender el quemador. No

existe una llama piloto ardiendo dentro de la secadora.

Cómo conectarla al suministro de gas

La línea de suministro de gas debe ser de ½ pulgadas.

Hay que instalar una válvula individual manual de paso en la línea de suministro de gas a no más

de 6 pies (1.8 m) de la secadora, de acuerdo con el Código nacional de gas combustible (National

Fuel Gas Code) ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 para los Estados Unidos, o de acuerdo con el Código de

instalación de gas natural y propano (Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code) para Canadá

B149.1

Hay que instalar una toma obturada de / de pulgada NPT para permitir que se pueda verificar

la presión del fluido de gas. Debe ser accesible para la conexión de calibre de prueba e

Instructivo de instalación

Conexión de gas para su secadora (modelos a gas únicamente)

Deberá utilizarse un conector que cumpla con las especificaciones ANSI Z21.24/CSA6.10 para

conectar la secadora con el suministro de gas.

Si se utiliza una tubería flexible, se debe instalar un codo en la tubería en la parte trasera de la

secadora al cual deberá conectarse la tubería flexible. Esto minimizará el daño al tubo al mover

hacia atrás la secadora. Utilice un juego de conexión de tubería flexible que haya sido diseñado

para ser utilizado en una secadora de ropa. Este juego debe contar con las uniones necesarias

para conectar a los extremos de la tubería. Asegúrese de seguir todas las instrucciones que

vienen con el juego.

Para gas natural no se debe utilizar una tubería de cobre, y si se la usa para gas LP, deberá ser

compatible con gas LP.

Desconecte y deseche la tubería flexible vieja.

El tubo de gas que sale en la parte trasera de su secadora tiene una rosca de ⁄” NPT. Retire la tapa

protectora y aplique el sellador o cinta a la rosca. El sellador de rosca debe ser apropiado para el

tipo de gas que vaya a utilizar.

Cómo completar la conexión

Utilice llaves inglesas para ajustar todas las juntas, pero no las ajuste demasiado.

Abra la válvula de suministro de gas y verifique todas las juntas cepillándolas con una solución no

corrosiva para detectar fugas. La aparición de burbujas indicará fugas. Si existiera alguna fuga,

cierre inmediatamente la válvula y corrija las fugas. Vuelva a comprobar y repita hasta que no

existan más fugas.

Instructivo de instalación

Nivelación de la secadora

Dibujo 37 Nivelación de la secadora

Verifique que la secadora se encuentre nivelada, y realice los ajustes necesarios a las patas

niveladoras delanteras. Las patas niveladoras traseras se ajustan automáticamente.

Lista final de comprobación de la instalación

Verifique que:

No se utilice plástico o metal flexible delgado en los conductos de extracción. La extracción se realice por medio de conductos rígidos o conductos de metal flexible de pared

gruesa. Todas las juntas de los conductos tengan cinta adhesiva industrial. No estén conectados o unidos

con tornillos ni con otros dispositivos de ajuste que se extiendan hacia el interior del conducto. Los conductos estén limpios y conectados a la secadora. Las patas delanteras tengan los accesorios de inserción. La secadora está nivelada a lo largo de su frente.

Además, para modelos de secadoras eléctricas únicamente, verifique que:

Si la instalación es de 208 V, se le haya instalado un juego de resistencias especial (véase página 85). La secadora esté enchufada directamente a un tomacorriente aprobado y que se encuentre

conectada a tierra correctamente. La secadora arranque, se caliente, se enfríe y se apague. El cliente sepa como utilizar la secadora.

Además, para modelos de secadoras a gas únicamente, verifique que:

La secadora esté enchufada directamente a un tomacorriente aprobado y que se encuentre

conectada a tierra correctamente. Todos los tubos de unión en la línea de gas se hayan verificado para evitar fugas de gas. La temperatura de extracción se incremente, confirmando así que esté encendida.

– Si no se enciende al inicio, se deberá a la presencia de aire en la línea de gas o al bajo voltaje del

suministro eléctrico.

– La válvula reguladora de gas pudiera no abrir si la corriente eléctrica cae por debajo de los 105

voltios.

– Si el gas no fluye o si no se enciende, la secadora se apagará automáticamente.

El cliente sepa como utilizar la secadora.

Nota: Todas las secadoras poseen la característica de rotación del tambor en sentido inverso para

reducir el riesgo de que la ropa se enrede. A lo largo del ciclo de secado, el motor operará durante

cuatro minutos, luego se detendrá y operará en la dirección opuesta durante cuarenta segundos

antes de volver a cambiar el sentido.

Características

Carga inteligente

El nuevo diseño ergonómico de esta secadora implica que uno deba agacharse menos. Mueva simplemente la ropa desde la lavadora hasta la secadora con un mínimo de esfuerzo.

Cuidado óptimo de la ropa

El óptimo cuidado de la ropa se logra gracias a un ventilador de flujo de aire altamente eficiente y un cuidadoso control del calor. Su AeroSmart brinda por un lado, el calor correcto para artículos delicados y sensibles a la temperatura, secando en forma eficiente por el otro, cargas normales más voluminosas y de ropa de mezclilla.

Acción del Tambor en sentido inverso

El tambor rota en sentido inverso regularmente, para que sus prendas se sequen de forma más uniforme sin enredarse.

Canastilla de Pelusa

El filtro de pelusa se limpia automáticamente por raspado durante el ciclo de secado y la pelusa se deposita en la canastilla de pelusa. Ya no es necesario tocar ni raspar la pelusa. El flujo de aire es más eficiente ya que su paso nunca se bloquea debido un filtro tapado.

Todo a la perfección con la lavadora Fisher & Paykel AquaSmart™

La secadora, combinada con el desempeño de centrifugado superior y tiempos de ciclo rápidos de la lavadora AquaSmart™, acortará el tiempo total del lavado hasta en un tercio, reduciendo así el tiempo que usted dedica a lavar ropa
