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.

WARNING!
Fire Hazard
The dryer must be vented to the outdoors.
Use rigid or thick wall flexible metal exhaust duct only.
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 exhaust must be vented 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.
Exhaust ducting products can be purchased from your local Appliance store or Hardware store.
Never use plastic or metal foil flexible duct. This ducting 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. In Canada, the exhaust duct must be 4.02 inches (102 mm) in diameter.
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.
Use duct tape to secure joints. Do not use screws or any other fastening device which will extend into the duct, as they will collect lint.
Keep ducting as short and straight as possible. Do not exceed the maximum exhaust duct lengths stated later in these installation instructions. The total length of flexible metal duct used should be no longer than 94.5 inches (2.4 m).
Do not vent the dryer into any other duct, chimney or gas vent because accumulated lint and other material is a potential fire hazard. Do not vent the dryer into any ceiling, attic, crawl space, under-floor space, wall cavity, window well or any other concealed cavity that will accumulate lint.
Fit an exhaust hood with a swing-out damper to the outside end of the exhaust duct 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
Venting
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 of water column (250Pa), or is not less than 0 inches of water column (ie. negative pressure), when measured with a manometer in the 6 inches of the duct nearest the dryer, with the empty 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.

Using your dryer
Check the care labels inside the garments to determine whether the garment manufacturer
recommends tumble-drying.
37
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
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).
41
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.

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.

Lifestyle cycles
Family
Some common household laundry situations may require extra knowledge. We have created six
unique FAMILY cycles to help you with those tricky situations.
Comforter
Bulky items like Comforters can be tricky to dry due to their thickness. The Comforter cycle has been designed to cope with bulky bedding. There are two Comforter types to choose from – Feather or Synthetic.
Important!
It is important that before placing a comforter into the dryer you check the care label to see if it suitable to be tumble dried.
Feather Comforters
This autosensing, low heat cycle is designed to ensure the best results for feather Comforters. Feathers tend to bunch when washed, so we recommend that when drying that you place a heavy item (eg a towel tied in a knot) in with the load to help fluff the feathers up.
Synthetic Comforters

This cycle has been developed to compliment the Allergy wash in the AquaSmart™ washer. It is recommended for allergy sufferers, as well as for peace of mind in times of family illness. Allergy uses a high heat to ensure that dust mites and bacteria populations are decimated. It has been designed primarily for sheets and everyday clothing, and is not recommended for garments that are heat sensitive.
Shirts
This medium heat, autosensing cycle is ideal for business and dress shirts. The WRINKLE FREE feature is automatically activated to reduce wrinkling and the need to iron.
Towels

Lifestyle cycles
Sports
Outdoor activities can create some unique laundry challenges. We have created four helpful
cycles to quickly deal with these situations, with no thinking required.
Sportswear Light
This autosensing cycle uses a low heat to gently dry light synthetic sportswear garments.
Important!
Use of fabric softener may block the performance enhancing features of high­tech sportswear fabrics eg breathability and moisturewicking. Check the care label before drying.
Sportswear Heavy
This extended autosensing, high heat cycle takes care of durable heavy cotton sportswear garments with thick and bulky seams.
Outdoor Wear
Outdoor wear provides a cool cycle ideal for drying high performance fabrics and outdoor items eg waterproof jackets. Please check the care label first.
Protection Equipment
This 40 minute, low heat cycle gently dries padded sports protection items eg gloves and pads. Repeat cycle if necessary.
Care labels
Below is a selection of care label symbols that garment manufacturers use to show how their
garments should be dried. We’ve converted these symbols into the cycles and heat settings that
we recommend you use in the AeroSmart dryer. By following our recommendations, you can

safety for you and your family while it is
operating. This lock ensures the lid cannot
be opened while the drum is rotating.
Fig.45 Lid locked
A lidlock symbol (padlock) appears in the corner of the screen when locked (it disappears when
unlocked). If the lidlock symbol is flashing the lid is in the process of being unlocked. During this
stage, the lid still cannot be lifted.
The lid must be closed before the drying cycle can start. If START/
PAUSE is pressed with the lid open, the machine will beep and a
message will appear in the display screen saying “I can’t LOCK THE LID.
Close lid and press START.”, to signal that the lid needs to be closed.
Once the lid has been closed and START/PAUSE is pressed, the LID
LOCK will be activated and the drying cycle will begin.
Fig.46 Lid lock mechanism
Power Failure
If the power is cut while your AeroSmart dryer is operating, the lid will be unlocked. In some
circumstances the drum door may not be automatically opened. If this occurs it is best if the
dryer is not interfered with. When the power is restored the dryer will automatically resume
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:
1
Ensure the dryer is disconnected from the power supply.
2
Open the lid (this will already be unlocked).
3
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).
4
Hold the thumb tab down until the drum starts opening.
5
Keep rotating the drum until it is fully open and it comes to a stop.
6
Now you can remove items from the dryer drum.
7
Close the lid once you have removed desired items.
8
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.

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.

Scroll to the right of the display screen until you reach the SETTINGS MENU. Use the SELECT button to confirm your selection.
2
Scroll to the LANGUAGE option and press SELECT.

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.
57
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 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.
