INTRODUCTION
Welcome to your new heat pump clothes dryer
Thank you for purchasing a Fisher & Paykel clothes dryer. We are proud of this dryer
andtrust it will serve you well for many years.
At Fisher & Paykel we aim to provide innovative products that are simple to use,
ergonomic, energy efficient and kind to the environment. Thousands of tonnes of
laundry and 80 years of experience have been programmed into your dryer tohelp
giveyou the best possible performance.
Your dryer has the benefit of heat pump technology, which allows clothes to be dried
atlower temperatures, improving clothes care while saving energy. This dryer also
hasthe advantage of not needing to be vented outside, instead it condenses the
moisture from the clothes and collects this in a water tank, or for convenience, can
pump it directly into a drain.
Your new dryer gives you the convenience of tumble drying and your clothes the
advantage of not being subjected to the harsh over drying effects of the sun.
Yourclothes will feel softer, retain their shape and require less ironing. This dryer has
been specifically designed to complement our front loading Fisher&Paykel washers.
Your heat pump dryer has numerous cycles and options so you can perform every
drying task (including flat drying) with ease, allowing you to spend less time in the
laundry. With the ability to automatically sense when your clothes are dry, your dryer
ismore efficient, making it kinder on your wallet and the environment.
Please take the time to read these instructions carefully before you begin using your
dryer. Following the advice in this User guide will ensure you get the performance you
expect from your dryer. Keep these instructions for future reference and pass them on
with your dryer, if it changes hands.
We hope you enjoy your new dryer. We have certainly enjoyed designing it for you.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
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.

Levelling the machine
It is IMPORTANT to level the machine to ensure the machine runs efficiently with
minimal noise. The dryer should be levelled in as close to its final position as possible
so it stands balanced evenly on all four feet. Ensure the dryer does not rock in
anydirection.
The dryer comes with four adjustable feet. Wind all
four feet up or down until the dryer is correctly level.
Aspirit level can assist with this process. Themachine
is considered level when the bubble sits in the centre
(iewithin the two lines or the circle), when the spirit level
is placed flat on top of your dryer, in the directions from:
1 left to right
2 back to front, and
3 corner to corner.
Never unscrew the feet completely from their housings.
Note: After levelling, the corners of the dryer cabinet should be clear of the floor
andthemachine must not rock in any direction.

Connecting the drain hose:
1 Remove the black hose from the connection at the back of the dryer (A).
2 Uncoil the drain hose (included with your dryer) and connect it to the black hose(B).
3 Place the other end of the drain hose into a tub or standpipe.
If you connect the drain hose onto your dryer, the other end must be secured in a drain
to prevent water draining onto the floor. Ensure the drain hose is securely fixed in
place to an appropriate drain and is leak-free at the connection to the machine. Check
the connection and drain hose regularly.
z
Maximum standpipe height is 1m from ground level.
z
Regularly check that your standpipe or tub is free from lint and other obstructions,
which may affect drainage and cause flooding.
z
The drain hose should be checked from time to time and replaced if any damage,
egwear, cuts, bulges, kinks, leaks, etc are found. Do not bend the drain hose sharply,
asthismay cause it to split.
z
The extended length of the provided drain hose is 1.3m.
z
In multi-storey apartments or any upper floor, the machine should be installed on
afloorequipped with a drain.
z
Draining must comply with local by-laws.

SORTING AND LOADING
When preparing your load there are some important things to consider:
Sorting
z
We recommend sorting your garments before placing them into the dryer.
Sortintoloads of similar items, and loads that will likely 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
thepossibility of some items becoming over-dried whilst others are still damp.
Itwillalso help to extend the lifeofyour clothing and linen.
z
Care labels on garments provide valuable information about the fabric type and
howthegarment should be dried. Always follow the advice on garment labels.
Onlydryitems in this dryer that have a care label stating tumble drying is suitable.
z
Drying your clothes as soon as you remove them from the washer will decrease
thechance of wrinkles forming, and dye transfer from coloured items to white items
fromoccurring.
z
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.
z
We recommend that articles of clothing with screen-printing are turned inside out
toprevent damage to the print. Garments with hooks or zippers should be fastened
andwhere possible, turned inside out.

SORTING AND LOADING
Before you load
z
Check pockets for items that could damage your clothes or get caught in the dryer.
z
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.
z
Check the lint filter is clean and the water tank is empty (if the dryer is not set up
todrain automatically).
Loading
Garments need to be loaded correctly to minimise creasing and wrinkling,
andtoensurethe load is dried evenly.
z
Allow enough room in the dryer for clothes to tumble freely.
– Hint: load the dryer in terms of the space the garments take up when dry,
z
z
z
z
ratherthanwhen they are wet.
Shake clothes out and load individually to help items dry evenly and reduce tangling.
Only dry a sheet load up to a maximum of 4kg in the dryer at one time.
Dry permanent press garments (business shirts) together on the ‘Easy Iron’ cyclewith
the ‘Wrinkle Free’ option on. This will help reduce wrinkling and the need forironing.
Hang garments as soon as the drying cycle is complete to reduce the need for ironing.
17
SORTING AND LOADING
Drying times
z
Drying very small loads is inefficient. Try to dry medium to large loads.
z
Heavier items (towels, flannelette sheets) will take longer to dry than light items
(synthetics and polyester cotton sheets and shirts).
z
Drying times can be reduced by spinning the wash load at the highest spin speed
suitable for the load type in your washing machine.
z
Check bulky items during the cycle to ensure even drying, pause the dryer and
reposition the item if necessary.
Lint
Some items are lint givers, while others are lint collectors. Always dry lint givers
and collectors separately.
LINT GIVERSLINT COLLECTORS
TowelsSynthetics eg polar fleece
Flannelette sheetsCorduroy
Polyester cottons
Delicate or easily damaged items (eg woollen, nylon stockings, fine fabrics, delicate
embroidered fabrics) should be dried separately, using the ‘Delicate’ cycle, or if you do
not want them tumbled use the ‘Wool’ or ‘Rack Dry’ cycle. Sleepingbags and other
down items should be dried on the ‘Bulky’ cycle.
Drying rack
There are many items that would benefit from being
dried on a dryingrack. For example items such as
sport shoes, soft toys, hats andwoollen items that
may be damaged if they are tumbled.
A drying rack is installed in your dryer when it leaves
the factory. Toremove it, tilt the top of the rack
towards you to detach the legs fromthe slots in the
lint filter, and gently remove from the drum.
When you are using the drying rack you must select
the ‘Rack Dry’ or ‘Wool’ cycle.
If the Rack is not properly installed or if a garment
has fallen from it, a user prompt will appear on the
digital display screen. Replace the Rack and touch
the to resumethecycle.
