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
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.
