Caring For Your Dryer
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.
Before you start cleaning your AeroCare dryer, ensure that it is
disconnected from the power (ie remove the plug from the power
outlet), or that KEYLOCK has been activated.
Interior
The drum is rust-resistant. However, colored fabrics which lose color or bleed during washing may cause discoloration
of the dryer drum. We recommend that the dryer drum be cleaned with a cloth using a paste made from detergent and
water, or a non- abrasive cleaner. Complete the cleaning by thoroughly wiping the drum with a moist cloth, and then
drying several wet rags or old towels for 20 to 30 minutes using the TIME DRY cycle before using the dryer normally.
Exterior
Wipe off any spills or washing compounds/products. Wipe or dust with a damp cloth. Do not strike the surface with sharp
objects. Pre-treatment products may damage parts of your dryer. Please treat soiled or stained items where the pre-
treatment will not come in contact with dryer surfaces.
Cleaning the Control Panel and Machine Top
Use a soft damp cloth to wipe all surfaces, and wipe dry. Avoid using chemical or scouring cleaners, as these will

damage the paint and plastic surfaces of your dryer.
The SmartTouchTM Control Dial (selected models only) is not designed to be removable for
cleaning. Do not attempt to remove the dial.
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 pre- treatment products will not be covered by the
limited warranty.
Stains
If stains appear inside the drum of your machine, mix a detergent with water to create a paste (or use a non-flammable
liquid cleaner) and wipe over the stain with a soft cloth. Then dry several wet rags or old towels for 20 to 30 minutes
using the TIME DRY cycle to remove all traces of the cleaner.
Lint filter
Lint is generally formed during wearing and washing. Lint and fibers released
from clothes during the drying cycle are collected in the lint filter.
It is important to clean the lint filter after every load, as the lint produced in the
drying process can become a fire hazard if it is allowed to accumulate in or
around your dryer. AeroCare will flash the “Clean Lint Filter” signal light on the
panel each time you power your dryer on to remind you to clean the lint filter.
Remove the lint filter from the housing and wipe the surface with your fingers.
It is easier to remove the lint when your fingers are moistened. A clean lint
filter will ensure your clothes remain lint-free and your dryer will operate at
maximum efficiency.
Be sure to replace the lint filter before using the dryer. Fig.58 Cleaning the lint filter

If the lint filter becomes damaged, contact Fisher & Paykel (refer to the "How to get
Service" section) to arrange getting a new filter. Do not operate your dryer with a damaged
lint filter or without the lint filter in place, as this will cause damage to your dryer.
Exhaust Duct
The dryer exhaust ducting must be inspected and cleaned periodically by an
Authorized Service Agent to remove accumulated lint and prevent clogging.
This will help keep your dryer operating at optimum performance. A partially
clogged exhaust can lengthen the drying time.
To Clean the Exhaust Duct Follow These Steps:
1. Turn off the electrical supply by disconnecting the plug from the
power socket.
2. Disconnect the exhaust duct from the dryer.
3. Vacuum the exhaust duct with the hose attachment or attach a rag
to a pole or drain cleaning wire and clean the duct.

Exhaust Hood
• Ensure the inside flaps or any damper on the exhaust hood
moves sufficiently and opens and shuts freely (you may want
to check with a mirror).
• Make sure inside flaps are fully open when dryer is operating.
• Make sure there is not wildlife (birds, insects, etc) nesting
inside the exhaust duct or hood.

Venting
For best drying performance, the dryer needs to be
properly vented.
Ensure:
• Only rigid metal or flexible metal 4” (102 mm)
diameter ductwork has been used inside the
Dryer cabinet or for exhausting to the outside.
• The shortest length possible has been used.
• The exhaust duct is not crushed or collapsed.
• The duct is not resting on sharp objects.
• Plastic or other combustible ductwork has NOT
BEEN USED.
Carefully follow the details on exhausting the dryer
in the “Installation Instructions”.
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.
Venting must conform to local
building codes.
