coverings (eg carpet, rugs) to ensure that openings at
the base of the machine are not obstructed.
• Do not install the dryer behind a lockable door, sliding
door, or behind a door where the hinge is on the
opposite side to that of the dryer in such a way that the
full opening of the door is inhibited. Ensure the dryer
door can always be opened fully.

1. Move the machine into the desired position. Do not lift the dryer by the top panel.
2. Have a minimum clearance on all sides of at least 20 mm.
3. Install the machine on a stable and level floor.
• Do not install your dryer in such a way that the dryer door cannot be opened fully.
• Do not install the dryer outside, in a damp place, where there is a risk of freezing, where it may be rained on, in
direct sunlight or close to a source of heat.
• Do not place your machine on top of its power cable.
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 any direction.
The dryer comes with four adjustable feet, wind all four feet up or down until the
dryer is correctly level. A spirit level can assist with this process. The machine is
considered level when the bubble sits in the centre (ie within 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. Levelling the feet
Never unscrew the feet completely from their housings.
After levelling, the corners of the dryer cabinet should be clear of the floor and the machine must not
rock in any direction.

Draining
The dryer is equipped with a condenser unit which accumulates water during the drying
cycle. This water is collected in the removable water tank located at the top left of the
dryer. The accumulated water must be emptied after each drying cycle. However you
can also set up your dryer to drain automatically using the drain hose provided.
Connecting the drain hose:
1. Remove the black drain hose from the connection at the back of the dryer (A)
and place it on the other connection to the left (B). Uncoil the white drain hose
and connect it to the back of the dryer where the black drain hose was
previously connected (C).
2. Place the other end of the white drain hose into a tub or standpipe. The
connection between the dryer and the white drain hose (C) must be secured to
avoid a potential flood.
Installing the drain hose
If you connect the white drain hose onto your dryer and you do not secure the other end in a drain,
your dryer will drain water onto your floor. Ensure the drain hose is securely fixed in place to an
appropriate drain and is leak-free at the connection to the machine.
• Regularly check that your standpipe or tub is free from lint and other obstructions, which may affect
drainage and cause flooding.
• The drain hose should be checked from time to time and replaced if any damage, eg wear, cuts, bulges,
kinks, leaks, etc are found. Do not bend the drain hose sharply, as this may cause it to split.
• The extended length of the provided drain hose is 1.3m.
• In multi-storey apartments or any upper floor, the machine should be installed on a floor equipped with a
drain.
• Draining must comply with local by-laws.
Electrical Connection
1. This appliance must be connected to a 220V – 240V, 50Hz, sinusoidal, 10A electrical supply.
2. Uncoil the power cord, remove and discard the plastic pin cover and plug into a power socket.
3. Connect the appliance to an earthed outlet protected by a fuse of suitable capacity.
• Check the power cord for damage and make sure it is not squashed or twisted when installing the dryer.
• Always remove the power cord from the power socket by the plug, not by the cord.

If you are using an extension cord or a portable electrical outlet device (eg multisocket
outlet box), ensure that it is positioned so that it does not come into contact with water or
moisture. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN DEATH OR ELECTRICAL SHOC .
• Do not touch or operate the machine with wet hands or with bare-feet.
• A damaged power cord must be replaced by a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service
technician, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. The
appliance must not be operated until it is repaired, as there is risk of electric shock.
• Do not operate this machine if it has been damaged during transport. Contact your
Fisher & Paykel dealer or Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician.
The appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or
connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by a utility.
Completing the Installation
Installation Test Cycle
Ensure the installation test cycle is completed before you dry any items in your dryer. This is to check
that your dryer is installed correctly and that it is functioning properly prior to use.
1. Turn your dryer on by pressing the
button.
2. Select the ‘Time Dry’ 30 cycle. Ensure the drum is empty and the door is closed (you will hear it click shut).
3. Touch the

Dryer or Before You Call for Service'
4. At the completion of the cycle open the door and check that there is warmth inside the dryer. This indicates the
dryer is operating normally.
If there are any problems, you must address these before proceeding with normal use. The dryer will
automatically turn off at the end of the cycle if there are no problems.
Before you start, it is a good idea to go through the following checklist:
1. Has the packaging been removed?
2. Is the machine correctly levelled, and the cabinet corners clear of the floor and walls?
3. Are the water tank, condenser and lint filter correctly in place?
4. Has the power cord been connected to an appropriate power supply and the power turned on?
5. Have you performed the installation test cycle?
6. If external draining is preferred, is the drain hose attached to the correct outlet and hooked into a standpipe or
tub?
