INTRODUCTION
Welcome to your new condenser dryer
Thank you for purchasing a Fisher & Paykel clothes dryer. Your new dryer gives you the
convenience of tumble drying and your clothes the advantage of not being subjected to
the harsh overdrying effects of the sun. Your clothes will feel softer, retain their shape
better and require less ironing.
At Fisher & Paykel we aim to provide innovative products that are simple to use,
ergonomic, energy efficient and kind to the environment. Thousands of tons of laundry
and 75years of laundry experience have been programmed into your dryer to help give
you the best possible performance.
Your dryer has the benefit of not needing to be vented outside, instead it condenses the
moisture from the clothes and collects this in a water tank, or can pump it directly into
adrain.
This dryer has been specifically designed to complement our front loading Fisher & Paykel
WashSmart™ and FabricSmart™ washers. We are proud of this dryer and trust it will serve
you well for many years.
Your condensing 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 is
more 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 and that you get the best possible results. 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

Electric Shock Hazard
Follow the safety precautions outlined in this User guide
Failure to do so can result in death or electric shock.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or injury to persons when using
your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:
 Read all instructions before using the appliance.
 This dryer, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local
codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
 DO NOT dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in,
or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive
substances, as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
 DO NOT place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated with
cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch
fire. To reduce the risk of fire due to contaminated loads, the final part of the tumble
dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down period). Avoid stopping a tumble dryer
before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread
out so that the heat is dissipated.
 DO NOT allow children to play on or in this appliance. Close supervision of children is
necessary when this appliance is used near children.
 Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the
drying compartment.

 DO NOT install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
 DO NOT tamper with controls.
 DO NOT repair or replace any part of this appliance or attempt any servicing unless
specifically recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user-
repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.
 DO NOT use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by
the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
 DO NOT dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
 Clean lint screen before or after each load.
 DO NOT operate the dryer without the lint filter and condenser in place.
 DO NOT store combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable liquids near the
dryer. Keep area around the air intake vent on the front of the dryer and adjacent
surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust and dirt.
 The interior of the appliance should be cleaned periodically by qualified service
personnel.
