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
Read all instructions before using the appliance.
!WARNING!
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 reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.
 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.

disassembled, or has missing or broken parts, including a damaged cord or plug.
 DO NOT spray any type of aerosol into, on or near dryer at any time. DO NOT use
any type of spray cleaner when cleaning dryer interior. Hazardous fumes or electrical
shock could occur.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Electrical connection information for electric dryers
For electrical connections using a power cord:
!WARNING!
Fire Hazard
 Use a new UL-listed 240V 30 amp dryer power supply cord with closed
ring terminals or spade terminals with upturned ends.
 Use a UL-listed strain relief.
 Disconnect power before making electrical connections.
 Connect neutral wire (white or center wire) to center terminal.
 Ground wire (green or bare wire) must be connected to green ground
connector.
 Connect remaining two supply wires to remaining two terminals.
 Securely tighten all electrical connections.
 Replace the terminal block cover.
 Failure to do so can result in death, fire or electrical shock.
Grounding instructions
For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:
This dryer must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric
current. This dryer uses a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING!
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician, or service representative or
personnel, if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
DO NOT modify the plug on the power supply cord. If it will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Connecting the drain hose
Draining water without using the water tank
You can use the dryer without using the water
tank by following the procedures below.
To connect the drain hose:
1
Disconnect the drain hose A.
2
Connect the drain hose Ato the other hole.
3
Connect accessory hose B(long drain hose)
adjacent to hose A.
 When connecting hose B, take care that
the height of the hose does not exceed
58”(147cm).
 After connecting the drain hose, you can
now directly drain the condensed water to
a standpipe or washstand.
4
Over the edge of a wash basin: The
drain hose must be placed lower than
58” (147cm). To keep the drain hose
spout bent, use the plastic hose guide
as supplied with the washer. Secure the
guide to the wall with a hook or to the
tap with a piece of string to prevent the
drain hose from moving.
5
Assemble the drain hose and the hose
guide and fix them with the cable-tie.
Do not push the drain hose in the
standpipe any further than 4” (10cm).
Pushing the drain hose further in the
standpipe can cause leaking.

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:
1Has the packaging been removed?
2Is the machine correctly levelled, and the cabinet corners clear of the floor and walls?
3Are the water tank, condenser and lint filter correctly in place?
4Has the power cord been connected to an appropriate power supply and the power
turned on?
5Have you performed the installation test cycle?
6If external draining is preferred, is the drain hose attached to the correct outlet and
hooked into a standpipe or tub?
