SAFETY AND WARNINGS
When using this appliance always exercise basic safety precautions including
the following:
Dryer use
zThis dryer has been designed for domestic use only, not for commercial applications,
such as massage/beauty clinics where there may be increased lint accumulation or
flammable materials in the atmosphere or load.
zThe tumble dryer is intended only for drying textile material washed in water.
zUndergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed in the dryer.
Damage to the dryer can result if the metal reinforcements come loose during drying.
If you wish to dry these items use a drying rack or place in a garment bag.
zCheck and remove all objects from pockets, eg lighters and matches.
zNever dry rubber articles, or any plastic items or film, eg plastic lined tablecloths
andbaby bibs.
zClothes should go through the cool down/airing phase in the final part of the cycle.
This ensures items are left at a temperature where they will not be damaged. Ifforany
reason the dryer is stopped before the cycle has finished, dry clothes should be
removed immediately and not left in the dryer. Clothes should be quickly spread out
flat to cool so heat can dissipate, not left bunched up, eg in a clothes basket.
Do not operate this product without the lint filter in place or allow lint to accumulate
in or around the dryer.
zThis dryer is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the dryer by a person
responsible for their safety.
zChildren should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the dryer.
zUnplug the machine from the power supply when it is not in use.
zDo not swing on or put weight on the door.
zYour dryer is designed to stop operating in the event of power outage.
When power isresumed, the machine will remain off until the ‘Power’ button is
pressed. To restart the dryer, press ‘Power’, select your drying cycle and touch .
zNever attempt to repair the dryer yourself.
zThe only user-removable parts of the dryer are the lint filter, drying rack and
reversible console. No other parts are designed to be removed by anyone other than
aFisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician.
zFor problems that cannot be solved from information in this User Guide, turn off and
unplug your dryer and contact a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician.
zDo not overload your dryer beyond its rated capacity:
Model Maximum capacity
DE4560M 4.5Kg
DE5060M & DE5060MU 5Kg
DE6060M 6Kg
DE7060M 7Kg
zNever put dripping wet clothes in or on top of the dryer as excess water may cause an
electrical hazard.
zDo not under any circumstances dry an electric blanket or any other electrical, plastic
or rubber items in your dryer, unless the care label specifically states it is safe to do
so. Never dry these items at high temperatures.

5
SAFETY AND WARNINGS
zDo not dry curtains in your dryer. Sunlight makes them brittle and they may
disintegrate during drying.
zDo not use the water collected in the water tank for drinking or food processing.
zNever run the dryer without the water tank in place.
zIf the water tank becomes full, the tumble dryer will pause drying and will sound an
alarm. You must empty the water tank before the dryer can continue drying. Empty
the tank, replace it back in the housing then touch to resume the cycle.
Lint
zAccumulated lint in the dryer can become a fire hazard; it also reduces the efficiency
of the dryer by causing longer drying times and increased power consumption.
zClean the lint filter before every load.
zEnsure the area around the dryer is clear of lint.
zAt regular intervals have the interior of the dryer cleaned of any accumulated lint.
This must be done by a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician.
This must be done when the dryer installation is changed from free standing.
zThe dryer exhaust ducting should be inspected and cleaned periodically to remove
accumulated lint.
zIf the lint filter becomes damaged, contact your Fisher & Paykel trained and supported
service technician to arrange getting a new filter. Do not operate your dryer with a
damaged lint filter or without the filter in place, as this will cause damage to your dryer.
Installation
zThe dryer must be installed in a well-ventilated, dust-free environment.
zThe dryer must not be installed on any textured floor coverings (eg carpet, rugs) to
ensure that openings at the base of the machine are not obstructed.
zDo 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.
zPlease refer to INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION section of this document for detailed
installation steps.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
Spontaneous combustion
IMPORTANT!
To reduce the risk of fire in a tumble dryer the following should be observed:
zItems 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.
zOil-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.
zIf 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
ofthese items. They should not be removed from the tumble dryer and piled or
stacked while hot.
zItems 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.
zDo not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
zThe dryer is not to be used if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning.
zFabric 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.
zRubber 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.
zWhen 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.
zExhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes
fromappliances burning gas or other fuels.
Disposal
Extreme care must be taken when disposing of your old appliance to avoid hazards.
zWhen 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.

zVenting
zCorrect installation is very important for all dryers to ensure maximum efficiency
andsafety.
z
zNever run the dryer unless the airflow system is free from obstruction.
zThere must be adequate ventilation to avoid the back flow of gases into the room
fromappliances burning fuels, including open fires, when operating the dryer.
zExhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes
fromappliances burning gas or other fuels.
zExternal venting
zYour dryer has been designed to be vented outside to provide the following advantages:
zEnsures optimum efficiency by preventing recirculation of moist air.
zEliminates condensation on walls and ceilings.
zReduces the chance of lint being sucked into the dryer.
zPrevents lint and other fine particles being blown into the room.
zAll external venting systems must be:
zMade from 100mm diameter flexible foil sleeved with a galvanised metal pipe where
thevent system goes through the wall, or 100mm diameter galvanised metal piping.
zExhausted outside and not into another confined space, eg the roof cavity of a house.
zFitted with a vent cap outside to stop rain water entering the dryer exhaust system.
zAngled to avoid condensation running back into the dryer.
zThe vent system should be a maximum of two metres with no more than three 90° bends.
zVent systems over two metres long require special installation.
Contact a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician.
zInternal venting
zThe dryer is set up in the factory for front venting. If front venting is used there must be
adequate ventilation to avoid the build up of moisture in the room, which can affect the
performance of the dryer. Venting must comply with local by-laws and regulations.
