SAFETY AND WARNINGS
Meaning of symbols on the dryer
Warning: Risk of fire/Flammable materials
Read the instructions
!WARNING!
Fire Hazard
 Only dry fabrics that have been washed with water.
 Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly
textured rubber–like materials, dry on ‘Air Dry’.
 Do not stop a tumble clothes dryer before the end of the drying
cycleunless all items are removed and spread out in order to dissipate
the heat.
 A clothes dryer produces combustible lint; the lint filter must be
cleaned before each drying cycle.
 Failure to follow the warnings outlined in these user instructions can
cause a fire hazard.
 Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or personal injury.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! When using this appliance always exercise basic safety precautions
including the following:
Dryer use
 The tumble dryer is intended only for drying textile material washed in water.
 Undergarments 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.
 Check and remove all objects from pockets, eg lighters and matches.
 Never dry rubber articles, or any plastic items or film, eg plastic lined tablecloths
andbaby bibs.
 Clothes 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.
 This 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.
 Do not operate this product without the lint filter in place or allow lint to accumulate
in or around the dryer.
 This 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.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
 Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the dryer.
 Unplug the machine from the power supply when it is not in use.
 Do not swing on or put weight on the door.
 Your 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 .
 Never attempt to repair the dryer yourself.
 The 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.
 For 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.
 When 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.
IMPORTANT!
We do not recommend the use of extension cords or portable electrical outlet devices
for safety reasons.
Lint
 Accumulated 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.
 Clean the lint filter before every load.
 Ensure the area around the dryer is clear of lint.
 At 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 or inverted, or
vice versa.
 The dryer exhaust ducting should be inspected and cleaned periodically to remove
accumulated lint.
Spontaneous combustion
IMPORTANT!
To reduce the risk of fire in a tumble dryer the following should be observed:
 Items 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.
 Oil-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.
 If 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.
 Items 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.

6
SAFETY AND WARNINGS
 Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
 The dryer is not to be used if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning.
 Fabric 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.
 Rubber 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.
 The maximum mass of dry textiles depends on your model. DE7060P and DE7060G
models are rated at7kg. Do not overload yourdryer.

TITLE TO GO HEREINSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Venting
Correct installation is very important for all dryers to ensure maximum efficiency
andsafety.
IMPORTANT!
Never run the dryer unless the airflow system is free from obstruction.
There 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.
Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from
appliances burning gas or other fuels.
External venting
Your dryer has been designed to be vented outside to provide the following advantages:
 Ensures optimum efficiency by preventing recirculation of moist air.
 Eliminates condensation on walls and ceilings.
 Reduces the chance of lint being sucked into the dryer.
 Prevents lint and other fine particles being blown into the room.
All external venting systems should be:
 Made 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.
 Exhausted outside and not into another confined space, eg the roof cavity of a house.
 Fitted with a vent cap outside to stop rain water entering the dryer exhaust system.
 Angled to avoid condensation running back into the dryer.
 The vent system should be a maximum of 2 metres with no more than three 90⁰ bends.
 Vent systems over 2 metres long require special installation. Contact a Fisher & Paykel
trained and supported service technician.
Internal venting
The 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.
