INTRODUCTION
Welcome to your new heat pump clothes dryer
Thank you for purchasing a Fisher & Paykel clothes dryer. We are proud of this dryer
andtrust it will serve you well for many years.
At Fisher & Paykel we aim to provide innovative products that are simple to use,
ergonomic, energy efficient and kind to the environment. Thousands of tonnes of
laundry and 80 years of experience have been programmed into your dryer tohelp
giveyou the best possible performance.
Your dryer has the benefit of heat pump technology, which allows clothes to be dried
atlower temperatures, improving clothes care while saving energy. This dryer also
hasthe advantage of not needing to be vented outside, instead it condenses the
moisture from the clothes and collects this in a water tank, or for convenience, can
pump it directly into a drain.
Your new dryer gives you the convenience of tumble drying and your clothes the
advantage of not being subjected to the harsh over drying effects of the sun.
Yourclothes will feel softer, retain their shape and require less ironing. This dryer has
been specifically designed to complement our front loading Fisher&Paykel washers.
Your heat pump 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
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.
 The maximum mass of dry textile material is eight kilograms. Do not overload yourdryer.
 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.
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.

5
SAFETY AND WARNINGS
 Do not operate this product without the lint filters 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.
 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 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 drain hose, lint filter, drying
rack, condenser filter and the water tank. 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. If you are using an extension cord or portable electrical
outlet device (eg multi-socket outlet box) ensure that it is positioned so that it
doesnot come into contact with water or moisture.
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 filters 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.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
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.
 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.
Disposal
Extreme care must be taken when disposing of your old appliance to avoid hazards.

7
Read and follow the ‘Safety and Warnings’ and ‘Installation Instructions’ sections
carefully before using your dryer.
Moving your appliance
When moving your dryer only tip towards the right hand side (when viewed from
thefront). If the dryer has not been transported as described, leave it standing
uprightfor at least one hour before turning on.

Installation options
Your dryer can be installed one of two ways, either freestanding, or stacked on top
ofaFisher & Paykel front loading washer.
1Freestanding
The dryer stands on the floor and can easily be moved into position.
2Stacking
Your dryer has been designed to be able to be stacked on top of a Fisher & Paykel
front loading washer. A stacking kit MUST BE USED between the products and fitted
correctly to the washing machine and dryer, as per the stacking kit instructions.
– Stacking Kit White: Part No. 427976.
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 20mm.
3 Install the machine on a stable and level floor (if not stacking on top of a front
loadingwasher).
 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.
Never unscrew the feet completely from their housings.
Note: 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 hose from the connection at the back of the dryer (A).
2 Uncoil the drain hose (included with your dryer) and connect it to the black hose(B).
3 Place the other end of the drain hose into a tub or standpipe.
IMPORTANT!
If you connect the drain hose onto your dryer, the other end must be secured in a
drain to prevent water draining onto the floor. Ensure the drain hose is securely fixed
in place to an appropriate drain and is leak-free at the connection to the machine.
Check the connection and drain hose regularly.
 Maximum standpipe height is 1.0m from ground level.
 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.

Timed cycles (Time Dry, Rack Dry, Wool)
When a timed cycle is selected the machine dries for the selected time regardless
ofthelevel of moisture in the load. It is important to check the items throughout
thetimed programmes to avoidover drying.
Timed programmes of 10 to 150 minutes can be selected using the ‘More’
and‘Less’ buttons.
Airing/Cool down (Cool)
When the dryer has sensed that the load is dry it will
automatically go into an airing or cool down cycle.
During‘Cool’ the drum tumbles and cool air is blown
throughthe clothes. This cools the load to reduce creasing
ifthe clothes are left in the dryer.
Time to go
Your dryer displays approximately how many minutes the cycle you are
running has remaining if you have chosen one of the Time Dry cycles.
Ifyou have chosen an automatic cycle (ie not ‘Time Dry’) the word
will appear on the screen until it reaches the cool down phase,
atwhich time the dryer will display how long the cycle has left to go.
Be aware that a number of factors can influence the overall cycle time,
eg the fabric type of garments, load size, the wetness of the load,
environmental conditions etc.
Indicators
There are a number of indicators to alert you when you need to attend
to your dryer, either to clean the lint filter, empty the water tank
or toclean the condenser filter (refer to the ‘Caring for your dryer’
sectionfor more information).
Keylock

SORTING AND LOADING
When preparing your load there are some important things to consider:
Sorting
 We recommend sorting your garments before placing them into the dryer.
Sortintoloads of similar items, and loads that will likely take similar times to dry.
Heavier items (egtowels, and flannelette sheets) are best dried separately from
lightweight items (egsynthetics, polyester-cotton sheets and shirts). This prevents
thepossibility of some items becoming over-dried whilst others are still damp.
Itwillalso help to extend the lifeofyour clothing and linen.
 Care labels on garments provide valuable information about the fabric type and
howthegarment should be dried. Always follow the advice on garment labels.
Onlydryitems in this dryer that have a care label stating tumble drying is suitable.
 Drying your clothes as soon as you remove them from the washer will decrease
thechance of wrinkles forming, and dye transfer from coloured items to white items
fromoccurring.
 Separate coloured items from white/light items where possible, especially when new.
Colour run may be an issue, especially if you intend to delay the start of the drying cycle.
 We recommend that articles of clothing with screen-printing are turned inside out
toprevent damage to the print. Garments with hooks or zippers should be fastened
andwhere possible, turned inside out.

SORTING AND LOADING
Before you load
 Check pockets for items that could damage your clothes or get caught in the dryer.
 Close zippers, hooks and eyes, and other fastenings (ie fasten the openings of
duvet/doona covers), and remove loose bra wires. These may damage both your
dryerand your clothes.
 Check the lint filter is clean and the water tank is empty (if the dryer is not set up
todrain automatically).
Loading
Garments need to be loaded correctly to minimise creasing and wrinkling, and to
ensurethe load is dried evenly.
 Allow enough room in the dryer for clothes to tumble freely. (Hint: load the dryer in
terms of the space the garments take up when dry, rather than when they are wet).
 Shake clothes out and load individually to help items dry evenly and reduce tangling.
 Only dry a sheet load up to a maximum of 4kg in the dryer at one time.
 Dry permanent press garments (business shirts) together on the ‘Easy Iron’ cyclewith
the ‘Wrinkle Free’ option on. This will help reduce wrinkling and the need forironing.
 Hang garments as soon as the drying cycle is complete to reduce the need for ironing.
IMPORTANT!
 Never put dripping wet clothes in or on top of the dryer as excess water may
causeanelectrical hazard.
 Do not place an item in your dryer unless the care label specifically states it is
safetodo so.
 Do not dry curtains in your dryer. Sunlight makes them brittle and they may
disintegrate during drying.
 Do not overload your dryer beyond its rated capacity (eight kilograms of dry clothes).
 Do not under any circumstances dry an electric blanket or any other electrical,
plasticor rubber items in your dryer.

17
Drying times
 Drying very small loads is inefficient. Try to dry medium to large loads.
 Heavier items (towels, flannelette sheets) will take longer to dry than light items
(synthetics and polyester cotton sheets and shirts).
 Drying times can be reduced by spinning the wash load at the highest spin speed
suitable for the load type in your washing machine.
 Check bulky items during the cycle to ensure even drying. Pause the dryer and
reposition the item if necessary.
Lint
Some items are lint givers, while others are lint collectors. Always dry lint givers
and collectors separately.

Delicate or easily damaged items (eg woollen or silk garments, nylon stockings, fine
fabrics, delicate embroidered fabrics) should be dried separately, using the ‘Delicate’or
‘Ultra Delicate’ cycle, or if you do not want them tumbled use the ‘Wool’ or ‘Rack Dry’
cycle. Sleeping bags and other down items should be dried on the ‘Bulky’ cycle.
Drying rack
There are many items that would benefit from
being dried on a dryingrack. For example items
such as sport shoes, soft toys, hats andwoollen
items that may be damaged if they are tumbled.
A drying rack is installed in your dryer when
it leaves the factory. Toremove it, tilt the top
of the rack towards you to detach the legs
fromthe slots in the lint filter, and gently remove
from the drum.
When you are using the drying rack you must
select the ‘Rack Dry’ or ‘Wool’ cycle.
If the Rack is not properly installed or if a
garment has fallen from it, a user prompt
will appear on the digital display screen.
ReplacetheRack and touch the to
resumethecycle.
