property damage. Use this appliance only for the intended purpose as described in the
user guide and installation guide of this appliance. When using this appliance, always
exercise basic safety precautions including the following:
General
zDo not touch or operate the appliance with wet hands or with bare feet.
zA damaged power cord must be replaced by a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported
service technician or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. Do not use
the machine until it has been repaired to avoid a risk of electric shock.
zDo not operate this appliance if it has been damaged during transport. Contact your
Fisher&Paykel dealer or Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician.
zThis product has been designed for personal, family or household use. This product is
not designed for any commercial use. Any commercial use will terminate this products
manufacturer’s warranty.
zThis appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,unless
they are supervised or given instructions on how to use the applianceby someone
responsible for their safety.
zSupervise children to ensure they do not play with the appliance or climb inside
thedrum.
zDo not swing on or put weight on the door.
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.
zItems should go through the cooling 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
cycle is stopped before it has finished, dry clothes should be removed immediately and
not left in the appliance. Items should be quickly spread out flat to cool so heat can
dissipate, not left bunched up, eg in a clothes basket or in a pile.
zIn the event of a power outage the cycle will be paused when power is restored. Press
start to resume the cycle.
zThe only user-removable parts of the dryer are the filters, water tank and drying rack.
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 the user guide, turn off
and unplug your appliance and contact a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported
service technician.
zNever attempt to repair the appliance yourself.
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 place an electric blanket or any other electrical, plastic
or rubber items in the appliance, unless the care label specifically states it is safe to
do so.

6
SAFETY AND WARNINGS
zDo not overload your dryer beyond its rated capacity.
z
MODEL MAXIMUM CAPACITY* (KG)
DH9060H1, DH9060HL1, DH9060HLG1 & DH9060HG1 9
*Capacity refers to the maximum dry weight of items the dryer can dry at any one time
zDo not dry curtains in your dryer.
zFor models with a water tank, never run the dryer without the water tank in place
unless drain hose is connected. For models without a water tank, the drain hose must
be connected.
zDo not use the water collected in the water tank for drinking or food processing.
zIf the water tank becomes full, the appliance will pause and sound an alarm. You must
empty the water tank before the appliance can continue running.
Lint
zDo not operate this appliance without the lint filters in place, or allow lint to accumulate
in or around the appliance.
zAccumulated lint in the appliance can become a fire hazard; it also reduces
the efficiency of the appliance by causing longer drying times and increased
power consumption.
zClean the lint filter before every load.
zEnsure the area around the appliance is clear of 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 appliance
with a damaged lint filter or without the filter in place, as this will cause damage to
your appliance.
Spontaneous combustion
To reduce the risk of fire 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 the appliance.
zOil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources
such as this appliance. 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 this appliance, they should first be
washed in hot water with extra detergent — this will reduce, but not eliminate the fire
hazard. The cooling cycle should be used to reduce the temperature ofthese items.
They should not be removed from the appliance 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 the appliance.
zThe appliance is not to be used if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning.
zFabric softeners or similar products should not be used in the appliance to
eliminate the effects of static electricity, unless this practice is specifically
recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener product.

7
zItems such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, rubber backed articles, clothes
or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads, waterproof textiles, shoes containing rubber or
plastic items should not be placed in the appliance. These materials can spontaneously
combust when heated.
zDo not dry unwashed items in the appliance.
zWhen using REFRESH BY STEAM cycles on unwashed clothing ensure there are no
flammable substances on them.
Installation
zThe appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a
timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by a utility.
zWe do not recommend the use of extension cords or portable electrical outlet devices
for safety reasons.
zInstall the appliance on a solid and level floor surface.
zThe appliance must be installed in a well-ventilated, dust-free environment.
zThe appliance must not be installed on any textured floor coverings (eg carpet, rugs).
Ensure that openings at the base of the appliance are not obstructed.
zThe appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door
with the hinge on the opposite side to that of the tumble dryer, in such a way that a full
opening of the tumble dryer door is restricted.
zIf installing behind a cabinetry door, it must be hinged on the same side as the dryer
and there must be a minimum clearance of 40mm from the front of the dryer door to
the internal face of the cabinetry door for the product to operate safely. The enclosed
space must be provided with sufficient ventilation to meet local building code
requirements or the door must be open while the product is operating.
zThis appliance can be installed on a compatible Fisher & Paykel plinth. To ensure
stability, the plinth must be fitted correctly with the appliance. For installation
instructions and compatible plinth models, refer to fisherpaykel.com.

zThe cold water temperature should not exceed35°C. Temperatures above these may
cause the appliance to fault or cause damage to it.
zA pressure-reducing valve must be installed if pressure is higher than 1Mpa.
zNew hose sets provided should be used to connect the appliance to the water mains.
Old hose sets should not be re-used.
zWe recommend the inlet hose(s) are changed every 5 years. WARNING: Failure to do so

LOADING SUGGESTIONS
Sorting
zSort itemsintoloads of similar items, and loads that will likely take similar times to
dry. This prevents thepossibility of some items becoming over-dried whilst others are
still damp.
zAlways separate coloured items from whites, especially when they are new.
zColour run could be an issue, especially if using DELAYED START.
zClose zippers, hooks and eyes, and other fastenings (ie fasten the opening of duvet/
doona covers), and remove loose bra wires. These can damage your dryer and clothes.
zItems of clothing with screen-printing should be turned inside out to prevent damage to
the print.
zCare labels on garments provide valuable information about the fabric type and
howthegarment should be dried. Always follow the advice on garment labels.
Loading
zLoading items correctly will help to minimise creasing and wrinkling, and ensure the load
is dried evenly.
zAllow enough room in the dryer for clothes to tumble freely. Load the dryer in terms of
the space the garments take up when dry, rather than when they are wet.
zShake clothes out and load individually to help items dry evenly and reduce tangling.
zDry permanent press items (eg business shirts) together on the EASY IRON cycle with the
WRINKLE FREE option on. This will help reduce wrinkling and the need for ironing.
zHang garments as soon as the drying cycle is complete to reduce the need for ironing.
Drying times
zDrying very small loads is inefficient. Try to dry medium to large loads.
zHeavier items (towels, flannelette sheets) will take longer to dry than light items
(synthetics and polyester cotton sheets and shirts).
zDrying times can be reduced by spinning the wash load at the highest spin speed
suitable for the load type in your washing machine.
zCheck 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.
LINT GIVERS LINT COLLECTORS
Towels Synthetics, eg polar fleece
Flannelette sheets Corduroy
Polyester cottons
