SAFETY AND WARNINGS
READ AND SAVE THIS GUIDE
When using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including thefollowing:
General
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.
zDo not touch or operate the machine with wet hands or with bare-feet.
zA damaged power cord must be replaced by a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported
service technician, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid
a hazard. The appliance must not be operated until it is repaired, as there is risk of
electric shock.
zDo not operate this machine if it has been damaged during transport. Contact your
Fisher&Paykel dealer or Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician.
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.
zDo not operate this product without the lint filter in place or allow lint to accumulate in
or around the dryer.
zThis appliance can be used by children aged 8 years and above and persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge
if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a
safe way and understand the hazards involved.
zChildren of less than 3 years should be kept away unless continuously supervised.
zCleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
zUnplug the machine from the power supply when it is not in use.
zDo not swing on or put weight on the door.
zIn the event of a power outage your dryer will resume automatically when
power is restored.
zNever attempt to repair the dryer yourself.
zThe only user-removable parts of the dryer are the filters 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 this user guide, turn off and
unplug your dryer and contact a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician.

7
SAFETY AND WARNINGS
zDo not overload your dryer beyond its rated capacity:
MODEL MAXIMUM CAPACITY (KG)
DH9060P2 9
*Capacity refers to the maximum dry weight of items the dryer can dry at any one time
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.
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 press 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.
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.
Spontaneous combustion
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.

8
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 using STREAM REFRESH on unwashed clothing ensure there are no flammable
substances on them.
Disposal
zExtreme 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.

CONTROL PANEL
Timed cycles
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 cycles include TIME DRY, RACK DRY and WOOL.
Timed programmes of 10 to 150 minutes can be selected using the MORE and
LESS buttons.
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.
Airing/Cool down
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.
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.

DRY PREPARATION
Sorting
Sort 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 the 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.

Sheets, pillowcases,
duvet/doona covers
Sheets Ensure duvet/doona cover openings are buttoned/domed
before placing inthe dryer.
Bulky items –
doonas,duvets,
sleeping bags, jackets
Sheets Dry only one bulky item at a time and place a knotted
towel into the dryer at the same time to ensure thebulky
item moves aroundevenly.
Business shirts,

creasables
Easy Iron WRINKLE FREE is automatically selected to help minimise
creasing once the drying cycle has finished.
Woolens, silks Wool Designed for items that could be damaged ifthey are
tumbled, eg woolens. Use the drying rack.
Delicates, fine fabrics Delicate or
Rack Dry
You can further reduce the dryness level to damp or use
RACK DRY for verydelicate items.
Jeans Heavy Turn jeans inside out to help maintain their appearance.
Dry separately from other items.
Shoes, hats, soft
toys or other odd
shapeditems
Rack Dry Check on the item regularly throughout the drying cycle.
Ensure the rack has been correctly fitted.
Synthetics Mixed Dry synthetics and mixed fibre items together.

15
Before you load
zCheck pockets for items that could damage your clothes or get caught in the dryer.
zClose 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.
zItems of clothing with screen-printing should be turned inside out toprevent
damage to the print.
zCheck the lint filter is clean and the water tank is empty (if the dryer is not set up
todrain automatically).
Loading
zGarments need to be loaded correctly to minimise creasing and wrinkling, and to
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 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.
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
Delicate or easily damaged items (eg nylon stockings, fine fabrics, delicate embroidered
fabrics) should be dried separately, using the DELICATE, ULTRA DELICATE, SILK or WOOL cycle,
or if you do not want them tumbled use the 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.
The drying rack is installed in your dryer
when it leaves the factory.
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 press to
resumethecycle.

DRYING CYCLE OPTIONS
When your dryer senses that the clotheshave
driedto the dryness level selected, the dryer
willautomatically finish thecycle.
Two lights are used to show somedryness levels, eg
to achieve the DAMP DRY setting boththe DRY and
the DAMP lights willbeilluminated.
There are five dryness levels that can be selected
from DAMP through to EXTRA DRY. You can alter
the dryness level from the default to suityour load
depending on how dry you want youritemsto be.
All drying cycles default to the recommended options for that cycle based on the average
expected load to be dried using that cycle. You can vary the options (egDRYNESS LEVEL,
DRY TEMP) to create your desired cycle. Some options are not available on some cycles, for
clothes care reasons, or because the option is not appropriate for the cycle.
