INTRODUCTION
Welcome to your new condenser dryer
Thank you for purchasing a Fisher&Paykel clothes dryer. Your new dryer gives you the
convenience of tumble drying and your clothes the advantage of not being subjected to the
harsh overdrying effects of the sun. Your clothes will feel softer, retain their shape better
and require less ironing.
At Fisher&Paykel we aim to provide innovative products that are simple to use, ergonomic,
energy efficient and kind to the environment. Thousands of tons of laundry and 75years
of laundry experience have been programmed into your dryer to help give you the best
possible performance.
Your dryer has the benefit of not needing to be vented outside, instead it condenses
themoisture from the clothes and collects this in a water tank, or can pump it directly into
adrain.
This dryer has been specifically designed to complement our front loading Fisher&Paykel
WashSmart™ and FabricSmart™ washers. We are proud of this dryer andtrust it will serve
you well for many years.
Your condensing 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
READ AND SAVE THIS GUIDE
! WARNING!
Electric Shock Hazard
Follow the safety precautions outlined in this User guide
Failure to do so can result in death or electric shock.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your
appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:
zRead all instructions before using the appliance.
zThis dryer, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local
codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
zThis clothes washer 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 washer by someone
responsible for their safety.
zDO NOT dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in,
or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive
substances, as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
zDO NOT place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated with
cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catchfire.
To reduce the risk of fire due to contaminated loads, the final part of the tumble dryer
cycle occurs without heat (cool down period). Avoid stopping a tumble dryer before
the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that
the heat is dissipated.
zDO NOT allow children to play on or in this appliance. Close supervision of children
isnecessary when this appliance is used near children.
zBefore the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to
thedrying compartment.
zDO NOT reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.
zDO NOT install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
zDO NOT tamper with controls.
zDO NOT repair or replace any part of this appliance or attempt any servicing unless
specifically recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published
user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.
zDO NOT use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended
bythe manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
zDO NOT dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
zClean lint screen before or after each load.
zDO NOT operate the dryer without the lint filter and condenser in place.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Electrical connection information for electric dryers
For electrical connections using a power cord:
! WARNING!
Fire Hazard
zUse a new UL-listed 240V 30 amp dryer power supply cord with closed
ring terminals or spade terminals with upturned ends.
zUse a UL-listed strain relief.
zDisconnect power before making electrical connections.
zConnect neutral wire (white or center wire) to center terminal.
zGround wire (green or bare wire) must be connected to green
groundconnector.
zConnect remaining two supply wires to remaining two terminals.
zSecurely tighten all electrical connections.
zReplace the terminal block cover.
zFailure to do so can result in death, fire or electrical shock.
Grounding instructions
For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:
This dryer must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric
current. This dryer uses a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING!
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician, or service representative or personnel,
if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
DO NOT modify the plug on the power supply cord. If it will not fit the outlet, have
aproper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Only a 4-conductor cord shall be used when the appliance is installed in a location where
grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited. Grounding through the neutral
conductor is prohibited for
1 new branch-circuit installations
2 mobile homes
3 recreational vehicles
4 areas where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductors.

Grounding instructions
For a permanently connected dryer:
This dryer must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or
anequipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected
to the equipment-grounding terminal on the appliance.
WARNING!
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician, or a Fisher&Paykel trained and

Connecting the drain hose
Draining water without using the water tank
You can use the dryer without using the water tank by
following the procedures below.
To connect the drain hose:
1 Disconnect the drain hose A.
2 Connect the drain hose Ato the other hole.
3 Connect accessory hose B(long drain hose)
adjacent to hose A.
zWhen connecting hose B, take care that the height
of the hose does not exceed 58”(147cm).
zAfter connecting the drain hose, you can now
directly drain the condensed water to a standpipe
or washstand.
4 Over the edge of a wash basin:
The drain hose must be placed lower
than 58” (147cm). To keep the drain
hose spout bent, use the plastic hose
guide as supplied with the washer.
Secure the guide to the wall with a
hook or to the tap with a piece of
string to prevent the drain hose from
moving.
5 Assemble the drain hose and the hose
guide and fix them with the cable-tie.
Do not push the drain hose in the
standpipe any further than 4” (10cm).
Pushing the drain hose further in the
standpipe can cause leaking.

Refer to pages 28 and 29.
4 At the completion of the cycle open the door and check that there is warmth inside
thedryer. This indicates the dryer is operating normally.
IMPORTANT!
If there are any problems, you must address these before proceeding with normal use.
The dryer will automatically turn off at the end of the cycle if there are no problems.
Before you start, it is a good idea to go through the following checklist:
1 Has the packaging been removed?
2 Is the machine correctly levelled, and the cabinet corners clear of the floor and walls?
3 Are the water tank, condenser and lint filter correctly in place?
4 Has the power cord been connected to an appropriate power supply and the power
turned on?
5 Have you performed the installation test cycle?
6 If external draining is preferred, is the drain hose attached to the correct outlet and
hooked into a standpipe or tub?
