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.
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
adrain.
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.
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 75 years of laundry experience have been programmed into your dryer to help give
you the best possible performance.
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.

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
cycleunless 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.
The dryer should not be used to dry unwashed items.
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.
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, fibreglass, 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.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
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 button is pressed. To restart the
dryer, press , 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 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!
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 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 qualified person for electrical safety.
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.
5
SAFETY AND WARNINGS
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.

Your dryer can be installed one of two ways, either freestanding, or stacked on top of a
Fisher & Paykel front loading washer (specific models only).
1
Free standing
The dryer stands on the floor and can easily be moved into position.
2
Stacking
Your dryer has been designed to be able to be stacked on top of a Fisher & Paykel
WashSmart™ or FabricSmart™ front loading washer (WH1260P and WH1260F models
only). A stacking kit MUST BE USED between the products and fitted correctly to the
washing machine.
Stacking Kit White: Part No. 428159.
1
Move the machine into the desired position. Do not lift the dryer by the top panel.
2

3
Install the machine on a stable and level floor.
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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
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 drain hose from the connection at the
back of the dryer (A) and place it on the other connection
to the left (B). Uncoil the white drain hose and connect it
to the back of the dryer where the black drain hose was
previously connected (C).
2
Place the other end of the white drain hose into a tub or
standpipe. The connection between the dryer and the white
drain hose (C) must be secured to avoid a potential flood.
IMPORTANT!
If you connect the white drain hose onto your dryer and you do not secure the
other end in a drain, your dryer will drain water onto your floor. Ensure the drain
hose is securely fixed in place to an appropriate drain and is leak-free at the
connection to the machine.
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,
egwear, 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.

SORTING AND LOADING
When preparing your load there are some important things to consider:
Sorting
It is best that you sort your garments before placing them into the dryer. Sort into loads
of similar items, and loads that will take similar times to dry. Heavier items (egtowels,
t-shirts and flannelette sheets) are best dried separately from lightweight items
(egsynthetics, 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.
Look for a care label on your clothes as this will tell you if they can be safely tumble dried.
Drying your clothes as soon as you remove them from the washer will decrease the
chance of wrinkles, and dye transfer from coloured items to white items from occurring.
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
automatically drain).
Loading
Garments need to be loaded correctly to minimise creasing and wrinkling, and to ensure
the load is dried evenly. Make sure there is plenty of room for the garments to tumble
freely while drying.
Hint: load the dryer in terms of the space the garments take up when dry, rather than
when they are wet. The general rule is that one wash load equals one dryer load. Do not
overload your dryer, as it may damage your dryer and clothes.
It is a good idea to dry 'permanent press' type garments (eg business shirts) together
on a separate cycle with the ‘Wrinkle Free’ option on. This will help reduce wrinkling and
the need for ironing.
To reduce tangling
Load items individually.
Dry sheets and duvet/doona covers on the 'Sheets' cycle. Ensure duvet/doona covers
are fastened before placing in the dryer.
Only dry bedding loads up to a maximum of 4kg in the dryer.
If you are experiencing a lot of tangling, try adding a dry, knotted towel to the load.
To reduce creasing
Shake clothes out and load individually to help items dry evenly.
Launder permanent press garments separately, eg business shirts.
Allow enough room in the dryer for clothes to tumble freely.
Hang garments as soon as the dryer cycle is complete to reduce the need for ironing.
IMPORTANT!
Do not overload your dryer beyond its rated capacity (eight kilograms of dry clothes).
Never put dripping wet clothes in or on top of the dryer as excess water may cause an
electrical hazard.
Do 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.
Do not dry curtains in your dryer. Sunlight makes them brittle and they may
disintegrate during drying.
17
SORTING AND LOADING
Drying times
Drying very small loads is inefficient. Try to dry medium to large loads.
Heavier items (towels, T-shirts, flannelette sheets) will take longer to dry than light items
(synthetics and polyester cotton sheets and shirts).
Spin clothes at the highest spin speed suitable for the load type. The more water you
remove in the wash, the less drying time required.
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.
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.
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
Nappies Polyester cottons
Delicate or easily damaged items (eg woollen or silk garments, nylon stockings, fine
fabrics, delicate embroidered fabrics, garments with metal accessories, sleeping bags
and other down items) should be dried separately, using the delicate cycle or the rack
dry cycle (if you do not want them tumbled).
Drying rack
There are many items that would benefit from being
dried on a drying rack. For example items like 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’ cycle.

DRYING CYCLE OPTIONS
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. Note: some options are
not available on some cycles, for clothes care reasons, or because the option is not
appropriate for the cycle.
To change a drying option or options you have selected after a cycle has started,
touch and select your new setting, then touch again to resume the cycle with the
new setting or settings.
Note: some options may not be available for selection under certain conditions and after
particular stages of the drying cycle have passed.
Dryness Level
Your dryer takes the guess work out of choosing drying
times by sensing the dryness of the load. When your dryer
senses that the clothes have dried to the dryness level you
have selected, the dryer will automatically finish the cycle.
The dryer has five dryness levels from Damp through
to Extra Dry. Choose the dryness level to suit your load
depending on how dry you wish for your clothes to be.
If you find the load is not dry enough, select the next
dryness level up. The higher the level, the longer the
drying time and the drier your clothes will become.
Note: two lights are used to show some dryness levels.
For example, to achieve the Damp Dry setting both the
Dry and the Damp lights will be illuminated.
Airing/Cool down (Cool)
When the dryer has sensed that the load is dry it will
automatically go into a 10 minute 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.
Dry Temp
There are four drying temperatures you can choose from:
High: For regular to heavy cottons.
Medium: For synthetics, some blends and items labelled
Permanent Press.
Low: For delicates, synthetics and items labelled Tumble
Dry Low.
No Heat: This option may only be used with ‘Air Dry’ and
‘Time Dry’ in which items are tumbled without heat.
Touch the ‘Dry Temp’ button until the light next to your
desired drying temperature is illuminated.

If you wish to minimise wrinkling, select one of the ‘Wrinkle Free’
options. At the end of the cycle, the drum will rotate periodically and
cool air will be circulated through the load to minimise wrinkling and
creasing. This is particularly useful if you cannot remove the items
immediately after the cycle ends. There are two wrinkle free options:
‘On’ provides ‘Wrinkle Free’ operation for 2 hours.
‘Extra’ provides ‘Wrinkle Free’ operation for 24 hours.
If you wish to stop the dryer at any stage during the ‘Wrinkle Free’ stage
of the cycle, simply touch . You can then open the dryer door and
remove your items. Press to stop the cycle and turn the dryer off.
Signal
The ‘Signal’ option automatically defaults to ‘On’ for all cycles. This
means a series of beeps will sound at the end of a cycle, to alert you
that the dryer has finished. You can turn the ‘Signal’ off by touching the
‘Signal’ button twice (no lights will then be illuminated).
When you select a dryness level above damp/dry and wish your dryer to
alert you to remove items once your load reaches the damp/dry stage,
touch the ‘Signal’ button once to select ‘Damp Dry’. Ensure ‘On’ is also
selected. When your load reaches the damp/dry stage, the dryer will
beep to alert you to remove your items, then continue drying until the
remaining load reaches the dryness level you selected.
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 (refer to pages 23 and 24 for more information).
Keylock
This option enables you to deactivate the buttons on the display panel, except for the
and buttons. This option helps prevent accidental button presses.
To turn Keylock mode ON or OFF, at any time when the dryer is powered on:
Touch and hold the button for 2 seconds.
Note: when activated, the light above the button is illuminated.
If Keylock mode is activated and the machine is powered off:
To turn your dryer on, press the button, then touch and hold the button for two
seconds to turn Keylock off. Select your drying cycle, any options and then touch to
start the cycle.

DRYING CYCLE OPTIONS
Delay Start
The ‘Delay Start’ option enables you to delay the start of the drying cycle from between
5minutes and 12hours. Times you can select are 5min, 15min, 30min, 1hour, then
hourly up to 12hours. This can be useful to time your drying to finish when you arrive
home from work, or to start when power rates are lower.
To programme a ‘Delay Start’, simply touch the ‘More’ button to increase the delay
time and ‘Less’ button to decrease the time or to turn ‘Delay Start’ off. Touch
to confirm your selection and start the countdown. Once the ‘Delay Start’ has been
started, the time will count down on the digital display in one minute increments, the
‘DelayStart’ light will flash and the light will stop flashing and turn on solid.
Note: if you hold the ‘More’ button down, the time displayed on the screen will
increase after every half a second (more convenient than touching the button
repetitively). To remove a delay start time once it is counting down, simply touch ,
then touch the ‘Less’ button to decrease the time to zero. Touch to start the cycle
immediately.
IMPORTANT!
We suggest that you avoid using ‘Delay Start’ for damp, non-colourfast items as this
may cause dye run to occur.
Customising dryer cycles
After using your dryer a few times you may discover there are some drying options you
prefer for some cycles.
You can programme your dryer to remember the drying options you prefer for each
drying cycle. For instance, you may want to set the ‘Easy Iron’ cycle to a lower drying
temperature or set the ‘Everyday’ cycle so it automatically has the ‘Wrinkle Free’ option
selected.
To customise a cycle:
1
Press to turn the machine on.
2
Turn the dial to select the cycle you wish to customise.
3
Touch and hold any of the drying options buttons for 3 seconds. The lights will flash on
and off to indicate that the machine is in cycle adjustment mode.
4
Select the drying options you prefer by touching the relevant option button.
5
Touch to save the selected settings. The dryer will then beep to indicate your
customised cycle has been saved.
Factory reset
You can reset your dryer to the default settings it left the factory with:
1
Turn the dial to select the ‘Freshen’ cycle.
2
Touch and hold the ‘Delay Start’, ‘More’ , the ‘Delay Start’, ‘Less’ and ‘Signal’
buttons together for three seconds.
3
Your dryer will now be reset to the default settings.

CARING FOR YOUR DRYER
When you have finished using your dryer
Unplug the machine from the power socket.
Wipe around the door to remove any remaining condensation and foreign matter.
Clear the lint filter and empty the water tank (if not set up to automatically drain).
Cleaning your dryer
Before you start cleaning your dryer, ensure that it is disconnected from the power
(ieunplug the machine from the power socket).
Cleaning the control panel and outer surfaces of the dryer
Use a soft damp cloth to wipe all surfaces, then wipe dry. Avoid using chemical or
scouring cleaners, as these will damage the paint and plastic surfaces of your dryer.
Cleaning the inside of your dryer
It is important that you occasionally clean the inside of your dryer. If the drum has any
residual dirt or lint stuck to it, remove this and wipe it clean with a damp cloth. Do not
leave any metal objects in the drum, as these may cause rust.
Cleaning the lint filter
Lint is generally formed during wearing and washing. Fibres (ielint) released from the
clothes during the drying cycle are collected in the lint filter.
It is important to clean the lint filter after every load, as the lint produced in the drying
process can become a fire hazard if it is allowed to accumulate in or around your dryer.
The lint filter is located in the door opening (at the bottom).
There is a warning light that will flash at the beginning of every cycle to remind you to
clean the filter. The warning light will also flash on and off during the cycle if the filter
becomes blocked. The filter should be cleaned as soon as the ‘Lint Filter’ light starts
flashing. Lint becomes a fire hazard if left to build up, and will reduce the efficiency of
your dryer.
To clean the filter:
1
Open the dryer door.
2
Remove the lint filter by pulling it up and out of the filter
slot. Open it out and wipe the surface clean with your hand.
3
Close the lint filter and place it back in the opening. Ensure
the filter is fitted correctly back in place before operating
the dryer.
IMPORTANT!
If 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.

CARING FOR YOUR DRYER
Emptying the water collection tank
During the drying cycle steam condenses into water and is
collected in the water tank, located at the top left of the dryer.
It is important to empty the water tank after every load.
There is an indicator light that will illuminate when the water
tank needs emptying. A user warning will also be displayed on
the screen (refer to the 'Before you call for service' section). If
the water tank becomes full during operation, the dryer will go
into ‘Cool’ mode for several minutes, then pause and beep to
alert you. Empty the tank and touch to resume the cycle.
Note: you do not need to empty the water tank if you have set
up the drain hose to drain the water automatically.
To empty the water tank:
1
Remove the water tank by holding onto the handle and pulling
outwards gently to remove it. Ensure that you keep the tank
level when it is being removed to prevent the water collected
from spilling.
2
Pour the water down the sink or into a bucket, and then put
the tank back in place.
IMPORTANT!
Do not use the water collected in the water tank for drinking or food processing.
Never run the dryer without the water tank in place.
If 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 touch to resume the cycle.
Cleaning the condenser
If the ‘Condenser’ indicator light starts to flash this
indicates that the condenser needs to be cleaned. The
condenser should be cleaned after every 100drying hours.
The light illuminates when you first turn the machine on,
then turns off once the button has been touched.
To clean the condenser:
1
Switch off the power supply and remove the power plug
before cleaning the condenser.
2
Open the condenser cover.
3
Turn the two condenser lock levers 90degrees then pull
out the condenser.
4
Clean the condenser with pressurised water and wait until
the water drains.
5
Replace the condenser.
6
Turn the two condenser lock levers to lock the condenser
back in place again. Make sure that these locks are
engaged securely.

CARING FOR YOUR DRYER
Cleaning the sensors
There are humidity sensors in your machine that detect
whether the laundry is dry or not. These sensors need to
be cleaned periodically (we recommend approximately
four times a year).
To clean the sensors:
1
Open the door of your machine.
2
Allow the machine to cool if drying has been carried out.
3
Locate the metal sensors just behind the lint filter.
4
Wipe the sensors with a soft cloth, dampened with vinegar.
Dry the sensors with a dry cloth.
