Safety and warnings
4
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 START/PAUSE.
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 Authorised Repairer.
For problems that cannot be solved from information in this User Guide, turn off and unplug your
dryer and contact a Fisher & Paykel Authorised Repairer.
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.
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.
