INTRODUCTION
Welcome to your new heat pump clothes dryer
Thank you for purchasing a Fisher & Paykel clothes dryer. We are proud of this dryer
andtrust 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 80 years of experience have been programmed into your dryer tohelp
giveyou the best possible performance.
Your dryer has the benefit of heat pump technology, which allows clothes to be dried
atlower temperatures, improving clothes care while saving energy. This dryer also
hasthe advantage of not needing to be vented outside, instead it condenses the
moisture from the clothes and collects this in a water tank, or for convenience, can
pump it directly into a drain.
Your new dryer gives you the convenience of tumble drying and your clothes the
advantage of not being subjected to the harsh over drying effects of the sun.
Yourclothes will feel softer, retain their shape and require less ironing. This dryer has
been specifically designed to complement our front loading Fisher&Paykel washers.
Your heat pump 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
ismore 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
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.
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 or place in a garment bag.
Check and remove all objects from pockets, eg lighters and matches.
The maximum mass of dry textile material is 8 or 9 kilograms, depending on the model.
Do not overload yourdryer.
Never dry rubber articles, or any plastic items or film, eg plastic lined tablecloths
andbaby bibs.
Clothes should go through the cool down/airing phase in the final part of thecycle.
This ensures items are left at a temperature where they will not be damaged.
Ifforanyreason 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 use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly
textured rubber—like materials, dry on ‘Cool Air’.
Do not stop a tumble clothes dryer before the end of the drying cycle
unless 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.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
Do not operate this product without the lint filters in place or allow lint to accumulate
in or around the dryer.
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.
Whenpowerisresumed, the machine will remain off until the ‘POWER’ button is
pressed. To restart the dryer, press ‘POWER’, 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 filter 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
thedryer.
IMPORTANT!
We do not recommend the use of extension cords or portable electrical outlet
devicesfor safety reasons. 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
doesnot 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 filters 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.
Thismust be done by a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
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
afirehazard and should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat
sourcessuch as a tumble dryer. The items become warm causing an oxidation
reactionin the oil. This oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape the items
canbecome hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items
canprevent 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
bewashed 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
andpiled 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.
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
eliminatethe 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
foamrubber 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.
Disposal
Extreme care must be taken when disposing of your old appliance to avoid hazards.

whereit 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
andthemachine must not rock in any direction.

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 hose from the connection at the back of the dryer (A).
2 Uncoil the drain hose (included with your dryer) and connect it to the black hose(B).
3 Place the other end of the drain hose into a tub or standpipe.
IMPORTANT!
If you connect the drain hose onto your dryer, the other end must be secured in a
drain to prevent water draining onto the floor. Ensure the drain hose is securely fixed
in place to an appropriate drain and is leak-free at the connection to the machine.
Check the connection and drain hose regularly.
Maximum standpipe height is 1m from ground level.
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,
asthismay 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
afloorequipped 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
We recommend sorting your garments before placing them into the dryer.
Sortintoloads of similar items, and loads that will likely take similar times to dry.
Heavier items (egtowels, and flannelette sheets) are best dried separately from
lightweight items (egsynthetics, polyester-cotton sheets and shirts). This prevents
thepossibility of some items becoming over-dried whilst others are still damp.
Itwillalso help to extend the lifeofyour clothing and linen.
Care labels on garments provide valuable information about the fabric type and
howthegarment should be dried. Always follow the advice on garment labels.
Onlydryitems 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
thechance of wrinkles forming, and dye transfer from coloured items to white items
fromoccurring.
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.
We recommend that articles of clothing with screen-printing are turned inside out
toprevent damage to the print. Garments with hooks or zippers should be fastened
andwhere possible, turned inside out.

17
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
todrain automatically).
Loading
Garments need to be loaded correctly to minimise creasing and wrinkling, and to
ensurethe load is dried evenly.
Allow enough room in the dryer for clothes to tumble freely. (Hint: load the dryer in
terms of the space the garments take up when dry, rather than when they are wet).
Shake clothes out and load individually to help items dry evenly and reduce tangling.
Only dry a sheet load up to a maximum of 4kg in the dryer at one time.
Dry permanent press garments (business shirts) together on the ‘Easy Iron’ cyclewith
the ‘Wrinkle Free’ option on. This will help reduce wrinkling and the need forironing.
Hang garments as soon as the drying cycle is complete to reduce the need for ironing.
IMPORTANT!
Never put dripping wet clothes in or on top of the dryer as excess water may cause
anelectrical hazard.
Do not place an item in your dryer unless the care label specifically states it is safe
todo so.
Do not dry curtains in your dryer. Sunlight makes them brittle and they may
disintegrate during drying.
Do not overload your dryer beyond its rated capacity (eight or nine kilograms of dry
clothes, depending on the model).
Do not under any circumstances dry an electric blanket or any other electrical,
plasticor rubber items in your dryer.
18
Drying times
Drying very small loads is inefficient. Try to dry medium to large loads.
Heavier items (towels, flannelette sheets) will take longer to dry than light items
(synthetics and polyester cotton sheets and shirts).
Drying times can be reduced by spinning the wash load at the highest spin speed
suitable for the load type in your washing machine.
Check 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 woollen, nylon stockings, fine fabrics, delicate
embroidered fabrics) should be dried separately, using the ‘Delicate’or ‘Ultra Delicate’
cycle, or if you do not want them tumbled use the ‘Wool’ or ‘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
dryingrack. For example items such as sport shoes, soft toys, hats
andwoollen items that may be damaged if they are tumbled.
A drying rack is installed in your dryer when it leaves the factory.
Toremove it, tilt the top of the rack towards you to detach the legs
fromthe slots in the lint filter, and gently remove from the drum.
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 touch the to
resumethecycle.

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
anyresidual dirt or lint stuck to it, remove this and wipe it clean with a damp cloth.
Donot leave any metal objects in the drum, as these may cause rust.
Cleaning the filters
Cleaning the door lint filter
Lint is generally formed during wearing and washing. Fibres (eglint) released
fromtheclothes during the drying cycle are collected in the lint filter.
It is important to clean the door 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 yourdryer.
A warning light will flash at the start of every cycle to
remind you to clean the door lint filter, then turns off
once you touch
to start your cycle.
The warning light will flash on and off during the
cycle if the door lint filter becomes blocked. When
this occurs the door lint filter should be cleaned
immediately.
The door lint filter is located in the door opening
(atthe bottom).
To clean the door lint filter:
1 Open the dryer door.
2 Remove the filter by pulling it up and out of the filter
slot. Open it out and wipe the surfaces clean with
your hand.
3 Close the filter and place it back in the opening.
Ensurethe filter is fitted correctly back in place
before operating the dryer.
IMPORTANT!
The door lint filter must be cleaned at the beginning of each cycle. Lint becomes
afire hazard if left to build up, and will reduce the efficiency of your dryer.
If the door lint filter becomes damaged, contact your Fisher & Paykel trained
andsupported service technician to arrange getting a new filter.
Donotoperate your dryer with a damaged door lint filteror without the
filter in place, as this will causedamage to your dryer and is a firehazard.
24
Cleaning the condenser filter and evaporator grid
To maintain optimum performance of your dryer the condenser filter andevaporator
grid must be cleaned. A notification will appear on the display panel when the
condenser filter requires cleaning.
The condenser filter is located below the door on the left-hand side.
The evaporator grid is located behind the condenser filter.
To clean the condenser filter:
1 Switch off the power supply and remove
thepower plug.
2 Open the condenser filter cover.
3 Turn the four condenser lock levers 90°
thenpull out the condenser filter.
4 Remove rear filter and wipe the surface
cleanwith your hand.
IMPORTANT!
If you have stacked your dryer using a Fisher
& Paykel stacking kit, slide the stacking kit
tray out prior to opening the condenser
filter cover.
To clean the evaporator grid:
With the condenser filter removed you
will be able to see the evaporator grid.
Ifthesurface of the evaporator grid is dirty,
clean it carefully with a vacuum cleaner
using a dusting brush or a narrow crevice
nozzle. Begentle and do not bend the
finemetalfins.
WARNING
Cut Hazard. The surface of the evaporator has sharp edges and contact may result in
injury. Handle with care when cleaning the grid and always keep blades away from
fingers and body.
5 Replace the condenser filter.

Emptying the water collection tank
During the drying cycle, steam condenses into water
andis collected in the water tank, located at the top
left of the dryer. It is important to empty the water
tank after every load.
Ifthewater tank becomes full during operation,
thedryer will pause, display a user prompt and beep
to alert you. You must emptythe tank before the
dryer can continue drying. Empty the tank, replace it
in the housing then touch
to resume the cycle.
Note: You do not need to empty the water tank
ifyou have set up the drain hose to drain the
waterautomatically.
To empty the water tank:
1 Remove the water tank by holding onto the
handleand pulling outwards gently to remove it.
Ensurethat 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,
andthen 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 unless
thedrainhosehasbeeninstalled.
Cleaning the sensors
There are sensors in your dryer that detect whether the laundry is dry or not.
Thesesensors need to be cleaned periodically (we recommend approximately
fourtimes a year).
To clean the sensors:
1 Open the door of your machine.
2 Allow the machine to cool if drying hasbeen
carried out.
3 Locate the metal sensors just behind thelint filter.
4 Wipe the sensors with a soft cloth, dampened
withvinegar.
