SAFETY AND WARNINGS

Meaning of symbols on the dryer

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

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.

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.

 Never dry rubber articles, 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.

 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.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS

 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 on 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 ‘POWER’ button is

pressed. To restart the dryer, press ‘POWER’ , select your drying cycle and

press .

 Never attempt to repair the dryer yourself.

 The only user-removable part of the dryer is the lint filter. 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!

We do not recommend the use of extension cords or portable electrical outlet

devices for safety reasons.

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 Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician.

This must be done when the dryer installation is changed from free standing or

inverted, or vice versa.

 The dryer exhaust ducting should be inspected and cleaned periodically to remove

accumulated lint.

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.

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.

 The maximum mass of dry textiles depends on your model. The DE7060M model is

rated at 7kg. The DE5060M model is rated at5kg. The DE4060M model is rated at

4kg. Do not overload yourdryer.

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 dryer on top of its power cable.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Venting

Correct installation is very important for all dryers to ensure maximum efficiency

andsafety.

IMPORTANT!

Never run the dryer unless the airflow system is free from obstruction.

There must be adequate ventilation to avoid the back flow of gases into the room from

appliances burning fuels, including open fires, when operating the dryer.

Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from

appliances burning gas or other fuels.

External venting

Your dryer has been designed to be vented outside to provide the following advantages:

 Ensures optimum efficiency by preventing recirculation of moist air.

 Eliminates condensation on walls and ceilings.

 Reduces the chance of lint being sucked into the dryer.

 Prevents lint and other fine particles being blown into the room.

All external venting systems must be:

 Made from 100mm diameter flexible foil sleeved with a galvanised metal pipe where

thevent system goes through the wall, or 100mm diameter galvanised metal piping.

 Exhausted outside and not into another confined space, eg the roof cavity of a house.

 Fitted with a vent cap outside to stop rain water entering the dryer exhaust system.

 Angled to avoid condensation running back into the dryer.

 The vent system should be a maximum of two metres with no more than three 90° bends.

 Vent systems over two metres long require special installation. Contact a Fisher & Paykel

trained and supported service technician.

Internal venting

The dryer is set up in the factory for front venting. If front venting is used there must be

adequate ventilation to avoid the build up of moisture in the room, which can affect the

performance of the dryer. Venting must comply with local by-laws and regulations.
