2Safety and warnings

WARNING!

Fire Hazard

Please read the following information. Otherwise, there may be the

risk of personal injury or material damage. Moreover, any warranty

and reliability commitment will become void.

General safety

Never place your machine on a carpet covered floor. The lack of airflow from below your

machine may cause electrical parts to overheat.

Your machine is designed to stop operating in the event of power resuming after a power failure.

You must press START/PAUSE/CANCEL button to resume the programme.

Press the START/PAUSE/CANCEL button for 3 seconds to cancel the programme (see, ‘Ending the

programme through cancelling’ page 11).

Your machine can be operated at temperatures between +5°C and +35°C.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including young children) with reduced

physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they

have been given supervision on instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person

responsible for their safety.

First use

When operating your machine for the first time, partly load it with wet items of clothing and let

it run approximately for 15 minutes.

You may smell an unpleasant odour and excessive fibre/lint may accumulate during first

drying cycle.

For safety and performance purposes, clean the filters after each drying cycle.

Intended use

This product has been designed for home use.

The appliance may only be used for drying textiles that are marked accordingly.

Do not operate this product without the lint filter in place.

Do not dry unwashed items in the dryer.

Safety instructions

Unplug the machine when it is not in use.

Never wash down the appliance with water. There is the risk of electric shock!

Never touch the plug with wet hands.

Never pull from the cable to unplug the machine.

Do not operate the machine if the power cord or plug is damaged.

Never attempt to repair the machine yourself.

For malfunctions that cannot be solved by information in the User Guide:

Turn off and unplug the appliance and contact a Fisher & Paykel Authorised Repairer.

Lint must not be allowed to accumulate around the tumble dryer.

To minimise the risk of fire in a tumble dryer, the following should be observed:

Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol,

kerosene, dry cleaning solvents, spot removers, turpentine, waxes or wax removers, should be

washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.

Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as

in a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. 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 and so create a fire hazard.

If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or 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 hazard.

The ‘cool down’ cycle of tumble dryers should be used to reduce the temperature of the items to

ensure they will not be damaged. They should not be removed from the tumble dryer or piled or

stacked while hot.

Important!

Never stop the tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly

removed and spread out so that the heat can dissipate.

The dryer should not be used for items cleaned using industrial chemicals.

Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber like

materials should not be dried in a tumble dryer.

Foam rubber materials can, when heated, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.

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 or product.

Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed in a tumble dryer.

Damage to the tumble dryer can result if metal reinforcements come loose during drying.

Plastic articles such as shower caps and waterproof textiles should not be placed in a tumble

dryer.

Rubber-backed articles, fibreglass, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and

rubber-coated tennis shoes should not be placed in a tumble dryer.

If there are children in your house...

Electrical appliances may be dangerous for children. Keep children away from the machine when

it is operating. Do not let them tamper with the machine.

Close the loading door when you leave the area where the machine is located.

Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Safety and warnings

The proper location

Install your machine in environments which have no risk of freezing and in a stable and level

position.

Do not install the machine behind lockable door, a sliding door, or a door that is hinged on the

opposite side to that of the dryer, in such a way that the door of the machine cannot be opened fully.

Do not place your machine on a carpet covered floor, a long pile rug or on similar surfaces.

Operate your machine in a well ventilated, dust-free environment.

Make sure that your machine is not placed on the power cable.

Place it at least 30 mm away from the edges of other furniture and walls.

Place the machine on a sound floor.

A special part (Part No. 791746) must be used if the machine is to be installed under a counter or

in a cupboard. This replaces the top trim and must be installed by a Fisher & Paykel Authorised

Repairer. Never operate the machine without the top trim.

If the machine is to be placed on top of a washing machine, the approximate weight together

may reach 180 kg when they are full.

A stacking kit should be used between the products, fitted to the washing machine.

Stacking Kit White Part No. 790691

Levelling

In order to ensure that your machine operates quietly and vibration-free, it must stand level and

balanced on its feet.

Balance the machine by adjusting the front feet. Loosen the feet by hand, and adjust them until

the machine stands level and does not rock.

Never unscrew the adjustable feet from their housings.

Two plastic pieces supplied with the Installation Instructions and User Guide

prevent your machine from slipping on wet and slippery surfaces. Tilt your

machine backwards to install these plastic parts. Fit the plastic parts to the

front adjustable feet. Press on the plastic parts to fix them in their places. Check

the balance of your machine again and readjust the adjustable feet if necessary.

its end. Do not use any tools to take out the hose.

Attach the drain hose adaptor to the end of this hose.

Connect the special drain hose supplied with the

machine to the hose adaptor fitting.

The other end of the drain hose can be directly

connected to the wastewater drain or to the washbasin.

The fitting must always be secured in all types of

connections. Your house may be flooded if the hose gets

out of its housing during water discharge.

Important!



compared to the cottons programme. It is recommended for your synthetic clothes (such as

shirts, blouses, synthetic/cotton blended garments, etc).

Do not dry curtains and lace in your machine.

Wrinkle Guard

A two-hour WRINKLE GUARD programme to prevent laundry from creasing will be activated if you

do not take the laundry out after the programme has come to an end. This programme rotates

the laundry in 60-second intervals to prevent creasing.

Delicates

A lower temperature for your very delicate laundry (silk blouses, fine underwear, etc) that is

suitable for tumble drying or laundry which is recommended to be hand-washed.

Freshen up

This 10 minute airing cycle blows cool air through your clothes. It is used to freshen clothes and

deodorise unpleasant odours on items that have been kept in closed environments for long

periods.

Timed programmes

Select one of the 10 min, 20 min, 40 min and 60 min timed programmes to achieve the desired

final drying level at low temperatures. The machine dries for the selected time regardless of

the level of moisture in your clothes. It is important to check the clothes throughout the longer

timed programmes to avoid overdrying.
