Failure to do so can result in death or electric shock.

Safety Precautions

Read all instructions carefully before using this dryer.

Use this dryer only for its intended purpose as described in this User Guide.

To minimize the possibility of electric shock, unplug this dryer from the power supply or

disconnect the dryer at the household distribution panel (by removing the fuse or switching oﬀ

the circuit breaker) before attempting any user maintenance or cleaning.

Installation must conform with local codes, or in absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas

Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the Canadian Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1.

Installations and service must be performed by a qualiﬁed or licensed contractor, plumber or

gasﬁtter qualiﬁed or licensed by the state, province, or region where this appliance is being installed.

This dryer must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions

before it is used.

This dryer, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the

absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical

Code, CSA C22.1.

Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed to water or exposed to the weather.

Connect to a properly protected, rated and sized power supply circuit to avoid electrical overload.

Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing, unless speciﬁcally

recommended in the published user repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to

carry out.

When disconnecting the dryer, pull by the plug rather than the cord or junction of the cord plug,

to avoid damage to the cord or junction of the cord plug.

Make sure the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subject

to stress or damage.

Do not tamper with the controls.

Note: Turning the Cycle Selector knob to anOFF position does NOT disconnect the appliance

from the power supply.

Do not operate this dryer if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled or has missing

or broken parts, including a damaged cord or plug.

This dryer must be directly connected to an approved ﬁxed electrical outlet. It cannot be

plugged into an extension cord or an adaptor plug.

Important Safety 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 the Flu cycle.

A clothes dryer produces combustible lint and must be exhausted

outdoors. Take care to prevent the accumulation of lint around

the exhaust opening and in the surrounding area.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or personal

injury.

To Reduce the Risk of Fire in a Tumble Dryer the Following Should

be Observed:

Do not place items in a tumble dryer that have previously been cleaned in, washed in, soaked

in, or spot cleaned with ﬂammable liquids or solids. They are a ﬁre or explosion hazard. Highly

ﬂammable substances commonly used in domestic environments include acetone, denatured

alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some brands of spot removers and dry cleaning solvents, turpentine,

waxes, wax removers, vegetable oil, ﬁsh oil, massage oil, and cooking oil.

Do not leave hot oil-aﬀected items in a pile or stack. This can prevent heat from escaping and can

create a ﬁre hazard. 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.

Do not use heat to dry items containing rubber, foam rubber, plastic or similar materials, (such as

padded bras, bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby pants, plastic bags, pillows etc), as these materials might

melt or burn. Some rubber materials when heated can under certain circumstances produce ﬁre

by spontaneous combustion. Dry only on the FLUFF cycle.

Unless speciﬁcally recommended by their manufacturer, do not use fabric softeners or similar

products in a tumble dryer.

Do not store or use gasoline or other ﬂammable gases and liquids near this or any other

appliance.

Keep the area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding areas free from the

accumulation of combustible materials such as lint, paper, rags, chemicals etc.

Do not store any items that may burn or melt (such as paper materials, plastics or plastic

containers, etc) next to the dryer.

Clean the lint ﬁlter each time you use the dryer, before or after each load.

Important Safety Instructions

The dryer must be exhausted to the outside. Carefully follow the venting details in the Installation

Instructions.

Keep the ﬂoor around your dryer clean and dry to reduce the possibility of slipping.

If your dryer is running and you want to unload or add clothes, open the dryer door.

Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.

Close supervision is necessary if this dryer is used near children. Do not allow children to play

inside, around or with this dryer or any other appliance.

Never climb on, climb into, or stand on the dryer top or drum.

Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed directly 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 (available as an optional accessory refer to page 9).

The interior of the appliance and exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualiﬁed service

personnel.

When discarding or storing old clothes dryer, remove the door.

Warranty

Your dryer has been made to the highest standards. Years of development and rigorous testing

ensure that you have bought a world-class product, in the unlikely event that a problem should

occur, refer to the Limited Warranty section at the back of this Guide (refer to page 46).

If you have a problem with your dryer refer to our troubleshooting section. If your problem is not

referenced, please always contact your Fisher & Paykel Authorized Service Agent or our Customer

Care Center (Toll Free 1 888 9 FNP USA (1 888 9 367 872)) rather than attempting to ﬁx it yourself.

Installation Instructions

Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualiﬁed installer.

Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer’s instructions and local codes.

Do not install a clothes dryer with ﬂexible plastic venting materials. If ﬂexible metal (foil-type)

duct is installed, it must be of a speciﬁc type identiﬁed by the appliance manufacturer as suitable

for use with clothes dryers. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed,

and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airﬂow and increase the risk of ﬁre.

To reduce the risk of sever injury or death, follow all installation instructions.

Save these instructions

Read the Important Safety Instructions on pages 6 – 8 before you start

installing your dryer.

Check to make sure you have all the tools and parts necessary to correctly install this appliance.

Location Requirements

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Keep ammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away

from the dryer.

Place dryer at least 460mm (18 inches) above the oor for a

garage installation.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, re, or burns.

The dryer must be installed or stored in an area which is not exposed to water or weather.

It is extremely important that the dryer is installed in a well ventilated location. This dryer must

exhaust air outdoors. Do not install the dryer in any room or closet which does not permit the

free ﬂow of replacement air.

Allow suﬃcient room behind the dryer for the exhaust. The air intake is at the rear of the dryer.

Ensure that there is a suﬃcient air passage on each side of the dryer for intake air.
