Congratulations on purchasing a Fisher & Paykel dryer. Your new dryer will give you the

convenience of tumble drying and your clothes the advantage of not being subjected to the

harsh overdrying effects of the sun. Your clothes will feel softer, retain their shape better and will

require less ironing.

At Fisher & Paykel we aim to provide products that are simple to use, ergonomic and energy

efficient. Thousands of tonnes of washing and 70 years of laundry experience have been

programmed into your dryer to help give you the best possible performance.

We hope you enjoy your new dryer. We have certainly enjoyed designing it.

Cost to dry

Many people are reluctant to use a dryer because

they believe they are expensive to run. True enough,

sunshine is free, but we don’t always have sunshine

and the benefits to you and your clothes can make

machine drying worthwhile.

The following example of a 2.5 kg load is used to

demonstrate the cost of drying.

4 T-shirts

1 Sweat Shirt

5 Pair Underpants

5 Pairs Socks

1 Pair Trousers

2 Pair Shorts

3 Handkerchiefs

This load was spun at a high spin speed (1000 rpm) and dried in an Electronic dryer on dryness

level 4 (Medium dry and Extra dry lights on). The load took 60 minutes to dry.

For example if power costs 20 cents / unit, the load will cost approximately 30 cents to dry

(1.48 units x 20c). Check with your local Electricity Supply Authority for your domestic tariff.

Before using your dryer

Ensure the correct installation has been used for the dryer type. The Electronic and Auto-timer

4.5 kg dryers are rear venting dryers while the Auto-timer 3.5 kg dryer is a front venting dryer.

Read the Safety and Installation Instructions.

Introduction

Safety and warnings

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 Airing.

A clothes dryer produces combustible lint and must be exhausted outdoors.

Take care to prevent the accumulation of lint around the exhaust opening

and surrounding area.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or personal injury.

Dryer use

The tumble dryer is intended only for drying textile material washed in water.

The dryer should not be used to dry unwashed items.

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.

Never dry rubber articles, fibreglass, or any plastic items or film eg. plastic lined tablecloths and

baby bibs.

Clothes should go through the cool down/airing phase of the cycle. 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 spread out to cool and 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.

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.

Young children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the dryer.

Important!

If you are using an extension cord or a 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.

4Safety and warnings

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.

If you change the mounting of the dryer from upright to inverted or vice versa, the dryer must

be cleaned internally by a serviceman.

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 or 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,

waxes or other flammable or explosive substances should not be placed in a tumble dryer.

Highly flammable substances commonly used in domestic environments include acetone,

denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosene, some brands of spot removers, turpentine, waxes

and wax removers.

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, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, fibreglass, shoes

containing rubber, plastic items such as shower caps, and babies waterproof napkin covers

should not be placed in the dryer.

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

should not be dried on any heat setting. Dry these garments on Airing. Foam rubber material can

when heated produce fire by spontaneous combustion.

Important!

The dryer must be installed in a suitable location.

Do not install the dryer behind a lockable door, sliding door, or

behind a door where the hinge is on the opposite side to that of the

dryer door. Ensure the dryer door can always be opened fully.

There are several different ways you can install your dryer.

1. Free standing

The dryer stands on the floor and can easily be

moved into position.

2. Plinth*

Electronic and Auto-timer 4.5 kg only

A plinth, with adjustable feet, allows the dryer to be:

– matched in height to your washer.

– installed under a bench.

Plinths can be purchased from your dealer.

115 mm Plinth Part No. 94832

60 mm Plinth Part No. 94852

3. Upright wall mounting*

All models

The wall mounting kit allows the dryer to be

installed at any desired height minimising the

amount of bending and stretching.

Wall Mounting Kit Part No. 502067

4. Inverted wall mounting*

All models

A wall mounting kit and inverted panel allows you

to install the dryer above the washer or tub.

Electronic Inverted Panel Part No. 427776

Wall Mounting Kit Part No. 502067

* Contact your dealer for assistance with plinths,

inversion kits and wall mounting kits

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 backflow 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

The dryer has been designed to be externally vented 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 should be:

Made from galvanised metal pipe or be sleeved with

a galvanised metal pipe where the vent system goes

through a wall or ceiling.

Exhausted outside and not into another confined space.

Fitted with a vent cap outside to stop rain water entering

the dryer exhaust system.

Angled to avoid condensation running back into the dryer.

Less than 2 m long. Special installation is required for ducting over 2 m. Contact your Authorised

Service Centre.

DO NOT use the internal vent deflector as an external weather cap as this will cause restriction of

the airflow and a loss in performance.

Installation – Electronic and Auto-timer 4.5 kg dryers

Fig. 5 External venting

Flush venting

The dryer is vented through a hole in the wall, using a

galvanised metal pipe or flexible hose. This is suitable for floor

and wall mounted dryers installed against an outside wall.

Flexible Hose 400 mm Part No. 460754

Movable venting

The dryer is vented using a flexible hose through a hole in the

wall. This allows the dryer to be moved from the wall slightly.

Suitable for floor mounted dryers only.

Flexible Hose 2 m Part No. 503858

Window venting

A flexible hose is used to vent the dryer through a window.

Maximum hose length is 2 metres.

Flexible Hose 2 m Part No. 503858

Venting duct

The dryer is vented using an extendible duct that allows

venting to a window or through an existing wall vent. The

duct can be used with a flexible hose. Specially suitable for

inverted dryers.

Venting Duct Kit Part No. 460886

Flexible Hose 2 m Part No. 503858

Internal venting

Included with the dryer is a vent deflector. This screws on

to the back of the dryer over the exhaust outlet. If external

venting is not possible the deflector must be fitted. The

outlet of the vent deflector must be clear of any obstructions

to ensure normal and safe operation.

Dryer position

The Auto-timer 3.5 kg dryer is front venting. The air

is taken in through the grill at the rear of the dryer

and vented out through the grill in the door.

The dryer should be positioned so that the air

intake at the rear is unrestricted. The minimum

clearance needed from the wall is 50 mm.

Included with this dryer are two plastic spacers.

Fitting these on the rear of the dryer will ensure

the dryer is correctly positioned away from the wall.

Use screws provided to fit the spacers. (As shown

in the diagram.)

Directional outlet grill

The outlet grill can be rotated to direct the exhaust

air. It should be adjusted so that it points towards

an external window or door.
