2 Introduction 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.
Safety and warnings 3 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. 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 and must be exhausted outdoors.
4 Safety 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.
Installation options 5 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 in such a way that the full opening of the door is inhibited. Ensure the dryer door can always be opened fully. Fig. 1 Free standing 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.
6 Installation – Electronic auto-sense and Rear-vented auto-timer dryers 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.
Installation – Electronic auto-sense and Rear-vented auto-timer dryers 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. Kit Vent External 400 mm Hose Part No. 460754 Movable venting Fig. 6 Flush 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.
8 Installation – Door-vented auto-timer dryer Dryer position The Door-vented auto-timer dryer is front venting, whereby the air is taken in through the grill at the rear of the dryer and vented out through the grill in the door at the front. 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.

Before you dry 11 Capacity The maximum capacity of your dryer (when the load is dry) is as follows: Model NZ/AU SG Electronic auto-sense dryer 5.0 kg 6.0 kg Rear-vented auto-timer dryer 5.0 kg 6.0 kg Door-vented auto-timer dryer 4.0 kg N/A Note: capacity ratings vary due to the qualifying criteria of different markets. ■■ Overloading the machine will affect the drying performance, and may damage items.
12 Cleaning the lint filter Electronic auto-sense and Rear-vented auto-timer dryers It is important to clean the 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 your dryer. The lint filter is located in the door opening. 1 2 Remove the lint filter, open it out and wipe clean with your hand. Close the lint filter and place it back in the opening. Fig.
Electronic auto-sense dryer 13 Your Electronic auto-sense dryer takes the guess work out of choosing drying times by sensing the dryness of the load. When your dryer senses that the clothes have dried to the dryness level you have selected, the dryer will automatically turn itself off. Using your dryer 1 2 3 4 5 6 Clean the lint filter before every load. Load the clothes into the dryer. Press POWER. Select the dryness level. Select the temperature setting and other drying options. Press START/PAUSE.
14 Electronic auto-sense dryer 1 hour setting The 1 hour setting is a manual cycle which dries continuously for 60 minutes. The manual cycle does not sense when your clothes are dry. You can use the 1 hour setting when using a drying rack to dry shoes, hats and other items that are best dried without tumbling. Note: it is important to check the clothes throughout the manual cycle to avoid overdrying.
Electronic auto-sense dryer Temperature settings This dryer has 3 temperature settings; Regular, Low and Airing. ■■ ■■ ■■ The Regular setting is for drying most fabrics. The Low setting is for drying delicates and synthetics. It outputs half the amount of heat compared to the regular setting, so the temperatures are lower for maximum care of the fabrics. The Airing setting is a cycle designed to freshen up garments. The airing setting operates only on the 1 hour manual cycle.
16 Rear and Door-vented auto-timer dryers Your auto-timer dryer has been designed so you can select how long you want the clothes to dry for. So you know exactly when your clothes will be ready. Using your dryer 1 2 3 4 Clean the lint filter before every load. Load the clothes into the dryer and close the door. Turning the dial clockwise only, select the desired cycle and drying time. Try to remove the clothes from the dryer as soon as the cycle is completed to help prevent creasing.
Rear and Door-vented auto-timer dryers 17 Airing / Cool down When the dryer has finished drying it will automatically go into a 12 minute airing or cool down cycle. During airing the drum tumbles and cool air is blown through the clothes. This reduces creasing if the clothes are left in the dryer. This phase of the drying cycle can be used to air clothes. Drying times With your new dryer it may take a few trials before you can accurately predict the correct drying time for each individual load.
18 Operating problems If your dryer is not operating properly use the checklist below to find the possible solution. Pressing POWER or setting the timer does not turn the machine on. Is the electrical cord plugged in? Is the power switched on at the wall? Is the door securely closed? Could your household power supply be at fault? Try plugging in another electrical appliance. Make sure the timer is not in the OFF position. Clothes are still damp.
