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


button for 3 seconds to cancel the programme

(See ‘Ending the programme through cancelling’ page 11).

Your machine should 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 (eg old towels) 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 filter 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, fibre glass, 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.

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 together with the Installation Instructions and User

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

Fig.1 Fitting the non-slip foot caps


Ventilation hose and connection

The ventilation hose assures exhausting of the air from inside the machine. The vented dryer has one air outlet. Stainless sheet metal or aluminium pipes can be used instead of the hose.

The diameter of the pipe to be used should be of 100 mm minimum.

Maximum hose and pipe lengths are given in the table below.

Each elbow and other passages should be subtracted from the above maximum length.

Connect the air outlet hose to the hose spacer piece by turning it anti-clockwise in order to connect the ventilation hose. Make the hose passages as shown below.

Fig.2 Fitting the vent hose

The ventilation hose can be routed outdoors via a window or it can be connected to the air outlet in the bathroom.

To prevent water accumulation in the hose, make sure that it is not folded on the floor.

The air ventilation hose should not be connected to the chimney of a stove or a fireplace.

The exhausted air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.

Ensure that the air inlet openings are clear of obstruction.

Do not operate your machine at the same time with heaters such as a coal or gas stove.

Ensure adequate ventilation is provided to avoid the backflow of gasses into the room from appliances burning other fuels including open fires.

Electrical connection

Connect the machine to an earthed outlet protected by a fuse of suitable capacity.

Important!

Connection should comply with national regulations.

Power cord plug must be within easy reach after installation.

The voltage and the allowed fuse protection are specified in the section ‘Technical specifications’

(page 4).

The stated voltage must match with your mains voltage.

Connection via extension cords or multi-plugs should not be made.

The main fuse and switches must have a contact distance of minimum 3 mm.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

The appliance must not be operated unless it is repaired! There is the risk of electric shock!
