Welcome to your new condenser dryer

Thank you for purchasing a Fisher & Paykel clothes dryer. Your new dryer gives 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 require less ironing.

At Fisher & Paykel we aim to provide innovative products that are simple to use, ergonomic, energy efficient and kind to the environment. Thousands of tons of laundry and 75 years of laundry experience have been programmed into your dryer to help give you the best possible performance.

Your dryer has the benefit of not needing to be vented outside, instead it condenses the moisture from the clothes and collects this in a water tank, or can pump it directly into a drain.

This dryer has been specifically designed to complement our front loading Fisher & Paykel WashSmart™ and FabricSmart™ washers. We are proud of this dryer and trust it will serve you well for many years.

Your condensing dryer has numerous cycles and options so you can perform every drying task (including flat drying) with ease, allowing you to spend less time in the laundry. With the ability to automatically sense when your clothes are dry, your dryer is more efficient, making it kinder on your wallet and the environment.

Please take the time to read these instructions carefully before you begin using your dryer. Following the advice in this User guide will ensure you get the performance you expect from your dryer and that you get the best possible results. Keep these instructions for future reference and pass them on with your dryer, if it changes hands.

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

• Failure to follow the advice in this guide may result in damage to your garments and your expectations of drying performance may not be met.

Your dryer has a number of drying cycles to suit your laundry needs. Selecting the most appropriate cycle for each particular load will help ensure you get the best result.

CYCLE DESIGNED FOR DESCRIPTION			MAX. LOAD SIZE (KG)
Cottons Cottons and most linens. A high heat cycle for cottons and linens.			8
Everyday Mixed loads consisting of cottons and polyester blends. Casual wear.		A cycle for rapid drying of everyday clothing. 8
Heavy Heavy durable garments, eg work sweatshirts/jerseys and jeans.		A longer, high heat cycle for heavy fabrics and denim. 8
Bulky Large coats, bed spreads, mattress covers, sleeping bags, blankets, comforters, jackets, small rugs, and similar large and bulky items.		A medium heat cycle for the special care of bulky items.	4
Sanitize Bed linen, tea towels, socks. A high heat cycle for reducing certain types of bacteria by 99.6%, including: Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The antibacterial process occurs when high heat is used during a portion of this drying cycle.			8
Permanent Press	Business shirts and clothing that creases easily.	A short, medium heat cycle with the ‘Wrinkle Free’ option selected for easily creasable items.	4
Delicate Lingerie and special-care fabrics.		A shorter, cooler cycle for carefully drying delicate and heat sensitive fabrics.	4
Sheets Sheets, pillowcases and duvet/doona covers.		High heat cycle with reversing, to improve the movement of large items such as sheets and duvet/doona covers and help reduce tangling.	4
Freshen Items that have been in storage or have not been worn/used for some time.		A short cycle with a burst of heat followed by cool air to help de-wrinkle and refresh items.	1 - 3 items
Rack Dry Drying delicate items without tumbling.		Use drying rack accessory. Place items flat on the drying rack such as wool sweaters and delicate fabrics. Dry with low heat.	1 - 2 items
Time Dry Drying items for a selected period of time.		A cycle with user selectable 30 - 150 minute drying times.	8
Air Dry Drying items for a specific time period, without heat.		40 minute cycle with no heat.	8
Sports	Sports items, eg running gear.	A low heat cycle designed for the special care of sports items.	4

All drying cycles default to the recommended options for that cycle based on the average expected load size to be dried using that cycle. You can vary the options (eg 'Dryness Level', 'Dry Temp') to create your desired cycle. Note: some options are not available on some cycles for clothes care reasons, or because the option is not appropriate for the cycle.

To change a drying option or options you have selected after a cycle has started, touch and select your new setting, then touch again to resume the cycle with the new setting or settings.

Note: some options may not be available for selection under certain conditions and after particular stages of the drying cycle have passed.

Dryness Level

Your 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 finish the cycle.

The dryer has five dryness levels from 'Damp' through to 'Extra Dry'. Choose the dryness level to suit your load depending on how dry you wish for your clothes to be. If you find the load is not dry enough, select the next dryness level up. The higher the level, the longer the drying time and the drier your clothes will become.

Note: two lights are used to show some dryness levels. For example, to achieve the Damp Dry setting both the 'Dry' and the 'Damp' lights will be illuminated.

Airing/Cool down (Cool)

When the dryer has sensed that the load is dry it will automatically go into a cool down period. This will be a minimum of 5 minutes and could be longer depending on the conditions in the laundry room.

Dry Temp

There are four drying temperatures you can choose from:

High: For regular to heavy cottons.
Medium: For synthetics, some blends and items labeled Permanent Press.
- Low: For delicates, synthetics and items labeled Tumble Dry Low.
- No Heat: This option may only be used with 'Air Dry' and 'Time Dry', in which items are tumbled without heat.

Touch the 'Dry Temp' button until the light next to your desired drying temperature is illuminated.

Wrinkle Free

If you wish to minimize wrinkling, select one of the 'Wrinkle Free' options. At the end of the cycle, the drum will rotate periodically and cool air will be circulated through the load to minimize wrinkling and creasing. This is particularly useful if you cannot remove the items immediately after the cycle ends. There are two wrinkle free options:

'On' provides 'Wrinkle Free' operation for 2 hours.

'Extra' provides 'Wrinkle Free' operation for 24 hours.

If you wish to stop the dryer at any stage during the 'Wrinkle Free' stage of the cycle, simply touch You can then open the dryer door and remove your items. Press 'POWER' to stop the cycle and turn the dryer off.

Signal

The 'Signal' option automatically defaults to 'On' for all cycles. This means a series of beeps will sound at the end of a cycle, to alert you that the dryer has finished. You can turn the 'Signal' off by touching the 'Signal' button twice (no lights will then be illuminated).

When you select a dryness level above damp/dry and wish your dryer to alert you to remove items once your load reaches the damp/dry stage, touch the 'Signal' button once to select 'Damp Dry'. Ensure 'On' is also selected. When your load reaches the damp/dry stage, the dryer will beep to alert you to remove your items, then continue drying until the remaining load reaches the dryness level you selected.

Indicators

There are a number of indicators to alert you when you need to attend to your dryer, either to clean the lint filter, empty the water tank or to clean the condenser (refer to the 'Caring for your dryer' section).

Keylock

This option enables you to deactivate the buttons on the display panel, except for the 'POWER' and buttons. This option helps prevent accidental button presses.

To turn Keylock mode ON or OFF, at any time when the dryer is powered on:

Touch and hold the button for 2 seconds.

Note: when activated, the light above the button is illuminated.

If Keylock mode is activated and the machine is powered off:

• To turn your dryer on, press the 'POWER' button, then touch and hold the button for 2 seconds to turn Keylock off. Select your drying cycle, any options and then touch to start the cycle.

Delay Start

The 'Delay Start' option enables you to delay the start of the drying cycle from between 5 minutes and 12 hours. Times you can select are 5 min, 15 min, 30 min, 1 hour, then hourly up to 12 hours. This can be useful to time your drying to finish when you arrive home from work, or to start when power rates are lower.

To programme a 'Delay Start', simply touch the 'More' button to increase the delay time and 'Less' button to decrease the time or to turn 'Delay Start' off. Touch to confirm your selection and start the countdown. Once the 'Delay Start' has been started, the time will count down on the digital display in one minute increments, the 'Delay Start' light will flash and the light will stop flashing and turn on solid.

Note: if you hold the 'More' button down, the time displayed on the screen will increase after every half a second (more convenient than touching the button repetitively). To remove a 'Delay Start' time once it is counting down, simply touch then touch the 'Less' button to decrease the time to zero. Touch start the cycle immediately.

IMPORTANT!

We suggest that you avoid using 'Delay Start' for damp, non-colorfast items as this may cause dye run to occur.

Customizing dryer cycles

After using your dryer a few times you may discover there are some drying options you prefer for some cycles.

You can programme your dryer to remember the drying options you prefer for each drying cycle. For instance, you may want to set the 'Perm Press' cycle to a lower drying temperature or set the 'Everyday' cycle so it automatically has the 'Wrinkle Free' option selected.

To customize a cycle:

① Press 'POWER' to turn the machine on.
② Turn the dial to select the cycle you wish to customize.
③ Touch and hold any of the drying options buttons for 3 seconds. The lights will flash on and off to indicate that the machine is in cycle adjustment mode.
④ Select the drying options you prefer by touching the relevant option button.
⑤ Touch to save the selected settings. The dryer will then beep to indicate your customized cycle has been saved.

Factory reset

You can reset your dryer to the default settings it left the factory with:

① Turn the dial to select the 'Freshen' cycle.
② Touch and hold the 'Delay Start', 'More' +, the 'Delay Start', 'Less' and 'Signal' buttons together for three seconds.

Fire Hazard ·Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from dryer. ·DO NOT dry anything that has ever had anything flammable on it (even after washing). ·No washer can completely remove oil. ·DO NOT dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on it (including cooking oils). ·Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried on a clothesline. ·Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

• As a general rule, if clothes are sorted properly for the washer, they are sorted properly for the dryer. Try also to sort items according to size. For example, do not dry a sheet with socks or other small items.
• Do not add fabric softener sheets once the load has become warm, they may cause fabric softener stains.
• Do not overload. This wastes energy and causes wrinkling.

Drying rack

A handy drying rack may be used for drying delicate items such as washable sweaters. Place items flat on the drying rack. Dry with low heat.

A drying rack is installed in your dryer when it leaves the factory. To remove it, tilt the top of the rack towards you to detach the legs from the slots in the lint filter, and gently remove from the drum. Do the reverse to reinstall it.

Note:

• The drying rack is designed for use with the 'Rack Dry' cycle. Use with sensor cycles may result in damp items or extended cycle times.
• Do not use this drying rack when there are other clothes in the dryer that are not placed on the rack.

Cleaning your dryer

Cleaning the control panel and outer surfaces of the dryer

Use a soft damp cloth to wipe all surfaces, then wipe dry. Avoid using chemical or scouring cleaners, as these will damage the paint and plastic surfaces of your dryer.

Cleaning the inside of your dryer

It is important that you occasionally clean the inside of your dryer. If the drum has any residual dirt or lint stuck to it, remove this and wipe it clean with a damp cloth. Do not leave any metal objects in the drum, as these may cause rust.

Cleaning the lint filter

• Lint is generally formed during wearing and washing. Fibres (ie lint) released from the clothes during the drying cycle are collected in the lint filter.
  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 (at the bottom).
• There is a warning light that will flash at the beginning of every cycle to remind you to clean the filter. The warning light will also flash on and off during the cycle if the filter becomes blocked. The filter should be cleaned as soon as the 'Lint Filter' light starts flashing. Lint becomes a fire hazard if left to build up, and will reduce the efficiency of your dryer.

To clean the filter:

① Open the dryer door.
② Remove the lint filter by pulling it up and out of the filter slot. Open it out and wipe the surface clean with your hand.
③ Close the lint filter and place it back in the opening. Ensure the filter is fitted correctly back in place before operating the dryer.

Have a qualified technician vacuum the lint from the dryer once a year.

Lint filter

Drum lamp

Note: the drum light is not consumer replaceable. If this light should ever stop working, call for service.

When the door is opened, the drum light automatically turns on and remains on for two minutes. When the door is closed, the drum light will remain on for 30 seconds.

Emptying the water collection tank

During the drying cycle steam condenses into water and is collected in the water tank, located at the top left of the dryer. It is important to empty the water tank after every load.

There is an indicator light that will illuminate when the water tank needs emptying. A user warning will also be displayed on the screen (refer to the 'Before you call for service' section). If the water tank becomes full during operation, the dryer will go into 'Cool' mode for several minutes, then pause and beep to alert you. Empty the tank and touch to resume the cycle.

Note: you do not need to empty the water tank if you have set up the drain hose to drain the water automatically (refer to 'Installation instructions' page 15).

To empty the water tank:

1 Remove the water tank by holding onto the handle and pulling outwards gently to remove it. Hold tank with both hands and ensure that you keep the tank level when it is being removed to prevent the water collected from spilling.
Pour the water down the sink or into a bucket, and then put the tank back in place.

IMPORTANT!

• Do not use the water collected in the water tank for drinking or food processing.
• Never run the dryer without the water tank in place.
• If the water tank becomes full, the tumble dryer will pause drying and will sound an alarm. You must empty the water tank before the dryer can continue drying. Empty the tank, replace it back in the housing then touch to resume the cycle.

Cleaning the condenser

If the 'Condenser' indicator light starts to flash this indicates that the condenser needs to be cleaned. The condenser should be cleaned once a month. The light illuminates when you first turn the machine on, then turns off once the button has been touched.

To clean the condenser:

① Open the condenser cover.
② Turn the two condenser lock levers 90 degrees then pull out the condenser.
③ Clean the condenser with pressurized water and wait until the water drains.
④ Replace the condenser.
⑤ Turn the two condenser lock levers to lock the condenser back in place again. Make sure that these locks are engaged securely.
Close the condenser cover.

User warnings

Your dryer is capable of diagnosing a number of its own problems. It will sound a continuous series of beeps and display a code when it has a problem that you can correct yourself. All control panel lights will turn off and a code will be displayed to inform you what the problem is. To stop the beeps sounding, press any button on the control panel. Do not try to continue your drying cycle once you stop the noise, you must address the problem the dryer is alerting you to.

Record the fault code number displayed and the serial number of your dryer (located on the inside of the door below the glass) before calling. The fault code will indicate to the service technician what the problem could potentially be.

If a fault code is being displayed, you can still turn your dryer off by pressing 'POWER'.

The following is a list of problems you may encounter when using this appliance and some suggestions that may help to correct the problem. If you still have problems, please contact a properly trained installer.

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES WHAT TO DO
Dryer shakes or makes noise.	Some shaking/noise is normal. Move dryer to an even floor space, or adjust leveling legs as necessary until even.
	Dryer may be sitting unevenly.
Clothes take too long to dry.	Improper sorting. Separate heavy items from lightweight items (generally, a well-sorted washer load is a well-sorted dryer load).
	Large loads of heavy fabrics (like beach towels). Large, heavy fabrics contain more moisture and take longer to dry. Separate large, heavy fabrics into smaller loads to speed up drying time.
	Non-venting dryer. Condensing dryers usually take longer to dry than a vented dryer.
	Controls improperly set. Match control settings to the load you are drying.
	Lint filter is full. Clean the lint filter before every load.
	Blown fuses or tripped circuit breaker. Replace fuses or reset circuit breakers. Since most dryers use 2 fuses/breakers, make sure both are operating.
	Overloading/combining loads. Do not put more than one washer load in the dryer at a time.
	Underloading. If you are drying only one or two items, add a few items to ensure proper tumbling.

PROBLEM POSSIBLE	CAUSES WHAT TO DO
The 'Dry' dryness level was chosen but load is still damp.	Load consists of a mixture of heavy and light fabrics.	When combining heavy and light fabrics in a load, choose a higher dryness level.
	Lint filter, condenser, and/or air intake vent located on the front of the dryer is blocked.	Inspect and clean lint filter, condenser, and/or air intake vent located on the front of the dryer.
	Dryness sensors are dirty. Clean the sensors with a moist cloth. These are the metal ribs located in the drum behind the lint filter.
Control buttons not responding.	Controls accidentally put in service mode.	Press▶II.
	Controls accidentally put in 'Keylock' mode.	Hold the ➤ button for 3 seconds to unlock the dryer.
	Controls performed an incorrect operation.	Check the building's fuse/circuit breaker box and replace fuse or reset breaker. Note: electric dryers use two fuses or breakers.
Dryer doesn't start.	Control panel is "asleep". This is normal. Press 'POWER' to activate the control panel.
	Dryer is unplugged. Make sure the dryer plug is pushed completely into the outlet.
	Fuse is blown/circuit breaker is tripped.	Check the building's fuse/circuit breaker box and replace fuse or reset breaker. Note: electric dryers use two fuses or breakers.
	Dryer was accidentally paused when starting 'Delay Start'.	If the light on the ➤ button is flashing, the dryer is paused. Press ➤ to restart the countdown.
	Water tank is full. If the 'Water Tank' light is on, you must empty the water tank before the dryer will start. Refer to the 'Caring for your dryer' section for instructions on emptying the water tank.
No numbers displayed during cycle, only lights.	Dryer is continuously monitoring the amount of moisture in the clothes.	This is normal. When the dryer senses a low level of moisture in the load, the dryer will display the dry time remaining.
‘TIME TO GO’ jumped to a lower number.	The estimated time may change when a smaller load than usual is being dried.	This is normal.
Cannot make a selection and the dryer beeps twice.	The dryness level, temperature, or option that you are trying to select is incompatible with the chosen dry cycle.	This is normal.
Dryer is running but 00 is displayed in ‘TIME TO GO’.	The ‘Wrinkle Free’, ‘Extra’ option was chosen.	This is normal. During extended tumbling, the time remaining is not displayed.
Int cln Clean lint filter (message).	‘POWER’ button was activated.	Press ➔ll to begin a dry cycle and the message will disappear.
Dryer doesn’t heat.	Fuse is blown/circuit breaker is tripped; the dryer may tumble but not heat.	Check the building’s fuse/circuit breaker box and replace both fuses or reset both breakers. Your dryer may tumble if only one fuse is blown or one breaker tripped.
Inconsistent drying times.	Type of load and drying conditions.	The load size, types of fabric, wetness of clothes and the condition of the lint filter, condenser, and/or air intake vent located on the front of the dryer will affect drying times.
	Excess debris has collected in the condenser preventing proper airflow.	Refer to the ‘Caring for your dryer’ section.
Glow at the rear of the drum.	Heaters behind the drum. This is normal. Under certain drying conditions and room ambient lighting, the glow of the heaters may be visible at the rear of the drum.
Clothes are still wet and dryer shut off after a short time.	The door was opened mid-cycle. The load was then removed from the dryer and a new load put in without selecting a new cycle.	A dry cycle must be reselected each time a new load is put in.
	Small load. When drying 3 items or less, choose 'Time Dry'.
	Load was already dry except for collars and waistbands	Choose 'Time Dry' to dry damp collars and waistbands. In the future, when drying a load with collars and waistbands, choose a higher dryness level.
	Dryer is not level. Move dryer to an even floor space or adjust leveling legs as necessary until even.
Clothes are wrinkled.	Overdrying. Select a shorter drying time.
		Remove items while they still hold a slight amount of moisture. Select a lower dryness setting.
	Letting items sit in dryer after cycle ends.	Remove items when cycle ends and fold or hang immediately, or use the 'Wrinkle Free', 'Extra' option.
	Overloading. Separate large loads into smaller ones.
Clothes shrink. Some fabrics will naturally shrink when washed. Others can be safely washed, but will shrink in the dryer.		To avoid shrinkage, follow garment care labels exactly.
		Some items may be pressed back into shape after drying.
		If you are concerned about shrinkage in a particular item, do not machine wash or tumble dry it.
Greasy spots on clothes.	Improper use of fabric softener.	Follow directions on fabric softener package.
