Unpacking

To ensure the best performance from your new dryer please follow the instructions below.

Removing the packaging

1. Remove the outer packaging (including the polystyrene packer and plastic wrapping). All packaging must be removed prior to use.
2. Tilt the machine backwards and ‘walk’ it off the base one foot at a time. Not doing so may cause damage to your floor and dryer.
3. Remove all packaging and accessories from inside the drum.

Ensure packaging materials are kept out of reach of children. Please help protect the environment and dispose of the packaging from around the dryer in an environmentally friendly manner.

Location

Installation options

Your dryer can be installed one of two ways, either freestanding, or stacked on top of a Fisher & Paykel front loading washer (specific models only).

1. Free standing
   The dryer stands on the floor and can easily be moved into position.

2. Stacking
   Your dryer has been designed to be able to be stacked on top of a Fisher & Paykel WashSmartTM or QuickSmartTM front loading washer (WH8560P, WH8060P and WH8560J models only). A stacking kit MUST BE USED between the products and fitted correctly to the washing machine.
   Stacking Kit White: Part No. 427976.

3. Move the machine into the desired position. Do not lift the dryer by the top panel.

4. Have a minimum clearance on all sides of at least 20 mm.

5. Install the machine on a stable and level floor.

• Do not install your dryer in such a way that the dryer door cannot be opened fully.
• Do not install the dryer outside, in a damp place, where there is a risk of freezing, where it may be rained on, in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat.
• Do not place your machine on top of its power cable.

Leveling the machine

It is IMPORTANT to level the machine to ensure the machine runs efficiently with minimal noise. The dryer should be leveled in as close to its final position as possible so it stands balanced evenly on all four feet. Ensure the dryer does not rock in any direction.

After leveling, the corners of the dryer cabinet should be clear of the floor and the machine must not rock in any direction.

Draining

The dryer is equipped with a condenser unit which accumulates water during the drying cycle. This water is collected in the removable water tank located at the top left of the dryer. The accumulated water must be emptied after each drying cycle. However you can also set up your dryer to drain automatically using the drain hose provided.

Connecting the drain hose:

Remove the black drain hose from the connection at the back of the dryer (A) and place it on the other connection to the left (B). Uncoil the white drain hose and connect it to the back of the dryer where the black drain hose was previously connected (C). Place the other end of the white drain hose into a tub or standpipe. The connection between the dryer and the white drain hose (C) must be secured to avoid a potential flood. If you connect the white drain hose onto your dryer and you do not secure the other end in a drain, your dryer will drain water onto your floor. Ensure the drain hose is securely fixed in place to an appropriate drain and is leak-free at the connection to the machine.

•  Regularly check that your standpipe or tub is free from lint and other obstructions, which may affect drainage and cause flooding.
• The drain hose should be checked from time to time and replaced if any damage, eg wear, cuts, bulges, kinks, leaks, etc are found. Do not bend the drain hose sharply, as this may cause it to split.
• The extended length of the provided drain hose is 1.3 m.
• In multistory apartments or any upper floor, the machine should be installed on a floor equipped with a drain.
• Draining must comply with local by-laws.

Electrical connection

1. This appliance must be connected to a 220 V – 240 V, 50 Hz, sinusoidal, 10 A electrical supply.
2. Uncoil the power cord, remove and discard the plastic pin cover and plug into a power socket.
3. Connect the appliance to an earthed outlet protected by a fuse of suitable capacity.
   • Check the power cord for damage and make sure it is not squashed or twisted when installing the dryer.
   • Always remove the power cord from the power socket by the plug, not by the cord.

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. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN DEATH OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Do not touch or operate the machine with wet hands or with bare-feet. A damaged power cord must be replaced by a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. The appliance must not be operated until it is repaired, as there is risk of electric shock. Do not operate this machine if it has been damaged during transport. Contact your Fisher & Paykel dealer or Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician.
