SAFETY AND WARNINGS
! WARNING!
Fire Hazard
zz Only dry fabrics that have been washed with water.
zz Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly
textured rubber–like materials, dry on ‘Air Dry’.
zz Never 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.
zz A clothes dryer produces combustible lint; the lint filter must be
cleaned before each drying cycle.
zz Failure to follow the warnings outlined in these user instructions can
cause a fire hazard.
zz Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or personal injury.
3
SAFETY AND WARNINGS
When using this appliance always exercise basic safety precautions including
the following:
Dryer use
zz 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.
zz The tumble dryer is intended only for drying textile material washed in water.
zz 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 or place in a garment bag.
zz Check and remove all objects from pockets, eg lighters and matches.
zz Never dry rubber articles, or any plastic items or film, eg plastic lined tablecloths
and baby bibs.
zz Clothes should go through the cool down/airing phase in the final part of the cycle.
This ensures items are left at a temperature where they will not be damaged. 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 quickly spread out
flat to cool so heat can dissipate, not left bunched up, eg in a clothes basket.
Do not operate this product without the lint filter in place or allow lint to accumulate
in or around the dryer.
zz 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.
zz Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the dryer.
zz Unplug the machine from the power supply when it is not in use.
zz Do not swing on or put weight on the door.
zz Your dryer is designed to stop operating in the event of power outage.
When power is resumed, the machine will remain off until the ‘Power’ button is
pressed. To restart the dryer, press ‘Power’, select your drying cycle and touch .
zz Never attempt to repair the dryer yourself.
zz The only user-removable parts of the dryer are the lint filter, drying rack and
reversible console. No other parts are designed to be removed by anyone other than
a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician.
zz For problems that cannot be solved from information in this User Guide, turn off and
unplug your dryer and contact a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician.
zz Do not overload your dryer beyond its rated capacity:
Model Maximum capacity
DE4560M 4.5Kg
DE6060M 6Kg
DE7060M 7Kg
zz Never put dripping wet clothes in or on top of the dryer as excess water may cause an
electrical hazard.
zz Do not under any circumstances dry an electric blanket or any other electrical, plastic
or rubber items in your dryer, unless the care label specifically states it is safe to do
so. Never dry these items at high temperatures.
4
SAFETY AND WARNINGS
zz Do not dry curtains in your dryer. Sunlight makes them brittle and they may
disintegrate during drying.
zz Do not use the water collected in the water tank for drinking or food processing.
zz Never run the dryer without the water tank in place.
zz 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.
Lint
zz 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.
zz Clean the lint filter before every load.
zz Ensure the area around the dryer is clear of lint.
zz At regular intervals have the interior of the dryer cleaned of any accumulated lint.
This must be done by a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician.
This must be done when the dryer installation is changed from free standing.
zz The dryer exhaust ducting should be inspected and cleaned periodically to remove
accumulated lint.
zz If the lint filter becomes damaged, contact your Fisher & Paykel trained and supported
service technician to arrange getting a new filter. Do not operate your dryer with a
damaged lint filter or without the filter in place, as this will cause damage to your dryer.
Installation
zz The dryer must be installed in a well-ventilated, dust-free environment.
zz The dryer must not be installed on any textured floor coverings (eg carpet, rugs) to
ensure that openings at the base of the machine are not obstructed.
zz 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.
zz Please refer to INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION section of this document for detailed
installation steps.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
Spontaneous combustion
IMPORTANT!
To reduce the risk of fire in a tumble dryer the following should be observed:
zz 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.
zz 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.
zz 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 and piled or
stacked while hot.
zz 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, acetone, denatured alcohol, some brands of spot removers,
turpentine, waxes and wax removers or other flammable or explosive substances
should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
zz Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
zz The dryer is not to be used if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning.
zz 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.
zz Rubber backed articles, foam rubber (latex foam), clothes or pillows fitted with
foam rubber pads, fibreglass, shoes containing rubber, shower caps, babies
waterproof napkin covers and waterproof textiles should not be dried in the dryer.
These materials can when heated produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
zz When choosing to tumble dry a duvet/doona use low-medium heat only and make
sure the drum is not overloaded due to the risk of overheating and scorching.
zz Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes
from appliances burning gas or other fuels.
Disposal
Extreme care must be taken when disposing of your old appliance to avoid hazards.
zz When disposing of the dryer, it is recommended that the door is removed to avoid
children getting trapped inside, and that the electrical cable is cut off close to the dryer.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
zz Venting
zz Correct installation is very important for all dryers to ensure maximum efficiency
and safety.
zz
zz Never run the dryer unless the airflow system is free from obstruction.
zz There must be adequate ventilation to avoid the back flow of gases into the room
from appliances burning fuels, including open fires, when operating the dryer.
zz Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes
from appliances burning gas or other fuels.
zz External venting
zz Your dryer has been designed to be vented outside to provide the following advantages:
zz Ensures optimum efficiency by preventing recirculation of moist air.
zz Eliminates condensation on walls and ceilings.
zz Reduces the chance of lint being sucked into the dryer.
zz Prevents lint and other fine particles being blown into the room.
zz Internal venting
zz The dryer is set up in the factory for front venting. If front venting is used there must be
adequate ventilation to avoid the build up of moisture in the room, which can affect the
performance of the dryer. Venting must comply with local by-laws and regulations.

SORTING AND LOADING
When preparing your load there are some important things to consider:
Sorting
zz We recommend sorting your garments before placing them into the dryer.
Sort into loads of similar items, and loads that will likely take similar times to dry.
Heavier items (eg towels, and flannelette sheets) are best dried separately from
lightweight items (eg synthetics, polyester-cotton sheets and shirts).
This prevents some items becoming over-dried while others are still damp
and helps extend the life of your clothing and linen.
zz Fisher & Paykel recommends tumble drying bulky items such as duvets/doonas
on low-medium heat only. Do not overload the drum because this can cause
scorching of the item.
zz Care labels provide valuable information about the fabric type and how the item
should be dried. Always follow advice on care labels and only dry items in this dryer
with care labels indicating tumble drying is suitable.
zz Drying your clothes as soon as you remove them from the washer will decrease
both wrinkles formation and dye transfer from coloured to white items.
zz Separate coloured items from white/light items where possible, especially when
new. Colour run may be an issue, particularly if you intend to delay the start of the
drying cycle.
zz We recommend that articles of clothing with screen-printing are turned inside out
to prevent damage to the print. Hooks or zippers should be fastened and where
possible and those items turned inside out.

23
SORTING AND LOADING
zz Check pockets for items that could damage your clothes or get caught in the dryer.
zz Close zippers, hooks and eyes, and other fastenings (ie fasten the openings of duvet/
doona covers), and remove loose bra wires. These may damage both your dryer and
your clothes.
zz Check the lint filter is clean and the water tank is empty (if the dryer is not set up to
drain automatically).
Loading
Garments need to be loaded correctly to minimise creasing and wrinkling, and to
ensure the load is dried evenly.
zz Allow enough room in the dryer for clothes to tumble freely. (Hint: load the dryer in
terms of the space the garments take up when dry, rather than when they are wet).
zz Shake clothes out and load individually to help items dry evenly and reduce tangling.
zz Only dry a sheet load up to a maximum of 4kg in the dryer at one time.
zz Hang garments as soon as the drying cycle is complete to reduce the need for ironing.
Drying times
zz Drying very small loads is inefficient. Try to dry medium to large loads.
zz Heavier items (towels, flannelette sheets) will take longer to dry than light items
(synthetics and polyester cotton sheets and shirts).
zz Drying times can be reduced by spinning the wash load at the highest spin speed
suitable for the load type in your washing machine.
zz Check bulky items during the cycle to ensure even drying, pause the dryer and
reposition the item if necessary.
Remove the duvet/doona from the dryer every half hour or so and fluff to redistribute
the filling. Return items to the dryer and continue the cycle. This will ensure that your
duvet/doona dries evenly.
24
GETTING STARTED QUICKLY
Lint
Some items are lint givers, while others are lint collectors. Always dry lint givers
and collectors separately.
zz Check the lint filter is clean before every load. Ensure it is replaced correctly before
using your dryer.
zz The lint filter indicator light will flash at the beginning of every cycle when the machine
is switched on, as a reminder to check the lint filter.
zz Sort and load items into the dryer drum, ensuring no items are in the way of the door.
Close the door.
zz If you make an invalid selection the dryer will beep to alert you.
zz When the cycle finishes, your dryer will beep and then turn off automatically.
zz If you wish to change a cycle once drying has started, press then select the
new cycle. Press to restart the dryer with the new cycle. This may affect
drying performance.
zz If you wish to stop the dryer before the cycle has finished you MUST remove
the clothes IMMEDIATELY and spread them out to cool. DO NOT leave the clothes
in the dryer or bunched up in a clothes basket. Take extreme care as the drum
and the load items may be extremely hot.
zz 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.
25
CUSTOMISING DRYING CYCLE
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.
Avoid using ‘Delay Start’ for damp, non-colourfast items as this may cause dye run to
occur.
Drying cycle options (DE7060M, DE6060M, DE5060M and DE5060MU models only)
All drying cycles default to the recommended options based on the average expected
load to be dried. You can vary the options (‘Dryness Level’, ‘Dry Temp’) to create your
desired cycle.
To change the cycle or options you have selected after a cycle has started:
zz Press and select your new cycle or options, then press again to resume drying.
Note: Some options may not be available for selection under certain conditions and
after particular stages of the drying cycle have passed.
