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. Thousands of tonnes of washing and 75 years of laundry experience have been
programmed into your dryer to help give you the best possible performance.
We hope you enjoy your new dryer. We have certainly enjoyed designing it.
Cost to dry
Many people are reluctant to use a dryer because
they believe they are expensive to run. True enough,
sunshine is free, but we don’t always have sunshine
and the benefits to you and your clothes can make
machine drying worthwhile.
The following example of a 2.5 kg load is used to
demonstrate the cost of drying.
4 T-shirts
1 Sweat Shirt
5 Pair Underpants
5 Pairs Socks
1 Pair Trousers
2 Pair Shorts
3 Handkerchiefs
This load was spun at a high spin speed (1000 rpm) and dried in an
AeroSense™
dryer on dryness
level 4 (Medium dry and Extra dry lights on). The load took 60 minutes to dry.
For example if power costs 20 cents/unit, the load will cost approximately 30 cents to dry
(1.48 units x 20c). Check with your local Electricity Supply Authority for your domestic tariff.
