Features

Smart Loading

The new ergonomic design of this dryer means less bending. Simply
move clothes from the washer to the dryer with minimal effort.

Superior Clothes Care

Superior clothes care is accomplished by an efficient high airflow fan
and careful heat control. The

SmartLoad

™ dryer provides the right

heat for temperature sensitive delicate articles while still efficiently
drying more robust regular and denim loads.

Reverse Action Tumbling

The drum reverses regularly, so your clothes dry more evenly without
roping or tangling.

Lint Bucket

The lint filter is automatically scraped clean during the drying cycle
and the lint is deposited into the lint bucket. No touching or scraping
lint any more. Airflow is more efficient as it is never restricted by a
blocked filter.

Perfect with the Fisher & Paykel Smart Drive® Washer

The dryer combined with the

Smart Drive

® washer’s superior spin

performance and quick cycle times will cut laundry turn around time
by up to one third, reducing the time you spend doing laundry.

Stainless Steel Drum

Being stainless steel, this drum is not only more hygienic, it’s also
more resilient and easier to keep looking good.
