We do not recommend the use of extension cords or portable electrical outlet devices
for safety reasons.

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.
z
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.
z
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.
z
The tumble dryer is intended only for drying textile material washed in water.
z
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.
z
Check and remove all objects from pockets, eg lighters and matches.
z
Never dry rubber articles, or any plastic items or film, eg plastic lined
tablecloths and baby bibs.

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.

or around the dryer.
