This document provides installation instructions and specifications for Fisher & Paykel vented dryers, including models DE7060M, DE5060M, and DE4060M.

Function Description

The Fisher & Paykel vented dryer is designed to dry laundry by circulating heated air through a rotating drum. It offers various installation options, including freestanding, inverted wall-mounted, and different external and internal venting configurations. The dryer is equipped with a control panel for selecting drying cycles and settings.

Important Technical Specifications

Capacity:

DE7060M: 7 kg
DE5060M: 5 kg
DE4060M: 4 kg
Capacity refers to the maximum dry weight of items the dryer can dry at any one time. Rated capacity is determined by a country's performance standards, so similar dryers may have different capacities for different markets.

Dimensions:

Width: 600 mm (for all models)
Depth:
- DE7060M: 585 mm
- DE5060M: 585 mm
- DE4060M: 495 mm
Height: 830 mm (for all models)

Electrical:

Volts: 220 – 240 V (for all models)
Hz: 50 Hz (for all models)
Amps (maximum): 10 A (for all models)
Rated Power (W): 1750 W (for all models)

Venting System Requirements:

All external venting systems must be made from 100mm diameter flexible foil sleeved with a galvanised metal pipe where the vent system goes through the wall, or 100mm diameter galvanised metal piping.
Exhausted outside and not into another confined space, e.g., the roof cavity of a house.
Fitted with a vent cap outside to stop rainwater entering the dryer exhaust system.
Angled to avoid condensation running back into the dryer.
The vent system should be a maximum of two metres with no more than three 90° bends.
Vent systems over two metres long require special installation by a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician.
The vent system should be less than two metres long with no more than three 900 bends.

Usage Features

Installation Options: The dryer can be positioned in two main ways:

Freestanding: The dryer stands on the floor and can be easily moved into position.
- Requires a minimum clearance of 20mm on all sides and 75mm at the rear.
- Must be installed on a stable and level floor.
Inverted Wall Mounting: The dryer can be mounted on a wall above a washer or tub using a wall mounting kit. Inverting the dryer allows easier access to the control panel.
- Requires a minimum of 50mm clearance between the top of the dryer and the ceiling.
- If mounting above a washing machine, sufficient room must be allowed to open the lid of the washer (refer to page 11 for lid clearances).
- The distance between the centre of each wall hanging bracket is 555mm.
- The control panel can be inverted digitally to read correctly when the dryer is mounted upside down. For DE7060M and DE5060M, press and hold 'Keylock' and 'Heavy' buttons for three seconds. For DE4060M, press and hold 'Keylock' and 'Air Dry' buttons for three seconds.

Venting Options:

External Venting: Recommended for optimum efficiency, eliminating condensation, reducing lint recirculation, and preventing lint and fine particles from blowing into the room.
- Can be vented upwards or to the side using kits.
- Can be vented directly through the wall using a ducting kit (PD-SVHCW4) in combination with the supplied duct adapter.
- Can be vented through a window using a ducting kit (PD-F0408) in combination with the supplied duct adapter. This requires a minimum distance of 140mm from the wall to prevent ducting restriction.
- A rear venting option is available, requiring the outlet grille to be moved from the front left-hand side to the rear left-hand side.
Internal Venting (Front Venting): The dryer is factory-set for front venting. If internal venting is used, adequate ventilation is crucial to avoid moisture build-up in the room, which can affect dryer performance. Venting must comply with local by-laws and regulations. Efforts should be made to vent externally where possible.

Installation Test Cycle: A test cycle must be completed before normal use to ensure correct installation and proper functioning.

Turn on the dryer by pressing the 'POWER' button.
Select the 'Time Dry' cycle for 30 minutes. Ensure the drum is empty and the door is closed.
Press the 'Play/Pause' button to start the cycle.
Observe for any problems; faults will be displayed on the screen.
After the cycle, open the door and check for warmth inside the dryer, indicating normal operation.

Maintenance Features

Packaging Removal:

All outer packaging, including polystyrene packers and plastic wrapping, must be removed prior to use.
Packaging materials should be kept out of reach of children.
Users are encouraged to dispose of packaging in an environmentally friendly manner.
Protective covers from the door and console must be removed.

Electrical Connection Safety:

The appliance requires a 220V – 240V, 50Hz, sinusoidal, 10A electrical supply.
Must be connected to an earthed outlet protected by a fuse of suitable capacity.
The power cord should be uncoiled, and the plastic pin cover removed before plugging into a power socket.
The power cord must not be squashed or twisted during installation.
Always remove the power cord by the plug, not the cord itself.
Do not touch or operate the dryer with wet hands or bare feet.
A damaged power cord must be replaced by a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician. The appliance must not be operated until repaired due to electric shock risk.
Do not operate the dryer if it has been damaged during transport; contact the dealer or service technician.

Lint Filter:

The installation checklist includes verifying that the lint filter is correctly in place. Regular cleaning of the lint filter is implied for proper operation, though specific cleaning instructions are not detailed in this excerpt.

General Maintenance Note:

Never run the dryer unless the airflow system is free from obstruction. This is crucial for maximum efficiency and safety.
Adequate ventilation is required to prevent the backflow of gases from other fuel-burning appliances into the room when the dryer is operating.
Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue used for exhausting fumes from gas or other fuel-burning appliances.
