FISHER & PAYKEL REVOLUTIONIZES CLOTHES DRYERS – AGAIN!

Introducing AeroSmartT, the Top Loading Dryer with Reverse Tumbling Action

January 2007

HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA – The latest addition to Fisher & Paykel's world's first large capacity top loading dryer is AeroSmart™. Matched perfectly to the new AquaSmart® clothes washer, AeroSmart™ boasts incredibly fast dry times, huge capacity and superior clothing care.

AeroSmart’s top-loading format has obvious ergonomic advantages, but also touts unique features and functionality. AeroSmart™ offers reverse-tumble drying. The dryer’s drum tumbles both forward and reverse – unlike traditional dryers that only tumble in one direction. This feature significantly reduces creasing and tangling, as clothes are not constantly being rolled into a ‘ball’. This makes ironing of clothing much easier and is an especially useful feature when drying large items like sheets and towels. Reverse tumbling also significantly improves the evenness of drying.

AeroSmart™ has many additional convenience features, such as a self-cleaning lint screen and lint reservoir that does not have to be emptied for up to 15 cycles (unlike traditional clothes dryers whose filters need to be cleaned after every cycle). AeroSmart™ has five drying cycles including a wrinkle guard, timed drying for greater control and automatic cool down on all cycles. Automatic dryness sensing constantly checks the dampness of clothing in the drum, and begins the cool-down cycle when the desired level of dryness has been achieved. The dryer has a large capacity stainless steel drum and self-leveling feet. A lid lock provides added safety by preventing the lid from opening when the drum is in motion.

Placed next to one of Fisher & Paykel’s top-loading washing machines, your clothes will not only come out fluffier, but they will also spend less time drying. That’s because Fisher & Paykel’s top-loading clothes washers spin at 1000-rpm, which removes more of

the water from the clothing. AeroSmart™ is a convenient and smart choice for your drying needs.
AeroSmart™ is assembled in the USA at Fisher & Paykel's Clyde Ohio factory. The new control panel includes and LCD interface with capacitive touch buttons, 18 Lifecycles, and is programmable in three languages: English, French and Spanish. AeroSmart™ will be available in early 2007.

The AeroSmart™ Dryer is available in either gas or electric platforms. The DG27CW1 (gas model) retails for $899 and the DE27CW1 (electric model) retails for $879.
