Using this Fisher & Paykel dryer timer is easy. First, if you have an AD39 model, follow the included fitting instructions and remember to make an extra link wire as it's not provided. For AD55 models, it's a direct replacement. When using the dryer, just set the timer as you normally would. As for maintenance, keep the timer clean and free from dust. Check the connections regularly to make sure they're secure. If you notice any issues like inaccurate timing, don't try to fix it yourself. Contact a professional technician to avoid any damage to the timer or the dryer.
