I do not know if the earlier models of the 7K work on 60 meters, but the manual with mine gives a rather complicated way of getting there, and the radio will only tune to those channels, so there is inherent safety. I haven't taken the time to do it, since I have another radio that goes there.
So, the recent crop of 7K's will indeed tune to 60, but I do not know if the earlier models will allow a firmware upgrade as do some other radios.

Hi John,
The ICOM IC-7000 download page is:
This is the latest IC-7000 operating manual. Text searching this pdf file works! Unfortunately, the maintenance manual is NOT listed for download!
The date on the last page of the downloaded manual is 2010.
Enjoy
