SAFETY AND WARNINGS
MODEL CODE MAX CAPACITY* (KG)
WL1064P1 10
WL1264P1 12
*Capacity refers to the maximum dry weight of items the washer can wash at any one time.
(Note: Cycle dependent)
zDo not overload your washing machine beyond its rated capacity.
zDo not wash an electric blanket in your washer unless the care label specifically states
it is safe to do so.
zDo not wash curtains in this washer, as sunlight makes them brittle and they may
disintegrate during washing.
zThe only user-removable parts of the washer are the inlet hose(s), the drain hose, the
dispenser funnels (tops) and lint filters. No other parts are designed to be removed by
anyone other than a Fisher&Paykel trained and supported service technician.
Installation
zFor guidance on how to install your product, please refer to installation instructions
provided with your product.
Water supply requirements:
zInlet water static pressure: Max. 1MPa (145psi), Min. 50kPa (7.3psi).
zInlet water flow rate at tap: Min. 8 litres /min.
zA pressure-reducing valve must be installed if pressure is higher than 1MPa.
zFor optimum wash performance check the supply pressure is within the
recommendedrange.
zNew hose sets provided with the washer should be used to connect the washer to the
water mains. Old hose sets should not be re-used.
zWe recommend the inlet hose(s) are changed every 5 years. WARNING: Failure to do so
may result in a flood and damage to property.

WASH CYCLES
Wash cycle guide
Your washer has a number of wash cycles to suit your needs. Selecting the most
appropriate cycle for each wash load will help ensure you get the best wash result.

(MED)

11
Washing bulky items
The BULKY cycle takes special care of bulky items. Bulky garments and bedding wash most
effectively when they can move freely. Ensure that there is sufficient room in the bowl for
the load to move during the wash.
When washing a single bulky item add a large beach towel to the wash, to ensure the load
is balanced for an effective spin.
Bulky items may include: duvet inners, blankets, throws, sleeping bags, jackets, bedding
underlays and comforters.
*COTTON cycle with MANUAL, ECO, HIGH, WARM and FAST selected is the recommended water
and energy saving cycle for normally soiled everyday washing.
This cycle has a 2-step water fill to achieve the required water level and temperature for the
best cleaning result.
First Fill - Once cycle and wash modifiers are selected and is pressed, both hot and cold
water will flow into the inner drum. It is recommended when using this cycle to dissolve
the detergent in 1 litre of warm water and add straight onto the clothes immediately when
the machine starts. The warm water temperature helps to dissolve detergent quickly. The
washing operation starts at the end of the hot water fill and is followed by a 5-minute
(approximately) soak-agitation session to help the detergent mix completely with the
laundry.
Second Fill - The second fill is in order to reach the selected water level and make the
clothes completely soaked in water to achieve a better wash result.
** You can select a different sub-cycle from the default within EXTRA CARE by using the app.
The cycle selected will become the default extra care cycle for all future cycles, this can be
changed at anytime by using the app.

WASH PREPARATION
Sorting
Sort items according to colour, fabric type, and soil type. Wash fine, delicate fabrics
separately from thick, heavy fabrics. Always separate coloured items from whites, especially
when they are new. Colour run could be an issue if you wash items at highertemperatures.
Some soils, like mud and blood are best washed in cold water. Oilysoils (eg some foods
and marks on shirt collars) are best washed in warm water. Separate out sheets and towels,
wash these separately on the SHEETS and EXTRA CARE (TOWELS) cycles.
The care label will tell you about the fabric of the garment and how it should be washed.
Before you load
zCheck pockets for items that could damage your clothes or get caught in the washer.
zClose zippers, hooks and eyes, and other fastenings (ie fasten the opening of duvet/
doona covers) and remove loose bra wires. All these can damage both your washer
andyour clothes.
zPlace delicate items, such as lingerie, in a mesh laundry bag before placing in the
washer.
zPre-treat any stains, taking care not to spray pre-treaters on your washer as they can
cause damage to the plastic surfaces.
Selecting the right detergent
zYour washer is a High Efficiency clothes washer and needs a low sudsing detergent to
prevent over-sudsing problems. This is the same type of detergent Front Loaders use.
zWe recommend the use of liquid detergents in most washing situations to achieve the
best results. This is particularly important when washing dark garments.
zWhen washing woollens, use a wool detergent but use it sparingly as these are usually
very high foaming.
zDo not use soap flakes or granulated soap powders.

13
WASH PREPARATION
Auto Dose
Where do I put my detergent?
Open the cover of the Auto Dose dispenser and fill to
‘Max’ with liquid detergent. Close the cover.
zOnly liquid detergent must be used
in the dispenser.
zDo not fill past ‘Max’.
zThe amount of detergent dispensed per wash can
be adjusted. Refer to ‘Detergent adjustment’ below.
zWhen the detergent level gets low, Lo will flash on
the display to prompt you to fill up the Autodose
detergent compartment.
Detergent adjustment
When using AUTO you can increase or decrease the dosage for each cycle.

Press and hold AUTO DOSE for 3
seconds.
Turn the dial to increase or decrease
level. The default level is 3.
Press and hold KEYLOCK for 3 seconds
to save adjustment.

14
Fabric Softener
If you wish to use fabric softener we recommend:
zUsing it sparingly. Measure it carefully to ensure you do not fill above the ‘Max’ level
of the dispenser.
zUsing a fabric softener that is of a thinner consistency.
zClean the dispenser as soon as the cycle has finished.
zClean your washer regularly using the DRUM CLEAN cycle, refer to ‘Caring for your washer’.
zCold water washing increases the chance of scrud build-up occurring. We recommend a
warm or hot wash at regular intervals, eg every 5th wash.
Adding the fabric softener
Always follow the manufacturer’s guidance for the
correct dosage. Measure the softener out into the
cap and pour into the fabric softener dispenser. The
softener will remain in the dispenser until the deep
rinse where water flushes it into the drum.
If you fill beyond the ‘Max’ mark, the fabric softener
will dispense into the drum prematurely and may stain
clothes, and also contribute to scrud.
A small volume of water remaining in the dispenser at
the end of the cycle is normal.
Fabric softener should not be added when ECO option is selected or for a RINSE cycle. The
softener will not be dispensed.
Manual Dose
Where do I put my detergent?
Place your detergent into the detergent dispenser,
located on the left side of the washer. We recommend
that you measure your detergent first.
You will notice that most of the detergent placed in
the dispenser will fall into the washer. As the washer
fills, the dispenser will be flushed of any residue. The
detergent is then mixed with water at the bottom
of the washer, dissolving and activating it to ensure
optimum wash performance.
DO NOT use your washer to soak items in bleach or sanitiser. If you have soaked items in
a bucket, do not tip the contents of the bucket into your washer. The chemicals in these
products are very corrosive to metal surfaces and can damage your washer. Rinse and
wring items out thoroughly before placing them in your washer.
WASH PREPARATION
How much detergent?
Follow the instructions on the back of the detergent packet as a guide. The correct amount
of detergent will vary depending on the amount of soil in your clothes and the size of your
load. Jeans and work clothes may need more and towels usually less.
zIf you have over-foaming problems, reduce your dosage.
zIf your clothes are not clean enough, try using a bit more.
