Welcome to AquaSmart T'v'
Thank you for buying a Fisher & Paykel AquaSm_rt _clothes washer. We are very proud of this
washer and trust it will serve you well for many years,
At Fisher & Paykel we aim to provide innovative products that are simple to use, ergonomic and
kind to the environment. Thousands of tonnes of washing and 70 years of laundry experience
have been programmed into your clothes washer to help give you the best possible performance.
"..!ourAqu_Sm_rt _ clothes washer works differently from a conventional washer. It is a"High
Efficiency" washer utilizing innovative technology to wash in less water and take great care of
your clothes.
The revolutionary, super water efficient wash action of your AquaSm_rt _ washer means that it
is no longer necessary to wash using a full bowl of water, This innovative wash action relies on
maintaining a small volume of water for the wash load to ensure the best wash results, Please be
aware that the water level for this model is fully automatic, with the machine 'smarts' choosing
the appropriate water volume for you. This means that there is no option to select your
water level,
It is important that you take the time to read these instructions carefully before you begin using
your washer. Like all High Efficiency washers, a little extra care in how you sort your clothes and
choose your cycle and detergent will ensure that you get the best possible wash result.
We hope you enjoy your new washer, we have certainly enjoyed designing it for you.

'[heuniqueAquaSmart wash
The AquaSmart _ washer has two modes of washing, High Efficiency and ConventionaJ. Both
modes start the same way, with a Detergent Activating wash.
Detergent Activating wash
Aqu_Smart _ fills the basket at the selected water temperature,
with just enough water so the clothes are saturated. This small
amount of sudsy water flows through the clothes, up a specially
designed portal and back onto the clothes in a waterfall effect.
This thoroughly dissolves and activates the detergent.
(_) High Efficiency mode
In the High EfFiciency mode the Aqu_Sm_rt_then fills with just
enough water to lift the clothes off the low profile agitator so when
it rotates, the clothes gently roll over each other. This wash uses
similar quantities of water to most Front Loaders and so, not only
do you get the benefits of water savings but the higher detergent
concentrations give you optimum soil removal.
Conventiona_ mode
The Conventional mode is the immersion wash all Tbp Loader users
are familiar with. After the Detergent Activating wash the AquaSmart _
fills with cooler water until the clothes are submerged, and gently
turns the clothes over. We recommend this mode when the dilution
effect of water can solve or prevent common wash problems. For
example, when dye or color run can be a problem, or when washing
sandy towels. The SHEETScycle uses the Conventional mode.
Somecycles can be used in both modes, whilst others work in only one.
