Welcome to AquaSmart™
Thank you for buying a Fisher & Paykel AquaSmart™ 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.
Your AquaSmart™ clothes washer works differently from a conventional washer. It is a “High
Efficiency” machine utilising innovative technology to wash in less water and take great care of
your clothes.
The revolutionary, super water efficient wash action of your AquaSmart™ 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 washer 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 machine. 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.

Installation instructions
Water supply
This clothes washer should be plumbed into both a hot and cold water supply otherwise some
cycles may not function correctly.
For best operating conditions your hot water should be approximately 65˚C. Your hot water
should not exceed 75˚C or your cold water exceed 35˚C. Temperatures above these may cause a
fault or cause damage to the machine.
If you have an uncontrolled water-heating source (eg. a wet back or solar heating) you should
have a tempering device fitted. This will ensure the hot water temperature remains within
safe limits. For the most suitable type of tempering device we recommend you contact a local
plumber or plumbing supply merchant.
Inlet Water Static Pressure of between 3psi (20kPa) and 150psi (1MPa) is recommended.
(If using a header tank then the top of the header tank must be at least 2 metres above the top of
your clothes washer).
Minimum flow rate from the tap supplying the clothes washer should be greater than 6 litres/min
(assumes 12.7mm (1/2 inch) diameter pipes).
Minimum height of taps to clear the top of the machine is 1150 mm.
Inlet hoses
1
Connect the straight ends of the white inlet hoses to the
taps (there are washers fitted in both ends).
2
Connect the elbow ends of the white inlet hoses to the
machine inlet valves. Inlet valves are marked on the back of
the machine.
H=Hot C=Cold
Electrical
This appliance must be supplied with a 230V - 240V, 50Hz, sinusoidal, 450W electrical supply.

6Getting started quickly
It is important to sort your clothes, particularly by colour, as well as separating out sheets and
washing them on the SHEETS cycle. Jeans also need to be washed separately on the JEANS cycle
(refer to page 10 for more details on sorting and loading).
Close bra clasps, do up zippers and check pockets.
Place your clothes evenly around the wash bowl.
Detergent
Although your AquaSmart™ is a Top Loader, this High Efficiency washer has been designed for
use with liquid Low Sudsing, ‘HE’ or ‘Front Loader’ type detergent. For example Fab® Front
Loader concentrate, or Persil®/Omo® low suds concentrate.
AquaSmart™ offers a detergent dispenser for your convenience, located on the front, left hand
side of the top deck.
For detergent dose, please follow the manufacturer’s directions, outlined on the detergent
package.
Pour the detergent down the detergent dispenser.
For more information on detergent and fabric softener please refer to pages 11 – 12.

The unique AquaSmart™ wash
The AquaSmart™ washer has two modes of washing, High Efficiency and Conventional. Both
modes start the same way, with a Detergent Activating wash.
Detergent Activating wash
AquaSmart™ fills the bowl 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 AquaSmart™ then fills with just
enough cool 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. Not only
do you get the benefits of water savings but the higher detergent
concentrations give you optimum soil removal.
Conventional mode
The Conventional mode is the immersion wash all Top Loader users
are familiar with. After the Detergent Activating wash the AquaSmart™
fills with cold 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 colour run can be a problem, or when washing sandy towels. The
SHEETS cycle uses the Conventional mode.
Some cycles can be used in both modes, whilst others work in only one.

These two wash modes mean that your AquaSmart™ washer gives you the best of both worlds,
to suit any laundry situation.

10 Fully automatic water level
You may notice that your AquaSmart™ clothes washer behaves differently from your previous washer.
Your AquaSmart™, like all High Efficiency washers, has a fully automatic water level. This means
that, like Front Loaders, the selection of the water level is left entirely up to the washer. This
ensures optimum wash performance and water savings.
Should you wish to use more water, simply select a Conventional cycle (refer to Conventional
mode page 9).
Sorting and loading
You have bought a High Efficiency washer, like Front Loaders your AquaSmart™ uses much less
water and energy than traditional Top Loading clothes washers. It is important to sort your wash
load to ensure optimum wash performance.
For more information on washing tricky items washing please refer to page 32.
SHEETS – Separate out sheets and duvet covers and use the SHEETS cycle which has
been especially designed for these items. Ensure that duvet/doona covers are buttoned
or zipped up. To get the best possible wash for sheets, load these items around the edge
of the bowl rather than directly across the low profile agitator.
COLOURED ITEMS – Dye or colour run can be a problem with High Efficiency washers, so
separate highly coloured garments especially when they are new and choose the COLOURS
cycle. Most dye transfer occurs when clothes are left too long in the machine at the
completion of the cycle so try not to leave your coloured clothes lingering in the machine.
BULKY ITEMS – Duvet/doona, sleeping bags, ski jackets , blankets and throws are all
items which tend to behave unusually in a clothes washer. The lighter ones tend to float,
while a large blanket can get very heavy and make spinning difficult. Your AquaSmart™
has specific BULKY cycles designed to take care of these washing challenges.
CREASABLES – When you are concerned about creasing or wrinkling we recommend you
use the EASY IRON cycle. Alternatively, select one of the Conventional cycles. The extra
water used by these cycles will help to reduce creasing. Reducing the spin speed of the
wash may also help (refer to page 15).
JEANS – These heavy items are responsible for damaging other items in the wash and
require their own specific wash action to get clean. We feel so strongly that they should
be washed separately we created a special JEANS cycle in the Lifestyle menu. Select
LIFESTYLE, SPECIAL CARE, JEANS.
SOIL – Very dirty, sandy, or linty loads are best washed separately to prevent transfer
onto other garments. It may be that you have new towels that create lots of lint or very
sandy beach gear. We suggest using a Conventional cycle in this circumstance.
DELICATES – To take extra care of delicate items, we suggest using the DELICATE , or
HANDWASH cycles. For HANDWASH select LIFESTYLE, SPECIAL CARE, HANDWASH.

Detergent
Choosing the right detergent
Your AquaSmart™ is a High Efficiency clothes washer and needs Low Sudsing Detergent to
prevent oversudsing problems. This is the same type of detergent Front Loaders use and are
labelled, “Lows Suds”, “Matic” or “High Efficiency”.
We recommend the use of liquid detergents for best results. If you wish to use powdered
detergent, dissolve in water first before adding to the dispenser.
There are both liquid and powdered Low Sudsing detergents. Some examples are:
FAB® Front Loader concentrate PERSIL® Low Suds
OMO® Matic COLD POWER® ADVANCED Matic
When washing woollens use a wool detergent but use it sparingly as these are usually very high
foaming. Do not use soap flakes or soap powders.
How much detergent?
Use the instructions on the back of the detergent packet as a guide to the correct amount to
use. 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 less.
As a starting point:
Use one cap full for a large load and reduce or increase
the dosage as required.
For a small load (eg. 4 – 5 t-shirts) use ¼ cap.
If you have over-foaming problems reduce your dosage.
If your clothes are not clean enough, try using a bit more.
Where do I put my detergent?
Pour your detergent into the detergent dispenser, located
on the left side of the washer.
We recommend that you measure your detergent first.
If you use powdered detergent, we recommend that you
dissolve it in water before adding it to the dispenser.
You will notice that most of the detergent placed in the dispenser will fall into the machine. It
will remain in an area separated from your clothes until the machine begins to fill. As the washer
fills, the dispenser will be flushed of any residue. The detergent is then mixed with water, and
specially designed ribs at the bottom of the bowl help to rapidly dissolve the detergent to
ensure optimum wash performance.
When washing in very cold water or on the quicker cycles (eg. DELICATE) dissolving the
detergent in warm water before pouring it down the dispenser will improve wash performance.

the detergent dispenser

12 Fabric softener
Choosing the right cycle
If you wish to use fabric softener you will need to select the FABRIC SOFTENER option which will
give you a deep rinse. If fabric softener is not selected, the softener will not be dispensed.
1
Select your wash cycle. Using the SCROLL buttons, scroll through the cycle choices until the
desired cycle is highlighted, then press SELECT (refer to page 13 for more information).
2
Scroll through the Wash Options until SOFTENER is highlighted, then touch SELECT.
3
Scroll until Fabric Softener ON is highlighted, touch SELECT to confirm your choice. You will then
have the option to save this choice for future washes when using this wash cycle (refer to page
14 for more information).
Adding the fabric softener
Measure the softener out into the cap and pour into the fabric
softener dispenser. The softener will remain in the top of the
dispenser until the deep rinse where water flushes it into the bowl.
Note: If you fill beyond the MAX mark, the overflow will pour fabric
softener into the bowl prematurely and contribute to scrud.
Cleaning the dispenser
The funnel of the fabric softener (the top) clicks off easily. Simply place a finger down the centre
and lift. The remaining siphon tube and fabric softener well is not removable and needs to be
wiped clean with hot water and an old toothbrush periodically. If the siphon tube looks partially
blocked use a cotton bud to clean.
Scrud
Scrud is the name of the waxy build-up that can occur within any washer when fabric softener
comes into contact with detergent. This build-up is not brought about by a fault in the machine.
If scrud is allowed to build-up in the machine it can result in stains on the clothes or an
unpleasant smell in your washer.
If you wish to use fabric softener we recommend:
Use it sparingly.
Measure it carefully to ensure you do not fill above the MAX level.
Clean the dispenser as soon as the cycle has finished.
Clean your machine regularly using the CLEAN ME cycle (see page 25).
Cold water washing increases the chance of this build-up occurring. We recommend a warm or
hot wash at regular intervals, eg. every 5
th
wash.

Auto Drain
Unsupervised clothes washers filled with water can present a drowning hazard to small children.
In order to minimise any risk of this type of accident, your AquaSmart™ has been
pre-programmed to know when this hazard is created, and drain the wash water to a safe level.
If you pause your AquaSmart™ at any time during the wash cycle when there is water in the bowl,
the machine will activate the AUTO DRAIN function after 3 minutes. This will drain the water in
the wash bowl to an acceptable level, removing any potential hazard.
A warning message will be displayed to warn you prior to AUTO DRAIN being activated.
Note: If you wish to change any of the wash options while your AquaSmart™ is running please
press START/PAUSE then change the required option.

The Temperature option selects the temperature of the first phase of the two-part wash
system, the Detergent Activating Wash.
Cold (Controlled Cold)
The temperature of cold water varies widely, depending on your location and the season.
The lower the water temperature, the less effective the wash becomes. To help with
this issue we have developed COLD which adds a small amount of warm water, when
necessary, to raise your cold water wash to 20°C. This will ensure that you receive the most
effective wash in cold water.
Fabric Softener
If you wish to use fabric softener in your AquaSmart™ clothes washer, please select the
Fabric Softener option from the Wash Options. Scroll to select Fabric Softener ON, and
then press SELECT/TICK to confirm your selection. This will adjust the rinse to dispense the
fabric softener correctly.
Spin Speed
Your AquaSmart™ washer offers three spin speeds: Fast (1000 rpm), Medium (700 rpm)
and Slow (300 rpm), plus an additional No Spin option. The DRIP DRY option can also be
selected (refer to page 16). Simply increase or decrease your spin speed by scrolling left or
right. Press the SELECT button to confirm your selection.
Delay Start
The Delay Start option delays the start of the wash cycle between 15 minutes and 18
hours. This can be useful to time your washing to finish when you arrive home from work,
or to start once you have finished in the shower. Simply scroll right to increase the delay
time, and left to decrease the time, or turn Delay Start off. Press the SELECT button to
confirm your selection.
Note: We suggest that you avoid using Delay Start for damp, non-colourfast items as this
may cause dye to run.
Wash cycle options
To alter any of the wash options explained below, please refer to page 14 for instructions on
changing the wash cycle options.

remove drip-dry garments before the washer goes into final spin. Your AquaSmart™
will beep and display a message to remind you to remove items. Once the items have
been removed press START/PAUSE to begin the spin.
Soak
The Soak option provides a 2 hour soak during the middle of the wash phase. It
will then complete the rest of the cycle. During Soak, the washer will agitate for a
few seconds every minute. Once you enter the Soak option screen, use the SCROLL
button to select Soak ON or OFF. Press SELECT to confirm your selection.
Note: Once the Soak is underway, you can exit out at any time by pressing the BACK
