Location
Install the washer on a solid and level floor surface ensuring it has at least 20 mm
clearance on each side. The washer must not be installed on any textured floor coverings
(eg carpets, rugs).
In your clothes washer you will find:
• 1 hose guide.
• 2 inlet hoses.
Drain hose
1. Carefully pull the drain hose out from the back of
the washer by pulling the exposed part of the hose
downward and outward.
2. To guide the drain hose over the tub or standpipe
the hose guide MUST be fitted to the drain hose.
To prevent siphoning the
drain hose should not
extend more than 20 mm
from the end of the guide.
The height of the standpipe
or tub should be between
850 – 1200 mm. The
drainhose can be trimmed

3. Place the drain hose in the tub or standpipe. Do
not fit the hose to a drain spigot. Drainage must not
be airtight in order to prevent siphoning.
Electrical connection
• This appliance must be supplied with a 220 – 240 V, 50 Hz, sinusoidal, 10 A electrical supply.
• Check the power cord for damage, making sure it is not squashed or twisted.
• A damaged power cord must be replaced by a Fisher & Paykel Authorised Repairer, in order to avoid a hazard.
The appliance must not be operated until it is repaired, as there is a risk of electric shock.
Draining
• Regularly check that your standpipe or tub is free from lint or other obstructions, which may affect how your
washer works or may cause flooding.
• In multi-storey apartments or any upper floor, the washer should be installed on a floor equipped with a drain.
• Draining must comply with local by-laws.
Water supply
Your cold water should not exceed 35°C and your hot water should not exceed 65°C.
Temperatures above these may cause the washer to fault or cause damage to the washer.
• If you have an uncontrolled water heating source (eg a wet back or solar heating system) you should fit a
tempering valve. This will ensure the hot water temperature remains within safe limits. Contact your registered
plumber to select and install the tempering valve.
• Inlet water static pressure: Max. 1 MPa (150 psi) Min. 34 KPa (5 psi)

Inlet hoses
Failure to adhere to the
following instructions may
result in a flood and
damage to property:
• New hose sets provided
with the washer shall be
used to connect the
washer to the water
supply.
• Old hose sets should not
be used.
• We recommend replacing
the inlet hoses every 5
years.
• Hoses should be checked
from time to time and
replaced if any wear, cuts,
bulges, kinks or leaks are
found.
1. Connect the straight ends of the inlet hoses to the
taps (there are washers fitted in both ends).
Connect the red connector hose to Hot, and the
white connector hose to Cold.
2. Connect the elbow ends of the inlet hoses to the
corresponding washer inlet valves. Inlet valves are
marked on the back of the washer. Ensure the Hot
valve is connected to the hot tap and the Cold
valve is connected to the cold tap.
H = Hot C = Cold
This clothes washer should be plumbed into both a hot
and cold water supply otherwise some cycles may not
function correctly.

Your washer does not have
an internal heater to heat
water.
Levelling instructions
It is IMPORTANT to level the washer to ensure good spin performance.
A spirit level is provided with your washer. Use this to level your washer, always placing it on a clean, flat surface.
The washer is level when the bubble sits in the centre, within the two lines.
Your washer is equipped with self-locking feet at the front to ensure they do not move once you have levelled
your washer. To adjust the feet, tilt the washer back and twist to move them up or down.
After levelling, the corners of the washer should be clear of the floor and the washer must
not rock in any direction.
1. Move the washer to its final position using the top
corners to manoeuvre the product into place (do
not push on the centre front of the washer). We
recommend a minimum clearance of 20 mm each
side and 40 mm at the rear of the washer.
2. Open the lid, place the spirit level at the
centre front of the top deck forward of the lid lock
slot. Level the washer from side to side by winding
up or down the front feet (Fig.1).
3. With the lid closed, tilt the washer forward away
from the wall approximately 100 mm (Fig.2), the
self-adjusting feet will release. Gently lower the
washer back down.
4. Open the lid, place the spirit level at either the right
hand or left hand side of the top deck. Level the
washer from front to back using the front feet only
(Fig.3), winding both feet in or out equally. Tilt the
washer forward again and lower back down (Fig.2).
5. Re-check the washer is level. Move the spirit level
around to all positions once more, checking the

washer is level in all areas. Repeat step 4 if
necessary. Check the washer does not rock from
side to side, front to back, or corner to corner.
• Keep your spirit level for
the next time you move or
reposition your washer.
• If moving or transporting
your washer in the future,
ensure you tape the lid
down beforehand.

• Connect the appliance to an earthed outlet protected by a fuse of suitable capacity.
Do not touch or operate the washer with wet hands or with bare feet.
