Welcome to CleanSmart™
Thank you for buying a Fisher & Paykel CleanSmart™ clothes washer. We are 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 over 75 years of laundry experience
have been programmed into your clothes washer to help give you the best possible performance.
Your CleanSmart™ washer has an extra large capacity, numerous wash cycles and options, and
an ergonomic design so you can efficiently perform every wash task with ease. Your washer is
a ‘HighEfficiency’ machine utilising innovative technology to wash in less water while taking
great care of your clothes. Similarly, taking extra care in the way you use your high efficiency
washer will help ensure you make the most of its capabilities.
The revolutionary water and energy efficient wash action of your CleanSmart™ washer means
that it is no longer necessary to wash using a full bowl of water. This innovative wash action relies
on rolling the clothes through a small volume of water to ensure optimal wash results. Please be
aware that the water level for this washer is fully automatic, meaning that there is no option to
manually select your water level.
Please take the time to read these instructions carefully before you begin using your washer.
Like with all High Efficiency washers, a little extra care in how you sort your clothes and in
choosing your wash cycle and detergent, will ensure that you get the best possible performance
from your washer.
We hope you enjoy your new washer. We have certainly enjoyed designing it for you.

Installation instructions
Unpacking
To ensure the best performance from your new CleanSmart™ clothes washer please follow the
instructions below.
Removing the packaging
1
Remove the outer packaging.
2
Tilt the machine backwards and walk it off the base packer
one foot at a time (ensure the lid is still taped down).
3
Remove the base packer from under the machine
bypulling it out the front.
4
Remove the tape, lift the lid and remove the bowl packer
from the bowl.
5
Remove the hoses and accessories.
6
Keep the base packer and bowl packer in case they are
required for future transit.
Important!
Ensure that the bottom packer has been removed BEFORE OPERATING your machine.
Location
Your washer must be installed on a level surface, not on any textured floor coverings (egcarpet,
rugs) to ensure the opening at the bottom of the machine is not obstructed.
In your clothes washer you will find:
1 hose guide.
2 inlet hoses.
4 rubber foot inserts (if not already inserted into the feet).
Drain hose
1
Carefully pull the drain hose out from the back of
the machine by pulling the exposed part of the
hose downwards and outwards.
2
To guide the drain hose over the tub or standpipe
the hose guide MUST be fitted to the drain hose.
Important!
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 – 2400 mm. The drain hose can be
trimmed to length.
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.

4Installation instructions
Draining
Regularly check that your standpipe or tub is free from lint or other obstructions which may
affect how your machine works or may cause flooding.
In multi-storey apartments or any upper floor the machine should be installed on a floor that is
equipped with a drain.
Draining must comply with local by-laws.
Water supply
This clothes washer should be plumbed into both
a hot and cold water supply otherwise some cycles
may not function correctly.
Note: your washer does not have an internal heater
to heat water.
Your hot water should not exceed 65˚C and your
cold water should not 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 (eg a safe valve). 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 34 kPa (5 psi) and 1 MPa (150 psi) is required.
Minimum flow rate from the tap supplying the clothes washer should be greater than
6 litres / min (assumes 12.7 mm (½ inch) diameter pipes).
Inlet hoses
Important!
New hose sets provided with the washer shall be used to connect the washer to the water mains.
Old hose sets should not be re-used.
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 white connector hose to cold (if your hoses
are colour-coded).
2
Connect the elbow ends of the inlet hoses to the machine inlet
valves. Inlet valves are marked on the back of the machine.
Ensure the hot valve is connected to the hot tap and the cold
valve is connected to the cold tap.
H = Hot C = Cold
Inlet hose replacement
The inlet hoses should be replaced every 5 years. Hoses should be checked from time to time
and replaced if any wear, cuts, bulges, kinks or leaks are found.
Electrical
This appliance must be supplied with a 220 V – 240 V, 50 Hz, sinusoidal, 10 A electrical supply.

Levelling instructions
It is IMPORTANT to level the machine to ensure good
spin performance and effective detergent and fabric
softener dispensing.
A spirit level is provided with your machine. Use this
to level your machine, always placing it on a clean,
flat surface. The machine is level when the bubble
sits in the centre, within the two lines.
Your washer is equipped with self-locking feet to
ensure they do not move once you have levelled
your machine. To adjust the feet, pull down then
twist to move them up or down.
Note: after levelling, the corners of the washer should
be clear of the floor and the machine must not rock
in any direction.
1
If not already installed, fit the rubber inserts into
all 4 feet on the base of the machine.
2
Move the machine to its final position using the top
corners to manoeuvre the product into place (do
not push on the centre front of the machine). We
recommend a minimum clearance of 20 mm each
side and 50 mm at the rear of the machine.
3
With the lid closed, place the spirit level at the centre
back of the lid (near the control panel). Pull the
machine out and adjust the rear feet (wind down) until
the machine is level side to side when in position.
4
Open the lid. Place spirit level on the flat surface on the
left side, inline with the centre of the bowl. Adjust the
front left foot (wind down) until the machine is level.
5
Move the spirit level to the right side, in line with
the centre of the bowl. Adjust the front right foot
(wind down) until the machine is level, and does not
rock. There should be equal weight on both front
feet so that neither can be turned by hand when the
machine is in position.
6
Place the spirit level at the centre front of the topdeck,
forward of the lid lock slot. Check the machine is level.
Move the spirit level around to all positions once
more, checking the machine is level in all areas.
Check the machine does not rock side to side, front
to back, or corner to corner.
Important!
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.

6Installation instructions
Completing your installation
Turn on the water and check all hose connections for leaks. Make sure there are no kinks in
the hoses. Check the hose connections for leaks again after 24 hours.
Uncoil the power cord, remove and discard the plastic pin cover, and plug into wall socket and
turn the power on.
Installation test cycle
Your washer must be correctly installed before use. Check the machine’s installation and
operation using the following procedure:
1
Touch POWER to activate your washer.
2
Touch both the KEYLOCK and OPTIONS buttons at the same time, and hold for three seconds.
3
Touch START /PAUSE to start the installation test cycle.
4
The machine will beep to signal the end of the installation test cycle. Any faults will be displayed
on the screen (refer to the back of this user guide to help identify faults). If you need further
assistance, please contact a Fisher & Paykel Customer Care Representative. Refer to page 41 for
contact details.
Note: if there are no faults found, the washer will automatically turn off at the end of the
installation test cycle.

Before you do your rst wash

8Getting started quickly
Before you start
It is important to sort your clothes, particularly separating white/light colours from dark
colours, as well as separating out sheets and towels. Refer to page 13 for more details on
sorting and loading.
Wash new, highly coloured and dark coloured items separately to prevent dye transfer onto
other items.
Sort lint givers and lint collectors (refer to page 13).
Close bra clasps, do up zippers and check pockets.
Place your clothes directly into the wash bowl.
Don’t wrap sheets around the bowl like a snake, drop them in as loose parcels to the side of the
low profile agitator, and in layers (refer to page 13).
Detergent
Although your CleanSmart™ is a top-loading machine, this High Efficiency washer has been
designed for use with liquid Low Sudsing, ‘HE’ or ‘Front Loader’ type detergent.
CleanSmart™ offers a detergent dispenser for your convenience, located on the front, left hand
side of the top deck.
For the correct 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, fabric softener and the WASH BOOST options please refer
to pages 15 – 17.
