Drain Hose
1.Carefully pull the drain hose
out from the back of the washer by
pulling the exposed part of the
hose downwards and then out.
2.The hose guide is used to guide
the drain hose over the tub or
standpipe. It MUST be fitted to the
drain hose. To prevent siphoning
the drain hose should not extend
more than 3/4” (20mm) from the
end of the guide. If necessary, the
drain hose can be trimmed to length
3.Place the drain hose in laundry
tub or standpipe.
Note:
• In multi-storey apartments or any
upper floor, the machine should be
installed on a drained floor
• Check that the tub or standpipe is
free from lint or other obstructions.
• In basement installation do not
exceed standpipe height. (78”)

STEP 5
LEVELING THE WASHER
Leveling Feet
1.Insert the four rubber leveling feet
inserts into the feet on the base of
the washer.
2.Move the washer into its final
position. We suggest a minimum
clearance of 1” (25mm) on
each side for ease of installation.
3.Turn on water and check hose
connections for leaks. Make sure
there are no kinks in the hoses.
4. It is IMPORTANT to level the washer
to give proper performance in spin.
Make sure the rubber inserts are in
the adjustable feet on the base of
the washer. Adjust the feet by
unscrewing/screwing to make sure
the washer is level and cannot rock.

Note: If there is a cold water supply
only, an inlet valve cap (available from
Fisher & Paykel) MUST be connected to
the hot valve. The cap prevents water
leaking out the hot valve. Cold water
connection is required.

Readjust the feet if necessary.
6.Please test machine in permanent
press cycle.
7. Open lid and check the washer
basket to see that it sits slightly
forward of centre (see illustration).
