PLEASE NOTE : To obtain maximum efficiency,the ecosmart machine has the ability
to learn and adapt to the local environment. This may take several wash cycles,
therefore maximum energy efficiency may not be achieved until a number of wash
cycles have been completed. This usually takes about 5 cycles.

ABOUTYOUR ECOSMART
Phase 1 – Eco ActiveWash
FRONT LOADERTYPEWASH
The Ecosmart fills the bowl, at the selected
temperature,with just enough water so that the
clothes are 100% saturated.
This small amount of sudsy water is circulated through
the clothes,up the specially designed portal and back
onto the clothes with a waterfall effect.
The chemical action provided by a small amount of
water, combined with detergent, rapidly targets soil
and stains at fiber level, boosting soil removal and
accelerating the wash process.
Phase 2 –TOP LOADERTYPEWASH
After 4 minutes,your Ecosmart will fill with just
enough cooler water to suspend the soil in solution.
Agitation will then begin,moving soil away from the
clothes. Because of its head-start,the wash requires
less agitation than a conventional top loader wash.

HOWTHE ECOSMARTWORKS
The Fisher & Paykel Ecosmart's '2 in 1' wash system gives you the best of
both worlds.Using a combination of front loader and top loader wash
systems,the Ecosmart gives exceptional wash results while using up to
50% less hot water*,and,at the same time,taking better care of your
clothes than a conventional top loading washer.

The wash progress lights show all the tasks your
Ecosmart will complete during the wash cycle.
As each task is completed a light goes out,so you
can tell at a glance how far the cycle has to go.
ADVANCINGTHE WASH CYCLE
To shorten the wash time,to rinse and spin only,
or to spin only:
1. Select the wash cycle.
2. PressADVANCE repeatedly until only the right
number of lights remain on.
3. Press START/PAUSE.
Note:The wash consists of two parts. The
first amber light is essential for all washes
except Permanent Press,therefore,you can only
advance through the green lights,not the amber.
Your Ecosmart has a lid lock.This ensures the lid
cannot be opened during hazardous parts of the
cycle,providing added safety for you and your family.
The lid lock light (above the start/pause button)
comes on when the lid is locked to tell you when
you cannot open the lid.
If the lid lock light is flashing the lid lock is in the
process of locking or unlocking (i.e.while the
machine coasts down or start/pause has been
pressed).During this stage the lid still cannot be
lifted.
Keep children away from the machine during
the fill and agitate stage of the cycle, especially
when using hot water, as the lid can be opened
and the machine will not stop.

We recommend the use of softener dryer sheets
because liquid fabric softener has been known to
cause an unpleasant build-up inside washing
machines.(Refer to Scrud page 13).
Use the SOFTENER RINSE option:
• If you use liquid fabric softener
• If you use bleach
This option changes the rinse to include a spray and
deep rinse,so that the fabric softener will be
dispensed correctly, and the machine sump will be
thoroughly cleaned of bleach.
Some wash loads are better washed using a cycle
with a deep rinse. For instance,garments that have a
lot of sand or sawdust in them, or garments where
the color still runs. For these loads select the
SOFTENER RINSE option,as this will change the
rinse to include a deep rinse.
When you select SOAK your Ecosmart will stop at
the end of wash and soak for 2 hours before
completing the rinse and spin. During soak your
washer will agitate for a few seconds every minute.
TIME SAVER allows you to shorten the wash cycle
for lightly soiled clothes. Selecting this option reduces
the wash and spin times.
Time Saver can be turned on or off at any time during
the cycle.

WASH CYCLES AND OPTIONS
AUTO WATER LEVEL
Your Ecosmart can automatically select the
appropriate water level for the load.
1.
Place your clothes in the machine,and press Power.
2. Select wash cycle (select Auto water level if not
automatically selected)
3. Press START/PAUSE
During fill the machine will pause occasionally to
sense the water level. The machine will check if
the water level is correct by using a series of two
different agitate strokes.(This may take over a minute).
If it detects that the water level is not enough, it
will fill with more water and re-check the level.
•When washing an unusual load eg.large
bulky garments, pillows, we recommend you
manually select the water level and select
the Delicate cycle.
•Manually select the water level if there is already
water in the machine.
•For a large bulky load, or large single item (eg.
comforter) push the load down after the first fill.
MANUALWATER LEVEL SELECTION
The agitator has five levels marked on its stem that
can be used to help you select the correct water
levels. Select the correct water level by using the
mark nearest to the top of the clothes.
•The levels marked on the agitator do not correspond
exactly to the level of water. They indicate the
level of dry clothes suitable for the water level.
•Your Ecosmart may occasionally add water during
agitation.This is to maintain the water level due to
the release of air trapped in the garments.
•Out of balance loads,tangling or splashover can be
caused by selecting a water level that is too high.

9WASH CYCLESAND OPTIONS
Use the SPIN HOLD option to:
•Remove drip dry garments from a mixed load
before the wash goes into spin.
•Minimize creasing that is caused when clothes are
left sitting in the machine at the end of the cycle.
When SPIN HOLD is selected,your Ecosmart will
pause at the end of rinse,beep and the spin light will
flash to tell you that it is waiting for another instruction.
Press START/PAUSE to begin the spin.
Delay Start will delay the start of the wash cycle for
1,3 or 9 hours.
Press DELAY START once for a delay of 1 hour.
Press again for 3 hours,a third time for 9 hours
(and again to return to normal).
•Once you press Delay Start your Ecosmart will
begin the delay period,you do not have to press
Start/Pause.
•Be careful if using Delay Start for non-colorfast
clothes as dyes may run if the clothes are damp.
•Your Ecosmart will not beep at the end of the
cycle if Delay Start is selected.
To avoid accidentally damaging your clothes,there
are a few options that your Ecosmart will not accept.
For example, you cannot select a hot wash on
Delicate, Permanent Press orWool cycles.

Make sure there is enough room in the machine for
items to move when being washed.Forcing large items
into the machine may result in them being damaged
during washing.
Some items float up during the wash (eg comforters
and pillows).If they sit too high they may touch
stationary parts of the machine during agitate or spin.
To minimize the chance of this happening, bulky items
should be pushed down below the water level
after fill and pushed to sit below the medium
high water level mark on the agitator before
spinning.Select the correct water level
manually. Select a slow spin.
To prevent an out of balance load we
recommend washing these items on the
Delicate cycle. If you wish to re-spin the load at a
faster speed make sure the load is sitting below the
medium high mark before spinning.
TheWool cycle has been designed for products
carrying a MACHINEWASHABLE care claim.The
fibers of these woollens have been treated to prevent
felting when they are machine washed. Most
handknitted garments are not made of machine
washable wool and we recommend that you hand
wash them.
•Check the care label.
•Use a wool detergent
•Use theWOOLWASHABLES cycle.
•Hand washed woollens may be spun in your
Ecosmart.
•To dry woollens lay them flat on a towel and pat
into shape. Dry out of direct sunlight.
•Some wool underlays and sheepskin products can
be washed in a washing machine but may produce
excessive amounts of lint that may cause pump
blockages.
If you always use cold water, we recommend that a
warm permanent press wash be used at regular
intervals, eg every 5th wash.

Check clothing care labels for special instructions.
Liquid bleach:
1. Use half the recommended dose of bleach and dilute
with water.
2. Remove the fabric softener dispenser and pour down
the inside edge of the agitator stem,in line with the
fins.Select the SOFTENER RINSE button.This changes
the rinse to thoroughly remove bleach residue.
3. Add detergent and replace the fabric softener
dispenser.
4. For best results,add liquid bleach after the first two
amber wash lights are no longer visible.
Powdered Bleach:
Pour half the recommended dose of powdered bleach
into the agitator with your detergent.
The fabric softener goes into the dispenser on the top
of the agitator. The ring on the dispenser cup is a guide
for the amount of fabric softener to add for a full load.
Smaller loads require less fabric softener.
Softener Rinse
If you wish to use fabric softener when using the
Regular or Heavy Duty cycles you must select the
SOFTENER RINSE option.This changes the rinse
option to include a deep rinse so the fabric softener will
be dispensed correctly.
Scrud is the name given to 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 your
clothes or an unpleasant smell in your washer.
If you wish to use fabric softener we recommend:
- Using fabric softener sparingly.
-When filling the dispenser, do not splash or overfill.
-
Clean the dispenser as soon as the cycle is finished.
- Clean your machine regularly (refer page 18).
- Cold water washing increases the chance of the build-up
occurring.We recommend that a warm permanent
press wash be used at regular intervals,eg every 5th
wash should be warm.
- Fabric softener of a thinner consistency is less likely to
leave residue on the dispenser and contribute to a
build-up.

CHANGING PRE-SET OPTIONS
When your Ecosmart is spinning it can sense if the
wash load is out of balance and will stop and re-try
spinning up to 3 times.If the machine still senses an
unbalanced load there are two options the machine
offers.
•Automatic Recovery Option:
Your Ecosmart will try to automatically correct
the out of balance load.It will fill with water and
agitate to redistribute the load before trying to
spin up again.
•Machine Stops Option:
Your Ecosmart will stop, giving a short burst of
beeps every five seconds and the RINSE or SPIN
light will flash.You must redistribute the load more
evenly yourself. (Use this option if you wish to
conserve water.)
1. Enter the Option Adjustment Mode.
2. Use the REGULAR button to select the Out of
Balance Recovery Option you prefer.
3. Press Power to store your selection.
If you are not satisfied with the level that your
