FabricSmart™ clothes washer

Intelligence working for you
The FabricSmart™ washer is born from 75 years of Fisher and Paykel laundry innovation. With
sophisticated electronics and a revolutionary direct drive motor, it cleans and cares for your
clothes as never before.
Unlike conventional machines, FabricSmart™ clothes washers use intelligence to continually
adapt the wash action and water levels to save on water and electricity use; making it kinder on
your wallet and the environment.
Intelligent electronics
Two powerful microprocessors control every aspect of the
FabricSmart™ washer, allowing it to continually monitor and
respond to each wash. This intelligence is the result of many
years of testing and fine-tuning, giving you the best possible
performance.
Energy conservation
The unique wash action means a typical load uses only the same
amount of electricity as a 100-watt light bulb left on for an hour.
Direct drive motor
Our revolutionary direct drive motor is capable of infinite wash
actions, continuously adjusting its speed to the movement of
your clothes, removing dirt while caring for the fabric, delivering
the ultimate wash.
Reliability
FabricSmart™ has no mechanical brake, pulleys or gears,
which means fewer moving parts and greater reliability.
Eco Active
™
wash system
The FabricSmart™ washing method uses a combination of front
loader and top loader washing technologies – boosting dirt and
soil removal while conserving energy.
Agitator
Flexible fins on the agitator work in conjunction with the motor
to understand your wash. Delicate fabrics will slither around
the fins, whereas heavy fabrics will move with more resistance.
Sensors in the motor measure this resistance to effectively “feel”
the load, sensing the type of fabric in the load.
The Eco (Save Water++) option
Designed to make every drop count, using up to 25% less water
than the traditional Water Saver rinse, without compromising on
wash performance.

2Installation instructions
Unpacking
To ensure the best performance from your new
FabricSmart™ washer please follow the instructions below.
Removing the packaging
1
Remove the outer packaging.
2
Tilt the machine backwards and walk it off the bottom
packer one foot at a time.
3
Remove the bottom packer from under the machine by
pulling it out the front.
4
Lift the lid and remove the bowl packer from the bowl.
5
Remove the hoses and accessories.
6
Keep the bottom packer and bowl packer in case they
are required for future transit.
Important!
Please ensure that the bottom packer has been removed before operating your machine.
Installation
Your washer must be installed on a level surface, and not on any textured floor coverings
(eg carpet, rugs) to ensure that the opening at the bottom of the machine is not obstructed.
In your clothes washer you will find:

1 hose guide.

2 inlet hoses.
Drain hose
1
Carefully pull the grey 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.
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 drain hose can be trimmed to length.
3
Place the drain hose in the tub or standpipe.

Inlet hoses
Note: new hose sets provided with the machine are to 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 blue
connector hose to cold (if your hoses are colour-coded).
2
Connect the elbow ends of the inlet hoses to the corresponding machine
inlet valves.
Inlet valves are marked on the back of the machine.
H = Hot C = Cold
Minimum height of taps to clear the top of the machine is 1150 mm.
Cold supply only:
If you only have a cold water supply, an inlet valve cap (blanking cap) MUST be connected to
the hot inlet valve. The cap prevents water leaking out of the hot valve. The cap is available from
your Fisher & Paykel Dealer or Authorised Repairer, Part No. 388491p. This appliance incorporates
backflow protection complying with AS3500.1. No further backflow protection is required for
connection to the water supply.
Note: your washer does not have an internal heater to heat water.
Inlet hose replacement
We recommend replacing the inlet hoses every 5 years. Hoses should be checked from time to
time and replaced if any wear, cuts, bulges or kinks are identified, or leaks are found.
Levelling your machine
It is IMPORTANT to level the machine to ensure
even spin performance.
1
Move the machine to its final position (we suggest
a minimum clearance of 20 mm each side).
2
Adjust the feet (by winding down or up to suit)
so the machine is level and does not rock.
To check if your machine is level:
Look down on the wash bowl and make sure it sits slightly forward of centre (see Diagram 1).
Close the lid. Visually check that the lid fits evenly on both sides. If it does not look like the
diagram in the middle, adjust one of the feet slightly until it matches. The diagram on the top
and bottom are not correct (see Diagram 2).

How Dirty?
Your FabricSmart™ washer will automatically
choose the medium soil level (three HOW DIRTY
bars). This setting has been designed for your
average, everyday load. However, some loads
may need more or less washing depending on
the amount of soil on the clothes. For example,
a load of dirty jeans will need the soil level
increased while a bath towel used only once
will only need a low soil level.
Stained
This is a special wash action that alternates washing with four short soaks to help remove stains
from your garments (eg three minutes agitation, four minutes soak, three minutes agitation, etc).
STAINED will use a medium soil level agitation.
Note: this cycle is for general stains, if you have a specific stain (ie blood, grass, fruit, wine,
chocolate or tomato) use one of the STAINS cycles (refer to pages 21 and 22).
Once you have selected the soil level all you need to do is touch to begin the wash. The
machine will automatically sense the correct water level and wash action for your load (the
default cycle is AUTO SENSING). We recommend letting the machine do the thinking for you!
However, if you wish to customise some wash options, please refer to pages 12 – 15.
Washer feedback
Your FabricSmart™ washer will display which stage of the cycle the machine is at and how many
minutes the wash cycle has to go, so you can tell at a glance when your washing will be finished.
The number of minutes to go is displayed from the beginning of the agitation wash, as the load
size and fabric type have to be determined before the cycle time can be calculated.
A series of symbols are also displayed on the screen to indicate where in the cycle the washer is
up to (refer to page 7).

Eco Active
™
wash
The Eco Active™ wash, is a unique washing method that uses a combination of front loader and
top loader washing technologies. This dual action wash gives excellent wash performance and
means you retain the convenience and capacity of a top loading machine while introducing the
gentle cascade wash action and energy efficiency of a front loader.
Wash 1 – Detergent activating wash (front-loader type wash)
The FabricSmart™ washer fills the bowl at the selected
temperature with just enough water so that your
clothes are 100% saturated. This small amount of
sudsy water flows through the clothes, up a specially
designed portal and back onto the clothes in a cascade
effect. This wash action thoroughly dissolves and
activates the detergent.
The concentrated solution of detergent and
water rapidly targets stains and soils at the fibre
level, boosting soil removal and accelerating the
wash process.
Wash 2 – Agitation wash (top-loader type wash)
After recirculating the sudsy water through the clothes
for 2 – 5 minutes, your FabricSmart™ washer will fill
with just enough cool water to suspend the clothes
in solution. Your washer will then sense the average
fabric type of the load and begin the agitation wash.
Agitating massages the soil off the fibres and away
from the clothes. Due to its concentrated headstart the
clothes require less agitation than a conventional top
loader washer.
Note: the detergent activating wash is the only time
during the cycle that hot water is used (when the
machine is completely full the water will be lukewarm).
If you are wanting hot water in the agitation wash,
you will need to choose a TRADITIONAL WASH in the
OPTIONS menu (refer to page 15).

Your FabricSmart™ has a lid lock, which locks
when your machine is spinning. This ensures
the lid cannot be opened during hazardous
parts of the cycle, providing added safety for
you and your family.
A Lid lock symbol ( ) appears in the corner of the screen when locked (it disappears when
unlocked), letting you know at a glance if you can open the lid or not.
In short, it means you can open the lid while your FabricSmart™ is filling, agitating and draining,
but not while it is spinning, allowing you to add or remove clothes, dissolve detergent or add
fabric softener (that is if you do not want to use the Automatic Fabric Softener Dispenser).
The chart below shows the stages when the lid is locked/unlocked.

If the lid is left open, the machine will be unable to lock the lid and the cycle will be halted. The
machine will beep and a message will appear in the display screen saying “Help! I can’t LOCK
THE LID. Close lid and press START”.

Do not put anything down the slot in the top deck.

Do not try to disable the lid lock.
Keep children away from the machine especially when you are using hot water as the lid can be
opened during fill and agitate.

The temperature option selects the temperature of the detergent activating wash (the first
phase of an Eco Active™ wash), or the agitation wash of a traditional wash. Please refer to
page 22 for more detail.
Note: you can also access this option from the wash options screen (touch the button).
Water Level
Your FabricSmart™ washer can automatically select the right water level for the load. As your
machine fills it 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: a slow stroke to sense the
load, and an agitate stroke to mix the load (this may take over a minute). If it detects that the
water level is not high enough it will fill with more water and recheck the level. Your washer may
occasionally add water during agitation. This is to maintain the water level due to the release of air
trapped in the garments.
For some loads you may want to manually select the water level. When washing an unusual load,
such as large bulky garments or pillows, we recommend you manually set the water level, or use the
specially designed DUVET/DOONA cycle (refer to page 20).
If you wish to choose the water level yourself, use the marks on the agitator to guide you. The
mark nearest to the top of the clothes indicates the water level you should select. The levels
marked on the agitator are a guide for the dry clothes
and do not correspond exactly to the water level.
Selecting a water level that is too high can cause out of
balance loads, tangling or splash-over.
If there is already water in your FabricSmart™ before you
start your wash there may be a short pause before it
starts washing. Depending on the amount of water in the
bowl it may automatically start the detergent activating
wash (without adding any more water) or move straight
to the agitation wash if there is a lot of water in the bowl.
Options

Wash Advance
Use WASH ADVANCE to advance the cycle or to start the cycle at a particular stage. This is a good
option if you only want to use part of the cycle, eg the rinse and spin, or prewash. Please refer to
page 22 for more detail.
Note: you can also access this option from the wash options screen (touch the button).
Spin
This option allows you to limit the spin speed to either fast (1000 rpm) or medium (670 rpm).
How Dirty
Some loads need a little more or a little less washing than others. Set this according to the
amount of soil in your load. This also gives you the option to set the HOW DIRTY level if you
missed setting it from the idle screen at the start, or have changed your mind (refer to page 8).
Delay Start
Delays the start of the wash cycle between
15 minutes and 18 hours. Scroll to choose
how long you want your machine to delay for.
Touch to begin the countdown. To cancel
the countdown touch again.
Note: be careful if using DELAY START for non-colourfast clothes that are damp, as the dye may
transfer and/or run.
Drip Dry
Selecting DRIP DRY will pause the washer at the end of the rinse, allowing you to remove
drip-dry garments before the washer goes into final spin. The washer will beep and display a
message to tell you that it is waiting for another instruction. Once items have been removed,
touch to begin the spin.
Soak
The washer will soak for approximately 2 hours in the middle of the wash phase, then complete
the rest of the cycle. During soak the machine will agitate for a few seconds every minute. SOAK
will be shortened to approximately one hour if the SAVE TIME option is selected.
Save Time
SAVE TIME allows you to shorten the wash cycle for lightly soiled clothes. Selecting this option
reduces rinse, soak and spin times. To save more time, reduce the wash time by decreasing the
number of HOW DIRTY bars. SAVE TIME can be turned on or off at any time during the cycle.
Options
Fig.17 Selecting the DELAY START time

15
Save Water
FabricSmart™ provides an excellent opportunity to save water, with two water saving options
available: 1) the traditional SAVE WATER option, and 2) the ECO (SAVE WATER++) option.
SAVE WATER minimises the amount of water used. The rinse type your washer chooses depends
on the type of fabric you are washing and the options you have chosen. SAVE WATER reduces the
amount of water by altering the rinse option, for example:
Standard rinse Save Water Eco (Save Water++)
Spray + deep rinse becomes Shower rinse (3 – 4 shower rinses) becomes Eco Spray rinse
2 Deep rinses becomes 1 deep rinse becomes Eco Spray rinse
ECO (SAVE WATER++) uses an Eco Spray rinse, which cuts water use by a further 25%. Try using
this option when you want to use less detergent and less water. If you have low water pressure
or sensitive skin it is better to use the SAVE WATER option.
Neither of these save water options are designed to be used with fabric softener, as they do
not have a second deep rinse to dispense the softener correctly. There are some loads that may
not suit being washed using SAVE WATER options, for instance loads that have a lot of sand or
sawdust in them, or garments where the colour still runs. These loads are better rinsed using a
deep rinse.
Traditional Wash
Your FabricSmart™ washer can be set to a traditional top loading wash, where the clothes are
agitated in a bowl full of water at a temperature you have selected.
Settings
You can fine-tune the wash options and display settings of your FabricSmart™ washer
(refer to page 16).

Out Of Balance Recovery
When your washer is spinning it can sense when the wash load is out of balance and will stop
and retry spinning up to three times. If the machine still senses an unbalanced load there are
two options the machine can take.
Automatic recovery action
Your washer 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 action
Your washer will stop, give a short burst of beeps every five seconds, and display a message
to let you
know to redistribute the load more evenly yourself (use this option if you wish to
conserve water).
