Intelligence working for you
Your washer is born from 75 years of Fisher & Paykel laundry innovation. Unlike conventional
machines, Fisher & Paykel clothes washers, through SmartDrive™ technology 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
A powerful microprocessor controls every aspect of
your machine, 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.
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
Your washer has no mechanical brake, pulleys or gears,
which means fewer moving parts and greater reliability.
Saves time
With a top spin speed of 1000 rpm, your washer
removes more water so your clothes dry faster.
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.
Eco
Designed to make every drop count, using up to 25%
less water than a traditional rinse.

Unpacking
To ensure the best performance from your new
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.
In your clothes washer you will find:

1 hose guide

2 inlet hoses

4 rubber foot inserts (if not already inserted into the feet of your washer)

1 user guide
Location
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.
Drain hose
1 Carefully pull the drain hose out from the back of
the machine by pulling the exposed part of the
hose upward 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 syphoning:
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 the white
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, kinks or leaks are found.
Levelling your machine
It is IMPORTANT to level the machine to ensure even spin
performance.
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 (we suggest a minimum
clearance of 20 mm each side).
3 Adjust all four feet (wind down) 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).

Getting started
Thank you for buying a Fisher & Paykel washing machine. We are very 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
energy efficient. Thousands of tonnes of washing and 75 years of laundry experience have been
programmed into your washing machine to help give you the best possible performance.
We hope you enjoy your new washing machine. We have certainly enjoyed designing it.
Before you do your first wash
You owe it to yourself and your washer to have it installed correctly by a technician from a
Fisher & Paykel Authorised Repairer.
Before you start, it is a good idea to go through the following checklist:
1 Has the basepacker been removed?
2 Is the hot hose connected to the hot valve marked ‘H’? Is the cold hose connected to the cold
valve marked ‘C’?
3 Is the drain hose threaded through the ‘U bend‘ (with no more than 20mm extended) and on to
your standpipe?
4 Are the rubber inserts secured into the feet on the base of your machine and is the machine
levelled? Refer to ‘Installation instructions’, page 3.
If you have bought a QuickSmart™ model it is a good idea to check the warm fill temperature
(refer to page 24).

10 Lid lock
Your washer 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.
The LID LOCKED light (above the START/PAUSE button)
comes on when the lid is locked to tell you when you
cannot open the lid. In short it means you can open the
lid while your washer is filling, agitating and draining,
but not while it is spinning.

When the LID LOCKED light is on, the lid is locked.

When the LID LOCKED light is off, the lid is not locked
and the lid can be opened.

If the LID LOCKED light is flashing, the lid lock is in the
process of locking or unlocking (ie while the machine’s
bowl slows down or START/PAUSE has been pressed).
During this stage the lid still cannot be opened.
Important!
If the lid is left open, the machine will be unable to lock and the cycle will be halted.
The machine will play a tune and the LID LOCKED light will flash until the lid is closed and
START/PAUSE is pressed.
The lid lock remains unlocked for the majority of the cycle allowing you to add clothes,
dissolve detergent or to add fabric softener (if you do not want to use the Automatic Fabric
Softener Dispenser).
The chart below shows the stages when
the lid is locked.
Fill Unlocked
Agitate Unlocked
Spray Rinse Locked

Important!

Keep children away from the machine, especially when you are using hot water, as the lid can
be opened during fill and agitate.

DO NOT put anything down the lid lock slot in the top deck of your machine.

DO NOT try to disable the lid lock.

3 Press START/PAUSE.
The wash progress lights
The wash progress lights show all the tasks
your washer will do during the wash cycle.
As each task is completed a light turns
off, so you can tell at a glance how far the
cycle has to go.
To advance the wash cycle
1 Press the button with the ‘two arrows’
repeatedly to advance the cycle to the
desired position.
2 Press START/PAUSE.
Note: each wash progress light equals 3 minutes of agitation. The ECO option wash progress
lights may in some cases wash for longer. This is dependent on the water level. The QUICK WASH
option shortens the agitation time for each progress light (WashSmart™ model only).
Clothes care safeguards
To avoid accidentally damaging your clothes there are a few options that your washer will not
accept. For example, you cannot select a HOT wash on the HAND WASH or EASY IRON cycles
(WashSmart™ model) and DELICATE or WOOL cycles (QuickSmart™ model), nor can you select the
ECO option on anything other than the HEAVY DUTY or REGULAR cycles (both models).

Water levels
Fig.21 Water level guide on agitator
Manual water level selection
The agitator has five levels marked on its stem that
can be used to help you select the correct water
level for your load. Select the correct water level by
using the lowest visible mark on the agitator.

The levels marked on the agitator do not correspond
exactly to the level of the water. They indicate the
level of dry clothes suitable for the water 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.

The medium/high and medium/low settings are
available on the WashSmart™ model only.

Out of balance loads, tangling or splash-over can be
caused by selecting a water level that is too high.
Auto water level
WashSmart™ model only
Your washer can automatically select the appropriate
water level for the load.
1 Place your clothes in the machine.
2 Select the wash cycle (and 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. A slow stroke to sense the
load and an agitate stroke to mix the load. (This
may take over a minute.) If the machine detects that
the water level is not high enough, it will add more
water and re-check the level.

When washing an unusual load, eg large bulky
garments or pillows, we recommend you manually
select the water level and select the HAND WASH
cycle (WashSmart™ model) or the DELICATE cycle
(QuickSmart™ model).

If there is already water in the bowl, it is best to
manually select the water level.
Note: if you feel the AUTO water level does not fill to the correct level, you can adjust the level
the machine selects (refer to ‘Changing pre-set options’, pages 22 and 25).
Fig.22 Selecting AUTO water level

14 Wash options – saving water and time
Eco
WashSmart™ and QuickSmart™ models
Use the ECO option to save water. The ECO option uses
an Eco Spray rinse which has been specially designed to
use at least 25% less water than a traditional rinse. Use
this option when you want to use less detergent and
less water. However, if you have low water pressure or
sensitive skin it is better to use a traditional rinse.
The ECO option has not been designed to be used with
fabric softener, as it does not have a second deep rinse
to dispense the softener correctly. Fabric softener should
not be used if this option is selected.
Note: the ECO option is only available on the REGULAR
and HEAVY DUTY cycles. If you try to select this option
on the HAND WASH, ALLERGY or EASY IRON cycles
(WashSmart™ model), or the WOOL or DELICATE cycles
(QuickSmart™ model), your washer will not allow you to
select it. ECO will take slightly longer than a normal spray
and deep rinse.
There are some wash loads that may not suit being
washed using the ECO option. For instance, loads that
have a lot of sand or sawdust in them or garments where
the colour still runs from them.
Quick wash
WashSmart™ model only
Our WashSmart™ model provides an excellent
opportunity to save time. Use the QUICK WASH option to
halve the wash time during the REGULAR, HEAVY DUTY,
HAND WASH or EASY IRON wash cycles. We recommend
using the QUICK WASH option for lightly soiled loads.
Note: when the QUICK WASH and SOAK options are
selected at the same time, the soak time will also be
halved.
The QUICK WASH option has not been designed to be
used with fabric softener as it does not have a second
deep rinse to dispense the softener correctly. Fabric
softener should not be used if this option is selected.

Wash options
Soak
WashSmart™ model only
Use the SOAK option to soak clothes at the end of the wash
phase or when you wish to re-use the wash water.
When you select SOAK your washer will soak for a period of
2hours before completing RINSE and SPIN. During SOAK your
washer will agitate for a few seconds every minute.
Note: when both the SOAK and QUICK WASH options are
selected, the soak time will be halved.
Nappy sanitisers/bleach
Nappy sanitisers and bleach are very corrosive to metal surfaces. These should not be used in
your machine.
Important!
DO NOT use your washer to soak items in bleach or sanitiser, and if you’ve soaked items in a bucket,
do not tip the contents of the bucket into your machine. The chemicals in these products can
damage your washer. Rinse and wring items out thoroughly before placing them in your machine.
Spin Hold
WashSmart™ & QuickSmart™ model
Use the SPIN HOLD option to:

Remove drip dry garments from a mixed load before the wash
goes into SPIN.

Minimise the clothes creasing when they are left to sit in the
bottom of the bowl at the end of the cycle.
When you have selected SPIN HOLD, the washer 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.
Note: the spin speed will be the default speed for the cycle.
Delay Start
WashSmart™ model only
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 washer will begin the delay
period. You do not have to press START/PAUSE.

Be careful if using DELAY START for non-colourfast clothes as
dyes may run if the clothes are damp.

Your washer will not beep at the end of the cycle if DELAY
START is selected.

16 Wash options
Washing bulky items
Forcing large items into the machine may result in
them being damaged during washing. Make sure
there is enough room in the machine for items to
move when being washed.
Some items float up during the wash (eg duvets/
doonas and pillows). If they sit too high they may
touch stationary parts of the machine during
agitate or spin. To minimise 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 a SLOW spin.
Important!
To prevent an out of balance load or splash-over we recommend washing bulky items on the
HAND WASH cycle (WashSmart™ model) or the DELICATE cycle (QuickSmart™ model).
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.
Washing woollens
Many woollen items carry a MACHINE WASHABLE care
claim. The fibres of these woollens have been treated
to prevent felting when they are machine washed.

Check the care label.

Use a wool detergent.

Use the specially designed HAND WASH cycle (WashSmart™ model) or WOOL cycle
(QuickSmart™model). For your more durable woollens you may want to use the EASY IRON cycle
(WashSmart™modelonly).

Hand washed woollens may be spun in your washer (select SLOW spin speed).

To dry woollens lie them flat on a towel and pat into shape. Dry out of direct sunlight.
Most handcrafted garments are not made of machine washable wool and we recommend that
you wash them by hand only.
Note: some wool underlays and sheepskin products can be washed in a washing machine but
could produce excessive amounts of lint that may cause pump blockages.
Fig.28 Bulky items should sit below the
medium high water level mark.
