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).


Your cold water should not exceed 35°C and your
hot water should not exceed 65°C. Temperatures
above these may cause the machine to fault or
cause damage to the machine.

If you have an uncontrolled water heating source
(eg a wet back or solar heating system) you should
fit a Safe Valve (sold separately). This will ensure the
hot water temperature remains within safe limits.

Inlet water pressure: Max.1 MPa (150 psi) Min. 34 Pa (5 psi).

Inlet water flow rate: Min. 3 litres/min.

Minimum height of taps to clear the top of the machine is 1150mm.
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 drained floor.

Draining must comply with local by-laws.

This clothes washer is not intended for use by children and persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Your washer can be opened while it is filling and agitating. Supervise children at all times to
ensure they do not play with the washer.
WARNING!
Electrical Shock Hazard
If you are using an extension cord or a portable electrical outlet device
(eg multi-socket outlet box), ensure that it is positioned so that it does

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).
