SAFETY AND WARNINGS
!WARNING!
Electric 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
not come into contact with water or moisture.
Failure to do so may result in death or electrical shock.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! When using this appliance always exercise basic safety precautions
including the following:
 This clothes washer is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they are supervised or given instructions on how to use the clothes washer by
someone responsible for their safety, and they understand the hazards involved.
 The clothes washer should only be used for washing and rinsing of textiles where this
is indicated on the care label.
 Keep children away from the clothes washer while it is in operation.
 Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
 Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be completed by children without supervision.
 The only user removable parts of the clothes washer are the inlet hoses and agitator.
No other parts are designed to be removed by anyone other than a Fisher&Paykel
trained and supported service technician.
 The lid will be locked for stages of the cycle for safety reasons.
 Never force open the lid.
 When disposing of the clothes washer, it is recommended that the lid is taped down
to avoid children getting trapped inside, and that the electrical cable is cut off close
to the clothes washer.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Electrical connection
 This appliance must be supplied with a 220–240V, 50Hz, sinusoidal, 10Aelectrical supply.
 Check the power cord for damage, making sure it is not squashed or twisted.
 A damaged power cord must be replaced by a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported
service technician, in order to avoid a hazard.
 The appliance must not be operated until it is repaired, as there is a risk of electric shock.
Draining
 Regularly check that your standpipe or tub is free from lint or other obstructions, which
may affect how your washer works or may cause flooding.
 In multi-storey apartments or any upper floor, the washer should be installed on a floor
equipped with a drain.
 Draining must comply with local by-laws.
Water supply
IMPORTANT!
Your cold water should not exceed 35°C and your hot water should not exceed 65°C.
Temperatures above these may cause the washer to fault or cause damage to the washer.
 If you have an uncontrolled water heating source (eg a wet back or solar heating
system) you should fit a tempering valve. This will ensure the hot water temperature
remains within safe limits.
 Contact your registered plumber to select and install the tempering valve.
 Inlet water static pressure: Max.1MPa(150psi) Min.34KPa (5psi)
 Inlet water flow rate at tap: Min.6litres/min
IMPORTANT!
 This appliance must be installed in accordance with the installation instructions
before use.
 Provide accessibility to the plug or incorporate a switch in the fixed wiring in
accordance with the wiring rules to allow disconnection of the appliance from the

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Inlet hoses
IMPORTANT!
WARNING: Failure to adhere to the following instructions
may result in a flood and damage to property.
 New hose sets provided with the washer shall be used to
connect the washer to the water supply.
 Old hose sets should not be used.
 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.
1Connect 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.
2Connect the elbow ends of the inlet hoses to the corresponding washer inlet valves.
Inlet valves are marked on the back of the washer. Ensure the Hot valve is connected
to the hot tap and the Cold valve is connected to the cold tap.
H = Hot C = Cold
Cold water supply only:
If you only have a cold water supply, a 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 Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service
technician, 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.
Should you wish to use cold water only for all wash cycles, refer to ‘Customising wash
cycles’ on how to program your washer to remember your wash preferences.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Levelling instructions
It is IMPORTANT to level the washer to ensure good spin performance.
A spirit level is provided with your washer. Use this to level your washer, always placing
it on a clean, flat surface. The washer is level when the bubble sits in the centre, within
the two lines.
Your washer is equipped with self-locking feet at the front to ensure they do not move
once you have levelled your washer. To adjust the feet, tilt the washer back and twist to
move them up or down.
Note: after levelling, the corners of the washer should be clear of the floor and the
washer must not rock in any direction.
1Move the washer to its final position using the
top corners to manoeuvre the product into place
(do not push on the centre front of the washer).
We recommend a minimum clearance of 20mm
each side and 40mm at the rear of the washer.
2Open the lid, place the spirit level at the centre
front of the top deck forward of the lid lock slot.
Level the washer from side to side by winding up
or down the front feet (Fig.1).
3With the lid closed, tilt the washer forward away
from the wall approximately 100mm (Fig.2), the
self-adjusting feet will release. Gently lower the
washer back down.
4Open the lid, place the spirit level at either the
right hand or left hand side of the top deck.
Level the washer from front to back using the
front feet only (Fig.3), winding both feet in or
out equally. Tilt the washer forward again and
lower back down (Fig.2).
5Re-check the washer is level. Move the spirit
level around to all positions once more, checking
the washer is level in all areas. Repeat step 4 if
necessary. Check the washer does not rock from
side to side, front to back, or corner to corner.
IMPORTANT!
 Keep your spirit level for the next time you
move or reposition your washer.
 If moving or transporting your washer in
the future, ensure you tape the lid down
beforehand.
