In your washer you will find:
• 1 hose guide.
• 2 inlet hoses.
• User guide
Drain Hose
1. Carefully pull the drain hose out from the back
of the washer by pulling the exposed part of the
hose downward 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 siphoning the drain
hose should not extend more
than 20mm from the end of the
guide. The height of the
standpipe or tub should be
between 850 – 1200mm. The
drain hose can be trimmed to
length.
3. Place the drain hose in the tub or standpipe. Do
not fit the hose to a drain spigot. Drainage must
not be airtight in order to prevent siphoning. Fitting the drain hose guide

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
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
• 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 supply after installation.
• Do not operate this washer if it has been damaged during transport. Contact your
Fisher & Paykel dealer or Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician.

Inlet Hoses
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.
Inlet hose ends
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.
2. Connect 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.

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 the wash cycles’ on how to program
your washer to remember your wash preferences.
Levelling Instructions
It is IMPORTANT to level the washer to ensure good spin performance. Note: after levelling, the corners of the washer
should be clear of the floor and the washer must not rock in any direction.
Levelling Your Washer
1. Move the washer to its final position (we suggest a
minimum clearance of 20mm each side).
2. Adjust all four feet (wind down) so the washer is
level and does not rock.
Adjusting the levelling feet
To Check If Your Washer is Level:
1. Look down on the wash bowl and make sure it sits slightly forward of centre (see Diagram 1).
2. Close the lid.
3. 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).
