Location
Install the washer on a solid and level floor surface ensuring it has at least 20 mm
clearance on each side. The washer must not be installed on any textured floor coverings
(eg carpets, rugs).
In your washer you will find:
• 1 hose guide.
• 2 inlet hoses.
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 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. Do
not fit the hose to a drain spigot. Drainage must
not be airtight in order to prevent siphoning.

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.

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 hoses
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.
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
Inlet hose ends
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 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.
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.
After levelling, the corners of the washer should be clear of the floor and the washer must
not rock in any direction.
1. Move 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 20 mm each
side and 40 mm at the rear of the washer.
2. Open 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).

3. With the lid closed, tilt the washer forward away
from the wall approximately 100 mm (Fig.2), the
self-adjusting feet will release. Gently lower the
washer back down.
Fig.2 Tilt washer forward
4. Open 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).
5. Re-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.
• 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.
