UserGuide before operating this appliance, pages 3 – 5.
Failure to do so can result in death, electric shock, fire or injury to persons.
Please note: to obtain maximum efficiency, your Fisher & Paykel WashSmart washer has the ability
to learn and adapt to the local environment. This may take several wash cycles, therefore maximum
energy efficiency may not be achieved until a number of wash cycles have been completed.
This usually takes about 5 cycles.

Many washers are located near a gas dryer or a water heater in the home.
WARNING!
Risk of Fire Hazard
For your safety the information in this manual must be followed to minimize
the risk of fire or explosion or to prevent property damage, personal injury
or loss of life.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service
agency or the gas supplier.
What to do if you smell gas

DO NOT try to light any appliance.

DO NOT touch an electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.

Clear the room, building or area of all occupants.

Immediately call your gas supplier from your neighbor’s phone.



Water heater safety
Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been
used for two weeks or more.
HYDROGEN GAS CAN BE EXPLOSIVE UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES.
If the hot water has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility of damage or
injury by turning on all hot water faucets and allowing them to run for several minutes before
using any electrical appliance which is connected to the hot water system. This will allow any
hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or
appliance during this process.
