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.
 Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances
to the wash water. These substances give off vapours that could ignite orexplode.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unpacking
To ensure the best performance from your new washer please follow the instructions below.
Removing the packaging
1Remove the outer packaging.
2Tilt the washer backwards and walk it off the
base packer one foot at a time (ensure the lid
is still taped down).
3Remove the base packer from under the
washer by tilting the washer backwards and
pulling the packer out the front.
4Remove the tape, lift the lid and remove the
bowl packer from the bowl.
5Remove the hoses and accessories.
6Keep the base packer and bowl packer in case
they are required for future transit.
IMPORTANT!
Please ensure that the base packer has been removed BEFORE OPERATING your washer.
Location
IMPORTANT!
Install the washer on a solid and level floor surface ensuring it has at least 20mm
clearance on each side. The washer must not be installed on any textured floor
coverings (eg carpets, rugs).
In your washer you will find:

of the washer by pulling the exposed part of the
hose downward and outward.
2To guide the drain hose over the tub or
standpipe the hose guide MUST be fitted to the
drain hose.
IMPORTANT!
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.

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
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.

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 the
wash cycles’ on how to program your washer to remember your wash preferences.
