Installation instructions
Accessories
Please check you received the following accessories with your Fisher & Paykel washer. You will
find them inside the drum:

2 x Inlet hoses

1 x Drain hose guide

1 x Installation instructions and User guide


Unpacking
To ensure the best performance from your new washer please follow the instructions below.
Removing the packaging
1 Remove the outer packaging (including the polystyrene packer and plastic wrapping). All
packaging must be removed prior to use. Ensure these materials are kept out of reach of
children. Note: a small amount of water may be seen inside the packaging and inside the washer.
This is the result of factory testing and is normal.
2 Tilt the machine backwards and ‘walk’ it off the base one foot at a time. Not doing so may cause
damage to your floor and washer.
3 Remove all packaging and accessories from inside the drum.
Removing the transit bolts
The clothes washer is fitted with 4 transit bolts at the rear to avoid damage during transportation.
Important!
The 4 transit bolts MUST be removed prior to operation of the machine. Failure to remove these
will result in damage to the machine.
To remove the bolts:
1 Use a spanner or socket to unscrew and remove all four transit bolts at the back of the washer
(Figure 2, “C”).
2 Pull the black rubber grommets to remove the bolt, grommet and white plastic spacers from the
machine. Keep the transit bolts in case they are required for future transit of the machine. Never
transport the machine without the transit bolts properly fixed in place.
3 Cover the bolt holes with the white plastic plugs which are attached to the machine and located
near each hole (Figure 2, “P”). Push to clip into place.

Location
Install the machine 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 carpet, rugs).
Levelling the machine
It is IMPORTANT to level the machine to ensure good spin
performance, and to minimise noise, vibrations and wear
and tear on the washer.
1 Before positioning the machine in its final position, check
that the machine is level, front to back and side to side.
2 Manoeuvre the product into its final position (we suggest a
minimum clearance of 20 mm each side).
3 Use a spirit level to check that the machine is correctly level.
If needed, pull the machine out and wind the feet up or
down to correctly level the machine.
4 Using the spanner provided, tighten the lock nuts against
the base of the machine to lock the feet in position.
Connecting to the water supply
Inlet hoses
Important!

New hose sets provided with the washer should be used to
connect the washer to the water mains.

Old hose sets should not be re-used.

We recommend the inlet hoses are changed every 5 years.
WARNING: Failure to do so may result in a flood and
damage to property.
1 Connect the straight ends of the inlet hoses to the taps
and the elbow ends to the corresponding machine inlet
valves. The hot valve is colour coded orange to make this
easier. Make sure there are no kinks in the hoses.
2 Turn the taps on and check for leaks. Check for leaks again
after 24 hours.
Important!
The hot water temperature should not exceed 65°C and the cold water temperature not exceed35°C.
Temperatures above these may cause the machine to fault or cause damage to the machine.

Installation instructions
If you have an uncontrolled water heating source (eg a wet back or solar heating system) you
should fit a Hot ‘N’ Safe Valve. This will ensure the hot water temperature remains within safe limits.
Hot ‘N’ Safe Valves available are:
RMC TVA 50HF
RMC TVA 75HFS
Adjustable between 35°C – 55°C
RMC TVA 50HP
For instantaneous gas hot water supply
Water supply requirements:

Inlet water pressure: Maximum 1 MPa (150 psi), Minimum 30 kPa (4.5 psi)

Inlet water flow rate: Minimum 6 litres /minute
Cold supply only:
If you only have a cold water supply, the inlet valve cap (blanking cap) which came with your
washer must be connected to the hot inlet valve. The cap prevents water leaking out of the hot
valve. This appliance incorporates backflow protection complying with AS3500.1. No further
backflow protection is required for connection to the water supply.
Note: your washer has an internal heater to heat water. If you do not connect a hot water inlet
hose, your washer will automatically recognise there is no hot water supply and its internal
heater will heat the cold water to the required cycle temperature.
Draining
Drain hose placement
1 To guide the drain hose over the tub or standpipe
the hose guide must be fitted to the drain hose.
The height of the standpipe or tub should be
between 800 – 1200mm.
2 Secure the hose guide so it cannot become
dislodged from the standpipe or tub.
Important!
If the drain hose is placed on the ground or if the
standpipe or tub is less than 800 mm high, the
washing machine will continuously drain while
being filled (siphon).

Regularly check that your standpipe or tub is free from lint or other obstructions, which may
affect how your machine works or may cause flooding.

The drain hoses should be checked from time to time and replaced if any damage (eg wear, cuts,
bulges, kinks, leaks, etc) is found. Do not bend the drain hose sharply, as this may cause it to split.

In multi-storey apartments or any upper floor, the machine should be installed on a floor
equipped with a drain.

Draining must comply with local by-laws.

Before you do your first wash
Before you start, it is a good idea to go through the following checklist:
1 Have the packaging and transit bolts been removed?
2 Is the drain hose threaded through the ‘U bend‘ (with no more than 20 mm extended) and
hooked into your standpipe or tub?
3 Is the hot hose connected to the hot valve (colour-coded orange)? Is the cold hose connected to
the cold valve (colour-coded white)? Have the taps been turned on?
4 Is the machine correctly levelled, feet are locked and cabinet corners clear of the floor and walls?
5 Has the power cord been connected to an appropriate power supply and the power turned on?
6 Have you performed the installation test cycle?
7 We recommend you complete your first cycle with a half-load amount of detergent and without a
load in order to remove any residues remaining in the machine from the manufacturing process.
Important!
You must ensure all 4 transit bolts have been removed from your washer before you start using it.
If the transit bolts are not removed, they will damage your washer and YOUR WARRANTY WILL BE
COMPROMISED.

14 WashSmart™ and QuickSmart™ controls
SmartTouch™ Control Dial
The SmartTouch™ Control Dial provides easy and efficient wash cycle
selection. As you rotate the dial, the icon of the wash cycle selected
will be illuminated, along with the default settings for that cycle on
the right side of the control panel.
SmartTouch™ buttons
The smooth, easy clean buttons enable easy selection of options with
lights clearly showing the selections you are making.
Digital display screen
The digital display screen provides feedback on how long the wash
cycle has to go. If you have programmed a DELAY START, the time
remaining till the cycle will start will be displayed here, along with
any messages to help you with the overall running of your washer
(eg user warnings).
Time to go
Your washer displays approximately how many minutes the cycle you
are running has remaining, so that you can tell at a glance when your
washing will be finished.
Please be aware that a number of factors can influence the overall
cycle time, eg the water flow rate, water pressure, whether hot water
is being used from the tap or the water is heated by the internal
heater, load size, cycle and option selections. Therefore cycle times
will vary. Unexpected factors in a wash cycle (eg out of balance,
oversudsing) can lengthen the cycle time. The time remaining is
constantly updated taking these factors into account, which may
mean the time displayed for the cycle becomes longer than was
initially estimated.
Progress lights
The progress lights indicate what part of the cycle the washer
is currently on (wash, rinse or spin). All three lights are on at the
beginning of the cycle. The light for the current part of the cycle
flashes, and each one goes out when that part of the cycle is complete.
Keylock mode
Keylock can be used to lock the buttons on your washer. This will
avoid accidental button pushes. For more detail please refer to
page 24.

Safety features
Door lock
The door of your washer is locked once you touch START / PAUSE until the machine beeps at the
end of the cycle, ensuring safety for you and your family while your machine is operating.
To unlock the door during the cycle

You can open the door to add or remove items during the wash simply by touching the
START / PAUSE button. Note: the door will remain locked if the temperature inside the washer
is above 60°C and / or the water level is above the bottom of the door seal (a warning will be

Add a Garment (WashSmart™ only)
The ADD A GARMENT function can be used to interrupt the cycle to add or remove a garment at
anytime during the wash (as long as the wash temperature selected for the cycle is lower than
60°C) by draining water from the machine to a level where the door can be opened, if necessary.
Refer to page 23 for more information.
Opening the door during a power failure
If there is a power failure during a wash cycle your washer
will stop and the door will remain locked. You can unlock
the washer door to remove your clothes by opening the
pump filter cover at the bottom right of your washer.
Simply place a coin or key in the slot and tilt it upwards
to lever the cover open, then pull the door release tab.
Note: Do not attempt to do this if the water level
in the washer is above the level of the door. When
power is restored you will need to restart your machine
by simply pressing the POWER button. The washer will
remember where in the cycle it was up to.
Your washer also has the following protective measures:

Flood protection – turns off valves and turns pump on if a flood condition is detected.

Out-of-balance protection – stops and redistributes the load if an unbalanced load condition is
sensed, and / or slows the spin speed to compensate.

Excess suds protection – pauses for 10 minutes to allow suds to break down before continuing
the cycle.

16 Sorting and loading
When preparing your wash load there are some important things to consider:
Sorting
Sort items according to colour, fabric type, and soil type. Wash fine, delicate fabrics separately
from thick, heavy fabrics. Always separate coloured items from whites, especially when they are
new. Colour run could be an issue if you wash items at higher temperatures. Some soils, like mud
and blood are best washed in cold water. Oily soils (eg some foods and marks on shirt collars)
are best washed in warm water. The following are recommendations for what cycles and settings
you may wish to wash different items on, and suggestions for special wash requirements.
Items /Wash requirements Suggested cycle & options Suggested temperature
Towels Everyday 30°C or 40°C
Sheets, pillowcases Everyday, 1100 rpm spin 30°C or 40°C

Sorting and loading
Before you load

Check pockets for items that could damage your clothes or get caught in the washer.

Close zippers, hooks and eyes, and other fastenings (ie fasten the opening of duvet / doona
covers), and remove loose bra wires. All these can damage both your washer and your clothes.

Place delicate items, such as lingerie, in a mesh laundry bag before placing in the machine.

Pre-treat any stains, taking care not to spray pre-treaters on your washer as they can cause
damage to the plastic surfaces.
Loading
Your washer will be more efficient when washing larger loads, so try to collect enough items to
loosely fill the drum when the items are dry.
Important!

Do not overload your washing machine beyond its rated capacity.

Please do not under any circumstances wash an electric blanket in your washer.

Do not wash curtains in this washer, as sunlight makes them brittle and they may disintegrate
during washing.
EN

18 Detergent and fabric softener
Detergent type
Your WashSmart™ or QuickSmart™ washer requires low sudsing detergent to prevent oversudsing
problems. Low sudsing detergent comes in powder, liquid or pod form and is labelled “Front
Loading”, “Low Suds”, High Efficiency” or “HE”.
Using top loading detergent in your front loader washer may lead to excessive suds formation,
which will lengthen the cycle time as the machine waits for the suds to dissolve.
Where do I put my detergent?
Powdered or liquid detergent is added to the main wash detergent compartment on the left
side of the dispensing drawer marked with a “2”. As the machine fills, some water is flushed
through this compartment to deliver a detergent solution into the drum.
Pods – Detergent pods are a “no mess” alternative to powdered or liquid detergent. They must be
placed at the back of the drum prior to loading your clothes. This will ensure they are activated
quickly in the wash. Do not place pods in the detergent dispenser drawer.
If you wish to use the PRE WASH option, liquid or powdered detergent must be placed in the
prewash detergent compartment on the right side of the drawer, marked with a “1”. When
you select PRE WASH, the pre wash compartment is flushed at the start of the cycle.
Fig.20 Pre wash optionFig.19 Detergent in the
prewash compartment
PUSH
Important!

If you select the PRE WASH you cannot use liquid detergent in the main wash detergent
compartment. You must use powdered detergent for the main wash.

Make sure the detergent dispenser draw is completely closed before starting the cycle.
