General safety
Never place your machine on a carpet covered floor. A lack of airflow from below of your
machine may cause electrical parts to overheat.
Secure the drain hose into the standpipe or tub to prevent any water leakage and to allow
machine to discharge water as required. Ensure that the inlet and drain hoses are not folded,
squashed, or broken when the appliance is pushed into place after it is installed or cleaned.
There may be some water in your machine when you receive it. This is from the quality control
process and is normal. It is not harmful to your machine.
Clean the outside of the appliance with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive detergents.
Never force open the door or use it as a step.
Your washing machine is designed to continue operation in the event of a power interruption.
The cycle will resume once the power is restored. To cancel a program, refer to the “Cancelling a

Adjusting the feet
In order for quiet and stable operation, the machine should be placed properly and levelled on
its feet.
If the machine is unstable:
1 Loosen the plastic lock nut
2 Screw or unscrew the adjustable foot until the machine stands firmly level.
3 Tighten the lock nut for stability.
Note:
Do not use any tools to loosen or tighten the lock nuts, as they can be damaged.
Connecting to the water supply
Important:
Hot water should not exceed 65ºC.
Cold water should not exceed 35ºC
Temperatures above these may cause the machine to fault or result in damage to the machine.
If you have an uncontrolled water heating source (eg. Wet back or solar heating system) you
should fit a Safe Valve. This will ensure the hot water temperature remains within safe limits.
Water supply requirements
Inlet water pressure: Max. 1Mpa (150 psi) Min. 34Pa (5 psi)
Inlet water flow rate: Min. 3 litres/min

6
Inlet hoses
The appliance must be connected to the water mains using new hose sets. Old hose sets should
not be reused.
Connecting the hoses:
1 Connect the straight ends of the inlet hoses to the taps. There are washers fitted to both ends.
2 Connect the elbow ends of the inlet hoses to the inlet valves on the back of the machine. The
cold inlet valve is marked in blue, while the hot inlet valve is marked in red.
Cold supply only
If you only have a cold water supply, an inlet valve cap (blanking cap) MUST be connected to the
hot inlet valve. This prevents water leaking out of the hot inlet valve. The cap is supplied in the
same bag as the inlet water hoses.

Installation instructions
Connecting to the drain
The water drain hose should be placed either at the side of a basin or tub, or connected directly
to the waster standpipe.
The elbow/guide, supplied with the machine, should be fitted to the drain hose before being
connected directly into the tub or wastewater standpipe.
The drain hose should not be sharply bent.
The drain hose needs to be kept at an elevated height of at least 40cm with a maximum height
of 100cm. If the hose is placed at the floor level, or close to the floor (less than 40 cm above the
ground), water discharge becomes more difficult and the laundry may come out wet.
The drain hose should extend a maximum of 20mm past the end of the elbow/guide.
The drain hose can be trimmed to length.
The maximum length of an extended drain hose is 3.2m.
Electrical connection
Connect the appliance to an earthed outlet protected by a fuse of suitable capacity.
Connection should comply with national regulations.
The voltage and the allowed fuse protection are specified in the “Technical Specifications”
section.
Caution!
If you are using an extension cord or a portable electrical outlet devise (eg. multi-socket outlet box), ensure
that it is positioned so that it does not come into contact with water or moisture.
Important:
A damaged power cable must be replaced by a qualified electrician. The appliance must not be
operated until it is repaired, as there is risk of electric shock.
Do not operate this machine if it has been damaged in during transport. Contact your Fisher &
Paykel Dealer or Authorised Service Agent.

Preparing clothes for washing
Always follow the advice on the garment care label. It will tell you about the fabric of the
garment and how it should be washed.
Sort the laundry according to type of fabric, colour, degree of soiling, and allowable water
temperature.
Check and empty pockets. Coins, safety pins etc. can damage both your machine and your
clothes.
Remove any metal attachments, or place the items in a clothing bag, pillowcase, or something
similar (eg. items such as bras, or garments with metal buttons or belt buckles). The metal
attachments may cause damage to the machine.
Close zippers, hooks and eyes. This is to make sure that these items do not snag on other clothes.
Place small items like infants’ socks and nylon stockings, etc. in a laundry bag, pillow case or
something similar. This will also save your laundry from getting lost.
Wash trousers and delicate clothes turned inside out.
Wash “machine washable” or “hand washable” labelled products with an appropriate program
only.
Do not wash colours and whites together. New, dark coloured items may release a lot of dye. It is
recommended to wash them separately.
Pre-treat heavily soiled areas with stain remover if necessary.
Use only dyes/colour changers and lime removers suitable for machine wash. Plastic and rubber
parts of the washing machine can be stained by dyes. Always follow the instructions on the
packaging.
Initial preparations for washing

Detergents and softeners
Detergent drawer
The detergent drawer is composed of three compartments:
– (I) for prewash
– (II) for main wash
– (III) siphon
– ( ) for softener
Detergent, softener and other cleaning agents
Add detergent and softener before starting the wash program.
Important:
Never open the detergent dispenser drawer while the washing program is running!
When using a program without pre-wash, no detergent should be put into the pre-wash
compartment (Compartment no. I).
Detergent quantity
The amount of washing detergent to be used depends on the amount of laundry, and the
degree of soiling.
Always follow the dosage recommendations on the detergent pack.
Insufficient detergent may result in grey laundry over time.
Too much detergent can result in excess foam formation. If the washing machine detects too
much foam the cycle may not progress to the spin phase of the program.
Do not exceed the (> max <) level marking; the softener will be wasted without being used.
Do not use liquid detergent if you want to wash using the time delay feature.

Selecting a program and operating your machine
Main programs
Depending on the type of fabric, colour, degree of soiling and permissible water temperature,
the following main programs are available:
Cottons
You can wash your durable clothes with this program. Your laundry will be washed with vigorous
washing movements during a longer washing cycle. The spin cycle is done at the highest spin
speed.
Synthetics
You can wash your less durable clothes on this program. Lighter washing movements, shorter
washing cycle and an intermediate spin speed is used compared to the “Cottons” programs. It is
recommended for your synthetic clothes, such as shirts, blouses, and synthetic/cotton blended
garments.
For curtains and lace, it is recommended to use the “Synthetics 40º” program with the pre-wash
function selected.
Woollens
You can wash your machine-washable woollen garments on this program. It is important to
select the appropriate temperature as per the care labels shown on your garments. The use of
appropriate detergents for woollens is recommended.
Delicates
You can wash your delicates clothes on this program. It uses a more sensitive washing
movement and reduced spin speed.
Shirts
Shirts programme washes business shirts perfectly at 40ºC.
This cycle uses an extended gentle wash action with a delicate spin phase to provide optimal
fabric care and minimise creasing.
Daily
Designed to wash synthetic and cotton garments together in one wash load, there is no need to
separate out fabric types or wait until there is a full load to be done.
Heavy
This program washes for a longer period at 40ºC, and gives the same result as the “Cottons 60º”
program, providing an energy saving.
Recommended for clothes that are unsuitable for the “Cottons 60º” program.
Quick
This program is used to quickly wash (30mins) a small number of lightly soiled cotton garments.
Allergy
Increased hygiene is provided by a longer heating period and an additional rinse cycle.
Recommended for baby clothes and clothes worn by people with allergies.
Handwash
You can wash your woollen/delicate clothes that bear “not machine-washable” labels, for which
hand wash is recommended, on this program.
It washes the laundry with very tender washing movements without damaging your special
garments.

12
Rinse
This program is used when you want to rinse or starch separately.
Drain & spin
This program is used to apply an additional spin cycle for the laundry, or to drain water from the
machine.
Before starting this program, select the desired spin speed. Your machine drains the water after
spinning at the set spin speed.
If you only want to drain the water, without spinning your laundry, select the “Spin & Drain”
program and then select the “no spin” speed option using the spin speed adjustment button.
For delicate garments, select a lower spin speed.
Spin speed selection
Whenever a new program is selected, the maximum spin speed of the selected program is
displayed on the spin speed indicator.
To decrease the spin speed, press the “Spin” button. The spin speed decreases gradually, then the
“rinse hold” and “no spin” options as shown respectively.
Rinse hold is shown with “ ” and no spin is shown with “ ” symbols.
If you do not want to unload your clothes immediately after the program, you may use the rinse
hold function in order to prevent your clothes from becoming wrinkled in anhydrous conditions.
Additional function buttons
Select the required additional functions before starting the program.
When selected, the button indicator light will be illuminated.
Note:
Some combinations cannot be selected together. (Ex.: Pre-wash and Quick Wash).
It is not possible to activate all the additional functions in all the wash programs. For example, if
the cotton program is selected, “Quick Wash” and “Pre-wash” functions can not be selected at the
same time. If “Pre-wash” button is selected first and then “Quick Wash” function next, the LED of
the “Pre-wash” function will turn off, as it’s no longer an active selection.
An additional function that is not compatible with the program cannot be selected. (See,
“Program selection and consumption table”).
Pre-wash
A pre-wash is only worthwhile for heavily-soiled laundry. Without pre-wash you save energy,
water, detergent and time.
Pre-wash without detergent is recommended for lace and curtains.
Quick wash
This function can be used for “Cottons” and “Synthetics” programs. It decreases the washing times
for lightly soiled garments and also the number of rinsing steps in the program.
Rinse plus
With this function, you can increase the number of current rinsing steps. This reduces the
amount of residual detergent left on the clothes, ideal for people with sensitive skin.
