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 your clothes washer, follow basic 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 washer by someone
responsible for their safety.
 The washer should only be used for washing and rinsing of textiles where this is
indicated on the care label.
 The door will be locked from the start of the cycle until the cycle is complete
for safety reasons. It is possible to open the door during the cycle under certain
conditions (refer to page 19).
 Never force the door open.
 Keep children away from the washer while it is in operation.
 Supervise children to ensure they do not play with the washer or climb inside the drum.
 Do not touch the glass part of the door during a cycle as the door can become hot.
 Do not open the detergent dispenser during the cycle as hot water may come out of it.
 The only user-removable parts of the washer are the inlet hoses, detergent dispenser
and the pump filter. No other parts are designed to be removed by anyone other than
a Fisher & Paykel Authorised Repairer.
 When disposing of the washer, it is recommended that the door is removed to avoid
children getting trapped inside, and that the electrical cable is cut off close to the
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.
 Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in,
or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive
substances as they give off vapours that could ignite or explode.

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
 1 x Spanner
 1 x Installation leaflet (attached to the top of the washer)
 1 x Inlet valve cap
Unpacking
To ensure the best performance from your new washer please follow the instructions below.
Removing the packaging
1Remove 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.
2Tilt 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.
3Remove 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:
1Use a spanner or socket to unscrew and remove all four transit bolts at the back of the
washer (A).
2Pull 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.
3Cover the bolt holes with the white plastic plugs which are attached to the machine and
located near each hole (B). Push to clip into place.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Location
IMPORTANT!
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).
Note: this machine must not be installed and operated on a plinth.
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.
1Before positioning the machine in its final position, check
that the machine is level, front to back and side to side.
2Manoeuvre the product into its final position (we suggest a
minimum clearance of 20mm each side).
3Use a spirit level to check that the machine is correctly
level. If needed, pull the machine out. Loosen the lock nut
using the spanner provided and wind the feet up or down
to correctly level the machine.
4Using 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.
1Connect 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. Tighten the inlet hose ends by hand until the hose seal just makes contact with
the tap sealing face and then tighten a further half-turn. Make sure there are no kinks
in the hoses.
2Turn 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 selected cycle temperature.
