Introduction
Welcome to AquaSmart™
Thank you for buying a Fisher & Paykel AquaSmart™ clothes washer. We are proud of this washer
and trust it will serve you well for many years.
At Fisher & Paykel we aim to provide innovative products that are simple to use, ergonomic and
kind to the environment. Thousands of tonnes of washing and over 75 years of laundry experience
have been programmed into your clothes washer to help give you the best possible performance.
Your AquaSmart™ washer has an extra large capacity, numerous wash cycles and options, and
an ergonomic design so you can efficiently perform every wash task with ease. Your washer is a
‘HighEfficiency’ machine utilizing innovative technology to wash in less water while taking great
care of your clothes. Similarly, taking extra care in the way you use your high efficiency washer
will help ensure you make the most of its capabilities.
The revolutionary water and energy efficient wash action of your AquaSmart™ washer means
that it is no longer necessary to wash using a full basket of water. This innovative wash action
relies on rolling the clothes through a small volume of water to ensure optimal wash results.
Please be aware that the water level for this washer is fully automatic, meaning that there is no
option to manually select your water level.
Please take the time to read these instructions carefully before you begin using your washer.
Likewith all High Efficiency washers, a little extra care in how you sort your clothes and in
choosing your wash cycle and detergent, will ensure that you get the best possible performance
from your washer.
We hope you enjoy your new washer. We have certainly enjoyed designing it for you.

Leveling instructions
It is IMPORTANT to level the machine to ensure good spin performance and effective
detergent and fabric softener dispensing.
A spirit level is provided with your machine. Use this to level your machine, placing it bottom
side down in the locations specified below (ensure the surfaces are clean). The machine is
level when the bubble sits in the center, within the two lines.
Your washer is equipped with self-locking feet to ensure they do not move once you have
leveled your machine. To adjust the feet, tip the washer back or forward to locate the foot you
wish to adjust, pull down gently and then twist to move it up or down to the required level.
Repeat if necessary.
Important!
After leveling, the corners of the washer
should be clear of the floor (by at least
⁄”(10 mm) and the machine must not rock

into all 4 feet on the base of the machine.
2 Extend all 4 feet by three full turns before
moving the machine to its final position.
3 Move the machine to its final position using
the top corners to manoeuvre the product
into place (do not push against the center
front of the machine). We recommend a
minimum clearance of ¾”(20mm) each
side and 2”(50mm) at the rear of the
machine.
4 With the lid closed, place the spirit level at
the center back of the lid (near the control
panel). If not level, pull the machine out
and adjust the rear feet until the machine is
level side to side when in position.
5 Open the lid. Place spirit level on the flat
surface on the left side, inline with the
center of the basket. If necessary, adjust the
front left foot until the machine is level.
