Clothes washer

Intelligence working for you
75 years of laundry experience has led to the development of one of the world’s most advanced
wash systems, the Smart Drive™.
Unlike conventional machines, Smart Drive™ clothes washers use intelligence to adapt the wash
action and water levels to save on water and electricity use; making it kinder on your wallet and
the environment.
Intelligent electronics
A powerful microprocessor controls every aspect of
the Smart Drive™, allowing it to continually monitor
and respond to each wash. It contains over 10,000
lines of instructions in its ‘brain’ – the result of many
years of testing and fine-tuning, to give you the best
possible performance.
Direct drive motor
Our revolutionary direct drive motor is capable of
infinite wash actions, continuously adjusting its speed
to the movement of your clothes, removing dirt while
caring for the fabric, delivering the ultimate wash.
Reliability
The Smart Drive™ has no mechanical brake, pulleys or
gears, which means fewer moving parts and greater
reliability.
Saves time
With a top spin speed of 1000 rpm, Smart Drive™
reduces clothes drying time by up to 30%.
Energy conservation
The unique wash action means a typical load uses
only the same amount of electricity as a 100-watt
light bulb left on for an hour.
Eco
Designed to make every drop count, using up to 25%
less water than a traditional rinse.

Installation instructions
Unpacking
To ensure the best performance from your new
Smart Drive™ please follow the instructions below.
Removing the packaging
1
Remove the outer packaging.
2
Tilt the machine backwards and walk it off the bottom
packer one foot at a time.
3
Remove the bottom packer from under the machine by
pulling it out the front.
4
Lift the lid and remove the bowl packer from the bowl.
5
Remove the hoses and accessories.
6
Keep the bottom packer and bowl packer in case they
are required for future transit.
Important!
Please ensure that the bottom packer has been removed before operating your machine.
Location
Your washer must be installed on a level surface, and not on any textured floor coverings
(eg carpet, rugs) to ensure that the opening at the bottom of the machine is not obstructed.
In your clothes washer you will find:
4 rubber inserts for the levelling feet (joined together).
1 hose guide.
2 inlet hoses.
Drain hose
1
Carefully pull the drain hose out from the back
of the machine by pulling the exposed part of
the hose downward and outward.
2
To guide the drain hose over the tub or
standpipe the hose guide MUST be fitted to the
drain hose.
To prevent syphoning:
The drain hose should not extend more than
20 mm from the end of the guide.
The height of the standpipe or tub should be
between 850 – 1200 mm.
The drain hose can be trimmed to length.
3
Place the drain hose in the tub or standpipe.

Inlet hoses
1
Connect the straight ends of the inlet hoses to the taps.
There are washers fitted in both ends.
2
Connect the elbow ends of the inlet hoses to the machine inlet
valves. Inlet valves are marked on the back of the machine
H = Hot C = Cold
3
Ensure you have correctly connected hot to hot, and cold to cold.
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. The cap prevents water leaking out of the hot valve. The cap is available from
your Fisher & Paykel Dealer or Authorised Repairer, Part No. 388491. This appliance incorporates
backflow protection complying with AS3500.1. No further backflow protection is required for
connection to the water supply.
Levelling
It is IMPORTANT to level the machine to ensure even
spin performance.
1
Separate the four rubber foot inserts from the moulding
and fit into the feet on the base of the machine.
2
Move the machine to its final position (we suggest a
minimum clearance of 20 mm each side).
3
Adjust the feet (wind down) so the machine is level and
cannot rock.
To check if your machine is level:
Look down on the wash bowl and make sure it sits slightly forward of centre. Close the lid.
Visually check that the lid fits evenly on both sides (see Fig.5). If not, adjust one of the front feet
slightly until it matches. The diagram on the top and bottom are not correct.
4
Turn on the water and check all hose connections for leaks. Make sure there are no kinks in the hoses.
5
Uncoil power cord, remove and discard the plastic pin cover and plug into wall socket.
