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.

Water supply
For best operating conditions your hot water
should be approximately 65°C. Your cold water
should not exceed 35°C or your hot water exceed
75°C. Temperatures above these may cause the
machine to fault or cause damage to the machine.
If you have an uncontrolled water heating source
(eg a wet back or solar heating system) you should
fit a Safe Valve. This will ensure the hot water temperature remains within safe limits.
Inlet water pressure: Max.1 MPa (150 psi) Min. 34 Pa (5 psi)
Inlet water flow rate: Min. 3 litres/min
Minimum height of taps to clear the top of the machine is 1150 mm.
Draining
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.
In multi-storey apartments or any upper floor, the machine should be installed on a drained floor.
Draining must comply with local by-laws.
Clothes washer safety
This clothes washer is not intended for use by children and persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Your Smart Drive™ can be opened while it is filling and agitating. Supervise children at all times
to ensure they do not play with the washer.
WARNING!

Getting started
Thank you for buying a Fisher & Paykel Smart Drive™ washing machine. We are very 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
energy efficient. Thousands of tonnes of washing and 75 years of laundry experience have been
programmed into your washing machine to help give you the best possible performance.
We hope you enjoy your new washing machine,
we have certainly enjoyed designing it.
Before you do your first wash
You owe it to yourself and your Smart Drive™ to have it installed correctly by a technician from a
Fisher & Paykel Authorised Repairer.
Before you start, it is a good idea to go through the following checklist:
1
Has the basepacker been removed?
2
Is the hot hose connected to the hot valve marked ‘H’? Is the cold hose connected to the cold
valve marked ‘C’?
3
Is the drain hose threaded through the ‘U bend‘ (with no more than 20 mm extended) and on to
your standpipe?
4
Are the rubber inserts secured into the feet on the base of your machine and is the machine
levelled? Refer to ‘Installation instructions’, page 3.
If you have bought a PRIDE model it is a good idea to check the warm fill temperature. (Refer to
page 24).

Lid lock
Your Smart Drive™ has a lid lock, which locks
when your machine is spinning. This ensures
the lid cannot be opened during hazardous
parts of the cycle, providing added safety for
you and your family.
The LID LOCK light (above the START/PAUSE
button) comes on when the lid is locked to
tell you when you cannot open the lid. In
short it means you can open the lid while your
Smart Drive™ is filling, agitating and draining,
but not while it is spinning.
When the LID LOCK light is on, the lid is locked.
When the LID LOCK light is off, the lid is not
locked and the lid can be opened.
If the LID LOCK light is flashing the lid lock is
in process of locking or unlocking (ie while the
machine coasts down or START/PAUSE has been
pressed). During this stage the lid still cannot
be lifted.
Important!
If the lid is left open, the machine will be unable to lock and the cycle will be halted.
The machine will play a tune and the LID LOCK light will flash until the lid is closed and
START/PAUSE is pressed.
The lid lock remains unlocked for the majority of the cycle allowing you to add clothes,
dissolve detergent or to add fabric softener (if you do not want to use the Automatic Fabric
Softener Dispenser).
The chart below shows the stages when
the lid is locked.
Fill Unlocked
Agitate Unlocked
Spray Rinse Locked
Deep Rinse Unlocked
Spin Locked
Important!
Keep children away from the machine, especially when you are using hot water, as the lid can
be opened during fill and agitate.
DO NOT put anything down the slot in the top deck of your machine.
DO NOT try to disable the lid lock.

the water level. The QUICK WASH option shortens the
agitation time for each progress light (EXCELLENCE
model only).
Clothes care safeguards
To avoid accidentally damaging your clothes there are a few options that your Smart Drive™ will
not accept. For example, you cannot select a HOT wash on HAND WASH or EASY IRON cycles

Water levels
Fig.13 Water level guide on agitator
Manual water level selection
The agitator has five levels marked on its stem that
can be used to help you select the correct water
level. Select the correct water level by using the
mark nearest to the top of the load.
The levels marked on the agitator do not correspond
exactly to the level of the water. They indicate the
level of dry clothes suitable for the water level.
Your Smart Drive™ may occasionally add water
during agitation. This is to maintain the water level
due to the release of air trapped in the garments.
The medium/high and medium/low settings are
available on EXCELLENCE model only.
Out of balance loads, tangling or splash-over can be
caused by selecting a water level that is too high.
Auto water level
EXCELLENCE model only
Your Smart Drive™ can automatically select the
appropriate water level for the load.
1
Place your clothes in the machine.
2
Select the wash cycle (select AUTO if not
automatically selected).
3
Press START/PAUSE.
During fill, the machine will pause occasionally to
sense the water level. The machine will check if
the water level is correct by using a series of two
different agitate strokes. A slow stroke to sense the
load and an agitate stroke to mix the load. (This
may take over a minute.) If it detects that the water
level is not high enough, it will fill with more water
and check the level.
When washing an unusual load, eg large bulky
garments or pillows, we recommend you manually
select the water level and select the HAND WASH
cycle (EXCELLENCE model) or the DELICATE cycle
(PRIDE model).
Manually select the water level if there is already
water in the bowl.
Note: if you feel the AUTO water level does not fill to the correct level, you can adjust the level
the machine selects (refer to ‘Changing pre-set options’, pages 22 and 25).
Fig.14 Selecting AUTO water level

Wash options – saving water and time
Eco
EXCELLENCE and PRIDE model
Press the ECO option in order to save water. The ECO option
uses an Eco Spray rinse which has been specially designed
to use at least 25% less water than a traditional rinse. Use
this option when you want to use less detergent and less
water. However, If you have low water pressure or sensitive
skin it is better to use a traditional rinse.
The ECO option has not been designed to be used with
fabric softener as it does not have a second deep rinse to
dispense the softener correctly. Fabric softener should not
be used if this option is selected.
Note: the ECO option is only available on the REGULAR and
HEAVY DUTY cycles. If you try to select these options on the
HAND WASH, ALLERGY or EASY IRON cycles (EXCELLENCE
model), or the WOOL or DELICATE cycles (PRIDE model),
your Smart Drive™ will skip over the option. ECO will take
slightly longer than a normal spray and deep rinse.
There are some wash loads that may not suit being
washed using the ECO option. For instance, loads that have
a lot of sand or sawdust in them or garments where the
colour still runs from them.
Quick wash
EXCELLENCE model only
Our EXCELLENCE model provides an excellent opportunity
to save on water and time. Use the QUICK WASH option
when you want to save time and reduce the amount of
water used during the REGULAR, HEAVY DUTY, HAND WASH
or EASY IRON wash cycles.
The QUICK WASH option has not been designed to be used
with fabric softener as it does not have a second deep rinse
to dispense the softener correctly. Fabric softener should
not be used if this option is selected.

Wash options
Soak
EXCELLENCE model only
Use the SOAK option to soak clothes at the end of the wash
phase or when you wish to re-use the wash water.
When you select SOAK your Smart Drive™ will soak for a period
of 2 hours before completing RINSE and SPIN. During SOAK
your Smart Drive™ will agitate for a few seconds every minute.
Nappy sanitisers/bleach
Nappy sanitisers and bleach are very corrosive to metal surfaces.
These should not be used in your machine.
Important!
DO NOT use your Smart Drive™ to soak items in bleach or sanitiser, or tip the contents of the
nappy bucket into your machine. The chemicals in these products can damage your washer.
Rinse and wring items out thoroughly before placing them in your machine.
Spin Hold
EXCELLENCE & PRIDE model
Use the SPIN HOLD option to:
Remove drip dry garments from a mixed load before the wash
goes into SPIN.
Minimise the clothes creasing when they are left to sit in the
bottom of the bowl at the end of the cycle.
When you have selected SPIN HOLD, your Smart Drive™ will
pause at the end of RINSE, beep and the SPIN light will flash
to tell you that it is waiting for another instruction.
Press START/PAUSE to begin the spin.
Delay Start
EXCELLENCE model only
DELAY START will delay the start of the wash cycle for 1, 3 or
9 hours.
Press DELAY START once for a delay of 1 hour. Press again for
3 hours, a third time for 9 hours (and again to return to normal).
Once you press DELAY START your Smart Drive™ will begin the
delay period, you do not have to press START/PAUSE.
Be careful if using DELAY START for non-colourfast clothes as
dyes may run if the clothes are damp.
Your Smart Drive™ will not beep at the end of the cycle if
DELAY START is selected.

Wash options
Washing bulky items
Forcing large items into the machine may result in
them being damaged during washing. Make sure
there is enough room in the machine for items to
move when being washed.
Some items float up during the wash (eg duvets/
doonas and pillows). If they sit too high they may
touch stationary parts of the machine during
agitate or spin. To minimise the chance of this
happening, bulky items should be pushed down
below the water level after fill and pushed to sit
below the medium high water level mark on the
agitator before spinning. Select a SLOW spin.
Important!
To prevent an out of balance load or splash-over we recommend washing these items on the
HAND WASH cycle (EXCELLENCE model) or the DELICATE cycle (PRIDE model).
If you wish to re-spin the load at a faster speed make sure the load is sitting below the
medium-high mark before spinning.
Washing woollens
Many woollen items carry a MACHINE WASHABLE care
claim. The fibres of these woollens have been treated
to prevent felting when they are machine washed.
Check the care label.
Use a wool detergent.
Use the specially designed HAND WASH cycle (EXCELLENCE model) or WOOL cycle
(PRIDE model). For your more durable woollens you may want to use the EASY IRON cycle
(EXCELLENCE model only).
Hand washed woollens may be spun in your Smart Drive™.
To dry woollens lie them flat on a towel and pat into shape. Dry out of direct sunlight.
Most handcrafted garments are not made of machine washable wool and we recommend that
you wash them by hand only.
Note: some wool underlays and sheepskin products can be washed in a washing machine but
could produce excessive amounts of lint that may cause pump blockages.
Fig.20 Bulky items should sit below the
medium high water level mark.
