the result of factory testing and is normal.
2. Tilt 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.
3. Remove 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.
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:
1. Use a spanner or socket to unscrew and remove all four transit bolts at the back of the washer (A ).
2. Pull 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.
3. Cover 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.

base of the machine. The space where you install your washer needs to be at least 40mm
wider and 20mm deeper than its dimensions.=
• Electrical supply: 220 – 240V, 50Hz Sinusoidal, minimum 10A.
• Inlet water static pressure: Max. 1MPa (150psi), Min. 30kPa (4.5psi).
• Inlet water flow rate at tap: Min. 6 litres/min.
Location
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).
This machine must not be installed and operated on a plinth.
Leveling 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.
1. Before positioning the machine in its final position, check that the
machine is level, front to back and side to side.
2. Manoeuvre the product into its final position (we suggest a minimum
clearance of 20mm each side).
3. Use 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.
4. Using the spanner provided, tighten the lock nuts against the base of the
machine to lock the feet in position.

Inlet hose(s)
• 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 hose(s) are
changed every 5 years. WARNING: Failure
to do so may result in a flood and damage
to property.
Straight
(tap) end
Inlet hose ends
Elbow
(machine) end
1. Connect the straight end(s) of the inlet hose(s) to the tap(s) and the elbow end(s)
to the corresponding machine inlet valve(s). If present, the hot valve is colour coded orange to make this easier.
Tighten the inlet hose end(s) 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 hose(s).
2. Turn the tap(s) on and check for leaks. Check for leaks again after 24 hours.
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.
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:

For instantaneous gas hot water supply
Water supply requirements:
• Inlet water pressure: Maximum 1MPa (150psi), Minimum 30kPa (4.5psi)
• 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 (with the exception of WH8560J and WH7560J models). 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.
Your washer has an internal heater to heat water. If your model of washer has cold water
connection only (WH8560J and WH7560J models), or 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.
Draining
Drain hose placement in a stand pipe or tub
1. To guide the drain hose over the tub or standpipe the hose
guide must be fitted to the drain hose. The height of the
standpipe or tub should be between 800 – 1200mm.
2. Secure the hose guide so it cannot become dislodged from the
standpipe or tub.

high, the washing machine will continuously drain while being filled (siphon).
• 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.
Attaching drain hose to spigot
1. Guide drain hose through hose guide
2. Secure hose guide to back wall of cupboard using a screw. The
height of the drain hose should be between 500 – 800mm from
ground level.
3. Attach drain hose to spigot and secure using a hose clamp
ensuring the blanking insert is cleared from spigot.
4. Check for leaks.
• The drain hose should be checked from time to time and
replaced if any damage (eg wear, cuts, bulges, kinks, leaks, etc)
is found. Do not bend the drain hose sharply, as this may cause
it to split.
• In multi-story apartments or any upper floor, the machine should
be installed on a floor equipped with a drain.
• Draining must comply with local by-laws.
Electrical connection
1. This appliance must be connected to a 220V – 240V, 50Hz, sinusoidal, minimum 10A electrical supply.
2. Uncoil the power cord, remove and discard the plastic pin cover and plug into a wall socket.
3. Connect the appliance to an earthed outlet protected by a fuse of suitable capacity.
• Check the power cord for damage and make sure it is not squashed or twisted when installing the
washer.
• Always remove the power cord from a socket by the plug, not by the cord.

• 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.
• Do not touch or operate the machine with wet hands or with bare-feet.
• A damaged power cord must be replaced by a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported
service technician, in order to avoid a hazard. 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 during transport. Contact your
Fisher & Paykel dealer or Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician.
