Please note: To obtain maximum efficiency, your Ecosm_rt _washer has the ability to learn and
adapt to the local environment. This may take several wash cycles, therefore maximum energy
efficiency may not be achieved until a number of wash cycles have been completed.
This usually takes about 5 cycles.

recommend this product is connected to both hot and cold water.
LeveJing the washer
1 Unscrew the feet so the machine is NOT sitting on
the corner cabinets, then fit the rubber leveling
inserts (Fig,7),
2 Move the washer into its final position. We suggest
a minimum clearance of 1" (25 ram) on each side
for ease of installation (Fig.8),
s It is IMPORTANT to level the washer to ensure
proper performance during spin,
Adjust the feet by unscrewing/screwing to make
sure the washer is level and cannot rock,
4 Use the wails and adjacent counter tops as a sight
guide to check to see if washer appears level.
Readjust the feet if necessary,
5 Open the lid and check the washer basket to see
that it sits slightly forward of centre (Fig.9).

About your Ecosm rt
How Ecosmart" works
The Fisher & Payke[ Ecosmart's'2 in 1'wash system gives you the best of both worlds, Using
a combination of front loader and top loader wash systems, the A:osmart _ gives exceptional
wash results, and, at the same time taking better care of your clothes than a conventional top
load washer,
Phase 1- EcoActive" wash
Front bader type wash
The Ecosm_rt _fi[[s the bow[, at the selected temperature,
with just enough water so that the clothes are 100%
saturated.
This small amount of sudsy water is circulated through
the clothes, up the specially designed portal and back
onto the clothes in a waterfall effect
The chemical action provided by a small amount of water,
combined with detergent, rapidly targets soil and stains
at fiber level, boosting soil removal and accelerating the
wash process.
Phase 2 - Top bader type wash
After 4 minutes, your Ecosmart _will fill with just enough
cooler water to suspend the soil in solution. Agitation will
then begin, moving soil away from the clothes. Because
of its head-start, the wash requires less agitation than a
conventional top loader wash.
