WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard
Read and follow the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS outlined in this User Guide before operating this appliance, pages 11 – 13.
Failure to do so can result in death, electric shock, fire or injury to persons.
Please Note: To obtain maximum efficiency, your Ecosmart™ 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.

Failure to do so can result in death, electric shock, fire or injury to persons.
Important!
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Installation Requirements
Location
Your washer must be installed on firm flooring to minimize vibration during spin cycles. Concrete flooring is best, but wood base is sufficient providing the floor support meets FHA standards.
Your washer should not be installed on rugs or exposed to the weather.
Plumbing
Water Temperature
Your cold water should not exceed 95˚F (35˚C) or your hot water exceed 150˚F (65˚C). Temperatures above this may damage your washer.
Shut Off Valves
Both hot and cold shut-off valves (faucets) should be available in the laundry area.
Drain
Water may be drained into a standpipe or set tub. The standpipe must be 1½” (38mm) minimum interior diameter and must be open to the atmosphere.
Electrical
This appliance must be supplied with 110V – 120V, 60Hz electrical supply and connected to an individual, properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a 15 or 20 amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse.

Step 1
Remove Bottom Packer
1 Remove outer packaging.
2Tilt the machine backwards and walk the machine off the bottom packer. The plastic bottom packer can now be removed.
CAUTION!
Operating the machine when the bottom packer is in place can result in damage to the machine.
Step 2
Removing Tub Packer and Accessories
1Lift the lid and remove cardboard tub packer from the top of the washer tub.
2 Keep the bottom packer and tub packer in case they are required for future transit.
3 Remove hoses, accessories and installation pack.
The Installation Pack Contains the Following:
4 rubber inserts for the leveling feet
Tub packer
1 drain hose guide
Step 3
Drain Hose
1Carefully pull the drain hose out from the back of the washer by pulling the exposed part of the hose downwards and then out.
2The hose guide is used to guide the drain hose over the tub or standpipe. It MUST be fitted to the drain hose. To prevent siphoning the drain hose should not extend more than ¾” (20mm) from the end of the guide.
If necessary, the drain hose can be trimmed to length.
3Place the drain hose in the laundry tub or standpipe.
Note:
Pull hose through guide
¾”
(20mm)
In multi-storey apartments or any upper floor installation, the machine should be installed on a drained floor.
Check that the tub or standpipe is free from lint or other obstructions before operating the washer.
In basement installation do not exceed a standpipe height of (78”).

Installation Instructions
Step 4
Inlet Hoses
1Install hoses with the straight end (with filters) fitted to the faucets.
2Install elbow ends onto washing machine (inlet valves are marked on the back of the machine H=hot, C=cold). Ensure the hot is connected to the hot, and the cold is connected to the cold.
Note:
If there is a cold water supply only, an inlet valve cap (available from Fisher & Paykel) MUST be connected to the hot valve. The cap prevents water leaking from the hot valve. However, we recommend this product is connected to both hot and cold water.
Step 5
Leveling the Washer
1Unscrew the feet so the machine is NOT sitting on the corner cabinets, then fit the rubber leveling inserts (refer to diagram 1).
2Move the washer into its final position. We suggest a minimum clearance of 1” (25mm) on each side for ease of installation. (See diagram 2).
3Turn on water and check hose connections for leaks. Check that there are no kinks in the hoses.
4It 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.
5Use the walls and adjacent counter tops as a sight guide to check to see if washer appears level. Readjust the feet if necessary.
6Open the lid and check the washer tub to see that it sits slightly forward of centre. (See diagram 3).

About Your Ecosmart™
How Ecosmart™ Works
The Fisher & Paykel 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 Ecosmart™ gives exceptional wash results while using up to 50% less hot water*, and, at the same time, taking better care of your clothes than a conventional top load washer.
Phase 1 – Eco Active™ Wash
Front Loader Type Wash
The Ecosmart™ fills the bowl, 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 Loader 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.

About Your Ecosmart™
US
Lid Lock
Your Ecosmart™ has a lid lock. This ensures the lid cannot be opened during 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.
If the lid lock light is flashing the lid lock is in the process of locking or unlocking (i.e. while the machine coasts down or start/pause has been pressed). During this stage the lid still cannot be lifted.
If the lid is left open, the machine will be unable to lock and the cycle will be halted. The machine will beep and the lid lock light will flash until the lid is closed and the START/PAUSE button is pressed.
Do not put anything down the slot in the top deck of your machine.
Do not try to disable the lid lock.
Wash Cycles and Options
The Wash Progress Lights
The wash progress lights show all the tasks your Ecosmart™ will complete during the wash cycle. As each task is completed a light goes out, so you can tell at a glance how far the cycle has to go.
Advancing the Wash Cycle
To shorten the wash time, to rinse and spin only, or to spin only:
1 Select the wash cycle.
2 Press ADVANCE repeatedly until only the required number of lights remain on.
3 Press START/PAUSE.
Note:
The wash consists of two parts. The first amber light is essential for all washes except Permanent Press, therefore, you can only advance through the green lights, not the amber.

Softener Rinse
We recommend the use of softener dryer sheets because liquid fabric softener has been known to cause an unpleasant build-up inside washing machines. (Refer to Scrud page 25).
Use the SOFTENER RINSE option:
If you use liquid fabric softener
If you use bleach
This option changes the rinse to include a spray and deep rinse, so that the fabric softener will be dispensed correctly, and the machine sump will be thoroughly cleaned of bleach.
Some wash loads are better washed using a cycle with a deep rinse. For instance, garments that have a lot of sand or sawdust in them, or garments where the color still runs. For these loads select the SOFTENER RINSE option, as this will change the rinse to include a deep rinse.
Soak
When you select SOAK your Ecosmart™ will stop at the end of wash and soak for 2 hours before completing the rinse and spin. During soak your washer will agitate for a few seconds every minute.
Time Saver
TIME SAVER allows you to shorten the wash cycle for lightly soiled clothes. Selecting this option reduces the wash and spin times.
Time Saver can be turned on or off at any time during the cycle.

Water Levels
Auto Water Level
Your Ecosmart™ can automatically select the appropriate water level for the load.
1 Place your clothes in the machine, and press Power.
2Select wash cycle (select Auto water level if not automatically selected)
3Press 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. (This may take over a minute). If it detects that the water level is not enough, it will fill with more water and re-check the level.
When washing an unusual load eg. large bulky garments, pillows, we recommend you manually select the water level and select the Delicate cycle.
Manually select the water level if there is already water in the machine.
For a large bulky load, or large single item (eg. comforter) push the load down after the first fill.
Manual Water Level Selection
The agitator has five levels marked on its stem that can be used to help you select the correct water levels. Select the correct water level by using the mark nearest to the top of the clothes.
The levels marked on the agitator do not correspond exactly to the level of water. They indicate the level of dry clothes suitable for the water level.
Your Ecosmart™ may occasionally add water during agitation. This is to maintain the water level due to the release of air trapped in the garments.
Out of balance loads, tangling or splashover can be caused by selecting a water level that is too high.

Spin Hold
Use the SPIN HOLD option to:
Remove drip dry garments from a mixed load before the wash goes into spin.
Minimize wrinkling that is caused when clothes are left sitting in the machine at the end of the cycle.
When SPIN HOLD is selected, your Ecosmart™ 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
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 Ecosmart™ will begin the delay period, you do not have to press Start/Pause.
Be careful if using Delay Start for non-colorfast clothes as dyes may run if the clothes are damp.
Your Ecosmart™ will not beep at the end of the cycle if
Delay Start is selected.
Clothes Care Safeguards
To avoid accidentally damaging your clothes, there are a few options that your Ecosmart™ will not accept. For example, you cannot select a hot wash on Delicate or Wool cycles.
