WARNING!
Electric Shock Hazard 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! When using this appliance always exercise basic safety precautions including the following:

This clothes washer is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are supervised or given instructions on how to use the clothes washer by someone responsible for their safety, and they understand the hazards involved.

The clothes washer should only be used for washing and rinsing of textiles where this is indicated on the care label.

Keep children away from the clothes washer while it is in operation.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be completed by children without supervision.

The only user removable parts of the clothes washer are the inlet hoses and agitator. No other parts are designed to be removed by anyone other than a Fisher&Paykel trained and supported service technician.

The lid will be locked for stages of the cycle for safety reasons.


INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Electrical connection

This appliance must be supplied with a 220–240V, 50Hz, sinusoidal, 10Aelectrical supply.

Check the power cord for damage, making sure it is not squashed or twisted.

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 a risk of electric shock.
Draining

Regularly check that your standpipe or tub is free from lint or other obstructions, which may affect how your washer works or may cause flooding.

In multi-storey apartments or any upper floor, the washer should be installed on a floor equipped with a drain.

Draining must comply with local by-laws.
Water supply
IMPORTANT!
Your cold water should not exceed 35°C and your hot water should not exceed 65°C. Temperatures above these may cause the washer to fault or cause damage to the washer.

If you have an uncontrolled water heating source (eg a wet back or solar heating system) you should fit a tempering valve. This will ensure the hot water temperature remains within safe limits.

Contact your registered plumber to select and install the tempering valve.

Inlet water static pressure: Max.1MPa(150psi) Min.34KPa (5psi)

Inlet water flow rate at tap: Min.6litres/min
IMPORTANT!

This appliance must be installed in accordance with the installation instructions before use.

Provide accessibility to the plug or incorporate a switch in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules to allow disconnection of the appliance from the supply after installation.

Do not operate this washer if it has been damaged during transport. Contact your Fisher&Paykel dealer or Fisher&Paykel trained and supported service technician.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Inlet hoses
IMPORTANT!
WARNING: Failure to adhere to the following instructions may result in a flood and damage to property.

New hose sets provided with the washer shall be used to connect the washer to the water supply.

Old hose sets should not be used.

We recommend replacing the inlet hoses every 5years.

Hoses should be checked from time to time and replaced ifany wear, cuts, bulges, kinks or leaks are found.
1
Connect the straight ends of the inlet hoses to the taps (thereare washers fitted in
both ends). Connect the red connector hose to Hot, and the white connector hose toCold.
2
Connect the elbow ends of the inlet hoses to the corresponding washer inlet valves.
Inlet valves are marked on the back of the washer. Ensure the Hot valve is connected to the hot tap and the Cold valve is connected to the cold tap.
H = Hot C = Cold
Cold water supply only:
If you only have a cold water supply, a 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 Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician, PartNo.388491P. This appliance incorporates backflow protection complying with AS3500.1. No further backflow protection is required for connection to the water supply. Note: your washer does not have an internal heater to heat water.
Should you wish to use cold water only for all wash cycles, refer to ‘Customising the wash cycles’ on how to program your washer to remember your wash preferences.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Levelling instructions
It is IMPORTANT to level the washer to ensure good spin performance.
Note: after levelling, the corners of the washer should be clear of the floor and the washer must not rock in any direction.
Levelling your washer
1
Move the washer to its final position (we suggest a
minimum clearance of 20mm each side).
2
Adjust all four feet (wind down) so the washer is level
and does not rock.
To check if your washer is level:
1
Look down on the wash bowl and make sure it sits slightly forward of centre (see
Diagram 1).
2
Close the lid.
3
Visually check that the lid fits evenly on both sides. If it does not look like the diagram
in the middle, adjust one of the feet slightly until it matches. The diagram on the top and bottom are not correct (see Diagram 2).
To assess levelling, check lid alignment

BEFORE YOU DO YOUR FIRST WASH
You owe it to yourself and your washer to have your washer installed correctly.
Before you start, it is a good idea to go through the following checklist:
1
Has the base packer been removed? (refer to ‘Installation Instructions’ section).
2
Is the drain hose threaded through the ‘U bend’ (with no more than 20mm extended)
and hooked into your tub or standpipe? (refer to ‘Installation Instructions’ section).
3
Is the hot hose connected to the Hot valve marked ‘H’? Is the cold hose connected to
the Cold valve marked ‘C’? (refer to ‘Installation Instructions’ section).
4
Is the washer correctly levelled, feet are extended and cabinet corners are clear of the
floor? (refer to ‘Installation Instructions’ section).
If you bought a QuickSmart™ model, it is a good idea to check the warm fill temperature (refer to ‘Changing pre-set options — Wash temperatures’).
