SAFETY AND WARNINGS

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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Electrical connection



This appliance must be supplied with a 220–240V, 50Hz, sinusoidal, 10A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.1MPa(150psi) Min.34KPa (5psi)



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.

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.

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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Levelling instructions

It is IMPORTANT to level the washer to ensure good spin performance.

A spirit level is provided with your washer. Use this to level your washer, always placing it on a clean, flat surface. The washer is level when the bubble sits in the centre, within the two lines.

Your washer is equipped with self-locking feet at the front to ensure they do not move once you have levelled your washer. To adjust the feet, tilt the washer back and twist to move them up or down.

Note: after levelling, the corners of the washer should be clear of the floor and the washer must not rock in any direction.

Move the washer to its final position using the

top corners to manoeuvre the product into place (do not push on the centre front of the washer). We recommend a minimum clearance of 20mm each side and 40mm at the rear of the washer.

Open the lid, place the spirit level at the centre

front of the top deck forward of the lid lock slot. Level the washer from side to side by winding up or down the front feet (Fig.1).

With the lid closed, tilt the washer forward away

from the wall approximately 100mm (Fig.2), the self-adjusting feet will release. Gently lower the washer back down.

Open the lid, place the spirit level at either the

right hand or left hand side of the top deck. Level the washer from front to back using the front feet only (Fig.3), winding both feet in or out equally. Tilt the washer forward again and lower back down (Fig.2).

Re-check the washer is level. Move the spirit

level around to all positions once more, checking the washer is level in all areas. Repeat step 4 if necessary. Check the washer does not rock from side to side, front to back, or corner to corner.
