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 your clothes washer, follow basic 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
washerby someone responsible for their safety.



The washer should only be used for washing and rinsing of textiles where this is
indicated on the care label.



The door will be locked from the start of the cycle until the cycle is complete
for safety reasons. It is possible to open the door during the cycle under certain
conditions (refer to page14).



Never force the door open.



Keep children away from the washer while it is in operation.



Supervise children to ensure they do not play with the washer or climb inside the
drum.



Do not touch the glass part of the door during a cycle as the door can become hot.



Do not open the detergent dispenser during the cycle as hot water may come out
ofit.



The only user-removable parts of the washer are the inlet hose(s), detergent dispenser
and the pump filter. No other parts are designed to be removed by anyone other than
a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician.



When disposing of the washer, it is recommended that the door is removed
toavoidchildren getting trapped inside, and that the electrical cable is cut off
closeto the washer.



Do not add petrol, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances
to the wash water. These substances give off vapours that could ignite or explode.



Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in,
or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive
substances as they give off vapours that could ignite or explode.

Unpacking

To ensure the best performance from your new washer please follow the instructionsbelow.

Removing the packaging

Remove the outer packaging (including the expanded polystyrene packer and plastic

1

wrapping). All packaging must be removed prior to use. Ensure these materials are
kept out of reach of children. Note: a small amount of water may be seen inside the
packaging and inside the washer. This is the result of factory testing and is normal.

Tilt the machine backwards and ‘walk’ it off the base one foot at a time. Not doing so

2

may cause damage to your floor and washer.

Remove all packaging and accessories from inside the drum.

3

Removing transit safety bolts

The clothes washer is fitted with transit safety bolts at the rear to avoid possible damage
to the interior during transportation.

IMPORTANT!

The transit bolts MUST be removed prior to operation of the machine.
Failure to remove these will result in damage to the machine.

Note: the transit bolts MUST be removed in order to use the power cord.

To remove the bolts

Use a spanner or socket to unscrew and remove all 4 transit bolts at the back of the

1

washer(A).

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Location

IMPORTANT!

Install the machine on a solid and level floor surface ensuring it has at least 20mm
clearance on each side. The washer must not be installed on any soft or textured floor
coverings (eg carpet, rugs).

Note: This machine must not be installed and operated on a plinth.

Levelling 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.

Before positioning the machine in its final position, check

1

that the machine is level, front to back and side to side.

Adjust the product into its final position (we suggest a

2

minimum clearance of 20mm each side).

Use a spirit level to check that the machine is correctly

3

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.

Using the spanner provided, tighten the lock nuts against

4

the base of the machine to lock the feet in position.

Locking the feet

Connecting to the water supply

Inlet hoses

IMPORTANT!



Use new hose sets provided with the washer to connect
the washer to the water mains.



Old hose sets should not be re-used.



We recommend the inlet hoses are changed every 5 years.



WARNING: Failure to do so may result in a flood and
damage to property.

Connect the straight ends of the inlet hoses to the taps.

1

Connect the elbow ends to the corresponding machine inlet valves.

Makesurethereare no kinks in the hoses.

Turn the taps on and check for leaks. Check for leaks again after 24hours.

4

IMPORTANT!

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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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:

RMC TVA 50HF

RMC TVA 75HFS

Adjustable between 35°C – 55°C

RMC TVA 50HP

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) that came with
your washer must be connected to the hot inlet valve. The cap prevents water leaking
out of the hot valve. This appliance incorporates backflow protection complying with
IEC61770. No further backflow protection is required for connection to the water supply.

Note: Your washer has an internal heater to heat water. 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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Draining

Placing the drain hose in a stand pipe or tub

To guide the drain hose over the tub or

1

standpipe, the hose guide must be fitted to
the drain hose. The height of the standpipe or
tub should be between 800 – 1200mm.

Secure the hose guide so it cannot be

2

dislodged from the standpipe or tub.

IMPORTANT!



If the drain hose is placed on the ground or
if the standpipe or tub is less than 800mm
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

Guide the drain hose through the hose guide.

1

Secure the hose guide to the back wall of

2

cupboard using a screw. The height of the
drain hose should be between 500 – 800mm
from ground level.

Attach the drain hose to the spigot and

3

secure using a hose clamp to ensure the
blanking insert is cleared from the spigot.

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-storey 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supply.

Release the power cord (transit bolts must be removed).

2

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.

4



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.

IMPORTANT!



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.
