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.

3Remove all packaging and accessories from inside the drum.
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
1Use a spanner or socket to unscrew and remove all 4 transit bolts at the back of the 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. |
|
1 |
Before positioning the machine in its final position, check |
|
|
that the machine is level, front to back and side to side. |
|
2 |
Adjust the product into its final position (we suggest a |
|
|
minimum clearance of 20mm each side). |
|
3 |
Use a spirit level to check that the machine is correctly |
|
|
level. If needed, pull the machine out. Loosen the lock nut |
|
|
using the spanner provided and wind the feet up or down |
Locking the feet |
|
to correctly level the machine. |
|
4Using the spanner provided, tighten the lock nuts against the base of the machine to lock the feet in position.
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.
Straight |
Elbow |
(tap) end |
(machine) end |
Inlet hose ends
1Connect the straight ends of the inlet hoses to the taps.
2Connect the elbow ends to the corresponding machine inlet valves. The hot valve is coloured orange to make this easier.
3Tighten the inlet hose ends by hand until the hose seal just makes contact with the tap sealing face. Continue to tighten a further half-turn. Make sure there are no kinks in the hoses.
4Turn the taps on and check for leaks. Check for leaks again after 24 hours.
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
1To guide the drain hose over the tub or standpipe, the hose guide must be fitted to the drain hose. The height of the standpipe or tub should be between 800 – 1200mm.
2Secure the hose guide so it cannot be 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
1Guide the drain hose through the hose guide.
2Secure the hose guide to the back wall of cupboard using a screw. The height of the drain hose should be between 500 – 800mm from ground level.
3Attach the drain hose to the spigot and secure using a hose clamp to ensure the blanking insert is cleared from the spigot.
4Check 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.
