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 21).
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
avoidchildren 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.

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.
Manoeuvre 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.
Connecting to the water supply
Locking the feet
Inlet hoses
IMPORTANT!
New hose sets provided with the washer should be
used 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. Connect the elbow ends to
1
Straight
(tap) end
Inlet hose ends
the corresponding machine inlet valves. The hot valve is coloured orange to make this
easier. Tighten 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.
Turn the taps on and check for leaks. Check for leaks again after 24hours.
2
IMPORTANT!
The hot water temperature should not exceed 65°C and the cold water temperature
not exceed35°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 6litres/minute
Cold supply only:
If you only have a cold water supply, the inlet valve cap (blanking cap) which 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
Drain hose placement 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 become
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.
