SAFETY AND WARNINGS

WARNING!

Electric Shock Hazard

Failure to follow this advice may result in electric shock or death.

• 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.

READ AND SAVE THIS GUIDE

When using your clothes washer, follow basic precautions, including thefollowing:

General

This product has been designed for personal, family or household use. This product is not designed for any commercial use. Any commercial use will terminate this product’s manufacturer’s warranty.

A damaged power cord must be replaced by a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. Do not use the appliance until it has been repaired to avoid a 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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. Never force the door open.

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

When 90°C temperature is selected, the door glass will become hot. Do not touch the glass part of the door. Keep children away from the washer.

Do not touch or operate the machine with wet hands or with bare-feet.

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

Ensure the installation provides 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.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS

Read and follow the detergent manufacturers’ instructions carefully. Instructions on how to use the detergent will be clearly indicated on the pack. Remember to store your detergents out of the reach of children.

Do not wash an electric blanket in your washer unless the care label specifically states it is safe to do so.

Do not wash curtains in this washer, as sunlight makes them brittle and they may disintegrate during washing.

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

Installation

For guidance on how to install your product, please refer to ‘Installation guide’ contained in this document.

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 textured floor coverings (eg carpet, rugs).

This washer must not be installed or operated on a plinth.

Water supply requirements

Inlet water pressure: Max. 1MPa (145psi), Min. 30kPa (4.5psi)

Inlet water flow rate: Min. 6litres/minute

A pressure-reducing valve must be installed if pressure is higher than 1MPa.

For optimum wash performance check the supply pressure is within the recommendedrange.

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 hose(s) are changed every five years. WARNING: Failure to do so may result in a flood and damage to property.

The hot water temperature should not exceed 65°C and the cold water temperature should not exceed35°C. Temperatures above these may cause the machine to fault or cause damage to the machine.

Disposal

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.

INSTALLATION GUIDE

INSTALLATION GUIDE

Levelling the washer

It is IMPORTANT to level the washer. Having a level washer set up in its cavity will ensure best performance for spinning, minimising noise, vibrations and wear and tear on the washer.

Before positioning your washer in its final position, check that the machine is level, front to back and side to side.

Level the washer side to side: 1 Place the level on the centre front of

the washer.

2 If you need to adjust the washer’s

position, loosen the lock nut using the spanner provided and turn the feet up or down until the washer is level side to side.

To wind the feet up turn clockwise, to wind the feet down turn counter-clockwise.

Level the washer front to back: 1 Place the level on the left side, in line with

the centre of the washer.

2 Adjust the front left foot and then the

right foot until the washer is level.

There should be equal weight on both front feet.

Using the spanner provided, tighten the lock nuts against the base of the washer tolockthe feet in position.

Move and centre the washer into its final position within the cavity, using adjacent walls as a guide and allowing 20mm clearance at the back and sides of the washer.

Recheck the washer is level, front to back and side to side. Repeat the above steps if required.

INSTALLATION GUIDE

Water supply

Water supply requirements

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.

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.

Inlet water static pressure: Max.1MPa(145psi) Min.30KPa (4.5psi).

Inlet water flow rate at tap: Min.6litres/min.

Inlet hose(s)

Failure to adhere to the following guidance may result in a flood and damage to property. Only use the new hose set(s) provided with your washer.

1 Connect the straight ends of the inlet hose(s) to the

tap(s), thereare washers fitted in both ends.

2 Connect the elbow ends to the corresponding washer

inlet valves. If present, the hot valve is coloured orange to make this easier.

3 Tighten the inlet hose(s) ends by hand until the hose

seal just makes contact with the tap-sealing face. Continue to tighten a further half-turn.

4 Make sure there are no kinks in the hose(s). 5 Turn the tap(s) on and check for leaks. Check for leaks

again after 24 hours.

Cold supply only

For models WH8560F, WH8560P2, WH8060F, WH8060P2, and WH7560P, if you only have a cold water supply, you must connect the inlet valve cap (blanking cap) provided with your washer to the hot inlet valve. The cap prevents water leaking out of the hot valve. This appliance incorporates backflow protection complying with AS3500.1/IEC61770. No further backflow protection is required for connection to the water supply.

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 GUIDE

Draining

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.

Place the drain hose in a tub or standpipe

The hose guide is used to hold the drain hose over the tub or standpipe.

1 Flex the guide apart and pull the hose

20mm max.

If the drain hose is placed on the ground or if the tub or standpipe is less than 600mm high, the washing machine will continuously drain (siphon) while being filled.

Tub or standpipe height should be a minimum of 600mm.

Regularly check that your tub or standpipe is free from lint or other obstructions. This may affect operation or cause flooding.

through the guide.

2 Ensure a maximum of 20mm of hose is

left exposed at the end.

3 Secure the hose guide to prevent it

dislodging from the standpipe or tub.

DETERGENT AND SOFTENER

Detergent type

Your washer requires low-sudsing detergent to prevent oversudsing problems. Low sudsing detergent comes in powder, liquid or pod form and is labelled front loading, low suds, high efficiency or HE. Using top loader detergent in your front loader washer may lead to excessive suds formation, which will lengthen the cycle time as the washer waits for the suds to dissolve.

If using liquid detergent ensure the liquid detergent compartment is installed.

If using powder ensure the liquid detergent compartment has been removed.

Ensure the detergent drawer is completely closed before starting the cycle.

How much detergent?

Follow the instructions on the back of the detergent packet or bottle as a guide to the correct amount of detergent to use. The correct amount of detergent will vary, depending on level of soiling and size of load. Jeans and work clothes may need more detergent, while towels usually need less. The larger your load, the more detergent you may have to add.

Detergent advice

Add the detergent BEFORE starting the cycle, close the dispenser and do not open it while the cycle is running. If you find foam leaking from your washer, check you are using a low sudsing or front loader type detergent and check the quantity you are using against the detergent manufacturers recommendation. You may need to reduce the amount you are using.

Fabric softener

Add fabric softener to the middle compartment of the dispenser marked with a softener should not be used if you have selected the STEAM REFRESH or any QUICK cycle. The washer will automatically flush the fabric softener during the rinse part of the cycle.

If you wish to use fabric softener we recommend to:

Use it sparingly. Measure it carefully and do not use more than 25ml (1/2cap), some thicker varieties may need diluting.

Clean your dispenser regularly.

Clean your washer regularly using the DRUM CLEAN cycle.

Complete wash cycles at a wash temperature of 40°C or above at regular intervals (eg every fifthwash) as washing in cold water increases the chance of scrud occurring (see below).

If you fill beyond the MAX mark, the fabric softener will be dispensed into the drum prematurely and contribute to scrud.

. Fabric

Scrud

Scrud is the name of the waxy build-up that can occur within any washer when fabric softener comes in contact with detergent. This build-up is not brought about by a fault in the washer. If scrud is allowed to build up in the washer it can result in stains on clothes and an unpleasant smell in your washer. If you wash a particularly dirty load, we recommend putting the washer through a

RINSE cycle once the cycle has finished and the load has been

removed, to clean outany residue from that cycle.

WHERE TO PUT THE DETERGENT

Pods

Detergent pods are a no mess alternative to powdered or liquid detergent. They must be placed at the back of the drum prior to loading your clothes. This will ensure they are activated quickly in the wash. Do not place pods in the detergent dispenser drawer or on top of your clothes.

Pre Wash

When you select For more information refer to ‘Wash cycle options’. PRE WASH will not be available if the

ECO/ECO RINSE option has been selected.

If using DELAY START we recommend using powdered detergent for the main wash.

WASH PREPARATION

Sorting

Sort items according to colour, fabric type, and soil type. Wash fine, delicate fabrics separately from thick, heavy fabrics. Always separate coloured items from whites, especially when they are new. Colour run could be an issue if you wash items at highertemperatures. Some soils, like mud and blood are best washed in cold water. Oilysoils (eg some foods and marks on shirt collars) are best washed in warm water. The care label will advise on how the garment should be washed.

Before you load

Check pockets for items that could damage your clothes or get caught in the washer.

Close zippers, hooks and eyes, and other fastenings (ie fasten the opening of duvet/ doona covers), and remove loose bra wires. All these can damage both your washer and your clothes.

Place delicate items, such as lingerie, in a mesh laundry bag before placing in the washer.

Pre-treat any stains, taking care not to spray pre-treaters on your washer as they can cause damage to the plastic surfaces.

Your washer will be more efficient when washing larger loads, so try to collect enough items to loosely fill the drum when the items are dry.

GETTING STARTED QUICKLY

The

SOIL LEVEL option lets you adjust the wash to suit the amount of soil in your load. For

example, select HEAVY for dirty clothes; select LIGHT for items that are only lightly soiled. This adjusts the wash time accordingly to give the load the right amount of agitation to remove the soil.

Wash Boost

Pre wash (all models)

For extra dirty loads you can perform a short wash in cool water to remove excess soil. After this the washer will drain and then fill at the selected temperature for the main wash.

Simply press the

WASH BOOST button and select PRE WASH when choosing your wash

options. PRE WASH cannot be selected after a wash cycle has been started.

If you use the

PRE WASH option, liquid or powdered detergent needs to be placed in the

Washing bulky items

The

BULKY cycle takes special care of bulky items. Bulky garments and bedding wash most

effectively when they can move freely. Ensure that there is sufficient room in the drum for the load to move during the wash.

When washing a single bulky item add a large beach towel to the wash, to ensure the load is balanced for an effective spin.

Washing woollens

Many woollen items carry a machine washable care claim. The fibres of these woollens have been treated to prevent felting when they are machine washed.

Check the care label.

Use a wool detergent.

Use the specially designed WOOL cycle.

To dry woollens lie them flat on a towel and pat into shape. Dry out of direct sunlight.

Most handcrafted garments are not made of machine washable wool and we recommend that you wash them by hand only. Hand washed woollens may be spun in your washer (select SPIN SPEED, 500).

Washing underlays and sheepskins is not recommended because they could produce excessive amounts of lint that may cause pump blockages.

Cleaning the inside of your washer

It is important that you regularly clean the inside of your washer using the cycle. After 100cycles icon will flash every time you turn your washer on to remind you to do this. If your washer starts to smell this is a sign that you should complete a

DRUM CLEAN cycle. We recommend that you do not have any items in the washer when

you run this cycle.

Add the washing machine cleaner

directly into the main wash detergent compartment of the dispenser drawer. Follow manufacturers’ instructions.

DRUM CLEAN

Press the DRUM CLEAN cycle.

Press

to turn your washer on and select

to start the cycle.

CARING FOR YOUR WASHER

Aside from the detergent dispenser, water hose(s), and the pump filter, no other parts are designed to be removed from the washer for cleaning. Do not attempt to remove any other part of the washer.

Cleaning the drum and the door

Use a soft damp cloth to wipe the door, cleaning any water marks or residue off it.

Wipe the rubber seal around the door. Remove any items or lint accumulating in the bottom of the seal catchment and wipe out any water accumulated here. If this is not cleaned out, unpleasant odours will develop.

If the drum has any residual dirt or lint stuck to it, remove this and wipe the drum clean. Do not leave any metal objects in the drum as these may rust and cause staining.

WH8560F and WH8060F models also have a self cleaning door flush that directs a portion of the rinse water over the door during various stages of the cycle to help to clean hair and insolubles from the inside of the door and surrounding parts. We still recommend that you manually clean it with a soft cloth periodically as per the instructions above.

Cleaning the hose(s)

Each hose has a filter in it, preventing any solid contaminants in the water entering your washing machine. Occasionally you should disconnect the water inlet hose(s) where they connect to the tap(s), check these for any build up of dirt and wash this out.

Detergent advice

If unpleasant odours are noticeable from your washer, it is possible that not enough detergent is being used for the soil level of your loads. Run a DRUM CLEAN cycle and either buy better quality detergent or use a higher dose. Different detergents have different cleaning chemicals. Consider alternating detergents to help remove odour.

Add the detergent BEFORE starting the cycle, close the dispenser and do not open it while the cycle is running.

Leave the door to your washer open when it is not in use to allow the washer to dry out, otherwise it will develop unpleasant odours. When leaving the door open like this, it is extremely important that children and pets are kept away from the washer so they cannot be accidentally trapped inside it.

Cleaning the pump filter

CARING FOR YOUR WASHER

Turn the power off and unplug the washer.

Use a coin to open the filter cover. Place the edge of the coin into the slot and tilt upwards whilst levering the cover open.

Unhook the pump outlet hose and pull it out (about 150mm). Remove the plug and allow any water (approximately 250ml) to drain into a shallow dish.

After the draining process is complete, replace the plug intothe hose and refit the hose back into the housing.

Remove the filter by turning anti-clockwise. Clean and rinseunder a tap. Check the pump filter cavity for any further obstruction.

Replace the filter by turning clockwise until the turning handle stops in the vertical position, and cannot be turned further.

CARING FOR YOUR WASHER

Products that might damage your washer

Concentrated bleaches, laundry pre-soakers/sanitisers, stain removers and hydrocarbon solvents (eg petrol and paint thinners) can cause damage to the surfaces eg control panel, and components of your washer.

Be careful when washing garments stained with solvents as they are flammable. DO NOT put them in your dryer.

Use of dyes in your washer may cause staining of the plastic components. The dye will not damage the washer but we suggest you thoroughly clean your washer afterwards. We do not recommend the use of dye strippers in your washer.

Nappy sanitisers and bleach are very corrosive to metal surfaces. DO NOT tip the contents of a nappy bucket into your washer. Rinse and wring items out thoroughly before placing them in the washer.

Moving your washer

Make sure any water in the washer is drained out. This can be done by cleaning out the pump filter, refer to ‘Cleaning the pump filter’.

If you have the transit rods and you need to move your washer, replace them before moving. This will protect the internal components of your washing machine from damage.

To replace the transit bolts, pull out the white plastic covers in the back of the washer. Refer to ‘Installation guide’. Push the transit bolt rubber grommets and plastic spacers into the hole and tighten with the spanner provided with the product.

Saving water, energy and the environment

Water-efficient washing machines will save you money, but it is also worth thinking about energy use, recycling water and the environment. Some options to consider include the following:

Turn the washer off at the wall when not in use.

Turn off the taps when not in use.

Select cooler wash temperatures.

Wash full loads rather than several smaller loads.

Use the ECO wash and ECO RINSE option/functions (where available).

Follow instructions on the detergent packet or bottle – do not overdose.

Use concentrated detergent – it costs less per wash.

Consider re-using the washing machines grey water on the garden or for flushing your toilet – more information can be found on government websites promoting energy and water saving.

BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE

User warnings

Your washer is capable of self diagnosis and may sound a series of beeps and display anotification or warning to inform you when there is aproblem. In most cases you will be able to address the problem the washer is alerting you to. Check this chart before you call for service.
