INTRODUCTION
Welcome to your CleanSmart™ washer
Thank you for buying a Fisher & Paykel CleanSmart™ clothes washer. We are proud of
this washer and trust it will serve you well for many years.
At Fisher & Paykel we aim to provide innovative products that are simple to use,
ergonomic and kind to the environment. Thousands of tonnes of washing and over
80years of laundry experience have been programmed into your clothes washer to help
give you the best possible performance.
Your CleanSmart™ washer has been designed to wash a large load, while taking
up less space in your laundry. It has numerous wash cycles and options so you can
perform every wash task with ease and spend less time in the laundry. Your washer is
a ‘HighEfficiency’ machine utilising innovative technology to wash in less water while
taking great care of your clothes. Similarly, taking extra care in the way you use your
high efficiency washer will help ensure you make the most of its capabilities.
The revolutionary water and energy efficient wash action of your CleanSmart™ washer
means that it is no longer necessary to wash using a full bowl of water. This innovative
wash action relies on rolling the clothes through a small volume of water to achieve
optimal wash results. Please be aware that the water level for this washer is fully
automatic, meaning that there is no option to manually select your water level.
Please take the time to read these instructions carefully before you begin using your
washer. Following the advice in this user guide will ensure you get the performance you
expect from your washer and that you get the best possible wash results.
We hope you enjoy your new washer. We have certainly enjoyed designing it for you.

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

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
1
top corners to manoeuvre the product into place
(do not push on the centre front of the washer).
We recommend a minimum clearance of 20mm
each side and 40mm at the rear of the washer.
Open the lid, place the spirit level at the centre

Place your clothes directly into the wash bowl.
Don’t wrap sheets around the bowl like a snake, drop them in as loose parcels to the
side of the low profile agitator, and in layers (refer to the ‘Sorting and Loading’ section).

washer has been designed for use with Low Sudsing, ‘HE’ or ‘Front Loader’ type
detergent.

parts of the wash cycle, ensuring safety for you and your
family while it is operating.
The ‘Lid Locked’ light (above the button) is illuminated
when the lid lock is activated, letting you know at a glance
if you can open the lid or not.

Lid Lock
Note: the lid will be locked from the beginning of the ‘Bowl Clean’ cycle, through to
the end, unless is touched.
If the lid is left open, your CleanSmart™ washer will be unable to lock the lid, and the
cycle will be halted. The washer will beep to alert you and display a warning message
on the screen. If this occurs, ensure that the lid is closed and touch .

Do not try to disable the lid lock.
Ensure that children or infirmed persons are well supervised when around your
CleanSmart™ washer.
Auto drain
Unsupervised clothes washers filled with water can present a drowning hazard to
small children. In order to minimise any risk of this type of accident, your CleanSmart™
washer has been pre-programmed to know when this potential hazard is created and
drains the wash water to a safe level.
If you pause your CleanSmart™ washer at any time during the wash cycle when there
is water in the bowl, the washer will activate the auto drain function after 3 minutes.
This will drain the water in the wash bowl to an acceptable level, minimising any
potential hazard.
A warning message will be displayed on the digital display while auto drain is in
operation. The cycle can be restarted at anytime by touching .
