• 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 lid will be locked when Start/Pause is pressed at the start of the cycle for safety reasons. To unlock the lid and open it during the cycle (not recommended), press Start/ Pause. Never force the lid open.
• Do not touch or operate the machine with wet hands or with bare feet.
• 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.
• Read and follow the detergent manufacturer’s 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. *Capacity refers to the maximum dry weight of items the washer can wash at any one time.
• Do not overload your washing machine beyond its rated capacity.
• 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), the dispenser funnels (tops), and the lint filters. No other parts are designed to be removed by anyone other than a Fisher & Paykel-trained and supported service technician.

UNPACKING

Unpacking

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

Your washer is heavy; we recommend two people to move and install it. it

1. Remove the outer packaging.
2. Using two people, lift the washer up and away from the base packer. Hold the base packer down while lifting the washer. Move the base packer to the side and place the machine gently on the floor.
3. Lift the lid and remove the drum packer from the drum.
4. Remove the hoses and accessories.
5. Keep the base packer and drum packer in case they are required for future transit.

Ensure that the base packer has been removed before operating your machine.

Installing the bottom plate

The bottom plate is installed to reduce noise from the washing machine during use.

1. Tilt the machine backwards against a supported wall.
2. Place the plate onto the bottom of the machine.
3. Clip and screw the bottom plate to the washer.
4. Once the screw is tight and the bottom plate is secure, return the washer to its standing position.

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. Co; tact 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 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

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 from 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.

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.

Installing the Drain hose

1. Remove the cap of the drain hose outlet. Note: A small amount of water may come out when the cap is removed. This is normal, as there may be some water left in the pump as the machine is tested during manufacture.
2. Connect the drain hose to the connection point on the lower right side of the cabinet rear, and fasten with the hose clamp (provided).

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 through the guide.
2. Ensure a maximum of 20mm of the hose is left exposed at the end.
3. Secure the hose guide to prevent it from dislodging from the standpipe or tub.
4. Do not fit the hose to a drain spigot. Drainage must not be airtight to prevent siphoning.

If the drain hose is placed on the ground or if the tub or standpipe is less than 900mm high, the washer will continuously drain (siphon) while being filled. Tub or standpipe height should be a minimum of 900mm.

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

If in the future the product needs to be moved, disconnect the drain hose to prevent damage. Have a towel handy to absorb residual water, then refit the drain cap. Place the drain hose inside the drum during transportation and storage.

The pump filter cap on the lower rear of the machine is not to be removed by anyone other than a trained service technician.

LEVELLING THE WASHER

Levelling instructions

It is IMPORTANT to level the washer to ensure good spin performance.

Your washer is equipped with adjustable feet at the front. Ensure they do not move once you have levelled your washer by hand-tightening the locknuts on each of the feet. 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, allowing for the required clearances.

1. Release the rear feet:
   • Close the lid and tilt the washer forward away from the wall. Gently lower the washer down.
2. Level the washer side to side:
   • Check whether the asher rocks from side to side. Wind the front feet up or down to correct any rocking. Open the lid and check that the drum is in a central position.
3. Level the washer front to back:
   • Open the lid, check that the drum is still in a central position.
   • Wind the front left or right foot up or down to adjust. There should be equal weight on both front feet. There must be no rocking in any direction, and the bowl must be in a central position.
   • If the washer is not level, repeat the above steps.
   • Once level, hand-tighten the locknuts on the front feet.

If moving or transporting your washer in the future, ensure you tape the lid down.

COMPLETE INSTALLATION

Completing the installation

• Turn on the water and check all hose connections for leaks. Ensure there are no kinks in the hoses. Check the hose connections for leaks again after 24 hours.
• Uncoil the power cord, remove and discard the plastic pin cover, and plug it into the wall socket.
• Connect the appliance to an earthed outlet protected by a fuse of suitable capacity.
• Complete a test cycle with an empty drum.

Test cycle

Your washer must be correctly installed before use. Check the installation and operation of the washer using the following procedure:

1. Touch to activate your washer.
2. Select QUICK CYCLE.
3. Touch to start the test cycle.

If there are any problems, you must address them before proceeding with normal use. The washer will automatically turn off at the end of the cycle if there are no problems.
