Fisher & Paykel Understanding Water Levels and Auto Selection in Washers

Water Levels

Manual Water Level Selection

The agitator has 5 levels marked on its stem that can be used to help you select the correct water level. Select the correct water level by using the mark nearest to the top of the load.

The levels marked on the agitator do not correspond exactly to the level of the water. They indicate the level of dry clothes suitable for the water level.

Your Smart Drive® may occasionally add water during agitation. This is to maintain the water level due to the release of air trapped in the garments.

The medium/high and medium/low settings are available on the Excellence models only.

Out of balance loads, tangling or splash-over can be caused by selecting a water level that is too high.

Auto Water Level

Model Only

Your Smart Drive® can automatically select the appropriate water level for the load.

1Place your clothes in the machine.

2Select the wash cycle (Select AUTO if not automatically

selected).

3 Press START/PAUSE.

During fill, the machine will pause occasionally to sense the water level. The machine will check if the water level is correct by using a series of 2 different agitate strokes. A slow stroke to sense the load and an agitate stroke to mix the load. (This may take over a minute.) If it detects that the water level is not high enough, it will fill with more water and check the level.

When washing an unusual load, eg large bulky garments or pillows, we recommend you manually select the water level and select the Delicate cycle.

Manually select the water level if there is already water in the bowl.

Note:

If you feel the Auto Water Level does not fill to the correct level, you can adjust the level the machine selects. (Refer to Changing Pre-set Options, pages 24 and 27).
