Thank you for buying a Fisher & Paykel washing machine. We are very 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 energy efficient. Thousands of tonnes of washing and 75 years of laundry experience have been programmed into your washing machine to help give you the best possible performance.
We hope you enjoy your new washing machine. We have certainly enjoyed designing it.
Before you do your first wash
You owe it to yourself and your washer to have it installed correctly by a technician from a Fisher & Paykel Authorised Repairer.
Before you start, it is a good idea to go through the following checklist:
1Has the basepacker been removed?
2Is the hot hose connected to the hot valve marked ‘H’? Is the cold hose connected to the cold valve marked ‘C’?
3Is the drain hose threaded through the ‘U bend‘ (with no more than 20 mm extended) and on to your standpipe?
4Are the rubber inserts secured into the feet on the base of your machine and is the machine levelled? Refer to ‘Installation instructions’, page 3.
If you have bought a QuickSmart™ model it is a good idea to check the warm fill temperature (refer to page 24).
