OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.
INTRODUCING YOUR SMART DRIVE
Your Smart Drive has a unique control and drive system developed by Fisher & Paykel for use in washers. The Smart Drive system includes a sophisticated package of electronics in the console of the washer which controls a variable speed motor coupled directly to the agitator. This allows much greater versatility than conventional mechanical machines that use clutches, brakes and gearboxes to control one or two speed motors. Using this system, the wash cycle can be controlled in such a way that soil removal is maximized with minimum wear and tear to clothes.
AGITATOR ACTIONS
Your Smart Drive has an almost infinite number of agitator actions, which will be automatically customized for each individual load. This ensures a consistently high wash performance.
HANDWASHING
The unique Delicate and Wool cycles allow you to wash articles that you would have previously only washed by hand. The wool cycle is for machine washable woollens only.
WATER TEMPERATURE
Your Smart Drive has a range of five electronically controlled water temperatures. Electronic control protects your clothes and ensures optimum wash performance by mixing the hot and cold water prior to entering the wash basket.
WATER LEVELS
On Auto Water Level your Smart Drive will automatically select the optimum water level for each wash load. Unlike conventional mechanical washers, your Smart Drive allows the lowest water level to start at the base of the agitator. The combination of Auto Water Level and the range of five water levels adds not only convenience but greater water savings with smaller wash loads.
SPIN SPEEDS
The same electronic flexibility that provides a variety of agitator actions also provides a range of spin speeds (300, 700 and 1000 rpm) to cater for all fabrics. The top spin speed of 1000 rpm will leave your clothes noticeably drier.
CONTROLS
The electronic controls are designed for maximum ease of use. Software prevents you from programming your machine in a way that will damage your clothes. The Favorite cycle allows you to select the cycle and wash options at the touch of a button.
In summary, your Smart Drive offers better wash performance over a greater range of fabric types, water levels and clothes loads whilst increasing the machine’s ease of operation.
