Check the installation location.
1
Do not install the washing machine in the ●
following locations:
A wet or humid location –
A location exposed to direct sunlight –
A location subject to freezing temperatures –
An uneven or unstable location –
A slippery location, such as a tiled floor –
Keep the washing machine at least 10 cm ●
away from the wall to minimise noise.
Do not block the opening on the bottom with ●
an object, such as a carpet.
Attach the bottom cover.
2
The bottom cover (Anti-vermin cover) is designed
to prevent rats from damaging the internal parts of
the washing machine. In addition, the cover
provides safety by protecting you from the
electrical parts and the rotating parts.
Remove the bottom cover from the back of
the washing machine.
Bottom cover
Align the bottom cover with the grooves at
the bottom of the washing machine, and
insert it all the way in.
If it does not slide in easily, tilt the washing ●
machine slightly forward.
Bottom cover
Insert so that the side with the
arrow and text faces up and
the arrow points to the front.
Installation
Unless the washing machine is installed and inspected according to these installation instructions, ●
Panasonic is not liable for any accident or damage caused.
Be sure to request your dealer or a contractor to do the installation work. Care should be taken if you
●
are installing the washing machine by yourself.

Turn on the water taps to check that water ●
leaks from neither the water supply valves of
the washing machine nor the water taps.
Be sure to plumb the washing machine into ●
both hot and cold water supplies. Otherwise,
some cycles may not function correctly. (The
washing machine is not equipped with an
internal heater to heat water.)
Water-flow from the tap should be more than ●
5 L/min.
Do not use hot water above 60 °C (for hot ●
water supply) and cold water above 25 °C (for
cold water supply) to prevent a fault or
damage to the washing machine.
If you have an uncontrolled water heating ●
source (e.g., wet back, solar heating), fit a
tempering device (e.g., a safe valve). This will
ensure the hot water temperature remains
within safe limits. Contact a local plumber or
plumbing supply merchant for the most
suitable type of tempering device.
Connect the power plug.
6
Plug the power cord into a dedicated household
3-pin AC outlet rated at 10 A, 220 V to 240 V. If
you are not sure, contact a qualified electrician.

Note
To prevent water leaks: ●
Use the supplied brand new water supply –
hoses.
Do not connect the water supply hoses for –
hot/cold water to the wrong water taps.
Tighten the nuts firmly. –
Do not forcibly bend the water supply hoses. –
(This will cause the hoses to crack.)
The installation shall be in accordance with the
●
requirements of AS/NZS 3500.1.
Cautions for use
Do not add too much detergent. (This will ●
cause poor rinsing or cause the foam to
overflow and wet the floor.)
Do not load too many clothes. Limit the load
●
size to a level below the balance ring. (Not
doing so will tear clothes and damage the
resin parts of the washing machine.)
Do not place objects on the washing ●
machine during use. (This will cause the
objects to shake and fall. Malfunction may
result.)
Do not place a TV, radio, or other electronic ●
devices near the washing machine. (This will
cause images to appear distorted and create
noise.)
Do not bring magnets or any magnetic ●
objects over the washing machine.
(Malfunction may result.)
If detergent or softener comes in contact with ●
the washing machine (particularly the lid or
the control panel), wipe it off immediately
with a towel wrung out of water or similar
cloth. (Not doing so will cause the printed
information to come off, damage the resin
parts, corrode the metal parts or result in
malfunction.)
Exercise extra care when using concentrated
liquid detergent. If the resin parts come in
contact with the detergent, it may cause
cracks on the parts.
Do not directly cover the washing machine ●
with a cover made of vinyl chloride. (This
may damage the surface of the washing
machine.)
Do not spray pesticides, hair products, ●
deodorants or other such liquids. (This may
cause the washing machine to malfunction
or damage it.)

ECONAVI
During the “Cotton” cycle, the washing machine optimises the water level and washing time, based
on the amount of clothes and water temperature.
Description of lamp display
Flashing: The lamp flashes from the time water starts filling the tub until the water temperature
detection is complete. The measurement starts as soon as the tub is filled. The time required to
measure the temperature is 5 minutes.
On: ECONAVI is activated. If the water temperature measured meets the temperature requirement,
the lamp lights up and stays lit up until the end of the cycle.
Off: ECONAVI is not activated. If conditions do not meet the requirements, ECONAVI does not
start.
Note
ECONAVI might not operate correctly under the following conditions: ●
The tub was filled with water before you started running the washing machine. –
The wash/rinse/spin settings are customised. –
Even when ECONAVI is not activated, the washing machine runs with the same sequence of stages.

Air Dry
The “Air Dry” cycle removes the moisture remaining in clothes using a current of air created by the
rotation of the tub. Air is drawn in through the air inlets on the lid. You can reduce the drying time with this
cycle. (This drying does not heat the air.)
This cycle is designed specifically for synthetic clothes (up to 3 kg).
Before you begin
After the spin cycle, untangle the clothes in the tub, distribute them evenly, close the lid, and turn on the ●
washing machine.
Press 1 repeatedly to select the drying time (hours).
The time is shown in the display area. ●
The time changes each time you press the button. ●
Press 2 .
The “Air Dry” cycle is complete when the washing machine beeps. ●
Note
Since the “Air Dry” cycle is timer-controlled, it terminates regardless of the dryness. If the clothes are ●
still wet, run an additional “Air Dry” cycle.
The laundry may not be dry enough depending on the size of the load, type of clothes, temperature, ●
humidity and installation conditions of the washing machine. (As no heater is used for this function,
some users may feel the laundry is cold and not dry.)

To dissolve soap powder:

Dissolve the soap powder by
adding it little by little while
churning the water.
Liquid bleachLiquid bleach
Note
Before adding detergent, bleach, softener or soap ●
power, read its directions and precautions carefully.
We recommend using low-sudsing detergent. ●
Powdered detergent:
Wipe dry the powdered detergent inlet if it is wet. ●
(Failure to do so may cause detergent to
remain.)
Softener:
Keep the level of the softener ●
below the “MAX” indication to
prevent the softener from
flowing immediately.
Softener is automatically ●
added to the tub at the end of the rinse cycle.
Since softener solidifies easily, do not leave it in ●
the softener inlet for a long period of time
(12 hours or longer).
Powder bleach:
When using the Timer Delay function, wrap ●
bleach around a white article before adding it to
the tub to prevent other clothes from discolouring.
Soap powder:
In order to keep the soap powder from ●
hardening or sticking, mix it well and dissolve it.
Be certain to rinse thoroughly. (Failure to do so
●
may cause clothes to become tinged with yellow
or the smell of soap.)
Do not add too much, or add directly into low ●
temperature water. (Doing so may cause soap to
not completely dissolve, or soap scum to adhere
inside the hose or the tub. The soap scum may
float and stain clothes.)
