HOWTHE ECOSMART WORKS
The Fisher & Paykel ecosmart's _2 in I' wash system gives you the best
of both worlds. Using a combination of front !oader and top loader wash
systems,the e¢osmart gives exceptional wash results While using up to
50% less hot water*, and, at the same time, taking better care of your
clothes than a conventional top loading washer.
Phase I - FRONT LOADERTYPEWASH
The ecosmart fills the bowl, at the selected
temperature,with just enoughwater so that the
clothes are 100%saturated•
This smallamountof sudsywater is circulated through
the clothes, up the specially designed portal and back
onto the clothes with a waterfall effect.
The chemicalactionprovided by a small amount of
water,combined with detergent, rapidly targets soil
and stains at fiber level, boosting soil removal and
accelerating the wash process.
m
*CEE, e_ember 1999
Phase 2 -TOP LOADERTYPEWASH
After 3 minutes,your ecosmart will fill with just
enough cooler water to suspendthe soil in solution.
Agitation will then begin, moving soil awayfrom the
clothes. Becauseof its head-start, the wash requires
lessagitation than a conventional top loader wash.

WASHING BULKY
ITEMS

WASHING WOOLENS
COLD WATER
WASHING
Makesurethere isenough room inthe machinefor
itemsto movewhenbeingwashed.Forcinglargeitems
intothe machinemay result in them beingdamaged
during washing.
Some items floatup during the wash (egcomforters
and pillows). If they sit too high they may touch
stationary parts of the machineduring agitate or spin.
To minimize the chanceof this happening,bulky items
should be pushed down below the water level
after fill and pushed to sit below the medium
high water level mark on the agitator before
spinning.Select a slow spin.
To prevent an out of balance load we
recommend washing these items on the
Delicate cycle. If youwishto re-spin the loadat a
faster speed make sure the load is sitting below the
medium highmark before spinning.
The Wool cycle has been designed for products
carrying a MACHINEWASHABLE care claim.The
fibers of these woolens havebeen treated to prevent
felting when they are machine washed. Most
handknitted garments are not made of machine
washablewool and we recommend that you hand
washthem.
• Check the care label.
• Use a wool detergent
• Use theWOOL cycle.
• Hand washed woolens may be spun inyour
ecosmart.
• To dry woolens lay them flat on a towel and pat
into shape,Dr y out of direct sunlight.
• Some wool underlays and sheepskin products can
be washed in a washing machine but may produce
excessive amounts of lint that maycause pump
blockages.
If you alwaysuse cold water, we recommend that a
warm permanent press wash be used at regular
intervals, egevery 5th wash.

Powdered Bleach:
Pour half the recommended dose of powdered
bleach into the agitator with your detergent.
The fabric softener goes into the dispenser on the
top of the agitator.The ring on the dispensercup isa
guide for the amount of fabric softener to add for a
full load. Smaller loads require lessfabric softener.
Softener Rinse
If you wish to use fabric softener when using the
Regular or Heavy Duty cycles you must select the
SOFTENER RINSE option. This changes the
rinse option to include a deep rinse so the fabric
softener will be dispensed correctly.
Scrud is the name given to the wax7 build-up that can
occur within any washer when fabric softener comes
into contact with detergent.This build-up is not
brought about by a fault in the machine.If scrud is
allowed to build-up in the machine it can result in stains
on your clothes or an unpleasantsmell in your washer.
If you wish to use fabric softener we recommend:
- Using fabric softener sparingly.
-When filling the dispenser,do not splash or overfill.
- Clean the dispenser as soon as the cycle isfinished.
- Clean your machine regularly (refer page 18).
- Cold water washing increasesthe chance of the
build-up occurring.We recommend that a warm
permanent press wash be used at regular intervals,
eg every 5th washshould be warm.
- Fabric softener of a thinner consistency is less likely
to leave residue on the dispenser and contribute
to a build-up.

_k WATER HEATER SAFETY:
Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not
been used for two weeks or more.
HYDROGEN GAS CAN BE EXPLOSIVE UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES.
If the hot water has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility of
damage or injury by turning on all hot water faucets and allowing them to run for several
minutes before using any electrical appliance which is connected to the hot water
system. This will allow any hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not
smoke or use an open flame or appliance during this process.

Safety Precautions:
• Read all instructions before using the appliance.
• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this USE & CARE book.
• This washer must be properly installed and located in accordance with the
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS before it is used. If you dld not receive an
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION sheet with your washer, you can obtain one by calling,
in USA toll-free, 888 9FNP USA (888 936 7872), in Canada Direct, 1 877 744 7400.
• Properly ground to conform with all governing codes and ordinances.
Follow details in INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
• Do not install or store washer where it will be exposed to temperatures below freezing
or exposed to the weather.
• Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized power supply circuit to avoid
electrical overload.
• Connect to adequate plumbing and drain facilities as described in the INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS.
• Turn off water faucets when the washer is not in use to relieve pressure on hoses and
valves and to minimize leakages if a hose or valve should break or rupture.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless
specifically recommended in this USE & CARE book or in published user repair
instructions that you understand, and have skills to carry out.
• When disconnecting the appliance pull by the plug rather than the cord or junction of
cord to avoid damage to the cord or junction of the cord plug.
• Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over or
otherwise subject to damage or stress.
• Keep all laundry aids (such as detergents, bleach, fabric softener, etc.) out of the reach
of children, preferably in a locked cabinet. Observe all warnings on container labels
to avoid personal injury.
• Do not tamper with the controls.
• Keep the area around/underneath your appliance free from the accumulation of
combustible materials, such as lint, paper, rags, chemicals, etc.
• Keep the floor around your appliance clean and dry to reduce the possibility of
slipping.
25

Mixing can produce a toxic gas which may cause death.
• Never climb on or stand on the washer top or lid.
• Do not wash fibreglass articles in your washer. Skin irritation could result from the
remaining particles that may be picked up by clothing during subsequent washer use.
• To minimize the possibility of electric shock, unplug this appliance from the power
supply or disconnect the washer at the household distribution panel by removing the
fuse or switching off the circuit breaker before attempting any maintenance or
cleaning.
• NOTE: Pressing POWER button does NOT disconnect the appliance from the power
supply, even though the lights are out.
