Water supply requirements:
If you have an uncontrolled water heating source (eg a wet back or solar heating
z
system) you should fit a tempering valve. This will ensure the hot water temperature
remains within safe limits. Contact your registered plumber to select and install the
tempering valve.
Your cold water should not exceed 35°C and your hot water should not exceed
z
65°C. Temperatures above these may cause the machine to fault or cause damage
to the machine.
Inlet water static pressure: Max. 1MPa (145psi) Min. 34KPa (5psi).
z
Inlet water flow rate at tap: Min. 8 litres/min.

Cold supply only:
If you only have a cold water supply, an inlet valve cap (blanking cap) MUST be connected
to the Hot inlet valve. The cap prevents water leaking out of the hot valve. The cap is
available from your Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician, Part No.
388491P. This appliance incorporates backflow protection complying with AS3500.1. No
further backflow protection is required for connection to the water supply.
Note: Your washer does not have an internal heater to heat water.
