Water supply

Your cold water should not exceed 35°C and your
hot water should not exceed 65°C. Temperatures
above these may cause the machine to fault or
cause damage to the machine.
If you have an uncontrolled water heating source
(eg a wet back or solar heating system) you should
fit a Safe Valve. This will ensure the hot water
temperature remains within safe limits.
Inlet water static pressure: Max.1 MPa (150 psi) Min. 34 KPa (5 psi)
Inlet water flow rate at tap: Min. 6 litres / min
Inlet hoses
Important!
New hose sets provided with the washer shall be used to connect the washer to the water mains.
Old hose sets should not be re-used.
Connect the straight ends of the inlet hoses to the taps (there are
1
washers fitted in both ends). Connect the red connector hose to Hot,
and the white connector hose to Cold.
Connect the elbow ends of the inlet hoses to the corresponding
2
machine inlet valves. Inlet valves are marked on the back of the
machine. Ensure the Hot valve is connected to the hot tap and the
Cold valve is connected to the cold tap.
H = Hot
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 Dealer or Authorised Repairer, 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.
Inlet hose replacement
We recommend replacing the inlet hoses every 5 years. Hoses should be checked from time to
time and replaced if any wear, cuts, bulges, kinks or leaks are found.
Draining
Regularly check that your standpipe or tub is free from lint or other obstructions, which may
affect how your machine works or may cause flooding.
In multi-storey apartments or any upper floor, the machine should be installed on a floor
equipped with a drain.
Draining must comply with local by-laws.
