FabricSmart™ clothes washer

Intelligence working for you

The FabricSmart™ washer is born from 75 years of Fisher and Paykel laundry innovation. With

sophisticated electronics and a revolutionary direct drive motor, it cleans and cares for your

clothes as never before.

Unlike conventional machines, FabricSmart™ clothes washers use intelligence to continually

adapt the wash action and water levels to save on water and electricity use; making it kinder on

your wallet and the environment.

Intelligent electronics

Two powerful microprocessors control every aspect of the

FabricSmart™ washer, allowing it to continually monitor and

respond to each wash. This intelligence is the result of many

years of testing and fine-tuning, giving you the best possible

performance.

Energy conservation

The unique wash action means a typical load uses only the same

amount of electricity as a 100-watt light bulb left on for an hour.

Direct drive motor

Our revolutionary direct drive motor is capable of infinite wash

actions, continuously adjusting its speed to the movement of

your clothes, removing dirt while caring for the fabric, delivering

the ultimate wash.

Reliability

FabricSmart™ has no mechanical brake, pulleys or gears,

which means fewer moving parts and greater reliability.

Eco Active

™

wash system

The FabricSmart™ washing method uses a combination of front

loader and top loader washing technologies – boosting dirt and

soil removal while conserving energy.

Agitator

Flexible fins on the agitator work in conjunction with the motor

to understand your wash. Delicate fabrics will slither around

the fins, whereas heavy fabrics will move with more resistance.

Sensors in the motor measure this resistance to effectively “feel”

the load, sensing the type of fabric in the load.

The Eco (Save Water++) option

Designed to make every drop count, using up to 25% less water

than the traditional Water Saver rinse, without compromising on

wash performance.

2Installation instructions

Unpacking

To ensure the best performance from your new

FabricSmart™ washer please follow the instructions below.

Removing the packaging

Remove the outer packaging.

Tilt the machine backwards and walk it off the bottom

packer one foot at a time.

Remove the bottom packer from under the machine by

pulling it out the front.

Lift the lid and remove the bowl packer from the bowl.

Remove the hoses and accessories.

Keep the bottom packer and bowl packer in case they

are required for future transit.

Important!

Please ensure that the bottom packer has been removed before operating your machine.

Installation

Your washer must be installed on a level surface, and not on any textured floor coverings

(eg carpet, rugs) to ensure that the opening at the bottom of the machine is not obstructed.

In your clothes washer you will find:



1 hose guide.



2 inlet hoses.

Drain hose

Carefully pull the grey drain hose out from the

back of the machine by pulling the exposed

part of the hose downwards and outwards.

To guide the drain hose over the tub or

standpipe the hose guide MUST be fitted to the

drain hose.

To prevent siphoning:

The drain hose should not extend more than

20 mm from the end of the guide.

The height of the standpipe or tub should be

between 850 – 1200 mm.

The drain hose can be trimmed to length.

Place the drain hose in the tub or standpipe.

Inlet hoses

Note: new hose sets provided with the machine are to 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 washers

fitted in both ends). Connect the red connector hose to hot, and blue

connector hose to cold (if your hoses are colour-coded).

Connect the elbow ends of the inlet hoses to the corresponding machine

inlet valves.

Inlet valves are marked on the back of the machine.

H = Hot C = Cold

Minimum height of taps to clear the top of the machine is 1150 mm.

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 or kinks are identified, or leaks are found.

Levelling your machine

It is IMPORTANT to level the machine to ensure

even spin performance.

Move the machine to its final position (we suggest

a minimum clearance of 20 mm each side).

Adjust the feet (by winding down or up to suit)

so the machine is level and does not rock.

To check if your machine is level:

Look down on the wash bowl and make sure it sits slightly forward of centre (see Diagram 1).

Close the lid. Visually check that the lid fits evenly on both sides. If it does not look like the

diagram in the middle, adjust one of the feet slightly until it matches. The diagram on the top

and bottom are not correct (see Diagram 2).

Installation instructions

Water supply



For best operating conditions your hot water should be approximately 65°C. Your hot water

should not exceed 75°C or your cold water exceed 35°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) you should

have a tempering device fitted. This will ensure the hot water temperature remains within

safe limits. For the most suitable type of tempering device we recommend you contact a local

plumber or plumbing supply merchant.



Inlet water pressure: Max. 1MPa (150 psi) Min. 34Pa (5 psi)



Inlet water flow rate: Min. 3 litres/min



Minimum height of taps to clear the top of the machine is 1150 mm.

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 drained floor.



Draining must comply with local by-laws.

Clothes washer safety



This clothes washer is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,

sensory or mental capabilities, or those lacking experience and knowledge, unless they have been

given supervision or instruction about use of the washer by a person responsible for their safety.



Your FabricSmart™ can be opened while it is filling and agitating. Once agitation is complete, the

lid will be locked. Please supervise young children around the washer.



Supervise children at all times to ensure they do not play with the washer.

WARNING!

Electrical Shock Hazard

If you are using an extension cord or a portable electrical outlet device

(eg multi-socket outlet box), ensure that it is positioned so that it does not

come into contact with water or moisture.

Failure to do so may result in death or electrical shock.

Before you do your first wash

Thank you for buying a Fisher & Paykel FabricSmart™ washing machine. We are very proud of this

washer and trust it will serve you well for many years.

At Fisher & Paykel we aim to provide innovative products that are simple to use, ergonomic and

energy efficient. Thousands of tonnes of washing and 75 years of laundry experience have been

programmed into your washing machine to help give you the best possible performance.

We hope you enjoy your new washing machine, we have certainly enjoyed designing it.

Before you do your first wash

You owe it to yourself and your FabricSmart™ to have it installed correctly by a technician from a

Fisher & Paykel Authorised Repairer.

Before you start, it is a good idea to go through the following checklist:

Has the basepacker been removed?

Is the hot hose connected to the hot valve marked ‘H’?

Is the cold hose connected to the cold valve marked ‘C’?

Is the drain hose threaded through the ‘U bend‘ (with no more than 20 mm extended) and onto

your standpipe?

Are the rubber inserts secured into the feet on the base of your machine and is the machine

levelled? Refer to Installation Instructions, page 3.

Washer capacities

Machine Size Capacity (dry weight)

Large 8 kg

Medium 7 kg

Note: WA10T65F/WA85T60F models have

different capacity specifications based on

country standards. Refer to the serial plate

on back of the product.

To check what size your washer is look on

the back of the topdeck. The word “Large” or

“Medium” will be embossed.

Fig.6 FabricSmart™ washer



Place load evenly around the agitator (refer to Sorting and Loading, page 23).



Remove the fabric softener dispenser.

Detergent



Follow the instructions on the detergent package.



Use the mark on the agitator nearest to the top of the

clothes as a guide to the correct amount of detergent

to use.



Pour the detergent down the centre of the agitator stem.



Replace the fabric softener dispenser (this stops small

articles falling down the centre of the agitator). Refer to

Detergent, page 25.

Refer to pages 19 – 22 for more information about these cycles.

How Dirty?

Your FabricSmart™ washer will automatically

choose the medium soil level (three HOW DIRTY

bars). This setting has been designed for your

average, everyday load. However, some loads

may need more or less washing depending on

the amount of soil on the clothes. For example,

a load of dirty jeans will need the soil level

increased while a bath towel used only once

will only need a low soil level.

Stained

This is a special wash action that alternates washing with four short soaks to help remove stains

from your garments (eg three minutes agitation, four minutes soak, three minutes agitation, etc).

STAINED will use a medium soil level agitation.

Note: this cycle is for general stains, if you have a specific stain (ie blood, grass, fruit, wine,

chocolate or tomato) use one of the STAINS cycles (refer to pages 21 and 22).

Once you have selected the soil level all you need to do is touch to begin the wash. The

machine will automatically sense the correct water level and wash action for your load (the

default cycle is AUTO SENSING). We recommend letting the machine do the thinking for you!

However, if you wish to customise some wash options, please refer to pages 12 – 15.

Washer feedback

Your FabricSmart™ washer will display which stage of the cycle the machine is at and how many

minutes the wash cycle has to go, so you can tell at a glance when your washing will be finished.

The number of minutes to go is displayed from the beginning of the agitation wash, as the load

size and fabric type have to be determined before the cycle time can be calculated.

A series of symbols are also displayed on the screen to indicate where in the cycle the washer is

up to (refer to page 7).
