IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.
INTRODUCING YOUR SMART DRIVE
Your Smart Drive has a unique control and drive system developed by Fisher & Paykel for
use in washers. The Smart Drive system includes a sophisticated package of electronics in
the console of the washer which controls a variable speed motor coupled directly to the
agitator. This allows much greater versatility than conventional mechanical machines that
use clutches, brakes and gearboxes to control one or two speed motors. Using this system,
the wash cycle can be controlled in such a way that soil removal is maximized with
minimum wear and tear to clothes.
AGITATOR ACTIONS
Your Smart Drive has an almost infinite number of agitator actions, which will be
automatically customized for each individual load. This ensures a consistently high wash
performance.
HANDWASHING
The unique Delicate and Wool cycles allow you to wash articles that you would have
previously only washed by hand. The wool cycle is for machine washable woollens only.
WATER TEMPERATURE
Your Smart Drive has a range of five electronically controlled water temperatures. Electronic
control protects your clothes and ensures optimum wash performance by mixing the hot
and cold water prior to entering the wash basket.
WATER LEVELS
On Auto Water Level your Smart Drive will automatically select the optimum water level
for each wash load. Unlike conventional mechanical washers, your Smart Drive allows the
lowest water level to start at the base of the agitator. The combination of Auto Water Level
and the range of five water levels adds not only convenience but greater water savings with
smaller wash loads.
SPIN SPEEDS
The same electronic flexibility that provides a variety of agitator actions also provides a
range of spin speeds (300, 700 and 1000 rpm) to cater for all fabrics. The top spin speed of
1000 rpm will leave your clothes noticeably drier.
CONTROLS
The electronic controls are designed for maximum ease of use. Software prevents you from
programming your machine in a way that will damage your clothes. The Favorite cycle
allows you to select the cycle and wash options at the touch of a button.
In summary, your Smart Drive offers better wash performance over a greater range of fabric
types, water levels and clothes loads whilst increasing the machine’s ease of operation.
