You owe it to yourself and your 

AquaSmart 2™

 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:

1

  Has the basepacker been removed?

2

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

 

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

3

  Is the drain hose threaded through the ‘U bend’ hose guide  

(with no more than 20 mm extended) and onto your standpipe?

4

  Are the rubber inserts secured into the feet on the base of your 

machine, the machine levelled, and corner cabinets clear of the 
floor? Refer to ‘Installation instructions’, page 5.
