Washing Machine — Fisher & Paykel WashSmart
Quick start (washing)
- Open the main door and load up to 8–9 kg of laundry. Do not overpack — ¾ full is best.
- Add washing powder or liquid to the detergent drawer (main compartment).
- For best results, choose one of these recommended cycles:
-
Everyday — reliable all-round wash for most items.
-
Quick / Super Quick — shorter cycles for lightly soiled loads.
-
Delicate — gentle option for softer fabrics.
-
Heavy / Bulky — ideal for towels and thicker items.
- Close the door firmly and press Start/Pause.
Drying
- This property does not have a built-in dryer.
- Please use the foldable drying rack (stored in the back bedroom wardrobe) or the outdoor clothesline.
- Pegs are provided for outdoor drying.
Drying rack
A foldable rack is stored in the back bedroom wardrobe if you’d prefer to air-dry items. There is also a clothesline outside.
Tips
- Shake out items before hanging to reduce creasing.
- Lighter loads wash and dry more effectively.
- Front loaders use less detergent — a small amount goes a long way.
- The machine may take a moment to unlock after a cycle — this is normal.
Safety
Do not open the door mid-cycle. Supervise children around the machine.
