INTRODUCTION
Fhank you and congratu[afions for making the wise decision in pL_rchasingyour
Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer. Every care has been taken in designing and
manufacturing your appliance. We are sure that you will enjoy using your
DishDrawer and wilt soon appreciate its many benefits. We wish you many years of
safisl_/inguse.
Unique Features of Your DishDrawer
By now you wil[ bf, aware that Fisher & PaykeI's DishDrawe_ is a unique ciishwasheb
which ofl_,rsbenefits no other dishwasher can.
Fhe DishDrawer takes the everyday kitchen drawer - long recognised as the most
efficient, easy to access storage system in the kitchen - and turns it into the most
advanced dishwasher in the world.
ffyou have chosen a double DishDrawer, or more than one single DishDrawer, you
will have totally separate, independently operated washing units, introducing loading
and washing possibilities that have never before been possible.
Now you can treat precious glassware to a delicate wash and give pots and pans the
heavy duty treatment- at[ at the same time.
The Clutter-Free Counter Top Becomes A Reality
Now it really is possible to keep your counter top free from c,w,ryday clutter like tall
glasses and awkward serving dishes. The double DishDrawer's spacious
configuration gives you many new ways to load your machine - and use it.
Used cleverly, two DishDrawers can even provide extra kitchen storage. Use clean
dishes directly from one drawer and load them back into the other drawer when dirty.
Design Your Own Rack System
With flexible, inlc,rchangable inserts the DishDrawer can be arranged to
accommodate the way you live and the dishes you use most oiten. Inserts art, easy to
remove so it iseasy to change your layout as your daily needs change.
ffyou have two DishDrawers, you can arrange one drawer for all your lightly soiled
cups, saLtcersand fine glassware - including long-stemmed glasses - and wash them
using a delicate cycle. Set up your other drawer for your more robust, heavily-soiled
items like plates, pots and pans. Inserts can easily be removed completely to fit
awkward preparation or se_'vingdishes.

The Guilt-Free Small Load
All DishDrawer models make the small, gui[t-iree load areality, rhe DishDrawer
minimizes water and energy consumption with each drawer using lessthan half the
water of a conventional dishwasher. By washing smaller toads more ireqL_ent[y, you
need never run out of clean dishes.
Gentler Introduction of Detergent
The DishDrawer's innovatiw, detergent dispenser thoroughly pre-mixes water with
detergent before it is introduced into the drawer, so your delicate dishes art, protected
from "detergent bum". Precise markings inside the dispenser ensure you never L_se
too mL_chor too tittle detergent for each program.
Big On the Inside
Each DishDrawer has been carefully designed to give you more L_sab[espace than
ever betore.
Each DishDrawer can accommodate 12 large dinner plates L_pto 11.4" in diameter. A
deeper drawer design means large plates can be loaded into the drawer while cups
and glasses can be sale[y stacked into the two levels.

Fhe basket is thf, basic" insert DishDrawer requires to
wash dishes, rhe inserts and racks can be added or
removed to suit your individual needs. [f you have two
DishDrawers, some of the parts are interchangab[e
between the two drawers. For example you can
combine the two Mega Racks into one drawer and wash
all cups and glasses, leaving the other drawer ior plates
and larger items.
Purpose of Each Insert
Basket
Fhis is the most basic piecf, and it isessential lot this to

dishes.
Drain Filter Access Panel
Fhe drain filter access pane[ is designed to give access to
the drain filter. The purpose of this insert is to prevent
objects from touching the base of the Dish Drawer and
stopping the rotation of the spray arm, but still giving
access to the drain fiher.
Cutlery Basket
Fhe cutlery basket is removable and ideally should sit
over the opening of the drain filter in the front right hand
side of the drawer. For maximum wash performance the
ovals slots should face the middle of the drawer.
Individual pieces of cutlery, like knives or spoons, can
be placed in the oval slots [or convenience.
