Safety and warnings
Your DishDrawer has been carefully designed to operate safely during normal dishwashing
procedures. Please keep the following instructions in mind when you are using your
DishDrawer®.
Important safety instructions
WARNING! - When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:
Read all instructions before using the DishDrawer®.
The information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion or to
prevent property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
Use the DishDrawer® only for its intended function as described in this user guide.
Use only detergents or rinse agent recommended for use in a domestic dishwasher and keep
them out of reach of children. Check that the detergent dispenser is empty after the completion
of each wash program.
When loading items to be washed, locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the
lid seal and load sharp knives with the handle up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
Do not touch the heater plate during or immediately after use.
Do not operate your DishDrawer® unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.
Do not tamper with the controls.
Do not abuse, sit on, stand in or on the drawer or dish rack of the DishDrawer®.
The adjustable racks are designed to support cups, glasses and kitchen utensils. When the
adjustable racks are in the DishDrawer® do not lean on or use them to support your body
weight.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the DishDrawer®.
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water heater system that has
not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has
not been used for such a period, before using the dishwasher, turn on all hot water faucets and
let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen
gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service
or discarding it.
Dishwasher detergents are alkaline. They can be dangerous if swallowed. Avoid contact with
skin and eyes, keep children and infirm persons away from the dishwasher when the drawer is
opened.

Important safety instructions
Installation
This DishDrawer® must be installed and located in accordance with the Installation instructions
before it is used. If you did not receive Installation instruction sheets with your DishDrawer®, you
can order them by calling your Authorized Service Agent or from the Fisher & Paykel website,
www.fisherpaykel.com.
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified technician.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a dealer or Authorized Service Center
or a similar qualified trades person in order to avoid a hazard.
Ensure the DishDrawer® is secured to adjacent cabinetry using the brackets provided. Failure to
do so may result in an unstable product, which may cause damage or injury.
Do not operate this appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled or has
missing or broken parts, including a damaged power supply cord or plug.
Do not store or use petrol, or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of the
DishDrawer®.
Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized power supply circuit to avoid electrical overload.
Make sure that the power supply cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over or
otherwise subject to damage or stress.
Do not install or store the DishDrawer® where it will be exposed to temperatures below freezing
or exposed to weather.
Do not use an extension cord or a portable electrical outlet device (e.g. multi-socket outlet box)
to connect the DishDrawer® to the power supply.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will
reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This
appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. WARNING - Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service representative if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance; if it will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified technician.
If the DishDrawer® is installed as a permanently connected appliance:
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS - This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent
wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors
and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.

Safety and warnings
Important safety instructions
Maintenance
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically
recommended in this user guide. We recommend that you call an Authorized Service Agent.
Keep the floor around your appliance clean and dry to reduce the possibility of slipping.
Keep the area around/underneath your appliance free from the accumulation of combustible
materials, such as lint, paper, rags and chemicals.
When cleaning the underside of the filter plate, care must be taken on the sharp outer edge to
avoid the risk of cut type injuries.
Important!
Under no circumstances should you open the drawer whilst the DishDrawer® is in operation.
Operational
Always press the button to pause and wait until you hear the three additional beeps before
opening the drawer.
The DishDrawer® must be used with the motor assembly, filter plate, drain filter and spray arm in
place.
When disconnecting the appliance pull the plug rather than the power supply cord or junction of
cord to avoid damage.
Take care when loading the DishDrawer® not to load dishware items so they prevent the lid from
properly sealing with the drawer. Items should be placed so they do not protrude above and/or
forced into the drawer, otherwise a service call may result.
Household appliances are not intended to be played with by children. Children or persons with a
disability which limits their ability to use the appliance, should have a responsible person instruct
them in its use. The instructor should be satisfied that they can then use the appliance without
danger to themselves or their surroundings.
Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is used by or near children. Do not allow children
to play inside, on or with this appliance or any discarded appliance.
If a dishwasher cleaner is used, we would strongly recommend a wash program with detergent
should be run immediately afterward, to prevent any damage to the DishDrawer®.
The DishDrawer® is designed for washing normal household utensils. Items that are
contaminated by petrol, paint, steel or iron debris, corrosive, acidic or alkaline chemicals are not
to be washed in the DishDrawer®.
If the DishDrawer® is not being used for long periods of time, turn the electricity and water supply
to the DishDrawer® off.
Do not pour detergent or rinse agent into the salt reservoir. The detergent or rinse agent will
destroy the water softener.

12 Caring for your dinnerware
The combination of high temperatures and dishwasher detergent may cause damage to some
items if they are washed in the DishDrawer®. Remember, if in any doubt about any aspect
concerning items washed in the DishDrawer®, follow the instructions from the manufacturer of
the items, or wash the item by hand.
Cutlery & silverware
All cutlery and silverware should be rinsed immediately after use to prevent tarnishing caused by
some foods. The Rinse wash program is useful for this. Silver items should not come into contact
with stainless steel, eg other cutlery. Mixing these items can cause staining. Remove silver cutlery
from the DishDrawer® and hand dry it immediately after the program has finished.
Aluminum
Aluminum can be dulled by dishwasher detergent. The degree of change depends on the
quality of the product.
Other metals
Iron and cast iron objects can rust and stain other items. Copper, pewter and brass tend to stain.
Woodware
Wooden items are generally sensitive to heat and water. Regular use in the dishwasher may
cause deterioration over time. If in doubt, wash by hand.
Glassware
Most everyday glassware is dishwasher safe. Crystal, very fine and antique glassware may etch
that is, become opaque. You may prefer to wash these items by hand.
Plastic
Some plastic may change shape or color with hot water. Check manufacturer’s instructions
about washing plastic items. Washable plastic items should be weighed down so they do not
flip over and fill with water or fall through the base rack during the wash.
Decorated items
Most modern china patterns are dishwasher safe. Antique items, those with a pattern painted
over the glaze, gold rims or hand painted china may be more sensitive to machine washing. If in
doubt, wash by hand.
Glued items
Certain adhesives are softened or dissolved in machine washing. If in doubt, wash by hand.
Vacation time
If the DishDrawer® is not going to be used for some time, we recommend you leave the
DishDrawer® clean and empty. Leave the drawers ajar to allow air to circulate. Turn off both the
power and water supply to the DishDrawer®.

Folding tines
The front half is ideal for large, deep bowls.
Fold the tine sections down towards each other if you need the space for pots or other large
items.
Fold down the right-hand section only and lean cups against the upright tines for extra stability.
Cutlery basket
Mix spoons, knives and forks within each section to
stop cutlery nesting together.
Most cutlery is placed with the handle pointing
down.
For your safety, knives and sharp utensils should
have their handles up.
Small light items like baby bottle teats are best
placed under the anti-nesting grids to prevent
them from being displaced.

Loading suggestions
How NOT to load your DishDrawer®
Overcrowded and wash water will not
reach some of the dinnerware.
Cups, glasses and bowls must have their
openings facing down.
The plates are nesting together and wash
water may not get through.
Ensure cutlery are not nesting or stuck
together. They need to be evenly spread
out.
Ensure dishware items are not forced
into or protrude out of the drawer as it
may prevent the lid from properly sealing
which could result in a service call.
Locate sharp items safely to prevent
injuring the user and damaging the lid
assembly.
Check the bottom of the cutlery basket to
ensure sharp or pointed items have not
come through as they may stop spray arm
rotation.
Ensure cutlery has not fallen through the
base rack and stopped the spray arm from
rotating.
The large bowl is blocking wash water
reaching the adjustable racks.
Large utensils should be on the adjustable
racks so they do not become dislodged and
stop the spray arm from rotating.
Sharp or pointed items must be placed
horizontally or with sharp edges/points
facing down to avoid risk of injury.
