INTRODUCTION
Thank you and congratu[afions [or making the wise decision in purchasing your
Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer. Every cam has been taken in designing and
manut_tcturing your appliance. We are sure that you will enjoy using your
DishDrawer and will soon appreciate its many benefits. We wish you many years of
satis[ying use.
Unique Features of Your DishDrawer TM
By now you will be aware that Fisher & Paykel's DishDrawer isa unique
dishwasher, which oft_,rs benefits no other dishwasher can.
The DishDrawer takes the everyday kitchen drawer - long recognised asthe most
efficient, easy to access storage syst(,m in the kitchen - and turns it into the most
advanced dishwasher in the world.
Ifyou have chosen a double DishDrawer, or moro than one single DishDrawer, you
will have totally separate, independently operatc,d washing units, introducing loading
and washing possibilities that have never betore been possible.
Now you can treat precious glassware to a delicate wash and give pots and pans the
heavy duty treatment - all at the same time.
The Clutter-Free Counter Top Becomes A Reality
Now it really ispossible to keep your counter top lree from ew,ryday clutter like tall
glasses and awkward serving dishes, rhe double DishDrawer's spacious
configuration gives you many new ways to Mad 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, interchangablo inseris the DishDrawer can be arranged to
accommodate the way you live and the dishes you use most often. Inserts are easy to
remove so it is easy to change your layout as your daily needs change.
Ifyou have two DishDrawers, you can arrange one drawer ior all your lightly soiled
cups, saucers and fine glassware - inckJding Mng-stemmed glasses - and wash them
using a delicate cycle. Set up your other drawer ior your morn robust, heavily-soiled
items like plates, pots and pans. Inserts can easily be removed completely to fit
awkward preparation or serving dishes.

The Guilt-Free Small Load
At[ DishDrawer models make the small, guilt-free toad a reality. The DishDrawer
minimizes water and energy consumption with each drawer using less than half the
water of a conventional dishwasher. By washing smaller loads more frequently, you
need never run out of clean dishes.
Gentler Introduction of Detergent
The DishDraweds innovativo detergent dispenser thoroughly pre-mixes water with
detergent before it is introduced into the drawer, so your delicate dishes are protected
from "detergentburn". Precise markings inside the dispenser ensure you never use
too much or too tittle detergent lot each program.
Big On the Inside
Each DishDrawer has been careffd[y designed to give you more usable space than
ever before.
Each DishDrawer can accommodate 12 large dinner plates up to 11.4" in diameter. A
deeper drawer design means large plates can be loaded into the drawer while cups
and glasses can be sal_,lystacked into the two levels.
Fisher & Paykel strongly recommends that you read the information contained in
this Use & Care Manual before using the DishDrawer.

Each DishDrawer is supplied with the following:
• Basket

USAGE
DishDrawerTM Accessories
The basket isthe basic insert DishDrawer requires
wash dishes. The inserts and racks can be added or
removed to suit your individual needs. Ifyou have two
DishDrawers, some of the parts are interchangable
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 for plates
and larger items.
Purpose of Each Insert
Basket
This is thf, most basic piece and it is essential lor this to
be carefully placed into the DishDrawer first. It holds
some of the inserts in place and keeps the dishes above
the spray arm so it can rotate and spray water onto the
dishes.
Drain Filter Access Panel
The drain filtc,r access panel is designed to giw • access to
the drain filter, the purpose of this insert is to prevent
objects from touching the base of the DishDrawer and
stopping the rotation of the spray arm, but still giving
access to the drain filter.
Cutlery Basket
The 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
ova[ slots should lace the middle of the drawer.
Individual pieces of cutlery, like knives or spoons, can
be placed in the oval slots ior convenience.
