Your dishwasher has been carefully designed to operate safely during normal
dishwashing procedures. Please keep the following instructions in mind when you are
using your dishwasher.
SAFETY AND WARNINGS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• WARNING! - When using your dishwasher, follow
basic precautions, including the following:
• Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
• The information in this manual must be followed to
minimise the risk of fire or explosion or to prevent
property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
• Use the dishwasher only for its intended function as
described in this user guide and in your ‘Quick start
guide’.
• This appliance is intended to be used in household
and similar applications such as:
– staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other
working environments;
– farm houses;
– by clients in hotels, motels and other residential
type environments;
– bed and breakfast type environments.
• NSF 184-Certified residential dishwashers are not
intended for licensed food establishments.
• Use only detergents or rinse aid recommended
for use in a domestic dishwasher and keep them
out of reach of children. Check that the detergent
dispenser(s) 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
internal lid of the dishwasher and load sharp knives
with the handle up to reduce the risk of cut-type
injuries.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
• Do not touch the filter plate (in the dishwasher base)
during or immediately after use, as it may be hot.
• Do not operate your dishwasher 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 dishwasher.
• The drawer should not be left in the open position
since this could present a tripping hazard.
• The foldaway cup racks are designed to support
cups, glasses and kitchen utensils. When the
foldaway cup racks are in the drawer 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 dishwasher.
• 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 taps 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.
• Some dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline.
They can be extremely dangerous if swallowed.
Avoid contact with the skin and eyes and keep
children away from the dishwasher when the door is
open. Check that the detergent receptacle is empty
after completion of the wash cycle.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Installation
• This dishwasher must be installed and located
in accordance with the Installation instructions
before it is used. If you did not receive Installation
instructions with your dishwasher, you can order
them by calling your Authorised Repairer or
download them from our local Fisher & Paykel
website, listed on the back cover.
• 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 Authorised Repairer or a
similar qualified trades person in order to avoid a
hazard.
• Ensure the dishwasher 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
vapours and liquids in the vicinity of the dishwasher.
• 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 dishwasher where it will
be exposed to temperatures below freezing or
exposed to weather.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
• Do not use an extension cord or a portable electrical
outlet device (e.g. multi-socket outlet box) to
connect the dishwasher 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 dishwasher 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Maintenance
• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply
before any cleaning or maintenance.
• When disconnecting the appliance pull the plug
rather than the power supply cord or junction of
cord to avoid damage.
• 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 contact Customer Care to arrange service.
See your ‘Service and warranty’ booklet for contact
details.
• 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.
• Models with a remote control: Do not attempt to
recharge, short-circuit, disassemble, heat or throw
the remote control battery into a fire. Dispose of an
old battery responsibly, keeping it out of reach of
children.
