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 minimise 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 aid 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 programme.
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 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.
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.

4Safety and warnings
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 Authorised Service Agent.
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 Service Centre
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 vapours 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.
Maintenance
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before any cleaning or 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 Authorised 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.

Safety and warnings
Important safety instructions
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 programme 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 aid into the salt reservoir. The detergent or rinse aid will destroy
the water softener.
Do not operate your appliance by means of an external timer or separate remote-control system.

Note
*Reference programme in compliance with IEC 60436 Regulations.
Wash times can vary depending on the incoming water temperature, ambient conditions, type of
dish load and whether the drawer has been opened during the wash.

10 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 programme 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 programme has
finished.
Aluminium
Aluminium 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 colour 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.
Holiday 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®.

Stemware
notches
The six notches
on the left-
hand side
help support
long-stemmed
glassware.
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.
Chopstick insert
This prevents thin chopstick ends from going
through the holes on the bottom of the cutlery
basket and potentially stopping the spray arm.
Lower the insert to the bottom of a compartment
with anti-nesting grid, then press firmly into place.

14 Loading suggestions
When loading your DishDrawer®, make sure that
you place items so that water coming from the rotating spray arm below can reach all areas
(wash performance will be reduced if it can’t)
nothing blocks the water from getting to items on the adjustable racks.

How NOT to load your DishDrawer®
standard test load heavy load
crowding nesting etc.
dishdrawer loading diagrams
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 this
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.

Dishwasher tablets
Tablets can either be placed in the cutlery basket or alternatively, placed directly in the wash
compartment as below. If you are using dishwasher tablets with a built-in rinse aid component,
you may need to reduce the rinse aid setting. See ‘Option adjustments’ for instructions.
Alternative:
If the cutlery basket cannot be
used, place dishwasher tablet in the
bottom of the wash compartment.
Preferred:
Place the dishwasher tablet in
the empty section between
the anti-nesting grids.

18 Water softener
Setting up the water softener
Using hard water (above 100ppm) for dishwashing can be detrimental to the performance of
your DishDrawer®. Glasses will become opaque and dishes will become spotted or covered in a
white film.
Determine the water hardness in your local area
Your local water company will be able to provide you with information. Identify the setting you
require for your DishDrawer® from the water hardness table below. For example, if your water
hardness is 500ppm, then the water softener setting on your DishDrawer® should be 4. Refer to
the ‘Option adjustments’ section to adjust the water softener so that the setting corresponds to
your water hardness.
DishDrawer®
setting
ppm
00 - 100
1100 - 250
2250 - 350
3350 - 450
4450 - 550
5550 - 625
Notes:
If your water hardness is above 625ppm, we highly recommend you completely fill the detergent
compartment for all programmes except Rinse and the rinse aid setting should be at 5. If your
water hardness is above 625ppm, the wash performance of your DishDrawer® will decline.
You may hear some unusual noises when the water softener is in operation, this is normal.
How to fill the salt reservoir
1 Open the DishDrawer®.
2 Unscrew the salt reservoir cap by turning
anticlockwise.
3 Place the salt into the salt container and pour the
contents into the salt reservoir. The salt reservoir
can hold up to approximately 0.5 kg of salt.
4 Fit the cap tightly back into its original position.
5 If you do not wash your dishes immediately after filling
the salt reservoir, run a Rinse programme to remove any
salt water or spilt granules.
Note:
When filling the salt reservoir, you may notice water being
displaced from the water softener overflow.
