Important safety information
Save these instructions
WARNING!
For your safety, follow basic precautions when using your DishDrawer®, including the
following:
Please read all instructions before operating 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 handles 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 the 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 cup racks are designed to support cups, glasses and kitchen utensils. When the cup racks
are in the DishDrawer®do not lean on or use the cup racks 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
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 person(s) away from the dishwasher when the drawer is
opened.

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.
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.
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.

Operational
Important!
Under no circumstances should you open the drawer whilst the DishDrawer®is in operation.
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 it prevents 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.
Important!
This User Guide should be retained with the appliance for future reference. Should the
appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, always ensure that the User Guide is left
with the appliance in order that the new owner can become familiar with the appliance and
the relevant warnings.
