READ AND SAVE THIS GUIDE
When using your DishDrawer™ Dishwasher, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
General
z The information in this guide must be followed to minimise the risk of fire or explosion
or to prevent property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
z Use the DishDrawer™ Dishwasher only for its intended function as described in this
user guide.
z This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as:
z staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments
z farm houses
z by clients in hotels, motels and other residential environments
z bed and breakfast environments.
z NSF 184-Certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed
food establishments.
z 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 program.
z When loading items to be washed, locate sharp items so that they are not likely to
damage the internal lid of the DishDrawer™ Dishwasher and load sharp knives with the
handle up to reduce the risk of cut injuries.
z Do not touch the filter plate in the DishDrawer™ Dishwasher base during or immediately
after use, as it may be hot.
z Do not operate your DishDrawer™ Dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly
in place.
z Do not tamper with the controls.
z Do not abuse, sit on, stand in or on the drawer or dish rack of the
DishDrawer™ Dishwasher.
z The drawer should not be left in the open position since this could present a
tripping hazard.
z 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.
z To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the
DishDrawer™ Dishwasher.
z 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 DishDrawer™
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.
z 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
DishDrawer™ Dishwasher when the door is open.
z Under no circumstances should you open the drawer whilst the DishDrawer™
Dishwasher is in operation.
z Always press to pause and wait until you hear four beeps before opening the drawer.
z The DishDrawer™ Dishwasher must be used with the motor assembly, filter plate, drain
filter and spray arm in place. To identify what these parts are refer to 'Maintenance'.
SAFETY AND WARNINGS

6
SAFETY AND WARNINGS
z Take care not to load dishware items so they prevent the internal lid from properly
sealing with the drawer. Items should be placed so they do not protrude above
the drawer.
z Cleaning and maintenance shall not be done by children without supervision.
z Do not allow children to play inside, on or with this appliance or any
discarded appliance.
z If the DishDrawer™ Dishwasher is not being used for long periods of time, turn the
electricity and water supply off.
z Household appliances are not intended to be used by children. Children of less than 8
years old must be kept away from the appliance unless continuously supervised. This
appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above, and persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, if
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance in a
safe way and they understand the hazards involved.
z If a dishwasher cleaner is used, we recommend running a wash program with detergent
immediately afterward to prevent any damage.
z The DishDrawer™ Dishwasher is designed for washing normal household utensils. Items
that are contaminated by petrol, paint, steel, iron debris, corrosive, acidic or alkaline
chemicals are not to be washed in the DishDrawer™ Dishwasher.
z Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked dishwasher safe or equivalent. For
plastic items not marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Installation
z This DishDrawer™ 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 DishDrawer™ Dishwasher, you can order them by calling your Authorised
Repairer or download them from our local Fisher & Paykel website, listed on the
back cover.
z Installation and service must be performed by a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported
service technician.
z If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a Fisher & Paykel trained
and supported service technician or a qualified trades person in order to avoid
a hazard.
z Ensure the DishDrawer™ Dishwasher is secured to adjacent cabinetry using the brackets

FIRST USE
Cutlery & silverware
All cutlery and silverware should be
rinsed immediately after use to prevent
tarnishing, RINSE cycle is recommended.
Silver should not come into contact with
stainless steel, mixing these can cause
staining. Remove silver cutlery from
the DishDrawer™ Dishwasher and hand
dry immediately.
Aluminum
Aluminum can be dulled by detergent.
The degree of change depends on the
quality of the detergent or aluminum.
Other metals
Iron and cast iron can rust and stain other
items. Copper, pewter and brass tend
to stain.
Woodware
Woodware is generally sensitive to heat
and water. Regular use in the DishDrawer™
Dishwasher may cause deterioration
over time.
Glassware
Most glassware is dishwasher safe. Crystal,
very fine and antique glassware may etch
and will develop a cloudy appearance.
Plastics
Some plastics may change shape or
colour with hot water. Refer to the
manufacturer’s guide. Dishwasher safe
plastic should be weighed down so it
does not flip 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.
Glued items
Certain adhesives are softened or
dissolved in machine washing.
If your home has hard water
z Refer to 'Powdered detergent quantity recommendations' and 'Water softener'.
z Use rinse aid. We recommend you raise the rinse aid setting to 5 to help improve wash
performance. Refer to 'Preferences' for details.
Use a dishwasher cleaner/descaler regularly, or whenever you notice a build-up of limescale
deposits in your DishDrawer™ Dishwasher.
If your home has soft or softened water
z Avoid using too much detergent.
Dishware
The combination of high temperatures and dishwasher detergent may cause damage to
some items. Refer to the manufacturer's guidance or wash by hand if in doubt.
Water hardness
Hard water is water with a high concentration of minerals such as calcium and magnesium.
It can be detrimental to the performance of your DishDrawer™ Dishwasher and parts
can fail over time. Glassware washed in hard water will become cloudy and dishes
will become spotted or covered in a white film over time. Water hardness varies by
geographical location.
If you live in a hard water area, and your DishDrawer™ Dishwasher does not have a built-in
water softener, we recommend fitting a water softener to the household water supply.

LOADING SUGGESTIONS
Ensure
z Spray arms can rotate freely.
z Glass and other fragile items are stable.
z All dish openings are facing downwards.
z Plates are evenly spaced.
z All sharp objects are located securely to avoid
injury or damage to the product.
Avoid
z Overcrowding.
z Any protrusions below the racks and basket that
may prevent spray arm rotation.
z Any protrusions at the top of the drawer.*
z Blocking water from any items on the foldaway
cup racks.
*maximum dishware height for standard tub models is 280mm and 310mm for tall tub models.
Scrape food off dishware before carefully loading into the drawer. When loading your
drawer ensure items are placed so water coming from the rotating spray arm below can
reach all areas. Wash performance will be reduced if it can't.

11
Your DishDrawer™ Dishwasher has a number of wash programs designed to suit your needs.
Selecting the most appropriate cycle for each load will help ensure the best wash results.
The Eco program is the most efficient program in terms of combined energy and water
consumption. Loading the dishwasher to capacity will contribute to water and energy
savings. Pre-rinsing of tableware items will increase water and energy consumption and is
not recommended. Washing tableware with a household dishwasher usually consumes less
energy and water than hand washing, when used according to manufacturer's instructions.
WASH PROGRAMS

WASH MODIFIERS
Using SANITIZE
The SANITIZE wash modifier adjusts the wash program to meet the conditions required by
Section 6, NSF 184 for sanitization to occur. While SANITIZE is running, the wash program is
monitored to ensure that these conditions are met.
Only programs utilising the SANITIZE wash modifier are certified to meet the conditions
required by Section 6, NSF 184. Other wash programs may not reach the temperatures
required for sanitization to occur. See table on previous page for wash programs that have
sanitize available.
For sanitization to occur, the temperature of the water needs to reach 70°C. Ensure all
items are dishwasher safe before running the sanitize modifier.
If the wash is interrupted or the water supply is turned off during the program, the heating
conditions for sanitization may not be met. You may need to run the program again.
If sanitization has been successful
The DishDrawer™ Dishwasher will beep, 0
will show in the display and the SANITIZE
indicator will remain lit. After 30 seconds the
display will turn off.

RINSE AID
Rinse aid provides a streak-free finish to glass and dishware as well as preventing metal
from tarnishing. We recommend using a liquid rinse aid regularly for optimal drying results.
During dispensing, a pulsing sound may be heard, this is normal.
The rinse aid dispenser is located on
the inside of the drawer underneath the
detergent dispenser. It holds approximately
1.7 fl oz (50ml) of rinse aid.
How much rinse aid to use
The amount of rinse aid dispensed in each wash may need adjusted to suit your water
conditions. Refer to 'Preferences' and 'Water softener' for guidance.
When to refill rinse aid
z If the indicator glows or flashes bright red, refill rinse aid.
z If the indicator glows or flashes dimly or not at all, you do not need to refill – there is
enough rinse aid for the wash.
When using lighter coloured rinse aids, the indicator may not dim as prominently as when
using darker rinse aids.
