1 SAFETY AND WARNINGS
IMPORTANT SAFETYGUIDE
zzThis dishwasher is manufactured for indoor use only.
zzEnsure to follow safety and the warnings to prevent electrical shock, injury or fire.
zzEnsure to remove all packaging materials supplied with the dishwasher.
zzThis dishdrawer is intended for connection to the hot-water supply.
zzThe dishwasher MUST be installed to allow for future removal from the enclosure if
service is required.
zzInstallation of this dishwasher requires basic mechanical and electricalskills.
zzInstallation must comply with your local building, electricity, and plumbing regulations.
zzIt is the responsibility of the plumber and electrician to ensure that each installation
complies with all Codesand Regulations.
zzThe switched power outlet must be located outside the dishwasher cavity to allow easy
access after installation. Take care when installing or removing the appliance to avoid
possible damage to the power supply cord andhoses.
zzIf the dishwasher is to be relocated from one installation to another it must bekept
upright to avoid damage from water spillage.
zzMake sure only new hoses are used for connection (supplied with the dishwasher).
Oldhoses should not be reused.
zzFailure to install the dishwasher correctly could invalidate any warranty or liability claims.
zzFitting integrated front panels requires access to electrical service areas. This work must
be performed and certified by a qualified electrical service technician.
zzEnsure the appliance is not plugged in when fitting custom panels.
zzFailure to install the custom panels correctly could invalidate anywarranty or
liabilityclaims.
zzAt the completion of the dishwasher installation, the Installer mustperform
theFinalChecklist.
GROUNDING
zzThis 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.
zzThis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.
zzIf the dishwasher is installed as a permanently connected appliance:
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.
WARNING!
Electrical Shock Hazard
Before installing the dishwasher, remove the house fuse or open the
circuitbreaker.
Ensure that a qualified electrician or service representative has checked
ifthe appliance is properly grounded.
Improper connection of equipment-grounding conductor can result to
riskof electric shock.
Do not modify the power supply plug provided with the appliance — if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Do not use an extension cord, adapter plug or multiple outlet box.
Ensure the dishwasher is completely enclosed at the time of installation
toreduce the risk of electrical shock, fire, or personal injury.
Ensure the dishwasher is disconnected from the power supply before
fittingthe front panels.
Ensure components such as panel bracket and any custom metal
component (eg handle) that extends past the rubber seal, are electrically
grounded after installing the front panels.
Failure to follow these advice may result in electrical shock or death.
WARNING!
Cut Hazard
Take care — panel edges are sharp.
Failure to use caution could result in injury or cuts.

tothepower supply.
zzDo not connect the dishwasher to a water system where the temperature exceeds 140°F
(60°C), or where there is no temperature control, eg wetback system, unless the system
isfitted with a suitable tempering valve.
zzDo not connect the dishwasher to an undersink high-pressure ‘push-through’ type hot
water system to prevent damage to the system.

IMPORTANT!
zzEnsure the custom door panel has the correct specifications
tofitthe front of thedishwasher.
zzEnsure the back andsides of the panel are completely sealed
with a waterproof vapor barrier (ie polyurethane). The barrier
allows thepanel to withstand moisture (122°F (50°C) @ 80% RH)
andprevent damage during hot and wet environment.

!4 ALIGN APPLIANCE IN CABINETRY
IMPORTANT!
Ensure the appliance is leveled for proper dish rack, wash performance and door operation.
To verify dishwasher is leveled, open and close the door and pull the dish racks half way out.
Thedoorshould fit in the tub opening without hitting the sides. Iftheracks roll on their own, or
the door hits the side of tub, re-level.
IMPORTANT!
zzEnsure top of door is aligned flush with surrounding cabinetry.
zzUse floor protection before sliding the appliance into the cabinetry.
Remove the protection once the appliance is positioned in
thecabinetry.
As you push the appliance in, pull through hoses and cord, ensure
they don’t get kinked or twisted.
Note: If using an infill bracket for cabinets with cavity height of 35.5”
or above, refer to ‘Attach infill bracket’ (page 10) for moredetails. Center appliance

3 Refit the junction box cover
Refit the junction box cover ensuring no wires are
pinched beneath the cover. Ensure the power cord
isrouted under the appliance.
!5 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
IMPORTANT!
zzEnsure the power cord and connections comply with the National Electrical Code, Section 422 and/or local codes
and ordinances. Maximum power cord length is 6 feet. A Power Cord Kit is available for purchase from an authorized
Fisher&Paykel appliancesdealer.
zzCheck the house wiring. If it is not 2-wire with ground, a ground must be provided by the installer.
If the house wiring is aluminum, use UL-Listed anti-oxidant compound and aluminum-to-copper connectors.

zzEnsure the end of the elbow is pointing to the rear of the dishwasher.
Prepare water supply connection Connect hot water line to inlet valve
IMPORTANT!
Ensure to flush the water line into a bucket before connecting to the water inlet valve.
1 If using a flexible braided hose:
Screw the nut of the hose to the thread of the elbow.
Tighten with an adjustable wrench.
2 If using a a copper pipe:
Slide the compression nut and ferrule towards the end of the pipe.
Insert the end of the pipe into the elbow and screw the compression
nut to the thread of the elbow.
2 Insert the hot water line (copper pipe or flexible braided hose) through
the water supply hole from the side of the cabinetry. (Refer to ‘Cavity
preparation, page 9 for more details).
zzBe careful not to damage the water line while inserting through the hole.
3 Install a hand shut-off valve to the water line in a location that is easily
accessible in the adjacent cabinetry (eg under the sink).
