WARNING!
To reduce the risk of fire, injury to persons or damage when using the appliance, follow the
important safety instructions listed below. Read all the guidance before using the appliance.
Servicing
zDo not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in
this guide. All other servicing should be undertaken by a Fisher & Paykel trained and
supported service technician or qualified person.
Installation
zEnsure all water connections are turned OFF. It is the responsibility of the plumber and
electrician to ensure that each installation complies with all Codes and Regulations.
zThe dishwasher MUST be installed to allow for future removal from the enclosure if service
is required.
zThe switched power outlet must be outside the dishwasher cavity, so that it is accessible
after installation.
zThis dishwasher is manufactured for indoor use only.
zCare should be taken when the appliance is installed or removed to reduce the likelihood
of damage to the power supply cord and hoses.
zIf the dishwasher is to be relocated from one installation to another it must be kept
upright to avoid damage from water spillage.
zMake sure only new hoses are used for connection (supplied with the dishwasher). Old
hoses should not be reused.
zFailure to install the dishwasher correctly could invalidate any warranty or liability claims.
zEnsure the dishwasher is placed between cabinetry. Failure to do so may result in an
unstable product, which may cause damage or injury.
zDo 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.
zDo not store or use petrol, or other flammable vapours and liquids in the vicinity of
the dishwasher.
zConnect to a properly rated, protected and sized power supply circuit to avoid
electrical overload.
zMake 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.
zDo not install or store the dishwasher where it will be exposed to temperatures below
freezing or exposed to weather.
zDo 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.
zThis appliance must be earthed. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, earthing will
reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.
zEARTHING INSTRUCTIONS - This appliance must be connected to a earthed metal,
permanent wiring system, or an equipment-earthing conductor must be run with
the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-earthing terminal or lead on
the appliance.
zInstallation must comply with your local building and electricity regulations.
zFailure to install the custom panels correctly could invalidate any warranty or
liability claims.
zInstallation of this dishwasher requires basic mechanical and electrical skills.
zBe sure to leave these Instructions with the Customer.
zAt the completion of the dishwasher installation, the Installer must perform the
Final Checklist.
zRemove all packaging materials supplied with the dishwasher.
zIf the product is installed in a motor vehicle, boat or similar mobile facility, you must bring
the vehicle, boat or mobile facility containing the product to the service shop at your
expense or pay the service technician's travel to the location of the product.
zThis appliance is fitted with a water heating feature and intended for connection to a hot
water supply.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire or injury to persons, the installer must ensure that
the dishwasher is completely enclosed at the time of installation.
