Safety and warnings

Important safety precautions

For your safety, follow basic precautions when using your dishwasher, including the following:

Please read all instructions before operating your dishwasher.
The information in this user guide must be followed to minimise the risk of fire or explosion, or to
prevent property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

Operational

Use the dishwasher only for its intended function as described in this user guide.
Dishwasher detergents are alkaline. They can be dangerous if swallowed. Avoid contact with skin
and eyes, and keep children and infirm persons away from the dishwasher when the door is open.
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, place sharp items where they are not likely to damage the
dishwasher and load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut type injuries.
Do not tamper with the controls of your dishwasher.
Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish rack of your dishwasher. Do not place any
heavy objects on the door when it is open. The dishwasher could tip forward.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.
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, then 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 hydrogen 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.
Open the door very carefully if the dishwasher is in operation. There is a risk of being sprayed
with hot water. Do not open the door fully until the spray arm has stopped rotating.
The door should not be left in the open position as this could present a tripping hazard.
When disconnecting the dishwasher pull by the plug rather than the cord or junction of cord to
avoid damage.
This dishwasher is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons unless they have been
adequately supervised by a responsible person to ensure that they can use the dishwasher safely.
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the dishwasher.
The water inside the dishwasher is not suitable for drinking.
This dishwasher is designed for washing normal household utensils. Items that are contaminated
by petrol, paint, steel or iron debris, or corrosive, acidic or alkaline chemicals are not to be
washed in this dishwasher.
If the dishwasher is not being used for long periods of time, turn the electricity and water supply
to the dishwasher off.

Safety and warnings

Installation

This dishwasher must be installed and positioned in accordance with the ‘Installation
instructions’ before it is used.
Installation and service should be performed by a qualified technician.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or Authorised
Service Centre or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
Ensure the dishwasher is placed between cabinetry. Failure to do so may result in an unstable
product, which may cause damage or injury.
Do not operate this dishwasher 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
dishwasher.
Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized power supply circuit to avoid electrical overload.
Make sure that the power supply cord is positioned where it will not be stepped on, tripped over,
or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
Do not install or store the dishwasher where it will be exposed to temperatures below freezing or
exposed to the weather.
Do not use an extension cord or portable electrical outlet device (eg multi-socket outlet box) to
connect the dishwasher to the power supply.

Maintenance

Do not repair or replace any part of the dishwasher or attempt any servicing unless specifically
recommended in this user guide. We recommend that you call a Fisher & Paykel Authorised
Service Agent.
Keep the floor around your dishwasher clean and dry to reduce the possibility of slipping.
Keep the area around and underneath your dishwasher free from the accumulation of
combustible materials, such as lint, paper, rags and chemicals.
When cleaning the underside of the filter, take care on the sharp outer edge to avoid the risk of
cut type injuries.
If the dishwasher is not operating properly or maintenance must be performed, disconnect the
dishwasher from the power supply.

Installation instructions

Before you start

These instructions are intended as a guide only. It is the responsibility of the plumber and
electrician to ensure that each installation complies with the Government and local government
by-laws.

Check packaging and dishwasher immediately for signs of transport damage. If the appliance
is damaged, do not put into use but contact your Fisher & Paykel Authorised Service Centre or
dealer.

The dishwasher must not be connected to the electrical supply while installation is being carried
out. Ensure all domestic wiring is properly earthed.

Never lift from the door handle.
Do not lift from the decorative panel on the front of the dishwasher. Always be careful with the
hoses and the power cord at the back of the dishwasher. Careful handling will prevent damage
and malfunction from squashing, kinking or cuts.

The dishwasher should not be connected to a hot water system where the temperature exceeds
60ºC, or where there is no temperature control, (eg wetback system) unless the system is fitted
with a suitable tempering valve.

The dishwasher must not be connected to an under-sink high-pressure “push through” type hot
water system, as damage to the system will result.

Ensure the bare wood surrounding the dishwasher is sealed with an oil-based paint or moisture-

proof polyurethane to prevent possible steam damage.

While installing a dishwasher, check the drain hose is not restricted or kinked.

Levelling

Before sliding the dishwasher into position, adjust the feet to ensure that the dishwasher is
level at the required height. Check that the door opens and closes freely without resistance to
adjacent cabinetry. If necessary, adjust the levelling feet slightly. The dishwasher should not be
inclined more than 2º. If the dishwasher is level, it will help to ensure optimum performance.

Installation instructions

Plumbing

Drainage

The recommended method of installation is shown in the diagrams below. These methods are
designed to eliminate problems that occur with combined sink – dishwasher waste systems.

The standpipe must have a minimum diameter of 38 mm and stand 750 mm above the floor. A
drain hose support is provided to hold the drain hose in place in the standpipe (see diagrams 1
and 2). It is not recommended that the drain hose or drain pipe be connected directly to a waste
disposal unit (see diagram 2).

When connecting the drain hose to a sink trap with a drain hose spigot, it is important that the
drain hose is supported to the height of the bench (see diagram 3). Ensure the drain spigot has
a minimum hole size of 15 mm and that it has been drilled out.

Installation instructions

Water inlet connections

The dishwasher has a single valve water connection. We recommend a cold water connection to
give the best wash performance and energy efficiency.

Important!

The appliance should be connected to the water main using a new hose set. Old hose sets should not be
used. If the water inlet hose is not long enough to make a proper connection, it must be
replaced. This hose can be purchased from a Fisher & Paykel dealer or authorised service centre.

Water supply

The dishwasher inlet hose must be connected to an accessible water tap. The water supply to
the dishwasher should be through a 3/4” bsp connector, making sure it is tightly fastened. The
hose coupling must be tightened a further half turn after seal contact.

If the water pipes have not been used for an extended period of time, let the water run to make
sure that the water is clear and free of impurities. If this precaution is not taken, there is a risk
the water inlet will get blocked and damage the appliance.

Anti-flood protection

This mechanism will stop the water flowing in the event of a damaged hose or a leak within the
machine.

Positioning your dishwasher

Position the appliance in the desired location. The water inlet and drain hoses can be positioned
to the right or left to assist proper installation.

Underbench or built-in appliances should be installed under a continuous surface, which is
attached to adjacent cupboards, in order to ensure that the appliance is stable.

The dishwasher may be installed with the top panel removed.

Electrical Connection

Ensure the voltage and frequency values for the current in your home correspond to those
on the rating plate (located on the stainless steel inner door of your dishwasher), and that the
electrical system is correct for the maximum voltage on the rating plate. Insert the plug into an
electrical socket which is earthed properly (the earthing of the appliance is a safety requirement
mandated by law).

Installation instructions

If the electrical socket to which the appliance must be connected is not appropriate for the plug,
replace the whole cable rather than using adaptors, as adaptors could cause overheating and
burns.

Important!

The dishwasher plug must be accessible even when the appliance is installed as a built-in unit so that
maintenance can be done safely.

If a fault occurs

If the dishwasher malfunctions, turn off the water supply to the appliance and disconnect the
plug from the wall socket. Refer to the ‘Fault codes’ and ‘Troubleshooting’ sections. If you cannot
solve the problem, contact a Fisher & Paykel Authorised Service Centre.
