SAFETY AND WARNINGS
Your dishwasher has been carefully designed to operate safely during normal
dishwashing procedures. Please keep the following instructions in mind when you are
using your dishwasher.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• WARNING! - When using your dishwasher, follow
basic precautions, including the following:
• Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
• The information in this manual must be followed to
minimise the risk of fire or explosion or to prevent
property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
• Use the dishwasher only for its intended function as
described in this user guide and in your ‘Quick start
guide’.
• This appliance is intended to be used in household
and similar applications such as:
– staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other
working environments;
– farm houses;
– by clients in hotels, motels and other residential
type environments;
– bed and breakfast type environments.
• NSF 184-Certified residential dishwashers are not
intended for licensed food establishments.
• 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(s) 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
internal lid of the dishwasher and load sharp knives
with the handle up to reduce the risk of cut-type
injuries.
2
SAFETY AND WARNINGS
• Do not touch the filter plate (in the dishwasher base)
during or immediately after use, as it may be hot.
• Do not operate your dishwasher unless all 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 dishwasher.
• The drawer should not be left in the open position
since this could present a tripping hazard.
• 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.
• 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, 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 the 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.
• 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 dishwasher when the door is
open. Check that the detergent dispenser is empty
after completion of the wash program.

outlet device (e.g. multi-socket outlet box) to
connect the dishwasher to the power supply.
4
SAFETY AND WARNINGS
• This 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. This appliance
is equipped with a cord having an equipmentgrounding 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. WARNING - Improper
connection of the equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician or service representative if you
are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the
appliance; if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified technician.
• If the dishwasher is installed as a permanently
connected appliance:
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS - 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.
• Connected models only:
• This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference;
and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
• Do not change or modify the wireless
communication device in any way. Changes or
modifications not expressly approved by Fisher &
Paykel could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Maintenance
• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply
before any cleaning or maintenance.
• When disconnecting the appliance pull the plug
rather than the power supply cord or junction of
cord to avoid damage.
• 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 contact Customer Care to arrange service.
See your ‘Service and warranty’ booklet for contact
details.
• 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.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
Operational
• Under no circumstances should you open the drawer
whilst the dishwasher is in operation.
• Always press the
button OR knock on the front
of the drawer (DD*I models only) to pause and wait
until you hear the four additional beeps before
opening the drawer.
• The dishwasher must be used with the motor
assembly, filter plate, drain filter and spray arm in
place. To identify what these parts are, see drawings
in section ‘User maintenance instructions’ of this user
guide.
• Take care when loading the drawer 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 and/or forced
into the drawer, otherwise a service call may result.
• Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be done by
children without supervision.
• Do not allow children to play inside, on or with this
appliance or any discarded appliance.
• If the dishwasher is not being used for long periods
of time, turn the electricity and water supply to the
dishwasher off.
7
SAFETY AND WARNINGS
• Household appliances are not intended to be played
with 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.
• 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 dishwasher.
• The dishwasher 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

CARING FOR YOUR DINNERWARE
The combination of high temperatures and dishwasher detergent may cause damage
to some items if they are washed in the dishwasher. Remember, if in any doubt about
any aspect concerning items washed in the dishwasher, follow the instructions from the
manufacturer of the items, or wash the item by hand.
Cutlery & silverware
All cutlery and silverware should be rinsed immediately after use to prevent tarnishing
caused by some foods. The Rinse wash program is useful for this. Silver items should not
come into contact with stainless steel, eg other cutlery. Mixing these items can cause
staining. Remove silver cutlery from the dishwasher and hand dry it immediately after
the program has finished.
Aluminium
Aluminium can be dulled by dishwasher detergent. The degree of change depends on
the quality of the detergent or aluminium.
Other metals
Iron and cast iron objects can rust and stain other items. Copper, pewter and brass tend
to stain.
Woodware
Wooden items are generally sensitive to heat and water. Regular use in the dishwasher
may cause deterioration over time. If in doubt, wash by hand.
Glassware
Most everyday glassware is dishwasher safe. Crystal, very fine and antique glassware
may etch and will develop a cloudy appearance. You may prefer to wash these items by
hand.
Plastics
Some plastics may change shape or colour with hot water. Check manufacturer’s
instructions about washing plastic items. Dishwasher safe plastic items should be
weighed down so they do not flip over 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. If in doubt, wash by hand.
Glued items
Certain adhesives are softened or dissolved in machine washing. If in doubt, wash by
hand.

LOADING SUGGESTIONS
When loading your drawer, make sure that
●
you place items so that water coming from the rotating spray arms below can reach all
areas (wash performance will be reduced if it can’t)
●
nothing blocks the water from getting to items on the foldaway cup racks
●
glass and other fragile items are stable, so that they do not accidentally topple and
break during the wash.
How NOT to load your drawer
●
By overcrowding, wash water will not
reach some of the dinnerware.
●
Cups, glasses and bowls must have
their openings facing down.
●
Ensure dishware items are not forced
into or protrude out of the drawer, as this
may prevent the internal lid of the drawer
from properly sealing which could result
in a service call.
●
Locate sharp items safely to prevent
injuring the user and damage the lid
assembly.
●
Check the bottom of the cutlery basket
to ensure sharp or slim pointed items
have not come through too far as they
may stop spray arm rotation.
20
●
The plates are nesting together and
wash water may not get through.
●
Ensure cutlery are not nesting or stuck
together. They need to be evenly spread
out.
●
Ensure cutlery has not fallen through the
base rack and stopped the spray arms
from rotating.
●
The large bowl is blocking wash water
reaching items on the foldaway cup racks.
●
Large utensils should be placed on
the foldaway cup racks so they do not
become dislodged and stop the spray
arms from rotating.
●
Sharp or pointed items must be placed
horizontally or with sharp edges/points
facing down to avoid risk of injury.
WATER HARDNESS AND DISHWASHING
What is water hardness?
Hard water is water with a high concentration of minerals such as calcium and
magnesium. In soft water, this concentration is low. Water hardness varies by
geographical location.
How does water hardness affect dishwashing?
●
Hard water can be detrimental to the performance of your dishwasher. Over time,
glassware washed in hard water will become cloudy and dishes will become spotted or
covered in a white film. Using very hard water can cause dishwasher parts to fail over
time.
●
Naturally soft or softened water has no detrimental effects if used with the correct
amount of detergent. However, excess detergent combined with hot, soft water may
cause irreversible etching on glassware. Etching first appears as a rainbow-coloured film
and — if allowed to continue — can make glassware permanently opaque.
What can I do to minimise any detrimental effects?
Contact your local water company to find out about water hardness in your area.
Note:
●
Some models (those with a letter ‘H’ in the model name) have a built-in water softener.
●
Models with water softener are not currently available in New Zealand and Australia.
If your home has hard water and your dishwasher has no built-in water softener:
●
Follow the detergent quantity recommendations on the following pages.
●
If available, use a detergent with high phosphate content. Phosphate softens the
water and this improves wash results. If detergent with phosphate is not available, we
recommend using multi-purpose tablets.
●
Use rinse aid. We recommend you raise the rinse aid setting to 5 to help improve wash
performance. See quickstart guide for instructions.
●
Use a dishwasher cleaner/descaler regularly, or whenever you notice a build-up of
limescale deposits in your dishwasher.
IMPORTANT!
If your dishwasher has no built-in water softener and you live in a hard water area,
we recommend fitting a water softener to the household water supply. If the water
hardness in your home is above 250 ppm/14.6 gpg (US), a water softener has to be
fitted to maintain the performance of your dishwasher.
If your home has naturally soft or softened water:
●
Avoid using too much detergent. Follow the quantity recommendations on the following
pages.
●
Ensure the drawer is not overloaded and water can reach all the dishes.
21
WASH PROGRAMS AND POWDERED DETERGENT QUANTITIES
●
Find out about water hardness in your home, then use the table below to determine
how much powdered detergent to use for each wash program. See also section ‘Water
hardness and dishwashing’.
●
For information on which program to use for your load, see your ‘Quick start guide’.
●
The main powdered detergent dispenser has markings to help you measure the correct
quantities. See following section ‘Adding detergent’.

* If you have a household water softener installed or for models with built-in water softeners, use the
quantities recommended for water with a hardness under 100 ppm/6 gpg, irrespective of the water hardness in
your area. See also section ‘Water softener’.
Notes:
If your water hardness is above 625ppm/36 gpg, we highly recommend you completely
fill the main detergent dispenser for all programs (except Rinse) and the secondary
dispenser for heavily soiled loads. The rinse aid setting should be at 5.
If your water hardness is above 625ppm/36 gpg, the wash performance of your
dishwasher will decline.

Notes on using tablets
●
If you are using tablets, follow manufacturer instructions on the packet. Some tablets
may not be suitable for all wash programs.
●
Using tablets could improve wash performance in hard water areas.
●
Make sure that tablets never get in direct contact with dishes or cutlery.
●
If you are using dishwasher tablets with a built-in rinse aid component, we recommend
turning off the rinse aid. See your ‘Quick start guide’ for instructions.
IMPORTANT!
Dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline. They can be extremely dangerous if
swallowed. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes and keep children and infirm persons
away from the dishwasher when it is open. Check that the powdered detergent
dispenser is empty after completion of the wash program.
26
USING RINSE AID
●
We recommend using liquid rinse aid regularly to give the best drying results.
●
Rinse aid gives a streak-free, sparkling clean look to glass and chinaware. It also
prevents metal from tarnishing.
●
The rinse aid dispenser is on the inside of the drawer, underneath the detergent
dispenser.
●
It holds approximately 50 ml / 1.7 fl oz of rinse aid.
●
You may hear some unusual, high-pitched beeping when rinse aid is
being dispensed. This is normal.
When to refill rinse aid
●
If the indicator glows or flashes bright red, refill rinse aid.

need to refill: there is enough rinse aid for the wash.
Note: Lighter coloured rinse aids will not dim the
indicator as effectively as darker ones.
How to refill rinse aid
1 Turn the plug anticlockwise and remove.
2 Pour rinse aid into the circular opening, taking care not to spill any
into the drawer.
IMPORTANT!
Any accidental spillages of rinse aid must be wiped up.
If not wiped up, spilt rinse aid will cause excessive foaming,
which may result in a service call that will not be covered
by warranty.
3 Refit the plug, then turn it clockwise back to its original position.
IMPORTANT!
Make sure that the plug is closed tight, with its hand grip
in a vertical position.
How much rinse aid to use
You may need to adjust the amount of rinse aid dispensed in
each wash to suit your water conditions. The lowest setting
is ‘0 (off)’, the highest is ‘5’. See the ‘Preference options’
for instructions on how to change the rinse aid setting.
●
If there is excessive foam at the end of the wash, reduce the
setting.
●
If dishes are wet or streaky after drying, increase the setting.
●
If you live in a hard water area and you have no water softener
installed in your water supply or built into your dishwasher,
we recommend adjusting the rinse aid setting to 5.

WATER SOFTENER (SOME MODELS ONLY)
IMPORTANT!
●
Only models with a letter ‘H’ in the model name have a built-in water softener.
●
Models with water softener are not currently available in New Zealand and Australia.
●
Models without built-in water softener:
If living in an area with very hard water, consult a plumber on installing a household
water softener.
Setting up the water softener
Determine the water hardness in your local area
Your local water company will be able to provide you with information. Identify the
setting you require for your dishwasher from the water hardness table below. For
example, if your water hardness is 500ppm, then the water softener setting on your
dishwasher should be 4. Refer to the ‘Preference options’ section of your ‘Quick start
guide’ for instructions on adjusting the water softener setting.

If your water hardness is above 625ppm/36 gpg, we highly recommend you completely
fill the detergent dispenser for all programs except Rinse, and the rinse aid setting
should be at 5. If your water hardness is above 625ppm/36 gpg, the wash performance
of your dishwasher will decline.

USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT!
Disconnect the dishwasher from the power supply (unplug or switch off at the circuit
breaker) and allow all its parts to cool before any cleaning or maintenance.
Holiday time
●
If the dishwasher is not going to be used for some time, we recommend you leave
it clean and empty. Leave the drawers ajar to allow air to circulate. Turn off both the
power and water supply to the dishwasher.
When using your dishwasher for the first time after a long period away, we recommend
pouring 3 cups of water into the drawer before loading and starting a wash. This is to
lubricate components that may have dried out during non-use.
●
If the dishwasher is installed in a cold climate where temperatures fall below zero, we
also recommend winterizing.
Winterizing (Cold climates only)
1 Disconnect the dishwasher from the power supply,
2 Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.
3 Drain water from the inlet pipe and water valve, using a bucket or pan to collect the
water.
4 Reconnnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.
5 Remove the drain filter and the filter plate from the bottom of the drawer and use a
sponge to remove any remaining water underneath.
6 Replace the drain filter and the filter plate, and completely dry all water from inside the
dishwasher.
7 Disconnect the drain hose(s) from the sink drain pipe and completely drain all remaining
water from the hose(s). Reconnect the drain hose(s) to the sink drain pipe.
