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.
2
SAFETY AND WARNINGS
• 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.
• 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.
3
SAFETY AND WARNINGS
• 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 receptacle
is empty after completion of the wash
cycle.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Installation
• This 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
dishwasher, you can order them by
calling your Authorised Repairer or
download them from our local Fisher
& Paykel website, listed on the back
cover.
• Installation and service must be
performed by a qualified technician.
• If the power supply cord is damaged,
it must be replaced by a dealer or
Authorised Repairer or a similar
qualified trades person in order to
avoid a hazard.
• Ensure the dishwasher is secured to
adjacent cabinetry using the brackets
provided. Failure to do so may result
in an unstable product, which may
cause damage or injury.
• Do 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.
5
SAFETY AND WARNINGS
• 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.

cord is located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over or otherwise
subject to damage or stress.
• Do not install or store the dishwasher
where it will be exposed to
temperatures below freezing or
exposed to weather.
• Do 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.
6
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.

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.

your appliance free from the
accumulation of combustible
materials, such as lint, paper, rags and

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
Operational
• Under no circumstances should you
open the drawer whilst the dishwasher
is in operation.
• Always press the
button 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.
9
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 dishwasher.
• Do not wash plastic items unless
they are marked “dishwasher safe”
or equivalent. For plastic items not
so marked, check the manufacturer’s
recommendations.

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 product.
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 that is, become opaque. You may prefer to wash these items by hand.
Plastic
Some plastic may change shape or colour with hot water. Check manufacturer’s
instructions about washing plastic items. Washable 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.

SETTING WASH MODIFIERS (DD***C MODELS ONLY)
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.
IMPORTANT!
●
Only cycles 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 700C/1580F.
Check that all items are ‘dishwasher safe’ before running the sanitize modifier.
●
If the wash is interrupted or the water supply is turned off during the cycle, then the
heating conditions for sanitization may not be met. You may need to run the cycle
again to ensure sanitization of your dishes.
At the end of a wash programme with sanitize, always check the display to make sure
that sanitization has been successful.
If sanitization has been successful:
●
The dishwasher will beep
●
0 will show in the display

An alert code will show in the display
●
The sanitize indicator will not be lit.
●
Check if the water supply has been turned
off or the wash cycle interrupted.
