Safety and warnings

Your DishDrawer® has been carefully designed to operate safely during normal dishwashing
procedures. Please keep the following instructions in mind when you are using your
DishDrawer®.

Important safety instructions

WARNING! - When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:
Read all instructions before using the DishDrawer®.
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 DishDrawer® only for its intended function as described in this user guide.
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, locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the
lid seal and load sharp knives with the handle up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
Do not touch the heater plate during or immediately after use.
Do not operate your DishDrawer® 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 DishDrawer®.
The adjustable racks are designed to support cups, glasses and kitchen utensils. When the
adjustable racks are in the DishDrawer® 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 DishDrawer®.
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.
Dishwasher detergents are alkaline. They can be dangerous if swallowed. Avoid contact with
skin and eyes, keep children and infirm persons away from the dishwasher when the drawer is
opened.

Important safety instructions

Installation

This DishDrawer® must be installed and located in accordance with the Installation instructions
before it is used. If you did not receive Installation instruction sheets with your DishDrawer®, you
can order them by calling your Authorised Service Agent or from the Fisher & Paykel website,
www.fisherpaykel.com.
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 Service Centre
or a similar qualified trades person in order to avoid a hazard.
Ensure the DishDrawer® 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.
Do not store or use petrol, or other flammable vapours and liquids in the vicinity of the
DishDrawer®.
Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized power supply circuit to avoid electrical overload.
Make 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.
Do not install or store the DishDrawer® 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 DishDrawer® to the power supply.

Maintenance

Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before any cleaning or maintenance.
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 call an Authorised Service Agent.
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.
When cleaning the underside of the filter plate, care must be taken on the sharp outer edge to
avoid the risk of cut type injuries.

Safety and warnings

Important safety instructions

Important!

Under no circumstances should you open the drawer whilst the DishDrawer® is in operation.

Operational

Always press the
opening the drawer.
The DishDrawer® must be used with the motor assembly, filter plate, drain filter and spray arm in
place.
When disconnecting the appliance pull the plug rather than the power supply cord or junction of
cord to avoid damage.
Take care when loading the DishDrawer® not to load dishware items so they prevent the 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.
Household appliances are not intended to be played with by children. Children or persons with a
disability which limits their ability to use the appliance, should have a responsible person instruct
them in its use. The instructor should be satisfied that they can then use the appliance without
danger to themselves or their surroundings.
Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is used by or near children. Do not allow children
to play inside, on or with this appliance or any discarded appliance.
If a dishwasher cleaner is used, we would strongly recommend a wash programme with detergent
should be run immediately afterward, to prevent any damage to the DishDrawer®.
The DishDrawer® 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 DishDrawer®.
If the DishDrawer® is not being used for long periods of time, turn the electricity and water supply
to the DishDrawer® off.
Do not pour detergent or rinse aid into the salt reservoir. The detergent or rinse aid will destroy
the water softener.
Do not operate your appliance by means of an external timer or separate remote-control system.
