INTRODUCTION
I hank you and congratulations for making the wise decision in purchasing your
Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer. Every care has been taken in designing and
manufacturing your appliance. We are sure that you will enjoy using your
DishDrawer and will soon appreciate its many benefits. We wish you many years of
satisfying use.
Unique Features of Your DishDrawer TM
By now you will be aware that fisher & Paykel's DM_Drawer is a unique
dishwasher, which offers benefits no other dishwasher can.
I he DishDrawer takes the everyday kitchen drawer - long recoguised as the most
efficient, easy to access storage system in the kitchen - and turns it into the most
advanced dishwasher in the world.
If you have chosen a double DishDrawer, or more than one single DishDrawer, you
will have totally separate, independently operated washing units, introducing loading
and washing possibilities that have never before been possible.
Now you can treat precious glassware to a delicate wash and give pots and pans the
heavy duty treatment - a[[ at the same time.
The Clutter-Free Counter Top Becomes A Reality
Now it really is possible to keep your counter top free from everyday clutter like tail
glasses and awkward servh/g dM_es. I he double DM_Drawer's spacious
configuration gives you many new ways to load your machine - and use it.
Used cleverly, two DishDrawers can even provide extra kitchen storage. Use clean
dishes directly from one drawer and load them back into the other drawer when dirty.
Design Your Own Rack System
With flexible, interchangab[e inserts the DishDrawer can be arranged to
accommodate the way you live al_d the dishes you use most often. Inserts are easy to
remove so it is easy to change your layout as your daily needs change.
If you have two DishDrawers, you can arrange one drawer for all your lightly soiled
cups, saucers and fine glassware - h/c[uding long-stemmed glasses - and wash them
using a delicate cycle. Set up your other drawer for your more robust, heavily-soiled
items like plates, pots and pans. Inserts can easily be removed completely to fit
awkward preparation or serving dishes.
The Guilt-Free Small Load
A[I DishDrawer models make the small, gui[t-iree load a reality. I he DishDrawer
minimizes water and energy consumption with each drawer using less than hall the
water of a conventional dishwasher. By washing smaller loads more frequently, you
need never run out of clean dishes.
Gentler Introduction of Detergent
I he DishDrawer's innovative detergent dispenser thoroughly pre-mixes water with
detergent before it is introduced into the drawer, so your delicate dishes are protected
from "detergent burn". Precise markings inside the dispenser ensure you never use
too much or too little detergent for each program.
Big On the inside
Each DishDrawer has been carefully designed to give you more usable space than
ever before.
Each DishDrawer can accommodate 12 large dinner plates lip to 11.4" in diameter. A
deeper drawer design means large plates can be loaded into the drawer while clips
and glasses can be safely stacked into the two levels.
Fisher & Payke[ strongly recommends that you read the information contained in
this Use & Care Manual before using the D[shDrawer.
ACCESSORIES
Each DishDrawer is supplied with the following:
* Basket
* Cutlery Basket
* Mega Rack
* Drain Filter Access Panel
