INTRODUCTION

Thank 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

By now you will be aware that Fisher & Paykel's DishDrawer is a unique
dishwasher, which offers benefits no other dishwasher can.

The DishDrawer takes the everyday kitchen drawer - long recognised 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 - all 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 tall
glasses and awkward serving dishes. The double DishDrawer'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, interchangable inserts the DishDrawer can be arranged to
accommodate the way you live and 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 - including 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

All DishDrawer models make the small, guilt-free load a reality. The DishDrawer
minimizes water and energy consumption with each drawer using less than half the
water of a conventional dishwasher. By washing smaller loads more frequently, you
need never run out of clean dishes.

Gentler Introduction of Detergent

The 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 up to 11.4" in diameter. A
deeper drawer design means large plates can be loaded into the drawer while cups
and glasses can be safely stacked into the two levels.

Fisher & Paykel strongly recommends that you read the information contained in
this Use & Care Manual before using the DishDrawer.

ACCESSORIES

Each DishDrawer is supplied with the following:

· Basket

· Cutlery Basket

· Mega Rack

· Drain Filter Access Panel

· Plate Insert

IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

Warning - When using your DishDrawer, follow

basic precautions, including the following:

For your safety the information in this manual must be followed to minimize
the risk of fire or explosion or to prevent property damage, personal injury or
loss of life.

Please read all instructions before operating the DishDrawer.

 Use the DishDrawer only for its intended function as described in this Use and

Care Manual.

 Use only detergents or wetting agents recommended for use in a Dishwasher

and keep them out of reach of children.

 When loading items to be washed

1. Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the lid seal and

2. Load sharp knives with the handles 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 the 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

 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 faucets and let the water flow
from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen
gas. As 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.

Installation

 This DishDrawer must be installed and located in accordance with the

Installation Instructions before it is used. If you did not receive an Installation
Instruction book with your DishDrawer, you can obtain one by calling toll free
1 888 9 FNP USA (1 888 9 367 872).

 Installation and service must be performed by a qualified technician.

 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 equipment - grounding 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 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 electrician.

 Ensure the DishDrawer is secured to the floor or adjacent joinery using the

brackets provided. Failure to do so may result in an unstable product, which
may cause damage or injury.

Primary Control Buttons

Power

The Power button turns the DishDrawer on and off.

On

When pressing the Power button, a short series of beeps will be emitted, a green light
above the Start / Pause button will flash.

Off

To terminate a wash program, press the Power button. Any remaining water in the
DishDrawer will be pumped out. The green light above the Start / Pause button will
switch off.

8

Start / Pause

This button has a number of functions. It serves to:

· Start the DishDrawer once the desired wash program has been selected.

· Interrupt the wash program while in operation.

To pause the DishDrawer, press the Start / Pause button and wait until you
have heard two additional beeps before you open the drawer, allowing the lid
seal to deflate. While in pause mode, the light above the Start / Pause button
will flash.

· Restart the DishDrawer after being paused.
You may notice a delay after the Start / Pause button has been pressed. During
this time the lid seal will be inflating.

· One Button Start.
This starts the DishDrawer and will run the last wash program used.

NOTE:
Under no circumstances do we recommend that you open the DishDrawer while in
operation unless you have pressed the Start / Pause button. If the drawer is opened

during the wash program, there is a possibility of getting wet, burnt, or damaging the
DishDrawer. There are safety mechanisms in place to stop the DishDrawer if it is
opened.

If a red light appears above the Start / Pause button, check the secondary control panel
and note which lights are lit up. If the red lights above the rinse and fast are lit this
indicates that the door was opened during the wash program. To remove this fault,
ensure the drawer is closed and press Power. The DishDrawer will now be ready to
start from the beginning of the wash program. You may have to add more detergent in
the dispenser and then press Start / Pause button to start the DishDrawer. The
DishDrawer will not restart where it was interrupted after a fault.

Lock

The Lock function disables all the other functions on the
DishDrawer. This function is useful when cleaning the
control panel and can also prevent children from turning
the DishDrawer on or off accidentally. This button can be
used when the DishDrawer is in operation and will remain
active until the Lock is deactivated.

To activate this function, press and hold the Lock button
until the red light above it appears continuously and is no
longer blinking. All the other buttons are now inactive.

To deactivate this function, press and hold Lock button
until the red light above this button has disappeared.

The DishDrawer will automatically start when the time has elapsed.

To cancel the Delay Start, press the Power button or keep pressing until it passes 12
beeps / hour. The light above Start / Pause button will turn green when the Delay Start
has been cancelled.

Secondary Control Panel

Wash Programs

One advantage of two independent DishDrawers is that you can divide the dish loads
according to need. For example, you can wash pots or heavily soiled items on a Heavy
Plus program in one drawer while washing china or glassware on a Delicate Eco Save
program in the other drawer.

When selecting a wash program ensure the control panel inside the drawer is clean
and dry. If not, wipe with a clean dry cloth.

Figure 3 - Secondary Control Panel

Program

This button advances through the wash programs in sequence.
The wash program indicator light can be either red or green. If the light above the
selected wash program is red, it indicates that you have selected a Plus program. If the
light above the wash program is green, an Eco Save program has been chosen.

Rinse

Rinse can be used for dirty dishes that need rinsing and will be washed later. The Eco
Save function has no effect on the Rinse program.

Heavy Wash

This wash is recommended for heavily soiled dishes such as roasting dishes, pots and
dishes with baked on soil.

Normal Wash

This wash can be used for normal everyday dishes.

Fast Wash

This wash is designed for non greasy, lightly soiled dishes.

Delicate Wash

This wash is a gentle program for lightly soiled and heat sensitive crockery.

Program Modifier
Plus Programs (Red)

The Plus Programs uses higher wash temperatures and longer wash times to give optimum
wash and dry performance. The light above the wash program is red to indicate that this
option has been chosen.

Eco Save (Green)

Eco Save saves on energy. It achieves this by using lower wash temperatures and shorter
times and because of this, dry performance may be compromised.
