IMPORTANT!

Ensure that drain hose is installed as close to the underside of the benchtop
as possible. This will ensure no waste re-enters the drain hose in the event of
poor flow or a blockage in the plumbing.

Ensure the drain hose does not extend into water retained in the trap.
An air gap is required to prevent waste water from siphoning back into the tub.

@0 CONNECT INLET HOSE TO HOT WATER

Plumbing—Water inlet connection

IMPORTANT!

z

Ensure the appliance is connected to the water main using the supplied new water inlet hose. Do not use old hoses.

z

Do not shorten the inlet hose.

1 Follow the water connection requirements.

z

We recommend a hot water connection.

z

The incoming water temperature should not exceed 140oF.

2 Hot water pressure:

z

Take note of the permitted water pressure extremes.

z

Lowest: 5psi

z

Where pressure is 5psi, contact a qualified plumber.

z

Highest: 140psi

z

Install a pressure reduction valve if pressure is above 140psi. Contact a qualified plumber.

3 Connect the water inlet hose to an accessible water tap with a 3/4” BSP connector.

Ensure that there is no kink in the inlet hose that could restrict the flow of water.
A 90o bend requires a minimum height of 200mm for a kink-free curve.

z

Ensure incoming water is clear. If the water pipes have not been used for a long period of time,
let the water run to make sure it is clear with no impurities. Not doing so may result in the water
inlet hose getting blocked and damaging the appliance.

z

If required, use a filter insert to filter out deposits from the piping. The filter insert is
available from your Fisher&Paykel trained and supported service technician or Customer Care.

4 Tighten the hose coupling a further half turn after seal contact.
5 Check that the connection does not leak.

Ensure the supplied

1 2

rubber washer is fitted
inside the coupling.

Tighten coupling
with spanner.

@1 CONNECT TO POWER

Electrical connection

z

Do not connect the dishwasher to the electrical supply while installation is on-going. Ensure all domestic wiring is properly earthed.

z

Check the rating label (located on the left-hand side of the dishwasher’s stainless steel inner door) and ensure that the voltage and frequency values
for the current in the house correspond to those on the rating label.

z

Insert the plug into a properly earthed power outlet that has a disconnection switch.

IMPORTANT!

z

The earthing of the appliance is a safety requirement mandated by law.

z

If the power cord is not long enough to reach the outlet or the outlet to which the appliance must be connected is not appropriate for the plug, the entire
dishwasher power cord must be replaced. This should only be done by a Fisher&Paykel trained and supported service technician. Do not modify or cut the plug.
Do not use an adaptor, extension cord, or multi-outlet power board to connect the dishwasher to the power supply, as these could cause overheating and
createa fire hazard.

z

The outlet into which the dishwasher is plugged must remain easily accessible (eg in an adjacent cabinet) even when the appliance is installed.
This is to ensure that the dishwasher can be disconnected from the power supply for safe cleaning and maintenance.

21
