Safety and warnings
Important safety precautions
For your safety, follow basic precautions when using your dishwasher, including the following:
Please read all instructions before operating your dishwasher.
The information in this user guide must be followed to minimise the risk of fire or explosion, or to
prevent property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
Operational
Use the dishwasher only for its intended function as described in this user guide.
Dishwasher detergents are alkaline. They can be dangerous if swallowed. Avoid contact with skin
and eyes, and keep children and infirm persons away from the dishwasher when the door is open.
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, place sharp items where they are not likely to damage the
dishwasher and load sharp knives and other sharp items with the handles up or in a horizontal
position to reduce the risk of cut type injuries.
Do not tamper with the controls of your dishwasher.
Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish rack of your dishwasher. Do not place any
heavy objects on the door when it is open. The dishwasher could tip forward.
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, then 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 hydrogen 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.
Open the door very carefully if the dishwasher is in operation. There is a risk of being sprayed
with hot water. Do not open the door fully until the spray arm has stopped rotating.
The door should not be left in the open position as this could present a tripping hazard.
When disconnecting the dishwasher, pull by the plug rather than the cable or junction of cable to
avoid damage.
Children or persons with a disability which limits their ability to use the appliance, should have
a responsible person to instruct them in its use. The instructor should be satisfied that they can
use the appliance without danger to themselves or their surroundings. Young children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the dishwasher.
The water inside the dishwasher is not suitable for drinking.
This dishwasher is designed for washing normal household utensils. Items that are contaminated
by petrol, paint, steel or iron debris, or corrosive, acidic or alkaline chemicals are not to be
washed in this dishwasher.
If the dishwasher is not being used for long periods of time, turn the electricity and water supply
to the dishwasher off.
Safety and warnings
Installation
This dishwasher must be installed and positioned in accordance with the ‘Installation
instructions’ before it is used. The installing plumber and electrician are responsible for ensuring
that installation complies with applicable laws and regulations.
Installation and service should be performed by a qualified technician.
If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or Authorised
Service Centre or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
Ensure the dishwasher is placed between cabinetry. Failure to do so may result in an unstable
product, which may cause damage or injury.
The appliance should be connected to the water main using only the new hose supplied. Old hose
sets should not be used.
Underbench installation: To prevent possible steam damage to the cabinetry, ensure the
bare wood surrounding the dishwasher is sealed with an oil-based paint or moisture-proof
polyurethane.
Do not operate this dishwasher if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled or has
missing or broken parts, including a damaged power supply cable or plug.
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.
Make sure that the power supply cable is positioned where it will not be stepped on, tripped over,
or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
Do not install or store the dishwasher where it will be exposed to the weather or temperatures
below freezing.
Do not use an extension cable or portable electrical outlet device (eg multi-outlet power board)
to connect the dishwasher to the power supply.
3
Maintenance
Do not repair or replace any part of the dishwasher or attempt any servicing unless specifically
recommended in this user guide. We recommend that you call a Fisher & Paykel Authorised
Service Agent.
This symbol on the inlet hose water valve box denotes that, cautions need to be taken when
handling the inlet hose water valve while the product is connected to power supply, because the
working voltage of the water valve exceeds 50V~.
Keep the floor around your dishwasher clean and dry to reduce the possibility of slipping.
Keep the area around and underneath your dishwasher free from the accumulation of
combustible materials, such as lint, paper, rags and chemicals.
When cleaning the underside of the filter, take care on the sharp outer edge to avoid the risk of
cut type injuries.
If the dishwasher is not operating properly or requires maintenance, disconnect the dishwasher
from the power supply.

Installation instructions
Before you start
Carefully read through the ‘Safety and warnings’ section of this document.
Check the packaging and the dishwasher for signs of transport damage. If there is any damage,
do not install the dishwasher but contact your Fisher & Paykel Authorised Service Centre or
dealer.
The dishwasher must not be connected to the power supply during installation.
Never lift the dishwasher from the door handle or the top panel.
Always be careful with the hoses and the power supply cable at the back of the dishwasher.
Careful handling will prevent malfunction from squashing, kinking or cuts.
The dishwasher should be connected to a cold water system only. The incoming water
temperature should not exceed 60 ºC.
The dishwasher must not be connected to an undersink high-pressure “push-through”-type hot
water system, as damage to the system will result.
Underbench or built-in appliances should be installed under a continuous surface which is
attached to adjacent cupboards, in order to ensure that the appliance is stable.

Installation instructions
Connecting the water inlet hose
Important!
The appliance should be connected to the water main using only the new hose supplied with the
dishwasher. Old hose sets should not be used.
1
Check water connection requirements.
2
Check water pressure.
3
Connect the water inlet hose to an accessible water tap using a ¾” bsp connector.
4
Tighten the hose coupling a further half turn after seal contact.
5
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
6
Check that the connection does not leak.
The dishwasher has a single valve water connection.
We recommend a cold water connection.
The incoming water temperature should not exceed 60 ºC.
Permitted water pressure extremes
Lowest: 0.3 bar = 3 N/cm2 = 30kPa
When pressure is below 1 bar, contact a qualified technician.
Highest: 10 bar = 100n/cm2 = 1MPa
When pressure is above 10 bar, a pressure reduction valve must
be installed. Contact a qualified technician.
The valve box of the AQUASAFE+ anti-flood protection system is already fitted on the hose.
For details, see ‘About the AQUASAFE+ anti-flood protection system’ below.
If required, use a filter insert (Part No. 420016P) to filter out deposits from the piping. It is
available from the nearest Authorised Service Agent.

About the AQUASAFE + anti-flood protection system
The Aquasafe+ System protects against water damage by stopping the water flowing in the
event of a damaged hose or a leak within the machine.
Do not immerse the system’s valve box into water; it contains electrical components.
In case of damage, pull out the power supply plug.
Do not shorten or lengthen the water inlet hose insert as it contains electrical cables and
components.
Connecting the drain hose
For drain hose connection options and requirements, see the illustrations opposite.
If a drain hose extension is required, a drain hose of equal quality and not longer than 4 m must
be used. Using a hose longer than 4 m will produce poorer cleaning results.

Installation instructions
Electrical connection
Ensure all domestic wiring is properly earthed.
Ensure the voltage and frequency values for the current in your home correspond to those on
the rating plate and that the electrical system is correct for the maximum voltage on the rating
plate. For the location of the rating plate, see Fig.2, no.13.
Insert the plug into a properly earthed switched outlet. Earthing the appliance is a safety
requirement prescribed by law.
If the power outlet to which the appliance must be connected is not appropriate for the plug,
replace the whole cable. Do not use adaptors as they can cause overheating and burns.
The dishwasher plug must be accessible even when the appliance is installed as a built-in unit
so that maintenance can be done safely and the customer can disconnect the appliance if
necessary.
Disposing of packaging and old appliance
Some of the packaging material is recyclable. Check the symbols and labels and recycle if
possible. Help protect the environment.
To avoid children getting trapped or injured while playing with an old appliance, ensure you
remove any doors, door locks and cables from the appliance.
