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.

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.

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.

Check water connection requirements.

Check water pressure.

Connect the water inlet hose to an accessible water tap using a ¾” bsp connector.

Tighten the hose coupling a further half turn after seal contact.

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

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.

Loading tips

Remove all food scraps from dishes before loading them into the dishwasher.

Cups, glasses and bowls must have their openings facing downwards.

Dishes and cutlery should not be placed above each other.

Place glasses so they do not touch each other.

Ensure the spray arms can rotate freely.

Place all large and very dirty items in the lower basket.

Small and light items can go into the upper basket.

Long and narrow items can be placed in the middle of the upper basket.

Place knives and other utensils with sharp tips and edges horizontally into the upper basket or in

the cutlery basket with the handles up. Doing so reduces the risk of cut-type injuries.

Overloading your dishwasher will lead to poor wash performance.

Ensure dishes that are placed in the dishwasher are dishwasher proof.

Caring for your dinnerware

The combination of high temperatures and dishwasher detergent may cause damage to

some items if they are washed in the dishwasher. Remember, if in any doubt about any aspect

concerning items washed in the dishwasher, follow the instructions from the manufacturer of the

items, or wash the item by hand.

Cutlery and silverware

All cutlery and silverware should be rinsed immediately after use to prevent tarnishing caused by

some foods. Silver items should not come into contact with stainless steel, eg other cutlery.

Mixing these items can cause staining. Remove silver cutlery from the dishwasher and hand dry

it immediately after the programme has finished.

Aluminium

Aluminium can be dulled by dishwasher detergent. The degree of change depends on the

quality of the product.

Other metals

Iron and cast iron objects can rust and stain other items. Copper, pewter and brass tend to stain.

Wash these items by hand.

Woodware

Wooden items are generally sensitive to heat and water. Regular use in the dishwasher may

cause deterioration over time. If in doubt, wash by hand.

Glassware

Most everyday glassware is dishwasher safe. Crystal, very fine and antique glassware may etch

that is, become opaque. You may prefer to wash these items by hand.

Plastic

Some plastic may change shape or colour with hot water. Check the manufacturer’s instructions

about washing plastic items. Washable plastic items should be weighed down so they do not flip

over and fill with water or fall through the basket during the wash.

Decorated items

Most modern china patterns are dishwasher safe. Antique items, those with a pattern painted

over the glaze, gold rims or hand-painted china may be more sensitive to machine washing. If in

doubt, wash by hand.

Glued items

Certain adhesives are softened or dissolved in machine washing. If in doubt, wash by hand.

Note:

Do not wash items soiled with cigarette ash, candle wax, varnish, paints or chemicals.

Holiday time

If the dishwasher is not going to be used for some time, we recommend you ensure the baskets

are empty. Leave the inside of the dishwasher clean. Leave the dishwasher door ajar to allow air

to circulate.

Turn off both the power and water supply to the dishwasher.

Dishwasher standards test

Fisher & Paykel dishwashers are tested to AS/NZS 2007 standards for both wash and dry

performance. The following are loading patterns and detergent quantities used for the

dishwasher.

Using rinse aid

We highly recommend using liquid rinse aid regularly to achieve the best drying results. Rinse

aid gives a streak-free, sparkling clean look to glass and chinaware. In addition, it prevents metals

from tarnishing.

If you use detergents or tablets that contain rinse aid, we do not recommend using liquid

rinse aid.

Adding dishwasher detergent

Important!

Dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline and can be dangerous if swallowed.

Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Keep children and infirm persons away from the dishwasher when the door is open.

Check that the detergent receptacle is empty after the completion of the wash cycle - failure to do

so could result in poisoning.

Never sprinkle or pour detergent directly onto any item in the dishwasher.

Hand-washing liquids, soap, laundry detergents or disinfectants will damage your dishwasher.

Only use detergents formulated for use in dishwashers.

How much detergent to use

The lines on the inside of the detergent dispenser will

help you measure the correct amount of detergent.

The detergent dispenser holds a total of 40 cm of detergent.

When the dishwasher is fully loaded and the dishes are very dirty, we recommend filling the

detergent dispenser up to the 25 cm mark.

When the dishes are less dirty, it is generally sufficient to fill the dispenser up to the 15 cm

mark.

If you are using tablet detergent, one tablet is enough.

Filling the detergent dispenser (Fig. 26)

If not already open, open the detergent dispenser

by pushing its latch to the right. The lid will snap

open.

Put the detergent into the detergent dispenser.

Close the lid back until it clicks.

Tips for using detergent

Keep the opened detergent packages in a cool

and dry place where children cannot reach.

Put the detergent into the detergent dispenser

just before running a wash programme.

Excessive usage of powder detergents can cause

the detergent not to dissolve completely and can

also scratch glassware.
