SAFETY AND WARNINGS
Your dishwasher has been carefully designed to operate safely during normal
dishwashing procedures. Please keep the following instructions in mind when you are
using your dishwasher.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the
following:
●
Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
●
The information in this manual must be followed to minimise the risk of fire or
explosion or to prevent property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
●
Use the dishwasher only for its intended function as described in this user guide.
●
This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as:
– staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments;
– farm houses;
– by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type environments;
– bed and breakfast type environments.
●
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
program.
●
When loading items to be washed, locate sharp items so that they are not likely to
damage the dishwasher and load sharp knives with the handle up to reduce the risk of
cut-type injuries.
●
Do not touch the filter plate (the metal disc in the dishwasher base) during or
immediately after use, as it may be hot from the heater plate underneath.
●
Do not tamper with the controls.
●
Do not abuse, sit in, stand on the door or dish rack of the dishwasher.
●
Do not lean on the adjustable racks or use them to support your body weight.
●
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, 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 the 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.
●
Some dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline. They can be extremely dangerous
if swallowed. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes and keep children away from the
dishwasher when the door is open. Check that the detergent receptacle is empty after
completion of the wash cycle.
●
Certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments.

sprayed with hot water. Do not open the door fully until the spray arms have stopped
rotating.

The door should not be left in the open position as this could present a tripping
hazard.

SETTING WASH MODIFIERS (DW60FC6 MODELS ONLY)
Using sanitize
The sanitize wash modifier adjusts the wash programme to meet the conditions required
by Section 6, NSF 184 for sanitization to occur.
While sanitize is running, the wash programme is monitored to ensure that these
conditions are met.

For sanitization to occur, the temperature of the water needs to reach 700C. Check
that all items in the dishwasher are dishwasher safe before running the sanitize
modifier.
●
If the wash is interrupted or the water supply is turned off during the cycle, then the
heating conditions for sanitization may not be met. You may need to run the cycle
again to ensure sanitization of your dishes.
●
Only cycles utilising the sanitize wash modifier are designed to meet the conditions
required by Section 6, NSF 184. Other wash programs may not reach the temperatures
required for sanitization to occur. See table on previous page for wash programs that
have sanitize available

that sanitization has been successful.
