Important!
Please note, some models shown in this book are not available in all markets. It is important
that the Installation instructions/User Guide should be retained with the appliance for future
reference. Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, always ensure that
the Installation instructions/User Guide is left with the appliance in order that the new owner
can familiarise themselves with the appliance and the relevant warnings.

Installation instructions
Before you start
These instructions are intended as a
guide only. It is the responsibility of the
Plumber and Electrician to ensure that each
installation complies with the Government
Regulations and Local Government ByLaws.
Lifting & Removing the Dishwasher
We recommend two people should move
the dishwasher, with one person standing
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
on each side. Always lift from the step at
the lower rear of the dishwasher. Hold
the dishwasher level by placing your other
hand at the top of the door on the front.
Never Lift From the Door Handle
Do not lift from the decorative panel on the
front of the dishwasher. Always be careful
with the hoses and the power cord at the
back of the dishwasher. Careful handling
will prevent damage and malfunction from
squashing, kinking or cuts.
This dishwasher must not be connected to
an under sink high pressure “push through”
type hot water system, as damage to the
system will result. If in doubt as to the
suitability of your system, consult your
Plumber.
The dishwasher should not be connected
to a hot water system where the
temperature exceeds 75°C, or where there
is no temperature control, i.e. a wet back
system, unless the system is fitted with a
suitable tempering valve.
While installing the dishwasher, check the
drain hose is not restricted or kinked.
Do not remove the insulation blanket from
the rear of the product. This is not part of
the packaging. It provides sound and heat
insulation.

Plumbing
Drainage
The recommended method of installation
for a Fisher & Paykel DW920 and DW820
Dishwasher is shown in Diagrams 1, 2 & 3
on Page 5. The diagrams are designed to
eliminate problems that often occur with
combined sink-dishwasher waste systems.
The standpipe must have a minimum inside
diameter of 38mm and stand 750mm
above the floor. A drain hose support is
provided to hold the drain hose in place in
the standpipe (see Diagrams 1 and 2). It is
not recommended that the drain hose or
drain pipe be connected directly to a waste
disposal unit (see Diagram 2).
When connecting the drain hose to a sink
trap with a drain hose spigot, it is important
that the drain hose is supported to the
height of the bench (see Diagram 3). Ensure
the drain spigot has a minimum hole size of
15mm and that it has been drilled out.
Water Valve Connections
Both Fisher & Paykel Dishwasher Models
DW920 and DW820 have single valve
water connections. We recommend a cold
water connection to give the best wash
performance and energy efficiency.
Water Supply
The dishwasher inlet hose must be
connected to an accessible water tap. The
water supply to the dishwasher should be
through a 15mm minimum domestic water
pipe. The inlet hose connects to the water
supply tap using a 20mm BSP male thread.
The tap must have an adequate sealing face
for the flat washer supplied, to ensure the
hose connections
are water tight.
Hose coupling must
be tightened a further
half turn after seal
contact.
MAX Ø20mm
MIN Ø15mm
To Change the Setup for a hot or cold
water supply
This is only required on a Fisher & Paykel
DW920 model.
1
Press the POWER button to turn the
Dishwasher off.
2
Hold the ECO button for 15 seconds and
the dishwasher will beep. On the time
Display, “H” or “C” will be displayed. “H”
represents Hot water connection and “C”
represents Cold water connection.
3
Press the START/PAUSE button to toggle
between “H” and “C”. Once the appropriate
option is chosen.
4
Press the POWER button. This will save the
option you have chosen.
The hot water supply should ideally be
at a temperature of 60-65°C at the point
of entry to the dishwasher and must not
exceed 75°C.
The water pressure to the dishwasher shall
be no less than 30kPa (4.3psi) and no more
than 960kPa (140psi).
Note: DW920 is set up for connection to
cold water when it leaves the factory.
Levelling
Before sliding the dishwasher into position,
adjust the levelling feet to ensure that the
dishwasher is level at the required height.
Check that the door opens and closes
without striking the side of the cabinet. If
necessary, readjust the levelling feet slightly
(see Figure A).
IMPORTANT!
If the door strikes the side of the cabinet,
a poor door seal may result in the
product leaking.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Once the required height is obtained, slide
the service panel down to cover the feet
(see Figure B).
Installation
Once installed, the dishwasher’s rear
levelling feet must be anchored to the
floor to prevent the dishwasher from
tilting forward when the baskets are being
loaded with dishes. Two anchor plates,
with screws, are provided for this purpose.
A template and instructions for locating
the correct position of the anchor plates is
printed on the top cardboard spacer of the
external packaging of the product.
Built-In Installation
Where the dishwasher is installed in an
under bench situation, ensure that bare
wood surrounding the dishwasher is sealed
with an oil based paint or moisture-proof
polyurethane to prevent possible steam
damage.

Introduction
Fisher & Paykel strongly recommend that you read the information contained in this User
Guide before using the dishwasher.
After your Dishwasher has been installed, please check that:
1
The Dishwasher has been installed in accordance with installation instructions.
2
There are no water leaks from the hose connections which can be seen under the Dishwasher
or at the tap.
First use
Before you start, check the following:
The power cord is plugged in and the switch is on.
The inlet hose is connected and the tap is turned on.
The drain hose is installed correctly.
We recommend a cold water connection to achieve the best wash performance and lowest
overall energy consumption. A hot fill connection should be used if faster times are desired
or if an alternative hot water supply such as night rate electricity, solar heating or wetback is
desired.

If a power failure occurs and the Dishwasher is in the middle of a wash programme, it will
stop. Once the power is restored, the dishwasher will restart that part of the wash sub cycle
again and continue on with the wash programme. Extra detergent may be required, if the
dishwasher was disrupted in the main part of the programme.
