Your DishDrawer® has been carefully designed to operate safely during normal dishwashing

procedures. Please keep the following instructions in mind when you are using your

DishDrawer®.

Important safety instructions

WARNING! - When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:

Read all instructions before using the DishDrawer®.

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 DishDrawer® 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 programme.

When loading items to be washed, locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the

lid seal and load sharp knives with the handle up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.

Do not touch the heater plate during or immediately after use.

Do not operate your DishDrawer® unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.

Do not tamper with the controls.

Do not abuse, sit on, stand in or on the drawer or dish rack of the DishDrawer®.

The DishDrawer should not be left in the open position since this could present a tripping

hazard.

The adjustable racks are designed to support cups, glasses and kitchen utensils. When the

adjustable racks are in the DishDrawer® do not lean on or use them to support your body

weight.

To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the DishDrawer®.

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.

Safety and warnings

Important safety instructions

Installation

This DishDrawer® must be installed and located in accordance with the Installation instructions

before it is used. If you did not receive Installation instruction sheets with your DishDrawer®, you

can order them by calling your Authorised Repairer or download them from our local Fisher &

Paykel website, listed on the back cover.

Installation and service must be performed by a qualified technician.

If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a dealer or Authorised Repairer or a

similar qualified trades person in order to avoid a hazard.

Ensure the DishDrawer® is secured to adjacent cabinetry using the brackets provided. Failure to

do so may result in an unstable product, which may cause damage or injury.

Do not operate this appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled or has

missing or broken parts, including a damaged power supply cord or plug.

Do not store or use petrol, or other flammable vapours and liquids in the vicinity of the

DishDrawer®.

Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized power supply circuit to avoid electrical overload.

Make sure that the power supply cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over or

otherwise subject to damage or stress.

Do not install or store the DishDrawer® where it will be exposed to temperatures below freezing

or exposed to weather.

Do not use an extension cord or a portable electrical outlet device (e.g. multi-socket outlet box)

to connect the DishDrawer® to the power supply.

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will

reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This

appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding

plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded

in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. WARNING - Improper connection of the

equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified

electrician or service representative if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly

grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance; if it will not fit the outlet, have a

proper outlet installed by a qualified technician.

If the DishDrawer® is installed as a permanently connected appliance:

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS - This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent

wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors

and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.

4Safety and warnings

Important safety instructions

Maintenance

Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before any cleaning or maintenance.

Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically

recommended in this user guide. We recommend that you call an Authorised Repairer.

Keep the floor around your appliance clean and dry to reduce the possibility of slipping.

Keep the area around/underneath your appliance free from the accumulation of combustible

materials, such as lint, paper, rags and chemicals.

Important!

Under no circumstances should you open the drawer whilst the DishDrawer® is in operation.

Operational

Always press the button to pause and wait until you hear the three additional beeps before

opening the drawer.

The DishDrawer® must be used with the motor assembly, filter plate, drain filter and spray arms in

place.

When disconnecting the appliance pull the plug rather than the power supply cord or junction of

cord to avoid damage.

Take care when loading the DishDrawer® not to load dishware items so they prevent the lid from

properly sealing with the drawer. Items should be placed so they do not protrude above and/or

forced into the drawer, otherwise a service call may result.

Household appliances are not intended to be played with by children. Children or persons with a

disability which limits their ability to use the appliance, should have a responsible person instruct

them in its use. The instructor should be satisfied that they can then use the appliance without

danger to themselves or their surroundings.

Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is used by or near children. Do not allow children

to play inside, on or with this appliance or any discarded appliance.

If a dishwasher cleaner is used, we would strongly recommend a wash programme with detergent

should be run immediately afterward, to prevent any damage to the DishDrawer®.

The DishDrawer® is designed for washing normal household utensils. Items that are

contaminated by petrol, paint, steel or iron debris, corrosive, acidic or alkaline chemicals are not

to be washed in the DishDrawer®.

If the DishDrawer® is not being used for long periods of time, turn the electricity and water supply

to the DishDrawer® off.

Do not operate your appliance by means of an external timer or separate remote-control system.

For Great Britain only

Important!

This appliance must be earthed.

Fuse replacement

The mains lead of this appliance is fitted with a

BS 1363A 13 A fused plug. To change a fuse in

this type of plug, use an ASTA approved fuse to

BS 1362 type and proceed as follows:

Remove the fuse cover and fuse.

Fit the replacement 13A fuse into the fuse cover.

Refit both into plug.

Important!

The fuse cover must be refitted when changing a fuse and if the fuse cover is lost, the plug

must not be used until a correct replacement is fitted.

Correct replacements are identified by the colour insert or the colour embossed in words on

the base of the plug.

Replacement fuse covers are available from your local electrical store.

For the Republic of Ireland

The information given in respect to Great Britain will frequently apply, but a third type of plug

and socket is also used: the 2-pin, side earth type.

Socket outlet / plug (valid for both countries)

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlet, please contact an Authorised Service

Agent. Please do not attempt to change the plug yourself. This procedure must be carried out

by a qualified service technician in compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions and current

standard safety regulations.
