SAFETY AND WARNINGS
READ AND SAVE THIS GUIDE
When using your DishDrawerTM Dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:
General
z The information in this guide must be followed to minimise the risk of fire or explosion or to prevent property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
z Use the DishDrawerTM Dishwasher only for its intended function as described in this user guide.
z This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as: z staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments z farm houses z by clients in hotels, motels and other residential environments z bed and breakfast environments.
z NSF 184-Certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments.
z 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.
z When loading items to be washed, locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the internal lid of the DishDrawerTM Dishwasher and load sharp knives with the handle up to reduce the risk of cut injuries.
z Do not touch the filter plate in the DishDrawerTM Dishwasher base during or immediately after use, as it may be hot.
z Do not operate your DishDrawerTM Dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.
z Do not tamper with the controls. z Do not abuse, sit on, stand in or on the drawer or dish rack of the
DishDrawerTM Dishwasher. z The drawer should not be left in the open position since this could present a
tripping hazard. z The foldaway cup racks are designed to support cups, glasses and kitchen utensils.
When the foldaway cup racks are in the drawer do not lean on or use them to support your body weight. z To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the DishDrawerTM Dishwasher. z 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 DishDrawerTM 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. z 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 DishDrawerTM Dishwasher when the door is open. z Under no circumstances should you open the drawer whilst the DishDrawerTM Dishwasher is in operation. z Always press to pause and wait until you hear four beeps before opening the drawer. z The DishDrawerTM Dishwasher must be used with the motor assembly, filter plate, drain filter and spray arm in place. To identify what these parts are refer to ‘Maintenance’.
5

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
z Take care not to load dishware items so they prevent the internal lid from properly sealing with the drawer. Items should be placed so they do not protrude above the drawer.
z Cleaning and maintenance shall not be done by children without supervision. z Do not allow children to play inside, on or with this appliance or any
discarded appliance. z If the DishDrawerTM Dishwasher is not being used for long periods of time, turn the
electricity and water supply off. z Household appliances are not intended to be used by children. Children of less than 8
years old must be kept away from the appliance unless continuously supervised. This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above, and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance in a safe way and they understand the hazards involved. z If a dishwasher cleaner is used, we recommend running a wash program with detergent immediately afterward to prevent any damage. z The DishDrawerTM Dishwasher is designed for washing normal household utensils. Items that are contaminated by petrol, paint, steel, iron debris, corrosive, acidic or alkaline chemicals are not to be washed in the DishDrawerTM Dishwasher. z Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked dishwasher safe or equivalent.

FIRST USE

Dishware
The combination of high temperatures and dishwasher detergent may cause damage to some items. Refer to the manufacturer’s guidance or wash by hand if in doubt.

Cutlery & silverware
All cutlery and silverware should be rinsed immediately after use to prevent tarnishing, RINSE cycle is recommended. Silver should not come into contact with stainless steel, mixing these can cause staining. Remove silver cutlery from the DishDrawerTM Dishwasher and hand dry immediately.
Aluminium
Aluminium can be dulled by detergent. The degree of change depends on the quality of the detergent or aluminium.
Other metals
Iron and cast iron can rust and stain other items. Copper, pewter and brass tend to stain.

Glassware
Most glassware is dishwasher safe. Crystal, very fine and antique glassware may etch and will develop a cloudy appearance.
Plastics
Some plastics may change shape or colour with hot water. Refer to the manufacturer’s guide. Dishwasher safe plastic should be weighed down so it does not flip and fill with water or fall through the base rack 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.

Woodware
Woodware is generally sensitive to heat and water. Regular use in the DishDrawerTM Dishwasher may cause deterioration over time.

Glued items
Certain adhesives are softened or dissolved in machine washing.

Water hardness Hard water is water with a high concentration of minerals such as calcium and magnesium. It can be detrimental to the performance of your DishDrawerTM Dishwasher and parts can fail over time. Glassware washed in hard water will become cloudy and dishes will become spotted or covered in a white film over time. Water hardness varies by geographical location. If you live in a hard water area, and your DishDrawerTM Dishwasher does not have a built-in water softener, we recommend fitting a water softener to the household water supply.
If your home has hard water z Refer to ‘Powdered detergent quantity recommendations’. z Use rinse aid. We recommend you raise the rinse aid setting to 5 to help improve wash
performance. Refer to ‘Preferences’ for details. Use a dishwasher cleaner/descaler regularly, or whenever you notice a build-up of limescale deposits in your DishDrawerTM Dishwasher.
If your home has soft or softened water z Avoid using too much detergent.

LOADING SUGGESTIONS
Remove all food scraps from dishware before carefully loading into the drawer. When loading your drawer ensure items are placed so water coming from the rotating spray arm below can reach all areas. Wash performance will be reduced if it can’t.
Ensure z Spray arms can rotate freely. z Glass and other fragile items are stable. z All dish openings are facing downwards. z Plates are evenly spaced. z All sharp objects are located securely to avoid
injury or damage to the product.
Avoid z Overcrowding. z Any protrusions below the racks and basket that
may prevent spray arm rotation. z Any protrusions at the top of the drawer. z Blocking water from any items on the foldaway
cup racks.
maximum dishware height for standard tub models is 280mm and 310mm for tall tub models. 10

WASH PROGRAMS
Your DishDrawerTM Dishwasher has a number of wash programs designed to suit your needs. Selecting the most appropriate cycle for each load will help ensure the best wash results.
The Eco program is the most efficient program in terms of combined energy and water consumption. Loading the dishwasher to capacity will contribute to water and energy savings. Pre-rinsing of tableware items will increase water and energy consumption and is not recommended. Washing tableware with a household dishwasher usually consumes less energy and water than hand washing, when used according to manufacturer’s instructions.

The salt reservoir is located on the inside of the drawer next to the detergent dispenser. It holds up to approximately 0.8lb (350g) of salt (actual capacity will vary depending on brand and grain size of salt used).
Double models: each drawer has a separate salt reservoir.

Water hardness recommendations
z Use the table below to determine the optimal water hardness setting. Your local water company will be able to help.
z If you have a household water softener installed, use the setting recommended for water with a hardness under 100 ppm/6 gpg, irrespective of the water hardness in your area.
z If your water hardness is above 625 ppm/36 gpg, the wash performance of your DishDrawerTM Dishwasher will decline over time. The rinse aid setting should be at 5.

Cleaning surfaces

Wipe with a damp cloth and dry using a lint-free cloth. Take care not to wet the LCD display.

We do not recommend using the following cleaning aids as they may damage the surfaces:

z Plastic or stainless steel scouring pads z Abrasive, solvent, household cleaners z Acid or alkaline cleaners

z Hand washing liquids or soap z Stainless steel cleaners or polishes z Laundry detergents or disinfectants

Cleaning the drain filter, spray arm and filter plate
We recommend that the drain filter and filter plate in each drawer are removed and cleaned once a month or whenever there is evidence of food particles. The spray arm in normal use should require cleaning less frequently. These parts can be shaken to remove any foreign material, cleaned in hot water, then rinsed in clean water.
The DishDrawerTM Dishwasher must be used with the filter plate, drain filter and spray arm correctly in place. We recommend that you always use the DishDrawerTM Dishwasher with the right hand fixed tine rack in place.
If a dishwasher cleaner/descaler is used, you must run a wash program with detergent immediately afterward to prevent any damage to your DishDrawerTM Dishwasher.

Extended periods of disuse
If the DishDrawerTM Dishwasher is not going to be used for some time we recommend turning off the power and water supply, leaving it clean and empty with the drawers ajar.
When using your DishDrawerTM Dishwasher for the first time after a long period away, we recommend pouring 3 cups of water into the drawer before use. This helps lubricate components that may have dried out during dis-use.
