SAFETY AND WARNINGS

READ AND SAVE THIS GUIDE
When using your 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 Dishwasher only for its intended function as described in this 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 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 Dishwasher base during or immediately after use, as it may be hot. z Do not operate your 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 door or dish rack of the Dishwasher. z The door 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. Do not lean on or use the foldaway cup racks to support your body weight. z To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the 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 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 Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old Dishwasher from service or discarding it. 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 Dishwasher when the door is open. z The Dishwasher must be used with the filter plate, filter, and spray arms in place. To identify what these parts are refer to ‘Maintenance’. z If the Dishwasher is not being used for long periods of time, turn the electricity and water supply off. z Cleaning and maintenance shall not be done by children without supervision. z Take care not to load dishware items so they prevent the door from closing.
5

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
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 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 Dishwasher.
z Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked dishwasher safe or equivalent. For plastic items not marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.
z Avoid washing containers with glued on labels. Labels removed during a wash cycle may cause damage to the wash system.
Installation
z This Dishwasher must be installed and located in accordance with the Installation instructions before it is used. If you did not receive Installation instructions with your Dishwasher, you can order them by calling your Authorised Repairer or download them from our local Fisher & Paykel website, listed on the back cover.
z Installation and service must be performed by a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician.
z If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician or a qualified trades person in order to avoid a hazard.
z Ensure the Dishwasher 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.
z 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.
z Do not store or use petrol, or other flammable vapours and liquids in the vicinity of the Dishwasher.
z Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized power supply circuit to avoid electrical overload.
z Ensure the power supply cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subject to damage or stress.
z Do not install or store the Dishwasher where it will be exposed to temperatures below freezing or exposed to weather.
z Do not use an extension cord or a portable electrical outlet device (e.g. multi-socket outlet box) to connect the Dishwasher to the power supply.
z 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.
z 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. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
6

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
z Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance; if it will not fit the outlet, contact a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician or qualified electrician.
z If the Dishwasher is installed as a permanently connected appliance, this appliance must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipmentgrounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.
Maintenance z Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before any cleaning or maintenance. z When disconnecting the appliance pull the plug rather than the power supply cord or
junction of cord to avoid damage. z Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless
specifically recommended in this guide. We recommend contacting a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician or Customer Care. z Keep the floor around your appliance clean and dry to reduce the possibility of slipping. z Keep the area around/underneath your appliance free from the accumulation of combustible materials, such as lint, paper, rags and chemicals. Wi-Fi (some models only) z Do not change or modify the wireless communication device in any way. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Fisher & Paykel could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

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 Rinse cutlery and silverware immediately after use to prevent tarnishing. We recommend using the RINSE cycle. Silver should not come into contact with stainless steel, mixing these can cause staining. Remove silver cutlery from the 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.
Woodware Woodware is generally sensitive to heat and water. Regular use in the dishwasher may cause deterioration over time.

Glassware Most glassware is dishwasher safe. Crystal, very fine and antique glassware may etch and 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.
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 dishwasher and parts can fail over time. Glassware washed in hard water will become cloudy over time and dishes will become spotted or covered in a white film. Water hardness varies by geographical location. If you live in a hard water area, 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 6 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 dishwasher.
If your home has soft or softened water z Avoid using too much detergent.

10

LOADING SUGGESTIONS

When loading your Dishwasher 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. Your dishwasher can hold up to a maximum of 15 place settings.
Ensure z Lower and middle spray arms can rotate freely. z Tall items do not obstruct the upper spray arm. 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 front of the dishwasher. z Blocking water from any items on the foldaway
cup racks.

Only programs utilising the SANITIZE wash modifier are certified to meet the conditions required by Section 6, NSF 184. Other wash programs may not reach the temperatures required for sanitization to occur. Refer to ‘Wash modifiers’ for wash programs that have sanitize available. For sanitization to occur, the temperature of the water needs to reach 158°F (70°C). Ensure all items are dishwasher safe before running the sanitize modifier. If the wash is interrupted or the water supply is turned off during the program, the heating conditions for sanitization may not be met. You may need to run the program again.

Cleaning surfaces
Wipe with a damp cloth and dry using a lint-free cloth. 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 filter, spray arms and filter plate We recommend that the drain filter and filter plate are removed and cleaned once a month or whenever there is evidence of food particles. The spray arms in normal use should require cleaning less frequently. Lower and middle spray arms can be shaken to remove any foreign material, cleaned in hot water, then rinsed in clean water.
The dishwasher must be used with the filter plate, drain filter and spray arms correctly in place. If using a dishwasher cleaner or descaler, refer to manufacturer instructions.

Extended periods of disuse
If your 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 door ajar. When using your dishwasher for the first time after a long period away, we recommend pouring 3 cups of water into the dishwasher before use. This helps lubricate components that may have dried out during disuse.
