SAFETY AND WARNINGS

WARNING! Electric Shock Hazard

Failure to follow this advice may result in electrical shock or death.

•     This appliance must be earthed. This appliance has a cord with an equipment-earthing conductor and an earthing plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and earthed in accordance with all local regulations.

•     WARNING – Improper connection of the equipment-earthing conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service technician if you are unsure if the appliance is properly earthed.

•     Do not modify the power supply plug provided with the appliance. If a different outlet is required have it installed by a qualified electrician. Do not use an extension cord, adapter plug or multi-box.

Weight Hazard
Failure to follow this advice may result in damage or personal injury.
• Do not attempt to lift this product unassisted.

WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire, injury to persons or damage when using the appliance, follow the important safety instructions listed below. Read all the guidance before using the appliance.

Servicing
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in this guide. All other servicing should be undertaken by a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician or qualified person.

Installation

• The dishwasher MUST be installed to allow for future removal from the enclosure if service is required.
• The switched power outlet must be outside the dishwasher cavity, so that it is accessible after installation.
• This dishwasher is manufactured for indoor use only.
• Care should be taken when the appliance is installed or removed to reduce the likelihood of damage to the power supply cord and hoses.
• If the dishwasher is to be relocated from one installation to another it must be kept upright to avoid damage from water spillage.
• Make sure only new hoses are used for connection (supplied with the dishwasher). Old hoses should not be reused.
• Failure to install the dishwasher correctly could invalidate any warranty or liability claims.
• Ensure the dishwasher is placed between cabinetry. 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.

Hose and cord lengths

• Your services can be installed to either the left-hand or right-hand side of the product in an adjacent cabinet. Refer to ‘Cabinetry preparation’ for service access requirements.
• The drain hose should not extend more than 13ft (4m). A longer drain hose will cause reduced performance.

Water connection

• The dishwasher should not be connected to a water system where there is no temperature control, unless the system is fitted with a suitable tempering valve.
• The dishwasher must not be connected to an undersink high-pressure push-through hot water system, as damage to the system will result.
• Maximum water temperature: 140°F (60°C).
• Recommended water temperature: 120°F (50°C)
• 3/4″ BSP connection to product inlet valve.
• Ensure water connection complies with local plumbing regulations.

Anti-flood protection
This dishwasher has anti-flood protection, which will stop the water flowing in the event of a leak within the machine.

SERVICE ACCESS

• We recommend locating the service holes on either side of the dishwasher as shown.
• If the holes are created through wood, ensure the edges are smooth and rounded.
• If the holes are created through metal, ensure an edge protector is fitted.

SERVICE HOLE DIMENSIONS INCH                                       MM

   leg yet.

2. Remove both screw covers before partially pushing the product into the cavity, pulling the hoses through as you push to avoid crushing or twisting them. Take care not to bend the legs.
   Push the product from the outside edges to avoid door damage.

3. Check the product sits level within the cavity.
   To access the rear leg adjustment, remove the four screws holding the toe kick and mounting plate in place.
   If required, the rear middle leg can be adjusted from the front of the product using a 6mm Allen key.
