CUSTOM DOOR PANEL PREPARATION

IMPORTANT!

• Ensure the custom door panel has the correct specifications to fit the front of the dishwasher.
• Ensure the back and sides of the panel are completely sealed with a waterproof vapor barrier (ie polyurethane). The barrier allows the panel to withstand moisture (122°F (50°C) @ 80% RH) and prevent damage during hot and wet environment.
• The overall weight of custom door panel must be between 8.9 – 6lbs (4 – 8kg)

ATTACHING CUSTOM DOOR PANEL

• Fix slider bracket and screws to custom panel Insert Ø3.9 x 1/2″ (13mm) screws through the top two pilot holes. Fix the slider bracket to the panel through the lower pilot holes.
• Hang the custom panel onto the door Close the door of the dishwasher and align the screws and the bracket on the custom panel to the front of the dishwasher door.
• Adust the placement of the custom panel Slide the custom panel up or down to position it in the desired location.

Balance the door Check the door balance by opening and closing the door. If the door drops when released, increase the tension. If the door rises when released, decrease the tension.

Secure the custom panel Open the door and remove the four screws and replace them with Ø3.9 x 1 1/2″ (38mm) screws to fix the panel into place

LEVEL DISHWASHER

Ensure the appliance is leveled for a proper dish rack, wash performance, and door operation.
To verify the dishwasher is leveled, open and close the door and pull the dish racks halfway out. The door should fit in the tub opening without hitting the sides. If the racks roll on their own, or the door hits the side of tub, re- level.

Remove toe kick and mounting plate To access the rear leg adjustment pin, you will need to remove the four screws holding the toe kick and mounting plate. Set screws aside for re-installation.
Adjust leg height Adjust the rear foot via the back leg adjustment pin using an Allen Key. The front feet can be adjusted using an adjustable wrench.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

• Remove the junction box cover
  Unclip and remove the junction box cover to access the appliance electronics. Do not remove the screw holding the junction box bracket in place.

• Connect wires
  Install the strain relief into the junction box bracket, secure the house wiring or the power cord and tighten. Thread the wires through the hole in the junction box bracket and connect the incoming ground to green, white to white and black to black.

• Refit the junction box cover
  Refit the junction box cover ensuring no wires are pinched beneath the cover. Ensure the power cord is routed under the appliance.

HARD PLUMBING

Connect an elbow (90°) to the water inlet valve.

• Ensure a rubber gasket is placed between the threads of the elbow and the water supply valve. Do not overtighten the elbow.
•  Ensure the end of the elbow is pointing to the rear of the dishwasher

If using a flexible braided hose: Screw the nut of the hose to the thread of the elbow. Tighten with an adjustable wrench.

Insert the hot water line (copper pipe or flexible braided hose) through the water supply hole from the side of the cabinetry. (Refer to ‘Cavity preparation, page 9 for more details). z Be careful not to damage the water line while inserting through the hole.3 Install a hand shut-off valve to the water line in a location that is easily accessible in the adjacent cabinetry (eg under the sink).

If using a copper pipe: Slide the compression nut and ferrule towards the end of the pipe. Insert the end of the pipe into the elbow and screw the compression nut to the thread of the elbow.

PLUMBING AND DRAINAGE OPTIONS

IMPORTANT!
Ensure that drain hose is installed as close to the underside of the benchtop as possible. This will ensure no waste re-enters the drain hose in the event of poor flow or a blockage in the plumbing. Ensure the drain hose does not extend into water retained in the trap. An air gap is required to prevent wastewater from siphoning back into the tub.

TOE KICK INSTALLATION

Refit toe-kick mounting plate and panel.
Refit the toe-kick and mounting plate panels that were removed earlier. If desired, a custom continuous toekick panel can be installed.
Check door overhang and swing range.
Door overhang and swing range is relative to height and depth of toekick panel. Cut back excess panel to ensure continuous, seamless integration.

Align and prepare a continuous toe kick panel. Align the toe-kick to the desired position and mark out the point in which the toekick meets the base of the door panel. Cut back excess. 4 Fit continuous toe kick panel to the surrounding cabinetry.

SECURE THE APPLIANCE

Using two Ø4 x 25mm screws, secure the appliance to the benchtop above through the brackets located at the top of the appliance chassis.
IMPORTANT!
This installation method is not applicable if an infill bracket has been installed. If the infill bracket is not used, we recommend fixing the appliance to the adjacent cabinetry or above the benchtop.

CONNECT INLET HOSE TO HOT WATER

IMPORTANT

Follow the water connection requirements.

•  We recommend a hot water connection.
• The incoming water temperature should not exceed 140oF.
• 2 Hot water pressure:
•  Take note of the permitted water pressure extremes.
•  Lowest: 5psi
•  Where pressure is 5psi, contact a qualified plumber.
•  Highest: 140psi
•  Install a pressure reduction valve if pressure is above 140psi. Contact a qualified plumber. 3 Connect the water inlet hose to an accessible water tap with a 3/4″ BSP connector. Ensure that there is no kink in the inlet hose that could restrict the flow of water. A 90o bend requires a minimum height of 200mm for a kink-free curve.
•  Ensure incoming water is clear. If the water pipes have not been used for a long period of time, let the water run to make sure it is clear with no impurities. Not doing so may result in the water inlet hose getting blocked and damaging the appliance.
•  If required, use a filter insert to filter out deposits from the piping. The filter insert is available from your Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician or Customer Care.4 Tighten the hose coupling a further half turn after seal contact. 5 Check that the connection does not leak.

CONNECT TO POWER

Do not connect the dishwasher to the electrical supply while installation is on-going. Ensure all domestic wiring is properly earthed.

•  Check the rating label (located on the left-hand side of the dishwasher’s stainless steel inner door) and ensure that the voltage and frequency values for the current in the house correspond to those on the rating label.

•  Insert the plug into a properly earthed power outlet that has a disconnection switch.
  IMPORTANT!

•  The earthing of the appliance is a safety requirement mandated by law.

•  If the power cord is not long enough to reach the outlet or the outlet to which the appliance must be connected is not appropriate for the plug, the entire dishwasher power cord must be replaced. This should only be done by a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician. Do not modify or cut the plug. Do not use an adaptor, extension cord, or multi-outlet power board to connect the dishwasher to the power supply, as these could cause overheating and create a fire hazard.

•  The outlet into which the dishwasher is plugged must remain easily accessible (eg in an adjacent cabinet) even when the appliance is installed. This is to ensure that the dishwasher can be disconnected from the power supply for safe cleaning and maintenance.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Excessive water remaining above the filter plate, after the rinse cycle (this can be displayed as an A20 fault)

•  Check for a kinked drain hose blocked waste connection, high loop not properly installed, drain hose not routed correctly or spray arms not in place. No water supply (this is displayed as A10 fault)
•  Check water is connected and turned on. The dishwasher is beeping continuously
•  There is a fault.
