INTRODUCTION Thank you and congratulations for making the wise decision in purchasing your Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer. Every care has been taken in designing and manufacturing your appliance. We are sure that you will enjoy using your DishDrawer and will soon appreciate its many benefits. We wish you many years of satisfying use. Unique Features of Your DishDrawer By now you will be aware that Fisher & Paykel's DishDrawer is a unique dishwasher, which offers benefits no other dishwasher can.
The Guilt-Free Small Load All DishDrawer models make the small, guilt-free load a reality. The DishDrawer minimizes water and energy consumption with each drawer using less than half the water of a conventional dishwasher. By washing smaller loads more frequently, you need never run out of clean dishes.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Warning - When using your DishDrawer, follow basic precautions, including the following: For your safety the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion or to prevent property damage, personal injury or loss of life. Please read all instructions before operating the DishDrawer. Use the DishDrawer only for its intended function as described in this Use and Care manual.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 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 faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Do not operate this appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled or has missing or broken parts, including a damaged cord or plug. Do not store or use gasoline, or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of the DishDrawer. Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized power supply circuit to avoid electrical overload.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The DishDrawer must be used with the motor assembly, filter plate, drain filter and spray arm correctly in place. When disconnecting the appliance pull the plug rather than the cord or junction of cord to avoid damage. Household appliances are not intended to be played with by children. Children or persons with a disability that may limit their ability to use the appliance, should have a competent person instruct them in its use.
CONTROL FUNCTIONS Where there are two DishDrawers in the one cabinet, each drawer has its own control panel and can run independently of the other. Figure 1 - Primary Control Panel Primary Control Buttons Power The Power button, it turns the DishDrawer on and off. On After pressing the Power button the Electronic Display will show: · A green background. · The number of minutes from the last wash program used. · The min symbol flashing. Off To terminate a wash program, press the Power button.
Start / Pause This button has a number of functions. It serves to: · Start the DishDrawer, once the desired wash program has been selected. · Interrupt the wash program while in operation. When pausing the DishDrawer, wait until you have heard two additional beeps before you open the drawer, allowing the lid seal to deflate. While in the pause mode, the electronic display will be green, the min symbol will flash and the "smiley face" symbol will disappear. · Restart the DishDrawer after being paused.
Electronic Display The Electronic Display has a number of functions. It shows: · The time for each wash program selected. Each time you change the wash program, the number in the Electronic Display will change to indicate the approximate duration of each wash program. The min symbol will flash until a wash program has started. · Time remaining in the wash program. This is shown with the background in green.
Delay Start This feature allows you to delay the start of the wash program from one to twelve hours.

To Activate Delay Start 1. Ensure the drawer is closed. 2. Press and hold the Start / Pause button until the background color of the Electronic Display turns orange. 3.
Secondary Control Panel Wash Programs One advantage of two independent DishDrawers is that you can divide the dish loads according to need. For example, you can wash pots or heavily soiled items on a Heavy Plus program in one drawer while washing china or glassware on a Delicate Eco Save program in the other drawer. When selecting a wash program ensure the control panel inside the drawer is clean and dry. If not, wipe with a clean dry cloth.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Ensure the filter plate and drain filter is clean and free of food debris. Check the drain filter is flush with the filter plate and the spray arm is correctly on the impeller. 2. Check there is rinse agent in the dispenser. 3. Remove all food scraps from the dishes. 4. Load the dishes. Overcrowding the DishDrawer may lead to poor wash performance. Ensure there are no items blocking the spray arm path. 5.
USAGE DishDrawerTM Accessories The basket is the basic insert DishDrawer requires to wash dishes. The inserts and racks can be added or removed to suit your individual needs. If you have two DishDrawers, some of the parts are interchangable between the two drawers. For example you can combine the two Mega Racks into one drawer and wash all cups and glasses, leaving the other drawer for plates and larger items.
Plate Insert The plate insert can be installed to the left or the right side of the basket. This insert is capable of supporting plates and bowls. 1 Mega Rack The Mega Rack can be installed to the left or the right side of the basket. If you want to wash wine glasses, this rack should be installed on the left side. This rack is designed to hold a combination of glasses, cups and small plates.

If there are no inserts in the basket, large bowls and pots can be placed flat in the DishDrawer.
Cup Racks Cups, glasses and kitchen utensils can be placed on both sides of the cups inserts. For best wash performance ensure there are no large items blocking the wash water from reaching the cup racks. See Figures 11 and 12 for the recommended method of loading the DishDrawer.
