INTRODUCTION
Thank you and congratu[afions [or making the wise decision in purchasing your
Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer. Every cam has been taken in designing and
manut_tcturing 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
satis[ying use.
Unique Features of Your DishDrawer TM
By now you will be aware that Fisher & Paykel's DishDrawer isa unique
dishwasher, which oft_,rsbenefits no other dishwasher can.
The DishDrawer takes the everyday kitchen drawer - long recognised asthe most
efficient, easy to access storage syst(,m in the kitchen - and turns it into the most
advanced dishwasher in the world.
Ifyou have chosen a double DishDrawer, or moro than one single DishDrawer, you
will have totally separate, independently operatc,d washing units, introducing loading
and washing possibilities that have never betore been possible.
Now you can treat precious glassware to a delicate wash and give pots and pans the
heavy duty treatment - all at the same time.
The Clutter-Free Counter Top Becomes A Reality
Now it really ispossible to keep your counter top lree from ew,ryday clutter like tall
glasses and awkward serving dishes, rhe double DishDrawer's spacious
configuration gives you many new ways to Mad your machine - and use it.
Used cleverly, two DishDrawers can even provide extra kitchen storage. Use clean
dishes directly from one drawer and load them back into the other drawer when dirty.
Design Your Own Rack System
With flexible, interchangablo inseris the DishDrawer can be arranged to
accommodate the way you live and the dishes you use most often. Inserts are easy to
remove so it is easy to change your layout as your daily needs change.
Ifyou have two DishDrawers, you can arrange one drawer ior all your lightly soiled
cups, saucers and fine glassware - inckJding Mng-stemmed glasses - and wash them
using a delicate cycle. Set up your other drawer ior your morn robust, heavily-soiled
items like plates, pots and pans. Inserts can easily be removed completely to fit
awkward preparation or serving dishes.
The Guilt-Free Small Load
At[ DishDrawer models make the small, guilt-free toad a reality. The DishDrawer
minimizes water and energy consumption with each drawer using lessthan half the
water of a conventional dishwasher. By washing smaller loads more frequently, you
need never run out of clean dishes.
Gentler Introduction of Detergent
The DishDraweds innovativo detergent dispenser thoroughly pre-mixes water with
detergent before it is introduced into the drawer, so your delicate dishes are protected
from "detergentburn". Precise markings inside the dispenser ensure you never use
too much or too tittle detergent lot each program.
Big On the Inside
Each DishDrawer has been careffd[y designed to give you more usable space than
ever before.
Each DishDrawer can accommodate 12 large dinner plates up to 11.4" in diameter. A
deeper drawer design means large plates can be loaded into the drawer while cups
and glasses can be sal_,lystacked into the two levels.
Fisher & Paykel strongly recommends that you read the information contained in
this Use & Care Manual before using the DishDrawer.
ACCESSORIES
Each DishDrawer is supplied with the following:
• Basket
• Cutlery Basket

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.

USAGE
DishDrawerTM Accessories
The basket isthe basic insert DishDrawer requires
wash dishes. The inserts and racks can be added or
removed to suit your individual needs. Ifyou 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.
Purpose of Each Insert
Basket
This is thf, most basic piece and it is essential lor this to
be carefully placed into the DishDrawer first. It holds
some of the inserts in place and keeps the dishes above
the spray arm so it can rotate and spray water onto the
dishes.
Drain Filter Access Panel
The drain filtc,r access panel is designed to giw • access to
the drain filter, the purpose of this insert is to prevent
objects from touching the base of the DishDrawer and
stopping the rotation of the spray arm, but still giving
access to the drain filter.
Cutlery Basket
The cutlery basket is removable and ideally should sit
over the opening of the drain filter in the front right hand
side of the drawer. For maximum wash performance the
ova[ slots should lace the middle of the drawer.
Individual pieces of cutlery, like knives or spoons, can
be placed in the oval slots ior convenience.

Notes;
• The detergent quantities arc,for individual DishDrawers, however if you live in
a solt water area you may need lessdetergent.
• A water sotk,ner is recommended if you live in a hard water area to improve
water quality, detergent effectiveness and prevent build up of calcium deposits
on dishes, cutlery and in the DishDrawer.
• We recommend that the drawer(s) be left ajar alter the end of the program to
improve drying.
• Remember that an insufficient amount of detergent will produce poor wash
periormance whereas excessive detergent does not improve wash results.
• When using the FastE_'oSave wash program, detergent should be placed in the
main wash compartment only.
• At the end of the wash program, the drying t_tn will be on ior a short period of
time or until the drawer is opened. While the Jan continues to be on, it assists
with the drying and uses negligible amounts of energy.
INSTALLATION OF UPPER KICKSTRIP
To prevent injury or ctamage, the upper kickstrip is designed to be releasect from the

CARE GUIDE
The combination of high temperatures and dishwasher detergent may cause damage
to some items if they are washed in the DishDrawer.
Remember, if in any doubt about any aspect concerning items washed in the
DishDrawer, follow the instructions irom the manufacturer of the items, or wash the
item by hand.
Glassware
Most everyday glassware is Dishwasher sale. Crystal, very fine and antique glassware
may etch, i.e. become opaque. You may prel_,rto wash these items by hand.
Silverware and Cutlery
Cutk, ry should be rinsed immediately after use to prevent tarnishing caused by son-to
ioods. Fhe Rinse wash program is useful for this. Silver items should not come into
contact with stainless steel, for example other cutlery. Mixing these items can cause
staining. Remove silver cutlery from the DishDrawer and hand dry it immediately alter
the program has finished.
Aluminum
Aluminum can be dulled by Dishwasher detergent. Fhe degree of change depends on
the quality of the product.
Other Metals
Iron and cast iron objects can rust and stain other items. Copper, pewter and brass
tend to stain.
Woodware
Generally wooden items are sensitive to heat and water. Regular use in the
Dishwasher may cause deterioration over time. [f in doubt, wash by hand.
Plastic
Some plastic may change shape or color with hot water. Check manutacturer's
instructions about washing plastic items. Washable plastic items should be weighed
down so they do not flip over and fill with water or t_tl[through the basket during the
wash.
Decorated Items
Most modern china patterns are Dishwasher salb. Antique items, those with a pattern
painted over the glaze, gold rims or hand painted china may be more sensitive to
machine washing. If in doubt wash these items by hand.
Glued Items
Certain adhesives arc, soitened or dissolved in machine washing. If in doubt, wash
glued items by hand.
