Safety and warnings
Your DishDrawer® has been carefully designed to operate safely during normal dishwashing
procedures. Please keep the following instructions in mind when you are using your
DishDrawer®.
Important safety instructions
WARNING! - When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:
Read all instructions before using the DishDrawer®.
The information in this manual must be followed to minimise the risk of fire or explosion or to
prevent property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
Use the DishDrawer® only for its intended function as described in this user guide.
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 programme.
When loading items to be washed, locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the
lid seal and load sharp knives with the handle up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
Do not touch the heater plate during or immediately after use.
Do not operate your DishDrawer® unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.
Do not tamper with the controls.
Do not abuse, sit on, stand in or on the drawer or dish rack of the DishDrawer®.
The adjustable racks are designed to support cups, glasses and kitchen utensils. When the
adjustable racks are in the DishDrawer® do not lean on or use them to support your body
weight.
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 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.
Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service
or discarding it.
Dishwasher detergents are alkaline. They can be dangerous if swallowed. Avoid contact with
skin and eyes, keep children and infirm persons away from the dishwasher when the drawer is
opened.

Safety and warnings
Important safety instructions
Installation
This DishDrawer® must be installed and located in accordance with the Installation instructions
before it is used. If you did not receive Installation instruction sheets with your DishDrawer®, you
can order them by calling your Authorised Service Agent or from the Fisher & Paykel website,
www.fisherpaykel.com.
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified technician.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a dealer or Authorised Service Centre
or a similar qualified trades person in order to avoid a hazard.
Ensure the DishDrawer® 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.
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.
Do not store or use petrol, or other flammable vapours and liquids in the vicinity of the
DishDrawer®.
Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized power supply circuit to avoid electrical overload.
Make sure that the power supply cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over or
otherwise subject to damage or stress.
Do not install or store the DishDrawer® where it will be exposed to temperatures below freezing
or exposed to weather.
Do not use an extension cord or a portable electrical outlet device (e.g. multi-socket outlet box)
to connect the DishDrawer® to the power supply.
Maintenance
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before any cleaning or maintenance.
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically
recommended in this user guide. We recommend that you call an Authorised Service Agent.
Keep the floor around your appliance clean and dry to reduce the possibility of slipping.
Keep the area around/underneath your appliance free from the accumulation of combustible
materials, such as lint, paper, rags and chemicals.
When cleaning the underside of the filter plate, care must be taken on the sharp outer edge to
avoid the risk of cut type injuries.

Safety and warnings
Important safety instructions
Important!
Under no circumstances should you open the drawer whilst the DishDrawer® is in operation.
Operational
Always press the
button to pause and wait until you hear the three additional beeps before
opening the drawer.
The DishDrawer® must be used with the motor assembly, filter plate, drain filter and spray arm in
place.
When disconnecting the appliance pull the plug rather than the power supply cord or junction of
cord to avoid damage.
Take care when loading the DishDrawer® not to load dishware items so they prevent the lid from
properly sealing with the drawer. Items should be placed so they do not protrude above and/or
forced into the drawer, otherwise a service call may result.
Household appliances are not intended to be played with by children. Children or persons with a
disability which limits their ability to use the appliance, should have a responsible person instruct
them in its use. The instructor should be satisfied that they can then use the appliance without
danger to themselves or their surroundings.
Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is used by or near children. Do not allow children
to play inside, on or with this appliance or any discarded appliance.
If a dishwasher cleaner is used, we would strongly recommend a wash programme with detergent
should be run immediately afterward, to prevent any damage to the DishDrawer®.
The DishDrawer® is designed for washing normal household utensils. Items that are
contaminated by petrol, paint, steel or iron debris, corrosive, acidic or alkaline chemicals are not
to be washed in the DishDrawer®.
If the DishDrawer® is not being used for long periods of time, turn the electricity and water supply
to the DishDrawer® off.
Do not pour detergent or rinse aid into the salt reservoir. The detergent or rinse aid will destroy
the water softener.
Do not operate your appliance by means of an external timer or separate remote-control system.

Caring for your dinnerware
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 from the manufacturer of
the items, or wash the item by hand.
Cutlery & silverware
All cutlery and silverware should be rinsed immediately after use to prevent tarnishing caused
by some foods. The Rinse wash programme is useful for this. Silver items should not come into
contact with stainless steel, eg other cutlery. Mixing these items can cause staining. Remove
silver cutlery from the DishDrawer® and hand dry it immediately after the programme has
finished.
Aluminium
Aluminium can be dulled by dishwasher detergent. The 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
Wooden items are generally sensitive to heat and water. Regular use in the dishwasher may
cause deterioration over time. If in doubt, wash by hand.
Glassware
Most everyday glassware is dishwasher safe. Crystal, very fine and antique glassware may etch
that is, become opaque. You may prefer to wash these items by hand.
Plastic
Some plastic may change shape or colour with hot water. Check manufacturer’s instructions
about washing plastic items. Washable plastic items should be weighed down so they do not
flip over 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. If in
doubt, wash by hand.
Glued items
Certain adhesives are softened or dissolved in machine washing. If in doubt, wash by hand.
Holiday time
If the DishDrawer® is not going to be used for some time, we recommend you leave the
DishDrawer® clean and empty. Leave the drawers ajar to allow air to circulate. Turn off both the
power and water supply to the DishDrawer®.

Racking features and accessories
Stemware
notches
The six notches
on the left-
hand side
help support
long-stemmed
glassware.
Folding tines
The front half is ideal for large, deep bowls.
Fold the tine sections down towards each other if you need the space for pots or other large
items.
Fold down the right-hand section only and lean cups against the upright tines for extra stability.
Cutlery basket
Mix spoons, knives and forks within each section to
stop cutlery nesting together.
Most cutlery is placed with the handle pointing
down.
For your safety, knives and sharp utensils should
have their handles up.
Small light items like baby bottle teats are best
placed under the anti-nesting grids to prevent
them from being displaced.

2
Adjust the height to suit by sliding up or down.
3
Fold down to lock in position.
Fold the racks away if you need the space.
‘Slide-and-fold’
tines
Slide all the way to the
left to fit larger dinner
plates.
For optimum stability,
place larger plates
between the longer
tines in the front.
Fold the tine sections
down towards each
other if you need the
space for pots or other
large items.
16
Loading suggestions
When loading your DishDrawer®, make sure that
you place items so that water coming from the rotating spray arm below can reach all areas
(wash performance will be reduced if it can’t)
nothing blocks the water from getting to items on the adjustable racks.

Loading suggestions
How NOT to load your DishDrawer®
Overcrowded and wash water will not
reach some of the dinnerware.
Cups, glasses and bowls must have their
openings facing down.
The plates are nesting together and wash
water may not get through.
Ensure cutlery are not nesting or stuck
together. They need to be evenly spread
out.
Ensure dishware items are not forced
into or protrude out of the drawer, as this
may prevent the lid from properly sealing
which could result in a service call.
Locate sharp items safely to prevent
injuring the user and damaging the lid
assembly.
Check the bottom of the cutlery basket to
ensure sharp or pointed items have not
come through as they may stop spray arm
rotation.
Ensure cutlery has not fallen through the
base rack and stopped the spray arm from
rotating.
The large bowl is blocking wash water
reaching the adjustable racks.
Large utensils should be on the adjustable
racks so they do not become dislodged and
stop the spray arm from rotating.
Sharp or pointed items must be placed
horizontally or with sharp edges/points
facing down to avoid risk of injury.

Dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline and can be dangerous if swallowed.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Keep children and infirm persons away from the DishDrawer® when the drawer is open.
Check that the detergent receptacle is empty after completion
of the wash cycle. Failure to do so could result in poisoning.
Do not place dishwasher tablets in the
detergent dispenser.
Detergent and dishwasher tablets should not
be in direct contact with dishes or cutlery.
Liquid detergents are not suitable to be used in
the DishDrawer®.
Hand washing liquids, soap, laundry detergents
or disinfectants will damage the DishDrawer®.
Filling the detergent dispenser

Dishwasher tablets
Important!
If you are using dishwasher tablets, we recommend you use the standard Normal programme
only. Using any other programme (including Normal Eco) with dishwasher tablets will not ensure
optimum wash performance.
Tablets can either be placed in the cutlery basket or alternatively, placed directly in the wash
compartment as below. If you are using dishwasher tablets with a built-in rinse aid component,
you may need to reduce the rinse aid setting. See ‘Option adjustments’ for instructions.
Preferred:
Place the dishwasher tablet in
the empty section between
the anti-nesting grids.
Alternative:
If the cutlery basket cannot be
used, place dishwasher tablet in the
bottom of the wash compartment.
20
Rinse aid dispenser
We highly recommend the regular use of liquid rinse aid to give the best drying results.
Rinse aid gives a streak-free, sparkling clean look to glass and chinaware. In addition, it prevents
metal from tarnishing. The rinse aid dispenser is on the inside of the drawer, located underneath
the detergent dispenser. The rinse aid dispenser holds approximately 50 ml of rinse aid.
Filling the rinse aid dispenser
1
Turn the plug anticlockwise and remove.
2
Pour the rinse aid into the circular opening.
3
Take care not to spill rinse aid into the DishDrawer®.
Any spillages must be wiped up to prevent excess
foaming. Failure to wipe rinse aid spillages may
result in a service call which will not be covered by
warranty.
4
Fit the plug back into the original position.
How much rinse aid to use
The regulator may need adjusting to suit your water conditions or the particular dishwasher
tablet you are using. The lowest setting is ‘1’ and the highest is ‘5’. Refer to the ‘Option
adjustments’ section to adjust the rinse aid setting. If there is excessive foam at the end of the
wash or you are using dishwasher tablets with built-in rinse aid, reduce the setting. If dishes are
wet or streaky after drying, increase the setting.
Rinse aid indicator light
If the rinse aid indicator light is red, refill the dispenser. If the rinse aid indicator light is
dimly lit or not lit at all, there is enough rinse aid for the wash.
Note:
Lighter coloured rinse aids will not dim the indicator light as effectively as darker coloured rinse
aids.
When the rinse aid is being dispensed, you may notice some unusual noises during the wash:
this is normal.
21
Option adjustments
The following options can be adjusted to suit your preferences:
Rinse aid setting
Reduce the Rinse aid setting if there is excess foam after a wash programme or if you are using
dishwasher tablets with built-in rinse aid.
Increase the Rinse aid setting if dishes are wet or streaky after a wash programme.
Water softener setting
Refer to the ‘Water softener’ section.
Auto power setting
By default, DishDrawer® will automatically turn on whenever the drawer is opened. Washing will
not start until the drawer is closed and the
button has been pressed. If you do not want the
DishDrawer® to turn on automatically, this feature can be turned off.
End of wash programme beeps
By default, DishDrawer® will beep six times at the end of a wash programme. This feature can be
turned off.
Closed drawer option
The Closed drawer option will lock the DishDrawer® when the drawer is closed. When you wish
to open the drawer, press the
button. When the drawer is fully closed again, the lid will
automatically come down after 30 seconds and lock.
If the Keylock feature is used in conjunction with the Closed drawer option, pressing the
button will not unlock the drawer. The Keylock feature must be turned off to enable
DishDrawer® to be opened.
Note: this option is highly recommended if the DishDrawer® is to be used in motor homes.
Clean dish indicator option (models with LCD only)
By default, DishDrawer® is programmed with the Clean dish indicator option off. When the
Clean dish indicator option is on, the
symbol will remain in the electronic display after a
wash programme has finished to indicate the dishes are clean. When you have unloaded all the
dishes, press the
button to return to normal operating mode.
This option might be useful when dishes have been left in DishDrawer® and you cannot
remember if they have been washed or in situations where household members regularly
remove only a few clean dishes without emptying the drawer.
We do not recommend the Clean dish indicator option be used in conjunction with the Closed
drawer option.
