Safety and warnings
Your DishDrawer has been carefully designed to operate safely during normal dishwashing
procedures. Please keep the following guidelines in mind when you are using your
DishDrawer®. Please read all instructions before operating the DishDrawer®.
Important safety precautions
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 handles 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 the 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 cup racks are designed to support cups, glasses and kitchen utensils. When the cup racks
are in the DishDrawer® do not lean on or use the cup racks 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 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 person(s) away from the dishwasher when the drawer is
opened.

Important safety precautions
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.

Safety and warnings
Important safety precautions
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.

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 basket 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 ensure the baskets
are empty. Leave the inside of the DishDrawer® clean. Leave the drawers ajar to allow air to
circulate. Turn off both the power and water supply to the DishDrawer®.

Accessories
The inserts and racks can be added or removed to
suit your individual needs. If you have the double
DishDrawer® model, some of the accessories are
interchangeable 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.
a. Basket
The basket holds some of the accessories in place
and keeps dishes away from the spray arm.
b. Drain Filter Access Panel
The drain filter access panel is designed to snap
onto the basket over the drain filter. This prevents
objects from touching the base of the DishDrawer®
and stopping the rotation of the spray arm, while
still giving access to the drain filter.
c. Mega Rack
The Mega rack is designed to hold
glasses, cups and small plates.
d. Plate insert
The plate insert supports plates and
bowls.
How to install the Mega Rack
To install the Mega rack, place the outer
legs of the rack on top of the basket,
and clip the Mega rack to the side of the
basket. When the Mega rack is correctly
installed it should not feel loose in the
basket.
15
Accessories
Cup Racks
Cups, glasses and kitchen utensils can be placed on the
left and right hand side of the cup racks.
For best performance ensure there are no large items
below, blocking the wash water from reaching the cup
racks.
Wine glasses can be supported on the cup racks if used in
conjunction with the Mega Rack.
There are stops on the cup rack to prevent cups from
touching the DishDrawer® wall. This will maximise the dry
and wash performance.
Cutlery Basket
Cutlery, small kitchen utensils and some plastic lids are
best placed into the cutlery basket.
For best wash performance, we recommend loading
cutlery with handles pointing down and sharp utensils
with their handles facing up, to reduce the risk of injury.
Mix spoons, knives and forks within each section, to
stop cutlery nesting together and to ensure the water
circulates freely.
Keep stainless steel from touching silver cutlery to avoid
staining.
Small items, like plastic lids, can be placed under the anti-
nesting grid, this will prevent them from being displaced
by wash water and falling to the bottom, where they may
stop the spray arm rotation.
16
Loading
Wash water for the DishDrawer® comes from the spray arm which is situated inside the base of
the drawer. The spray arm rotates, providing wash water to all areas of the wash compartment
so care needs to be taken when loading dishes to ensure there is enough space and room for the
water to reach all areas, particularly the cup racks. If there are any items blocking the spray arm
path or the wash water, then the performance will be reduced.
How to load your DishDrawer®
Note: The basket and its inserts are not designed to be lifted out of the DishDrawer® while
loaded with dishes.
Standard load Heavy load
17
Loading
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 downwards.
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 it
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
basket and stopped the spray arm from
rotating.
The large bowl is blocking wash water
reaching the cup racks.
Large utensils should be on cup 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 downward to avoid risk of injury.
18
Detergent dispenser
Important!
Only use powdered detergent recommended for domestic automatic dishwashers in the
detergent dispenser.
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.
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
1
Press the latch down and the door will open.
2
Pour in detergent. No detergent is needed for the Rinse
programme.
3
After filling the wash compartments, close the dispenser
door until it clicks shut. The detergent will automatically be
released into the DishDrawer® during the wash programme.

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 dispenser holds approximately 50 ml of rinse aid.
Filling the rinse aid dispenser
1
Turn the plug anti-clockwise 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. The lowest setting is ‘1’ and the
highest is ‘5’. Refer to User preference settings section to adjust the rinse aid setting. If there
is excessive foam at the end of the wash, 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
User preference settings
The following settings can be adjusted to suit your preferences.
Rinse Aid setting
Reduce the Rinse Aid setting if there is excess foam after a wash programme.
Increase the Rinse Aid setting if dishes are wet or streaky after a wash programme.
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 Lock feature is used in conjunction with the Closed Drawer Option, pressing the
button
will not unlock the drawer. The Lock feature must be turned off to enable DishDrawer® to be
opened.
Clean Dish Indicator option (Prefinished 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 a only 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.
