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 minimize 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 agent 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 program.
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.

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.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will
reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This
appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or
service representative if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
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 Authorized 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.

Caring for your dinnerware
The combination of high temperatures and dishwasher detergent may cause damage to
some items if they are washed in a dishwasher. 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 program is useful for this. Silver items should not come into
contact with stainless steel, e.g. other cutlery. Mixing these items can cause staining. Remove
silver cutlery from the DishDrawer® and hand dry it immediately after the program has finished
if needed.
Aluminum
Aluminum 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 a 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 color 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.
Vacation 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.

d
a. basket
a
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.
b
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.

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 maximize 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 from 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.

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 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.

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 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 down to avoid risk of injury.

Hard water situations
Soft water situations
If you live in a hard water situation, we
recommend the installation of a household
water softener to improve the water quality,
detergent effectiveness and prevent the
build-up of calcium deposits on dishes and
in the DishDrawer®.
If you live in an area of naturally soft water
or your household water is softened,
avoid using too much detergent in your
DishDrawer®. An excess amount of detergent
is very aggressive on glassware and may
cause irreversible etching.
Certain brands of dishwasher detergent
contain varying quantities of phosphates,
which help soften water. We suggest
you use a detergent with high phosphate
content to improve the wash. The detergent
compartments need to be completely FULL
and rinse agent is used with its setting fixed
at 5.
Etching is a chemical deterioration that
occurs on the surface of glassware when
it is subjected to high temperatures, too
much detergent and/or soft water situations.
Etching is caused by a combination of very
hot water, which causes the detergent to
become very aggressive, but because the
water is soft, there are no water hardness
mineral ions for the detergent to bind to,
so it extracts mineral ions directly from the
glass.
We recommend the use of a dishwasher
cleaner/descaler whenever you notice
a build-up of calcium deposits in your
DishDrawer®.
Etching looks like rainbow-colored film, as
the glass is subjected to further washing the
surface will eventually appear opaque. This
type of etching is irreversible.
After you have used the dishwasher
cleaner/descaler you must run another
wash program with detergent to prevent
damage to the DishDrawer®.
To prevent further etching from occurring
on glassware, use less detergent (follow the
recommended detergent quantities in the
User Guide for soft water situations), and
ensure the dishwasher is not overloaded,
so water can reach all the dishes during the
wash.

Rinse agent dispenser
We highly recommend the regular use of liquid rinse agent to give the best drying results. Rinse
agent gives a streak free, sparkling clean look to glass and chinaware, in addition it
prevents metal from tarnishing. The rinse agent dispenser is on the inside of each drawer,
located underneath the detergent dispenser. The dispenser holds approximately 1.7 fl oz (50 ml)
of rinse agent.
Filling the rinse agent dispenser

3
Turn the plug counter-clockwise and remove.
Pour the rinse agent into the circular opening.
Take care not to spill rinse agent into the
DishDrawer®. Any spillages must be wiped up to
prevent excess foaming. Failure to wipe rinse agent
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 agent to use
The regulator may need adjusting to suit your water conditions. The lowest setting is ‘1’ and
the highest is ‘5’. Refer to Option Adjustments section to adjust the rinse agent 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 agent indicator light
If the rinse agent indicator light is red, refill the dispenser. If the rinse agent indicator light is
dimly lit or not lit at all, there is enough rinse agent for the wash.
Note:
Lighter colored rinse agents will not dim the indicator light as effectively as darker colored rinse
agents.
When the rinse agent is being dispensed, you may notice some unusual noises during the wash,
this is normal.

service technician’s travel to your home. Products for use in Canada must be purchased through
the Canadian distribution channel to ensure regulatory compliance.
If the product is installed in a motor vehicle, boat or similar mobile facility, you receive the
same one year limited warranty, but you must bring the vehicle, boat or mobile facility
containing the product to the service shop at your expense or pay the service technician’s
travel to the location of the product.
Fisher & Paykel undertakes to:
Repair without cost to the owner either for material or labor any part of the product, the serial

(an unwritten warranty that the product is fit for ordinary use) also expires ONE YEAR (or such
