Installation instructions
Before you start
These instructions are intended as a guide only. It is the responsibility of the plumber and
electrician to ensure that each installation complies with the Government and local government
by-laws.
Check packaging and dishwasher immediately for signs of transport damage. If the appliance
is damaged, do not put into use but contact your Fisher & Paykel Authorised Service Centre or
dealer.
The dishwasher must not be connected to the electrical supply while installation is being carried
out. Ensure all domestic wiring is properly earthed.
Never lift from the door handle.
Do not lift from the decorative panel on the front of the dishwasher. Always be careful with the
hoses and the power cord at the back of the dishwasher. Careful handling will prevent damage
and malfunction from squashing, kinking or cuts.
The dishwasher should not be connected to a hot water system where the temperature exceeds
60ºC, or where there is no temperature control, eg wetback system unless the system is fitted
with a suitable tempering valve.
The dishwasher must not be connected to an under sink high pressure “push through” type hot
water system, as damage to the system will result.
Ensure the bare wood surrounding the dishwasher is sealed with an oil-based paint or moisture-
proof polyurethane to prevent possible steam damage.
While installing a dishwasher, check the drain hose is not restricted or kinked.
Levelling
Before sliding the dishwasher into position, adjust the feet to ensure that the dishwasher is
level at the required height. Check that the door opens and closes freely without resistance to
adjacent cabinetry. If necessary adjust the levelling feet slightly. The dishwasher should not be
inclined more than 2º. If the dishwasher is level it will help to ensure optimum performance.
