Installation instructions
Water inlet connections
The dishwasher has a single valve water connection. We recommend a cold water connection to
give the best wash performance and energy efficiency.
Important!
The appliance should be connected to the water main using a new hose set. Old hose sets should not be
used. If the water inlet hose is not long enough to make a proper connection, it must be
replaced. This hose can be purchased from a Fisher & Paykel dealer or authorised service centre.
Water supply
The dishwasher inlet hose must be connected to an accessible water tap. The water supply to
the dishwasher should be through a 3/4” bsp connector, making sure it is tightly fastened. The
hose coupling must be tightened a further half turn after seal contact
If the water pipes have not been used for an extended period of time, let the water run to make
sure that the water is clear and free of impurities. If this precaution is not taken, there is a risk
the water inlet will get blocked and damage the appliance.
Anti-flood protection
This dishwasher has an anti-flood protection which will stop the water flowing in the event of
a damaged hose or a leak within the machine.
Positioning your dishwasher
Position the appliance in the desired location. The water inlet and drain hoses can be positioned
to the right or left to assist proper installation.
Underbench or built-in appliances should be installed under a continuous surface, which is
attached to adjacent cupboards, in order to ensure that the appliance is stable.
The dishwasher may be installed with the top panel removed.
Electrical Connection
Ensure the voltage and frequency values for the current in your home correspond to those
on the rating plate (located on the stainless steel inner door of your dishwasher), and that the
electrical system is correct for the maximum voltage on the rating plate. Insert the plug into an
electrical socket which is earthed properly (the earthing of the appliance is a safety requirement
mandated by law).
