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
Regulations and Local Government By-
Laws.
Lifting & Removing the Dishwasher
We recommend two people should move
the dishwasher, with one person standing
on each side. Always lift from the step at
the lower rear of the dishwasher. Hold
the dishwasher level by placing your other
hand at the top of the door on the front.
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.
This dishwasher must not be connected to
an under sink high pressure “push through”
type hot water system, as damage to the
system will result. If in doubt as to the
suitability of your system, consult your
Plumber.
The dishwasher should not be connected
to a hot water system where the
temperature exceeds 75°C, or where there
is no temperature control, i.e. a wet back
system, unless the system is fitted with a
suitable tempering valve.
While installing the dishwasher, check the
drain hose is not restricted or kinked.
Do not remove the insulation blanket from
the rear of the product. This is not part of
the packaging. It provides sound and heat
insulation.
Plumbing
Drainage
The recommended method of installation
for a Fisher & Paykel DW920 and DW820
Dishwasher is shown in Diagrams 1, 2 & 3
on Page 5. The diagrams are designed to
eliminate problems that often occur with
combined sink-dishwasher waste systems.
The standpipe must have a minimum inside
diameter of 38mm and stand 750mm
above the floor. A drain hose support is
provided to hold the drain hose in place in
the standpipe (see Diagrams 1 and 2). It is
not recommended that the drain hose or
drain pipe be connected directly to a waste
disposal unit (see Diagram 2).
When connecting the drain hose to a sink
trap with a drain hose spigot, it is important
that the drain hose is supported to the
height of the bench (see Diagram 3). Ensure
the drain spigot has a minimum hole size of
15mm and that it has been drilled out.
Water Valve Connections
Both Fisher & Paykel Dishwasher Models
DW920 and DW820 have single valve
water connections. We recommend a cold
water connection to give the best wash
performance and energy efficiency.
Water Supply
The dishwasher inlet hose must be
connected to an accessible water tap. The
water supply to the dishwasher should be
through a 15mm minimum domestic water
pipe. The inlet hose connects to the water
supply tap using a 20mm BSP male thread.
The tap must have an adequate sealing face
for the flat washer supplied, to ensure the
hose connections
are water tight.
Hose coupling must
be tightened a further
half turn after seal
contact.
