• Page 3: Safety and warnings When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions to minimize the risk of fire or explosion or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life. Use the dishwasher only for its intended function as described in this guide. This appliance is intended for household and similar applications such as staff kitchen areas, farm houses, hotels, motels, and bed and breakfast environments. NSF 184-certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments. Use only detergents or rinse aid recommended for use in a domestic dishwasher and keep them out of reach of children. Do not touch the filter plate in the dishwasher base during or immediately after use, as it may be hot. Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place. To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher. Hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water heater system that has not been used for two weeks or more; it is explosive. Some dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline and can be extremely dangerous if swallowed.
• Page 4: Safety and warnings Household appliances are not intended to be used by children. Children of less than 8 years old must be kept away from the appliance unless continuously supervised. This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above, and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance in a safe way. If a dishwasher cleaner is used, we recommend running a wash program with detergent immediately afterward to prevent any damage. The dishwasher is designed for washing normal household utensils. Items contaminated by petrol, paint, or corrosive chemicals are not to be washed in the dishwasher. Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked dishwasher safe. Installation This dishwasher must be installed and located in accordance with the installation instructions before it is used. Installation and service must be performed by a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician. Do not operate this appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, or has missing or broken parts. This appliance must be grounded. Grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.
• Page 5: Safety and warnings Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance; if it will not fit the outlet, contact a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician or qualified electrician. If the dishwasher is installed as a permanently connected appliance, it must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system. Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before any cleaning or maintenance. When disconnecting the appliance, pull the plug rather than the power supply cord to avoid damage. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in this guide. 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. Do not change or modify the wireless communication device in any way.

• Page 8: First use The combination of high temperatures and dishwasher detergent may cause damage to some items. Rinse cutlery and silverware immediately after use to prevent tarnishing. Most glassware is dishwasher safe, but crystal and antique glassware may etch and develop a cloudy appearance. Some plastics may change shape or color with hot water. Aluminium can be dulled by detergent, depending on the quality of the detergent or aluminium. Most modern china patterns are dishwasher safe, but antique items may be more sensitive to machine washing. Woodware is generally sensitive to heat and water, which may cause deterioration over time. Hard water can be detrimental to the performance of your dishwasher and may cause cloudy glassware and spotted dishes. If you live in a hard water area, we recommend fitting a water softener to the household water supply. Use a dishwasher cleaner/descaler regularly to manage limescale deposits.
• Page 9: Loading suggestions for your dishwasher include ensuring items are placed for optimal water reach from the spray arm. The dishwasher can hold a maximum of 15 place settings. Lower and middle spray arms should rotate freely, and tall items must not obstruct the upper spray arm. Glass and fragile items should be stable, and all dish openings need to face downwards. Plates should be evenly spaced, and sharp objects must be secured to prevent injury or damage. Avoid overcrowding and ensure no protrusions block spray arm rotation or water access.
• Page 10: Your dishwasher has a number of wash programs designed to suit your needs. Selecting the most appropriate cycle for each load will help ensure the best wash results. Heavy: Designed for heavily soiled pots, pans and dishes. Best for dishes that are quite heavily soiled or to remove food soils that have been left to dry overnight. Medium: Suitable for any type of load. The dishwasher automatically selects the optimum wash program. Light: For very lightly soiled dishes with easy to remove soils; no drying. Auto: For normally soiled dishes for optimum water and energy usage. Eco (default): Use for dishes that are quite heavily soiled or food soils that have been left to dry overnight; no drying cycle. Rinse: Prevents odours and soils from drying on dishes.
• Page 11: Wash modifiers can be selected after setting a wash program. Not all modifiers can be combined with all wash programs. 1/2 load adjusts the wash program for smaller loads. Sanitize raises the water temperature during the rinse phase. Dry+ increases the final rinse temperature and the length of the drying phase. Available modifiers for the heavy wash program include 1/2 load, sanitize, and dry+. Available modifiers for the medium wash program include 1/2 load, sanitize, and dry+. Available modifiers for the light wash program include 1/2 load and dry+. The auto wash program includes dry+. The eco wash program is the default setting. The 60min wash program includes 1/2 load and dry+.
• Page 12: Remove all food scraps from dishware before loading into the dishwasher. Ensure the spray arms are free from any obstructions and rotate freely. If rinse aid is required, fill the rinse aid dispenser. Add detergent to the dispenser and close the cover. Tablets can be placed in the detergent dispenser or in the cutlery basket. Press the power button to turn on the display, then select a wash. Refer to 'Rinse aid' for additional guidance. Select from various wash options: Heavy, Medium, Light, Auto, Eco. The rinse and sanitize options are available. The dishwasher has a 60-minute wash cycle.
• Page 13: Setting a wash can be done using various options such as heavy, medium, light, auto, and eco. You can select a wash modifier or 1/2 load if required. Press to select sanitize or dry+. Ensure the door is closed before starting the wash. If the door is not closed within 7 seconds, the wash will be cancelled. Press to pause the wash at any point. Press and hold to cancel the wash. After the wash, the door will automatically open slightly to assist with drying. For best results, unload dishes once cooled. This feature can be disabled in preferences.
• Page 14: Wi-Fi connection & remote mode (some models only) Your appliance may be connected to your home wireless network and operated remotely using the app. Ensure your home Wi-Fi network is turned on. You will be given step by step guidance on both your appliance and mobile device. It may take up to 10 minutes to connect your appliance. For further guidance and troubleshooting, please refer to the app. Download the app from www.fisherpaykel.com/connect. Register and create an account. Add your appliance and set up the Wi-Fi connection. Ensure there is no wash in progress. Press and hold for 4 seconds to enable remote mode.
• Page 15: Delayed start allows you to set your dishwasher to start later in the day. It can be set for up to 12 hours after a wash program has been selected. To set delayed start, add detergent and select a wash program and wash modifier if required. Press and hold to enter delayed start. You can press again to increase the delay time. The wash program will begin at the end of the countdown, provided the door is closed. To cancel delayed start, press and hold.
• Page 16: Keylock Lock the dishwasher controls for cleaning or to prevent unintended use. This can be set at any time including during a wash. Locking the controls Press and hold the designated buttons together to lock. Unlocking the controls Press and hold the designated buttons together until the dishwasher unlocks.
• Page 17: Using sanitize The sanitize wash modifier adjusts the wash program to meet the conditions required by Section 6, NSF 184 for sanitization to occur. Only programs utilizing the sanitize wash modifier are certified to meet the conditions required by Section 6, NSF 184. For sanitization to occur, the temperature of the water needs to reach 158°F (70°C). Ensure all items are dishwasher safe before running the sanitize modifier. If the wash is interrupted or the water supply is turned off during the program, the heating conditions for sanitization may not be met. If sanitization has been successful, the wash will finish as normal. If sanitization has not been successful, an alert will sound and a code will show on the display. Check if the water supply has been turned off or the wash program interrupted. Press and hold to stop the beeping, then again to clear the alert code. Reset sanitize and run the cycle again.
• Page 18: You can adjust any of the below settings prior to starting a wash cycle. Controls the amount of rinse aid dispensed. Your dishwasher is set to automatically power on for 30 seconds after the door is opened. Adjusts tone settings. When set to off, all tones will be silenced except fault alerts.

• Page 20: Detergent Warning: Dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline and can be extremely dangerous if swallowed. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes and keep children and infirm persons away from the dishwasher when it is open. Check the powdered detergent dispenser is empty after each wash. Unsuitable detergents include liquid detergents, laundry detergents, hand washing liquids, soaps, and disinfectants. For powdered detergent quantities, refer to the 'Powdered detergent quantity recommendations' table and the detergent manufacturer’s guidance. No detergent is needed for rinse. Check that the dispenser is empty and dry before adding powdered detergent or tablet. Remove any excess detergent then slide the cover closed; it will click into place. If required, add additional detergent to the pre-wash compartment on top of the dispenser. When washing heavily soiled dishware in hard water, more detergent may be required.
• Page 21: Detergent quantity recommendations are provided for optimal use in wash programs. For hard water areas, more detergent may be needed. The table outlines the recommended detergent amounts for different wash programs. Pre wash compartment and main wash compartment have specific detergent requirements. No detergent is needed for the pre wash compartment in the auto program. Full detergent is recommended for the main wash compartment in the heavy and eco programs. For the light cycle, tablets are not recommended. The rinse program requires full detergent in the pre wash compartment. Different wash programs have varying detergent needs based on load size. Refer to 'Water hardness' for additional details on detergent requirements.
• Page 22: Rinse aid provides a streak-free finish to glass and dishware as well as preventing metal from tarnishing. We recommend using a liquid rinse aid regularly for optimal drying results. The rinse aid dispenser is located on the inside of the door next to the detergent dispenser. The amount of rinse aid dispensed in each wash may need to be adjusted to suit your water conditions. Rinse aid is not required if the tablet has it already built into it. When the rinse aid level is low, the rinse aid indicator on the control panel will light up to remind you to refill the dispenser. Lift the cover open and pour rinse aid into the opening. Do not fill past the MAX line. Any accidental spillages into the dishwasher or detergent bucket must be cleaned up immediately. Spilt rinse aid may result in excessive foaming.
• Page 23: Racking features include a cutlery basket designed to reduce the risk of injury by loading knives and sharp utensils with handles facing up. Mixing spoons, knives, and forks within each section helps prevent nesting and ensures proper water circulation. The cutlery basket features a removable anti-nesting grid that separates cutlery items to stop them from nesting together. The small items container is used to secure small, lightweight items like baby bottle teats. This container can clip into or on the side of the cutlery basket or be placed elsewhere in the dishwasher. When placing the container elsewhere, ensure water from the spray arm can reach the items inside. If laid flat, the solid plastic side of the container should face up.
• Page 24: Racking features Adjust the height of the upper basket to make space for taller items. You can adjust the height either while the basket is empty or loaded. If the basket is loaded, we recommend raising or lowering one side at a time. Both sides of the basket must be adjusted to the same height. To raise, pull the basket upwards until it clicks into place. To lower, pull up the levers on each side to release, lower to the desired position, and release the levers to secure. Adjust the height of the foldaway cup racks to suit or fold out of the way to make space for other items. Use the notches to support wine glass stems. To adjust height, fold up to unlock, slide up or down to adjust, and fold back down to lock in position. All middle basket tines of the folding tine rack can be folded down as needed to make space for other items.
• Page 25: Maintenance Disconnect the dishwasher from the power supply and allow it to cool before undertaking any cleaning or maintenance. We recommend that the drain filter and filter plate are removed and cleaned once a month or whenever there is evidence of food particles. The spray arms in normal use should require cleaning less frequently. Wipe surfaces with a damp cloth and dry using a lint-free cloth. We do not recommend using hand washing liquids, stainless steel cleaners, laundry detergents, scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, or acid/alkaline cleaners. The dishwasher must be used with the filter plate, drain filter, and spray arms correctly in place. If your dishwasher is not going to be used for some time, turn off the power and water supply, leaving it clean and empty with the door ajar. When using your dishwasher for the first time after a long period away, pour 3 cups of water into the dishwasher before use.
• Page 26: Maintenance Removing and cleaning the filter Twist the filter anti-clockwise to release. Lift to remove. Separate the filter cap from the base by pressing the release buttons and lifting. Do not attempt to remove the filter by force as this may cause damage. Clean under hot water and rinse thoroughly. Replacing the filter Align the filter cap with the notch on the filter base. Click together to secure. Place the drain filter back into the dishwasher base. Rotate clockwise to click into place.
• Page 27: Maintenance Removing and cleaning the filter plate With the filter removed, carefully lift the filter plate up and out. Clean under hot water and rinse thoroughly. Replacing the filter plate Slot the filter plate under the locating clips at the rear of the drain and push firmly back into place. Ensure the filter plate is flush with the dishwasher base. Cleaning the upper spray arm Do not remove the upper spray arm for cleaning. Clean with a small, plastic-bristled brush. If heavily soiled or blocked use a dishwasher cleaner/descaler. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Cleaning the middle spray arm To remove the middle spray arm, turn the locking nut clockwise to release.
• Page 28: Maintenance Cleaning the lower spray arm To remove the lower spray arm, lift it from the base of the dishwasher. Rinse the spray arm thoroughly under running water, then refit. Ensure the arm rotates freely when refitted. Winterizing (cold climates) If the dishwasher is installed in a cold climate where temperatures fall below freezing, we recommend winterizing. Turn off the water supply. Disconnect the drain hoses from the sink drain pipe and the water inlet pipe from the water valve. Drain the water from the hoses, inlet pipe, and water valve, using a bucket or pan to collect the water. Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve and hoses to the sink drain pipe. Remove the drain filter and the filter plate.
