Frequently Asked Questions - DW24UT4I2 Fisher & Paykel

What to do if the dishwasher does not start?

First check that the appliance is plugged in and the power supply is active. Make sure the door is properly closed. Press the Start button (▶). Open the water tap and check that the supply hose is not blocked. If the problem persists, clean the filter of the supply hose.

Why is there foam in the dishwasher?

Foam can be caused by unsuitable detergent (e.g., dish soap), excess rinse aid, or too high a setting. Use only dishwasher powder or tablets, and reduce the amount of rinse aid. Wipe up any spills immediately.

How to clean the filters?

Remove the filter by turning it counterclockwise. Separate the cap from the base by pressing the release buttons. Clean both parts with hot water and a soft brush. Reassemble and replace by turning clockwise. Also clean the filter plate and spray arms once a month.

Why does water remain at the bottom after a cycle?

This can be due to a kinked or blocked drain hose, or a clogged filter. Check that the drain connection is not blocked. Clean the filters and ensure the pump is not blocked (see the guide to unblock the pump).

How to use the delay start?

First select a wash program and an option if necessary. Press the Delay start button (⏲) to set the delay (up to 12h). Press Start (▶) and close the door. The cycle will start automatically at the end of the countdown.

How to connect the dishwasher to Wi-Fi?

Download the Fisher & Paykel app and create an account. On the dishwasher, press and hold the Remote and Start (▶) buttons simultaneously for 4 seconds. Follow the instructions in the app to complete setup. The connection may take up to 10 minutes.

What is the purpose of the Sanitize option?

The Sanitize option raises the water temperature to 70°C during the final rinse to disinfect the dishes, in accordance with NSF 184 standard. It is available on Heavy, Medium, and Auto programs. If disinfection fails, an error code appears; restart the cycle with this option.

How to unlock the keys if the key lock is enabled?

Open the door to pause the cycle. Press and hold the Lock and Start (▶) buttons simultaneously for 4 seconds. You can also cancel the cycle by holding the Cancel button.

What do error codes F and A mean?

Codes F are resettable errors: hold Cancel to stop the alarm, then press again to clear the code. Codes A require intervention: for example, A10 = no water (check water supply), A20 = drainage fault (clean pump and hose). Refer to the manual for the full list.

Why does my glassware have a milky appearance?

This is often due to hard water and/or a lack of rinse aid. Increase the rinse aid setting (up to 6) and the amount of detergent. Use a descaler regularly. If the problem persists, install a water softener.

READ AND SAVE THIS GUIDE

When using your Dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:

General

• The information in this guide must be followed to minimise 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 to be used in household and similar applications such as:

• staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments
- farm houses
• by clients in hotels, motels and other residential environments
• 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. 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 Dishwasher and load sharp knives with the handle up to reduce the risk of cut injuries.
• 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.
• Do not tamper with the controls.
• Do not abuse, sit on, stand in or on the door or dish rack of the Dishwasher.
• The door should not be left in the open position since this could present a tripping hazard.
• The foldaway cup racks are designed to support cups, glasses and kitchen utensils. Do not lean on or use the foldaway cup racks to support your body weight.
  • To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the Dishwasher.
• 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 the 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.
• Some dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline. They can be extremely dangerous if swallowed. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes and keep children away from the Dishwasher when the door is open.
• The Dishwasher must be used with the filter plate, filter, and spray arms in place. To identify what these parts are refer to 'Maintenance'.
• If the Dishwasher is not being used for long periods of time, turn the electricity and water supply off.
  • Take care not to load dishware items so they prevent the door from closing.
  • Cleaning and maintenance shall not be done by children without supervision.

• Do not allow children to play inside, on or with this appliance or any discarded appliance.

• 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 or lack of experience and knowledge, if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance in a safe way and they understand the hazards involved.

• 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 that are contaminated by petrol, paint, steel, iron debris, corrosive, acidic or alkaline chemicals are not to be washed in the Dishwasher.
• Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked dishwasher safe or equivalent. For plastic items not marked, check the manufacturer's recommendations.
• Avoid washing containers with glued on labels. Labels removed during a wash cycle may cause damage to the wash system.

Installation

• This Dishwasher must be installed and located in accordance with the Installation instructions before it is used. If you did not receive Installation instructions with your Dishwasher, you can order them by calling your Authorised Repairer or download them from our local Fisher & Paykel website, listed on the back cover.
• Installation and service must be performed by a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician.
• If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician or a qualified trades person in order to avoid a hazard.
• Ensure the Dishwasher is secured to adjacent cabinetry using the brackets provided. Failure to do so may result in an unstable product, which may cause damage or injury.
• Do not operate this appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled or has missing or broken parts, including a damaged power supply cord or plug.
• Do not store or use petrol, or other flammable vapours and liquids in the vicinity of the Dishwasher.
• Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized power supply circuit to avoid electrical overload.
• Ensure 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 Dishwasher 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 Dishwasher 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.
• Any power-supply cord kit purchased for use with this appliance must be marked for use with dishwashers. 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 Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

- If the Dishwasher is installed as a permanently connected appliance, this appliance must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.

Maintenance

• 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 or junction of cord to avoid damage.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in this guide. We recommend contacting a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician or Customer Care.
• 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.

Dishware

The combination of high temperatures and dishwasher detergent may cause damage to some items. Refer to the manufacturer's guidance or wash by hand if in doubt.

Cutlery & silverware

Rinse cutlery and silverware immediately after use to prevent tarnishing. We recommend using the RINSE cycle. Silver should not come into contact with stainless steel, mixing these can cause staining. Remove silver cutlery from the dishwasher and hand dry immediately.

Aluminium

Aluminium can be dulled by detergent. The degree of change depends on the quality of the detergent or aluminium.

Other metals

Iron and cast iron can rust and stain other items. Copper, pewter and brass tend to stain.

Woodware

Woodware is generally sensitive to heat and water. Regular use in the dishwasher may cause deterioration over time.

Glassware

Most glassware is dishwasher safe. Crystal, very fine and antique glassware may etch and develop a cloudy appearance.

Plastics

Some plastics may change shape or colour with hot water. Refer to the manufacturer's guide. Dishwasher safe plastic should be weighed down so it does not flip and fill with water or fall through the base rack 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.

Glued items

Certain adhesives are softened or dissolved in machine washing.

Water hardness

Hard water is water with a high concentration of minerals such as calcium and magnesium. It can be detrimental to the performance of your dishwasher and parts can fail over time. Glassware washed in hard water will become cloudy over time and dishes will become spotted or covered in a white film. Water hardness varies by geographical location.

If you live in a hard water area, we recommend fitting a water softener to the household water supply.

If your home has hard water

• Refer to 'Powdered detergent quantity recommendations'.
- Use rinse aid. We recommend you raise the rinse aid setting to 6 to help improve wash performance. Refer to 'Preferences' for details.

Use a dishwasher cleaner/descaler regularly, or whenever you notice a build-up of limescale deposits in your dishwasher.

If your home has soft or softened water

- Avoid using too much detergent.

When loading your Dishwasher ensure items are placed so water coming from the rotating spray arm below can reach all areas. Wash performance will be reduced if it can't.

Your dishwasher can hold up to a maximum of 15 place settings.

Using SANITIZE

The SANITIZE wash modifier adjusts the wash program to meet the conditions required by Section 6, NSF 184 for sanitization to occur. While SANITIZE is running, the wash program is monitored to ensure that these conditions are met.

Only programs utilising the SANITIZE wash modifier are certified to meet the conditions required by Section 6, NSF 184. Other wash programs may not reach the temperatures required for sanitization to occur. Refer to 'Wash modifiers' for wash programs that have sanitize available.

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. You may need to run the program again.

Maintenance parts

① Filter
② Filter plate
③ Lower spray arm

Not shown: middle and upper spray arms.

Cleaning surfaces

Wipe with a damp cloth and dry using a lint-free cloth. We do not recommend using the following cleaning aids as they may damage the surfaces:

• Plastic or stainless steel scouring pads
• Abrasive, solvent, household cleaners
  • Acid or alkaline cleaners

• Hand washing liquids or soap
• Stainless steel cleaners or polishes
• Laundry detergents or disinfectants

Cleaning the filter, spray arms and filter plate

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. Lower and middle spray arms can be shaken to remove any foreign material, cleaned in hot water, then rinsed in clean water.

The dishwasher must be used with the filter plate, drain filter and spray arms correctly in place. If using a dishwasher cleaner or descaler, refer to manufacturer instructions.

Extended periods of disuse

If your dishwasher is not going to be used for some time we recommend turning 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, we recommend pouring 3 cups of water into the dishwasher before use. This helps lubricate components that may have dried out during disuse.
