READ AND SAVE THIS GUIDE
When using your DishDrawer™ 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 DishDrawer™ Dishwasher only for its intended function as described in this user 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 internal lid of the DishDrawer™ Dishwasher and load sharp knives with the handle up to reduce the risk of cut injuries.
- Do not touch the filter plate in the DishDrawer™ Dishwasher base during or immediately after use, as it may be hot.
- Do not operate your DishDrawer™ 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 drawer or dish rack of the DishDrawer™ Dishwasher.
- The drawer 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. When the foldaway cup racks are in the drawer do not lean on or use them to support your body weight.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the DishDrawer™ 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 DishDrawer™ 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.
- 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 DishDrawer™ Dishwasher when the door is open.
- Under no circumstances should you open the drawer whilst the DishDrawer™ Dishwasher is in operation.
Always press to pause and wait until you hear four beeps before opening the drawer.
- The DishDrawer™ Dishwasher must be used with the motor assembly, filter plate, drain filter and spray arm in place. To identify what these parts are refer to 'Maintenance'.
- Take care not to load dishware items so they prevent the internal lid from properly sealing with the drawer. Items should be placed so they do not protrude above the drawer.
- 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.
- If the DishDrawer™ Dishwasher is not being used for long periods of time, turn the electricity and water supply off.
- 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 DishDrawer™ 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 DishDrawer™ Dishwasher.
- Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked dishwasher safe or equivalent. For plastic items not marked, check the manufacturer's recommendations.

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
All cutlery and silverware should be rinsed immediately after use to prevent tarnishing, RINSE cycle is recommended. Silver should not come into contact with stainless steel, mixing these can cause staining. Remove silver cutlery from the DishDrawer™ 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 DishDrawer™ Dishwasher may cause deterioration over time.
Glassware
Most glassware is dishwasher safe. Crystal, very fine and antique glassware may etch and will 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 DishDrawer™ Dishwasher and parts can fail over time. Glassware washed in hard water will become cloudy and dishes will become spotted or covered in a white film over time. Water hardness varies by geographical location.
If you live in a hard water area, and your DishDrawer™ Dishwasher does not have a built-in water softener, 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 5 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 DishDrawer™ Dishwasher.
If your home has soft or softened water
- Avoid using too much detergent.
Remove all food scraps before carefully loading into the drawer. When loading your drawer 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.

Ensure
Spray arms can rotate freely.
Glass and other fragile items are stable.
- All dish openings are facing downwards.
- Plates are evenly spaced.
- All sharp objects are located securely to avoid injury or damage to the product.

Avoid
Overcrowding.
- Any protrusions below the racks and basket that may prevent spray arm rotation.
Any protrusions at the top of the drawer.*
- Blocking water from any items on the foldaway cup racks.
*maximum dishware height for standard tub models is 280mm and 310mm for tall tub models.
Your DishDrawer™ 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.
The Eco program is the most efficient program in terms of combined energy and water consumption. Loading the dishwasher to capacity will contribute to water and energy savings. Pre-rinsing of tableware items will increase water and energy consumption and is not recommended. Washing tableware with a household dishwasher usually consumes less energy and water than hand washing, when used according to manufacturer's instructions.

| RINSE | n/a |
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. During dispensing, a pulsing sound may be heard, this is normal.

The rinse aid dispenser is located on the inside of the drawer underneath the detergent dispenser. It holds approximately 1.7 fl oz (50ml) of rinse aid.
How much rinse aid to use
The amount of rinse aid dispensed in each wash may need adjusted to suit your water conditions. Refer to 'Preferences' and 'Water softener' for guidance.
When to refill rinse aid
If the indicator glows or flashes bright red, refill rinse aid.
- If the indicator glows or flashes dimly or not at all, you do not need to refill - there is enough rinse aid for the wash.
When using lighter coloured rinse aids, the indicator may not dim as prominently as when using darker rinse aids.
How to refill rinse aid

Turn the plug anticlockwise and remove.

Pour rinse aid into the opening taking care not to spill any into the drawer.
Any accidental spillages must be wiped up. If not wiped up, spilt rinse aid will cause excessive foaming which may result in a service call that will not be covered by warranty

Refit the plug, turning clockwise until secure.
Ensure the plug is closed tight with the hand grip in a vertical position.
The salt reservoir must always be filled with granular salt designed for dishwasher water softening. We do not recommend the use of cooking salt like table salt, rock salt or pellets as they may contain impurities that will damage the water softener. Do not add detergent or rinse aid to the salt reservoir. This will cause damage.

The salt reservoir is located on the inside of the drawer next to the detergent dispenser. It holds up to approximately 0.8lb (350g) of salt (actual capacity will vary depending on brand and grain size of salt used).
Double models: each drawer has a separate salt reservoir.
Water hardness recommendations
- Use the table below to determine the optimal water hardness setting. Your local water company will be able to help.
- If you have a household water softener installed, use the setting recommended for water with a hardness under 100 ppm/6 gpg, irrespective of the water hardness in your area.
- If your water hardness is above 625 ppm/36 gpg, the wash performance of your DishDrawer™ Dishwasher will decline over time. The rinse aid setting should be at 5.

Laundry detergents or disinfectants
Cleaning the drain filter, spray arm and filter plate
We recommend that the drain filter and filter plate in each drawer are removed and cleaned once a month or whenever there is evidence of food particles. The spray arm in normal use should require cleaning less frequently. These parts can be shaken to remove any foreign material, cleaned in hot water, then rinsed in clean water.
The DishDrawer™ Dishwasher must be used with the filter plate, drain filter and spray arm correctly in place. We recommend that you always use the DishDrawer™ Dishwasher with the right hand folding tine rack in place.
If a dishwasher cleaner/descaler is used, you must run a wash program with detergent immediately afterward to prevent any damage to your DishDrawer.
Extended periods of disuse
If the DishDrawer™ 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 drawers ajar.
When using your DishDrawer™ Dishwasher for the first time after a long period away, we recommend pouring 3 cups of water into the drawer before use. This helps lubricate components that may have dried out during dis-use.
For ease of access to the drain filter and filter plate, the base rack can be removed by lifting it from the rear. Alternately, remove the cutlery tray, lift the trap door and remove the fixed tire rack. Refer to 'Racking features' for details.
Removing and cleaning the drain filter

Twist the drain filter counter-clockwise and lift to remove.

Separate the holder and the mesh by pinching one side of the mesh and pulling.
Do not attempt to remove the mesh by pinching both sides as this may cause damage.
Clean under hot soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
Replacing the drain filter

Click the drain filter mesh back onto the holder and twist until the arrows on the mesh and holder align.

Push the drain filter back into the tub and rotate clockwise until the arrows on the filter and base of the drawer align.
Removing and cleaning the drain filter plate

With the drain filter removed, carefully lift the drain filter plate up and out. Clean under hot soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
Refitting the drain filter plate

Push the drain filter plate back onto the tub ensuring there are no particles in the recess.
Removing and cleaning the spray arm

Lift the spray arm off the impeller. Shake to dislodge any loose particles, rinse under running water and wipe with a damp cloth.
Refitting the spray arm

Place the spray arm to the impeller. Ensure the arm rotates freely when refitted.
Winterizing (cold climates)
If the DishDrawer™ Dishwasher is installed in a cold climate where temperatures fall below zero, we recommend winterizing.
①

Turn off the water supply.
Disconnect the drain hoses from the sink drain pipe and the water inlet pipe from the water valve.
②

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.

How do I know if there is a fault?
Your DishDrawer™ Dishwasher will beep continuously and a fault code will flash in the display. There are two types of fault codes - 'F' and 'A'.
Double models only
- There may be a fault in one or both of the drawers and the fault codes may be different in each.
- The drawer indicator also flash to show which drawer has a fault.
- If there is a fault in both drawers, both drawer indicators will flash.
- If a fault occurs in one drawer only you are still able to use the other drawer. If you have paused a drawer during a wash program, and the other drawer then faults, the paused drawer indicator will continue flashing but will be dimmed.
