Plumbing -- Water inlet connection
IMPORTANT!
O
The appliance should be connected to the water main using the new water inlet hose supplied.
Old hoses should not be used.
O
Do not shorten the inlet hose.
1
Take note of water connection requirements.
O
The dishwasher has a single valve water connection.
O
We recommend a cold water connection for best performance and energy efficiency.
O
The incoming water temperature should not exceed 25
o
C.
2
Take note of the permitted water pressure extremes.
O
Lowest: 0.3 bar = 3 N/cm2 = 30kPa
O
Where pressure is below 1 bar, contact a qualified plumber.
O
Highest: 10 bar = 100 N/cm2 = 1MPa
O
Where pressure is above 10 bar, a pressure reduction valve must be installed. Contact a qualified
plumber.
3
Connect the water inlet hose to an accessible water tap with a 3/4” BSP connector. Ensure that
there is no kink in the inlet hose that could restrict the flow of water. A 90
o
bend requires a
minimum height of 200mm for a kink-free curve.
O
Ensure incoming water is clear. If the water pipes have not been used for a long period of time,
let the water run to make sure it is clear with no impurities. Not doing so may result in the water
inlet hose getting blocked and damaging the appliance.
O
If required, use a filter insert to filter out deposits from the piping. The filter insert is
available from your Authorised Service Centre or Customer Care.

Electrical connection
O
The dishwasher must not be connected to the electrical supply while installation
is being carried out. Ensure all domestic wiring is properly earthed.
O
Check the rating label (located on the left-hand side of the dishwasher’s stainless
steel inner door) and ensure that the voltage and frequency values for the
current in the house correspond to those on the rating label.
O
Insert the plug into a properly earthed power outlet that has a disconnection
switch.
IMPORTANT!
O
The earthing of the appliance is a safety requirement mandated by law.
O
If the power cord is not long enough to reach the outlet or the outlet to which
the appliance must be connected is not appropriate for the plug, the entire
dishwasher power cord must be replaced. This should only be done by a Fisher
& Paykel authorised technician. Do not modify or cut the plug. Do not use an
adaptor, extension cord, or multi-outlet power board to connect the dishwasher
to the power supply, as these could cause overheating and create a fire hazard.
O
The outlet into which the dishwasher is plugged must remain easily accessible
(e.g. in an adjacent cabinet) even when the appliance is installed. This is to
ensure that the dishwasher can be disconnected from the power supply for safe
cleaning and maintenance.
