BEFORE INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT!

Ensure your appliance is not exposed to any heat generating appliance eg cooktop, oven or dishwasher.

●
The appliance has front and rear rollers for moving the appliance forward and backward. Do not move the appliance sideways to avoid damaging the rollers or the floor covering/surface.
●
●
The appliance must be installed by a qualified installer, or Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician to avoid faulty electrical connection and water leaks.
●
●
All connections for water, electrical power and grounding must comply with local codes and ordinances and be made by licensed personnel when required.

Check the dimensions of the cabinetry (width, depth, height, floor level, finished alcove returns).

●
Ensure that the ventilation openings in the cabinetry are clear of obstruction.

Ensure that there is a separate power outlet for each appliance.
