IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 qualified technician.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a dealer or Authorised Repairer or a
similar 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.
Make sure that 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. This
appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. WARNING - Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service representative if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance; if it will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified technician.
If the dishwasher is installed as a permanently connected appliance:
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS - 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.
