User preference settings - CC models These allow you to: optimise your dishwasher for the type of adjust screen brightness and contrast detergent you use turn the beeps on or off turn rinse aid on or off reset the dishwasher to original have the temperature displayed in factory settings.
Caring for your dinnerware The combination of high temperatures and dishwasher detergent may cause damage to some items if they are washed in the dishwasher. Remember, if in any doubt about any aspect concerning items washed in the dishwasher, follow the instructions from the manufacturer of the items, or wash the item by hand.

Loading Upper basket and utensil tray Utensil tray The upper basket is designed to hold items like glasses, cups, saucers, plates, small bowls and shallow pans. Use the utensil tray to securely hold long or sharp items like knives, chopsticks, or ladles. Ensure that knife blades are facing down.
Page 31
Loading Adjusting the height of the upper basket - CC models You can adjust the height of the upper basket even when it is fully loaded, as you do not have to remove it from the dishwasher. To lift the basket, hold it on one side and carefully pull upwards until it clicks into place.
Page 32
Loading Lower basket Place the largest items here: pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls. Fold down the tines to place pots and pans flat on the bottom. Ensure dishware items do not block the spray arm above from rotating. If you need more height for tall items, you can raise the upper basket.
Water hardness and dishwashing What is water hardness? Hard water is water with a high concentration of minerals such as calcium and magnesium. In soft water, this concentration is low. Water hardness varies by geographical location. How does water hardness affect dishwashing? Hard water can be detrimental to the performance of your dishwasher.
Wash programmes and detergent quantities The quantities in the table below are for powdered detergent and typical levels of soiling. If your home has softer or harder water, or to suit the particular load, you may need to adjust these quantities.
Adding detergent Important! Only use detergents recommended for automatic dishwashers. Dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline. They can be extremely dangerous if swallowed. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes and keep children and infirm persons away from the dishwasher when it is open. Check that the detergent dispenser is empty after completion of each wash programme.
Using rinse aid We highly recommend using liquid rinse aid regularly to get the best drying results. Rinse aid gives a streak-free, sparkling clean look to glass and chinaware. In addition, it prevents metal from tarnishing. Rinse aid indicators When to refill the rinse aid dispenser When rinse aid level becomes low, the rinse aid indicators on the dispenser and the control panel will light up to remind you to refill the dispenser.
After the wash When the wash programme is over, the dishwasher will beep six times, then automatically turn off in a few seconds. In CC models, a drying fan will continue to run for about an hour, or until the door is opened. Open the door slightly and leave it ajar (about 100 mm) to help the drying process.
Care and cleaning Over time, food residue or limescale deposits may accumulate inside your dishwasher. These may reduce efficiency, and food residue may produce a bad odour. Inspect and clean your dishwasher regularly. Important ! Before any cleaning or maintenance, always disconnect the dishwasher from the power supply, turn off the water supply, and wait until all parts of the dishwasher have cooled.
Page 39
Care and cleaning Cleaning the filters The filters prevent larger food particles in the wash water from reaching the pump. These particles may occasionally block the filters. We recommend cleaning the filters whenever there is evidence of food particles. Remove the filters, as shown, then rinse them thoroughly under running water. Important ! When cleaning the underside of the filter plate, take care handling its sharp outer edge.
Fault codes If the dishwasher malfunctions, it will display a fault code and beep. Check the table below to see if you can correct the fault yourself before contacting Fisher & Paykel Customer Care. If the dishwasher still will not work, or shows any other fault code Press to turn the dishwasher off and wait a few minutes.
