pearing in this guide are not meant to cover all

possible conditions and situations that may

occur. Common sense, caution, and care must

be exercised when installing, maintaining, or

operating the appliance.

Always contact your dealer, distributor, service

agent, or manufacturer about problems or con-

ditions you do not understand.

RECOGNIZE SAFETY SYMBOLS, WORDS,

LABELS

WARNING – Hazards or unsafe practices which

COULD result in severe personal injury or death.

CAUTION – Hazards or unsafe practices which

COULD result in minor personal injury.

WARNING

CAUTION

Read and follow all instructions before using

this appliance to prevent the potential risk of

fire, electric shock, personal injury or damage to

the appliance as a result of improper usage of

the appliance. Use appliance only for its in-

tended purpose as described in this guide.

To ensure proper and safe operation: Appli-

ance must be properly installed and grounded by

a qualified technician. Do not attempt to adjust,

repair, service, or replace any part of your appli-

ance unless it is specifically recommended in

this guide. All other servicing should be referred

to a qualified servicer. Have the installer show

you the location of the gas shut off valve and how

to shut it off in an emergency.

Always disconnect power to appliance before

servicing.

WARNING:

If the in-

formation in this manual is

not followed exactly, a fire or

explosion may result causing

property damage, personal

injury or death.

– Do not store or use gasoline or

other flammable vapors and liq-

uids in the vicinity of this or any

appliance.

– IF YOU SMELL GAS:

• Do not try to light any appliance.

• Do not touch any electrical

switch.

• Do not use any phone in your

building.

• Immediately call your gas

supplier from a neighbor’s

phone. Follow the gas supplier’s

instructions.

• If you cannot reach your gas

supplier, call the fire

department.

– Installation and service must be

performed by a qualified installer,

service agency or the gas supplier.

WARNING

Gas leaks may occur in your system and

result in a dangerous situation. Gas leaks

may not be detected by smell alone. Gas

suppliers recommend you purchase and

install an UL approved gas detector. In-

stall and use in accordance with the

manufacturer’s instructions.

To Prevent Fire or

Smoke Damage

CAUTION

NEVER leave any items on the cooktop.

The hot air may ignite flammable items

and may increase pressure in closed

containers which may cause them to

burst.

Be sure all packing materials are removed

from the appliance before operating it.

Keep area around appliance clear and free

from combustible materials, gasoline, and

other flammable vapors and materials.

If appliance is installed near a window,

proper precautions should be taken to pre-

vent curtains from blowing over burners.

Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLO-

SIVE when exposed to heat and may be

highly flammable. Avoid their use or stor-

age near an appliance.

Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep

plastics away from parts of the appliance

that may become warm or hot. Do not leave

plastic items on the cooktop as they may

melt or soften if left too close to a lighted

surface burner.

To eliminate the hazard of reaching over

hot surface burners, cabinet storage should

not be provided directly above a unit. If

storage is provided, it should be limited to

items which are used infrequently and which

are safely stored in an area subjected to

heat from an appliance. Temperatures may

be unsafe for some items, such as volatile

liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.

WARNING

2

Save These Instructions for Future Reference

A faint gas odor may indicate a gas leak. If a

gas odor is detected, shut off the gas supply

to the cooktop. Call your installer or local gas

company to have the possible leak checked.

Never use a match or other flame to locate

a gas leak.

In Case of Fire

Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to

avoid spreading the flame. Extinguish flame

then turn on hood to remove smoke and odor.

➢ Smother fire or flame in a pan with a lid or

cookie sheet.

NEVER pick up or move a flaming pan.

Do not use water on grease fires. Use baking

soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extin-

guisher to smother fire or flame.

NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised

near the appliance when it is in use or is still

hot.

NEVER allow children to sit or stand on any

part of the appliance as they could be injured

or burned.

Children must be taught that the appliance

and utensils on it can be hot. Let hot utensils

cool in a safe place, out of reach of small

children. Children should be taught that an

appliance is not a toy. Children should not be

allowed to play with controls or other parts of

the unit.

CAUTION:

NEVER store items of interest to children

in cabinets above an appliance. Children

climbing on the appliance to reach items

could be seriously injured.

Child Safety

NEVER heat an unopened container on the

surface burner. Pressure build-up may cause

container to burst resulting in serious per-

sonal injury or damage to the appliance.

Use dry, sturdy potholders. Damp potholders

may cause burns from steam. Dishtowels or

other substitutes should never be used as

potholders because they can trail across hot

surface burners and ignite or get caught on

appliance parts.

Always let quantities of hot fat used for deep

fat frying cool before attempting to move or

handle.

Do not let cooking grease or other flammable

materials accumulate in or near the appli-

ance, hood or vent fan. Clean hood frequently

to prevent grease from accumulating on hood

or filter. When flaming foods under the hood

turn the fan on.

NEVER wear garments made of flammable

material or loose fitting or long-sleeved ap-

parel while cooking. Clothing may ignite or

catch utensil handles.

Utensil Safety

Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that

are easily grasped and stay cool. Avoid using

unstable, warped, easily tipped or loose-

handled pans. Also avoid using pans, espe-

cially small pans, with heavy handles as they

could be unstable and easily tip. Pans that are

heavy to move when filled with food may also

be hazardous.

Be sure utensil is large enough to properly

contain food and avoid boilovers. Pan size is

particularly important in deep fat frying. Be

sure pan will accommodate the volume of

food that is to be added as well as the bubble

action of fat.

To minimize burns, ignition of flammable ma-

terials and spillage due to unintentional con-

tact with the utensil, do not extend handles

over adjacent surface burners. Always turn

pan handles toward the side or back of the

appliance, not out into the room where they

are easily hit or reached by small children.

Never let a pan boil dry as this could damage

the utensil and the appliance.

About Your

Appliance

Do not use the cooktop as a storage area for

food or cooking utensils.

Potentially hot surfaces include cooktop, and

areas facing the cooktop.

NEVER use this appliance as a space

heater to heat or warm a room. Doing so

may result in carbon monoxide poisoning

and overheating of the oven.

NEVER cover any slots, holes or pas-

sages with materials such as aluminum

foil. Doing so blocks air flow and may

cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Alu-

minum foil may also trap heat causing a

fire hazard.

NEVER obstruct the flow of combustion

and ventilation air by blocking the oven

vent or air intakes. Doing so restricts air to

the burners and may result in carbon mon-

oxide poisoning.

Cooking Safety

Always place a pan on a surface burner

before turning it on. Be sure you know which

knob controls which surface burner. Make

sure the correct burner is turned on and that

the burner has ignited. When cooking is com-

pleted, turn burner off before removing pan to

prevent exposure to burner flame.

Always adjust surface burner flame so that it

does not extend beyond the bottom edge of

the pan. An excessive flame is hazardous,

wastes energy and may damage the appli-

ance, pan or cabinets above the appliance.

NEVER leave a surface cooking operation

unattended especially when using a high

heat setting or when deep fat frying. Boilovers

cause smoking and greasy spillovers may

ignite. Clean up greasy spills as soon as

possible. Do not use high heat for extended

cooking operations.

3

Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,

ceramic or glazed utensils are suitable for

cooktop usage without breaking due to the

sudden change in temperature. Follow

manufacturer’s instructions when using glass.

This appliance has been tested for safe perfor-

mance using conventional cookware. Do not

use any devices or accessories that are not

specifically recommended in this guide. Do not

use eyelid covers for the surface units or

stovetop grills. The use of devices or accesso-

ries that are not expressly recommended in

this manual can create serious safety hazards,

result in performance problems, and reduce

the life of the components of the appliance.

Cleaning Safety

Turn off all controls and wait for appliance

parts to cool before touching or cleaning them.

Do not touch the burner grates or surrounding

areas until they have had sufficient time to

cool.

Clean appliance with caution. Use care to

avoid steam burns if a wet sponge or cloth is

used to wipe spills on a hot surface. Some

cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied

to a hot surface.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, CONT.

Save These Instructions for Future Reference

Electrical Connection

Appliances which require

electrical power are

equipped with a

three-prong

grounding plug

which must be

plugged directly into a properly grounded

three-hole 120 volt electrical outlet.

Always disconnect power to appliance be-

fore servicing.

The three-prong grounding plug offers pro-

tection against shock hazards. DO NOT

CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD GROUND-

ING PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD

PLUG.

If an ungrounded, two-hole or other type

electrical outlet is encountered, it is the

personal responsibility of the appliance

owner to have the outlet replaced with a

properly grounded three-hole electrical

outlet.

Important Safety Notice

and Warning

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic

Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65)

requires the Governor of California to publish

a list of substances known to the State of

California to cause cancer or reproductive

harm, and requires businesses to warn cus-

tomers of potential exposures to such sub-

stances.

Users of this appliance are hereby warned

that the burning of gas can result in low-level

exposure to some of the listed substances,

including benzene, formaldehyde and soot,

due primarily to the incomplete combustion of

natural gas or liquid petroleum (LP) fuels.

Properly adjusted burners will minimize in-

complete combustion. Exposure to these sub-

stances can also be minimized by properly

venting the burners to the outdoors.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING PET

BIRDS: Never keep pet birds in the kitchen or

in rooms where the fumes from the kitchen

could reach. Birds have a very sensitive res-

piratory system. Fumes released during an

oven self-cleaning cycle may be harmful or

fatal to birds. Fumes released due to over-

heated cooking oil, fat, margarine and over-

heated non-stick cookware may be equally

harmful.

Surface Cooking

OFF

HI

LO

MED

LITE

Settings Uses

HI Use HI to bring liquid to a boil, or reach pressure in a pressure

cooker. Always reduce setting to a lower heat when liquids begin

to boil or foods begin to cook.

An intermediate flame size is used to continue cooking. Food

will not cook any faster when a higher flame setting is used

than needed to maintain a gentle boil. Water boils at the same

temperature whether boiling gently or vigorously.

LO Use LO to simmer foods, keep foods warm and melt

chocolate or butter.

Some cooking may take place on the LO setting if the pan is

covered. It is possible to reduce the heat by rotating the knob

toward OFF. Be sure flame is stable.

Suggested Heat Settings

➢ If flame should go out during a cooking

operation, turn the burner off. If a strong

gas odor is detected, open a window

and wait five minutes before relighting

the burner.

➢ Be sure all surface controls are set to the

OFF position prior to supplying gas to

the cooktop.

➢ NEVER touch cooktop until it has

cooled. Expect some parts of the

cooktop, especially around the burners,

to become warm or hot during cooking.

Use potholders to protect hands.

SURFACE CONTROL

KNOBS

Use to turn on the sur-

face burners. An infi-

nite choice of heat set-

tings is available from

LO to HI. At the HI

setting a detent or

notch may be felt.

SETTING THE CONTROLS

1. Place a pan on the burner grate. (To

preserve the grate finish, do not operate

the burners without a pan on the grate to

absorb the heat from the burner flame.)

2. Push in knob and turn immediately coun-

terclockwise to the LITE setting.

➢ A clicking (spark) sound will be heard

and the burner will light. (All ignitors

will spark when any surface burner

knob is turned on. However, only

the selected burner will light.)

3. Turn knob to desired setting.

4. Do not leave cooktop unattended.

LITE

The size and type of cookware will affect the heat setting.

OPERATING DURING A

POWER FAILURE

1. Hold a lighted match to the desired sur-

face burner head.

2. Push in and turn the control knob slowly to

the desired setting.

PILOTLESS IGNITION

Pilotless ignition eliminates the need for a

constant standing pilot light. Each surface

burner has a spark ignitor. Use care when

cleaning around the surface burner.

If the surface burner does not light, check if

ignitor is broken, soiled or wet.

CAUTION

Surface Controls

➢ When lighting the surface burners, be

sure all of the controls are in the OFF

position. Strike the match first and

hold it in position before turning the

knob.

➢ Do not leave the cooktop unattended

when cooking during a power failure.

➢ A properly adjusted burner with clean ports will light within a few seconds. If using natural

gas, the flame will be blue with a deeper blue inner cone.

If the burner flame is yellow or is noisy, the air/gas mixture may be incorrect. Contact a

service technician to adjust. (Adjustments are not covered by the warranty.)

With LP gas, some yellow tips on the flames are acceptable. This is normal and

adjustment is not necessary.

➢ With some types of gas, you may hear a “popping” sound when the surface burner is

turned off. This is a normal operating sound of the burner.

➢ To improve cooking efficiency and to prevent possible damage to the cooktop or pan,

the flame must be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the pan.

To prevent the cooktop from discoloring or

staining:

➢ Clean cooktop after each use.

➢ Wipe acidic or sugary spills as soon as

the cooktop has cooled as these spills

may discolor the surface.

SIMMER BURNER*

This burner is located in the center or left

rear position. The simmer burner offers a

lower BTU flame for delicate sauces or

melting chocolate.

* BTU ratings will vary when using LP gas.

BURNER GRATES

The grates must be properly positioned be-

fore cooking. Improper installation of the

grates may result in chipping of the cooktop.

To ensure proper positioning, align bumpers

on grate bottom with the indentations in the

cooktop.

Do not operate the burners without a pan

on the grate. The grate’s porcelain finish

may chip without a pan to absorb the

heat from the burner flame.

Although the burner grates are durable,

they will gradually lose their shine and/or

discolor, due to the high temperatures of the

gas flame.

SEALED BURNERS

The sealed burners are secured to the cooktop

and are not designed to be removed. Since

the burners are sealed into the cooktop,

boilovers or spills will not seep underneath

the cooktop.

However, the burners should be cleaned after

each use. The head portion of the burner has

a removable cap that is easily removed for

cleaning. (See page 6 for cleaning direc-

tions.)

Burner caps must be correctly placed on the

burner base for proper operation of the burner.

Important safety instructions

WARNING! - When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:

Read all instructions before using the DishDrawer®.

The information in this manual 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® 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 type environments;

–

bed and breakfast type environments.

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 programme.

When loading items to be washed, locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the lid

seal and load sharp knives with the handle up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.

Do not touch the heater plate during or immediately after use.

Do not operate your DishDrawer® 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®.

The DishDrawer should not be left in the open position since this could present a tripping hazard.

The adjustable racks are designed to support cups, glasses and kitchen utensils. When the

adjustable racks are in the DishDrawer® 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®.

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 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.

Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service

or discarding it.

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 dishwasher

when the door is open. Check that the detergent receptacle is empty after completion of the wash

cycle.

Safety and warnings

Important safety instructions

Installation

This DishDrawer® must be installed and located in accordance with the Installation instructions

before it is used. If you did not receive Installation instruction sheets with your DishDrawer®, 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 DishDrawer® 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

DishDrawer®.

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 DishDrawer® 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 DishDrawer® 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 DishDrawer® 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.

Safety and warnings

Important safety instructions

Maintenance

Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before any cleaning or maintenance.

Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically

recommended in this user guide. We recommend that you call an Authorised Repairer.

Keep the floor around your appliance clean and dry to reduce the possibility of slipping.

Keep the area around/underneath your appliance free from the accumulation of combustible

materials, such as lint, paper, rags and chemicals.

Important!

Under no circumstances should you open the drawer whilst the DishDrawer® is in operation.

Operational

Always press the

button to pause and wait until you hear the three additional beeps before

opening the drawer.

The DishDrawer® must be used with the motor assembly, filter plate, drain filter and spray arm in

place.

When disconnecting the appliance pull the plug rather than the power supply cord or junction of

cord to avoid damage.

Take care when loading the DishDrawer® not to load dishware items so they prevent the lid from

properly sealing with the drawer. Items should be placed so they do not protrude above and/or

forced into the drawer, otherwise a service call may result.

Household appliances are not intended to be played with by children. Children or persons with a

disability which limits their ability to use the appliance, should have a responsible person instruct

them in its use. The instructor should be satisfied that they can then use the appliance without

danger to themselves or their surroundings.

Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is used by or near children. Do not allow children

to play inside, on or with this appliance or any discarded appliance.

If a dishwasher cleaner is used, we would strongly recommend a wash programme with detergent

should be run immediately afterward, to prevent any damage to the DishDrawer®.

The DishDrawer® is designed for washing normal household utensils. Items that are

contaminated by petrol, paint, steel or iron debris, corrosive, acidic or alkaline chemicals are not

to be washed in the DishDrawer®.

If the DishDrawer® is not being used for long periods of time, turn the electricity and water supply

to the DishDrawer® off.

Do not operate your appliance by means of an external timer or separate remote-control system.
