US CA 10 Caring for your dinnerware

The combination of high temperatures and dishwasher detergent may cause damage to some items if they are washed in a dishwasher. Remember, if in any doubt about any aspect concerning items washed in the DishDrawer®, follow the instructions from the manufacturer of the items, or wash the item by hand.

Cutlery & silverware

All cutlery and silverware should be rinsed immediately after use to prevent tarnishing caused by some foods. The Rinse wash program is useful for this. Silver items should not come into contact with stainless steel, e.g. other cutlery. Mixing these items can cause staining. Remove silver cutlery from the DishDrawer® and hand dry it immediately after the program has finished if needed.

Aluminum

Aluminum can be dulled by dishwasher detergent. The degree of change depends on the quality of the product.

Other metals

Iron and cast iron objects can rust and stain other items. Copper, pewter and brass tend to stain.

Woodware

Wooden items are generally sensitive to heat and water. Regular use in a dishwasher may cause deterioration over time. If in doubt, wash by hand.

Glassware

Most everyday glassware is dishwasher safe. Crystal, very fine and antique glassware may etch that is, become opaque. You may prefer to wash these items by hand.

Plastic

Some plastic may change shape or color with hot water. Check manufacturer’s instructions about washing plastic items. Washable plastic items should be weighed down so they do not flip over and fill with water or fall through the basket during the wash.

Decorated items

Most modern china patterns are dishwasher safe. Antique items, those with a pattern painted over the glaze, gold rims or hand painted china may be more sensitive to machine washing. If in doubt, wash by hand.

Glued items

Certain adhesives are softened or dissolved in machine washing. If in doubt, wash by hand.

Vacation time

If the DishDrawer® is not going to be used for some time, we recommend you ensure the baskets are empty. Leave the inside of the DishDrawer® clean. Leave the drawers ajar to allow air to circulate. Turn off both the power and water supply to the DishDrawer®.

DCS DD224P5, DCS DD124P5 specifications

Fisher & Paykel is well-known for its innovative kitchen appliances, and the DCS DD124P5 and DD224P5 dishwasher models exemplify their commitment to quality and functionality. Designed for the modern kitchen, these dishwashers combine advanced technologies with sleek aesthetics to deliver exceptional cleaning performance.

The DCS DD124P5 is a compact, single-drawer dishwasher ideal for smaller spaces or as an additional unit in larger kitchens. Its 24-inch width makes it versatile enough to fit under counters while still providing robust cleaning capabilities. The DD224P5, on the other hand, features a double-drawer design, offering double the capacity without sacrificing the convenience of installation. Both models are designed to be fully integrated, allowing them to blend seamlessly with kitchen cabinetry and providing a custom look.

One of the standout features of both models is the SmartDrive technology, designed to deliver efficient and effective washing. This technology uses a precise sensor system to determine load size and soil levels, adjusting water usage and cycle duration accordingly. This not only conserves water but also ensures optimal energy efficiency, making it an environmentally friendly choice.

Another key characteristic of the DD124P5 and DD224P5 is their flexibility with wash options. Each drawer can operate independently, meaning you can run two different wash cycles simultaneously. This is particularly useful for households with varying needs, as you can run a quick wash for lighter loads in one drawer while tackling heavily soiled dishes in the other.

Both models feature a variety of wash programs, including options for delicate items, heavy-duty cleaning, and express washes, accommodating diverse dishwashing needs. The intuitive control panel with easy-to-read indicators simplifies the selection process, making it user-friendly for everyone.

Noise reduction is another significant advantage of these dishwashers, with both models operating at a whisper-quiet level. This allows for comfortable conversation and a peaceful kitchen environment even when the dishwasher is running.

In terms of design, Fisher & Paykel opts for a modern stainless-steel finish that adds sophistication to any kitchen. The internal design also prioritizes space and organization, with adjustable racks, foldable tines, and dedicated cutlery trays that enhance loading flexibility.

In summary, Fisher & Paykel's DCS DD124P5 and DD224P5 dishwashers embody the brand's dedication to high performance and modern design. Their innovative features, energy-efficient technologies, and versatile configurations make them ideal choices for any kitchen, catering to both aesthetic preferences and practical needs.
