Caring for your dinnerware

The combination of high temperatures and dishwasher detergent may cause damage to some items if they are washed in the DishDrawer®. 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, for example other cutlery. Mixing these items can cause staining. Remove silver cutlery from the DishDrawer® and hand dry it immediately after the program has finished.

Aluminum

Aluminium 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 the 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 i.e. 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 these items by hand.

Glued Items

Certain adhesives are softened or dissolved in machine washing. If in doubt, wash glued items 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®.

DS603 specifications

The Fisher & Paykel DS603 is an innovative and highly efficient dishwasher designed to streamline the dishwashing process while providing exceptional cleaning performance. As part of Fisher & Paykel’s commitment to sustainable living and user-friendly design, the DS603 is packed with features that enhance both functionality and convenience in the kitchen.

One of the standout features of the DS603 is its unique Drawer Dishwasher design. Unlike traditional dishwashers, which have a single, large compartment, the DS603 offers two separate drawers that can be independently operated. This allows users to run smaller loads without the need to fill an entire dishwasher, making it ideal for smaller households or quick cleanups. Additionally, each drawer can accommodate different wash cycles, enabling users to tailor the washing process for delicate glassware or heavily soiled pots and pans.

The DS603 also incorporates a variety of wash programs, including Eco, Fast, and Heavy options, ensuring that dishes are cleaned thoroughly no matter the level of soiling. The Eco wash program is particularly notable, as it uses less water and energy while still providing superb cleaning performance, aligning with modern sustainability goals.

In terms of technology, the DS603 features SmartDrive™ technology, which utilizes a direct current motor that adapts to the load size and type, optimizing the wash performance while minimizing noise. This whisper-quiet operation makes it perfect for open-plan living spaces, ensuring that household activities continue smoothly without the interruption of loud washing cycles.

Another impressive characteristic of the DS603 is its adjustable racking system. Users can configure the interior of the dishwasher to accommodate a variety of dish sizes and shapes, from tall wine glasses to bulky pots. This adaptability enhances user convenience and maximizes the efficiency of each wash cycle.

Furthermore, the DS603 is equipped with a robust water filtration system that ensures clean water is used throughout the washing process. This not only improves washing results but also protects the dishwasher’s internal components from buildup and residue.

The Fisher & Paykel DS603 stands out as a versatile, eco-friendly appliance that combines cutting-edge technology with a user-centric design. Its unique dual-drawer system, customizable wash options, and efficient water use make it a top choice for modern kitchens, reflecting Fisher & Paykel’s dedication to creating quality home appliances that simplify everyday life while being kind to the environment.
