Installation, Positioning the Dishwasher

5. Installation

Positioning the Dishwasher

The dishwasher should be aligned to the front of the adjacent cabinets, with allowance made for the door thickness. The dishwasher has water supply and drain hoses that can be positioned on either to the left or the right.

Before installing the dishwasher into a kitchen cabinet, holes must not be drilled into the sides, or door, to avoid compromising the performance and operation of the appliance.

A plastic self-adhesive anti-condensation strip is supplied with the dishwasher. Fix the strip to the underside of the worktop, along the front edge (Fig.5-1).

Connect up the cold water supply, the drain hose and the electrical connections (see below) then slide the dishwasher into the cabinet opening. Make sure the unit sits on the plastic skids supplied.

Cold Water Connection

Connect the water supply hose (supplied loose) to the cold water inlet at the rear. Connect the other end to a ¾“ BSP tap connector (Fig.5-2). Make sure that the washers are in place and that it is fastened securely in place.

IMPORTANT: If the water pipes are new or have not been used for an extended period of time, run the water for

a while to make sure that the water is clear and free of impurities BEFORE connecting to the dishwasher. Failure to carry out this precaution may lead to the water inlet becoming blocked and causing damage the appliance.

Drain Hose Connection

Connect the drain hose the water outlet. Insert the hose into a drainpipe with a minimum diameter of 40 mm, or let it run into a sink, making sure to avoid bending or crimping. If necessary, ﬁt a siphon trap (U-bend) with a connecting piece. The free end of the hose must be at a height of between 40- 100 cm and must not be immersed in water (Fig.5-3).

WARNING! The connecting piece for the siphon trap (U-bend) must be solidly fastened to the wall to prevent the drain hose from moving and allowing water to spill outside the drain (Fig.5-4).
