38 electrolux installation
Any electrical and/or plumbing
work required to install this
appliance should be carried out by
a qualified electrician and/or
plumber or competent person.
Remove all packaging before
positioning the machine.
If possible, position the machine next
to a water tap and a drain.
This dishwasher is designed to be
fitted under a kitchen counter or
worksurface.
Attention! Carefully follow the
instructions on the enclosed template
for building in the dishwasher and
fitting the furniture panel.
No further openings for the venting of
the dishwasher are required, but only
to let the water fill and drain hose and
power supply cable pass through.
The dishwasher incorporates
adjustable feet to allow the
adjustment of the height.
During all operations that involve
accessibility to internal components
the dishwasher has to be unplugged.
When inserting the machine, ensure
that the water inlet hose, the drain
hose and the supply cable are not
kinked or squashed.
Installation
Water supply connections
This dishwasher may be fed with
either hot (max. 60°) or cold water.
Nevertheless we advise you a cold
water supply.
A hot water supply is not always
efficient with very soiled crockery as it
shortens the washing programmes a
lot.
For making the connection itself, the
coupling nut fitted to the machine’s
supply hose is designed to screw onto
a 3/4" gas thread spout or to a
purpose made quick-coupling tap
such as the Press-block.
The water pressure must be within
the limits given in the "Technical
specifications". Your local Water
Authority will advise you on the
average mains pressure in your area.
The water inlet hose must not be
kinked, crushed, or entangled when it
is being connected.
The dishwasher features fill and drain
hoses which can be turned either to
the left or the right to suit the
installation by means of the locknut.
The locknut must be correctly fitted
to avoid water leaks.
Levelling
Good levelling is essential for correct
closure and sealing of the door.
When the appliance is correctly
levelled, the door will not catch on
either side of the cabinet.
If the door does not close correctly,
loosen or tighten the adjustable feet
until the machine is perfectly level.
Fixing to the adjacent units
The dishwasher must be secured
against tilting.
Therefore make sure that the counter
it is fixed under, is suitably secured to
a fixed structure (adjacent kitchen
units cabinets, wall).
