Installing the Dishwasher

• The dishwasher must be installed on a firm floor and adjusted to ensure that it is stable and level in all directions.

• To compensate for unevenness in the floor and to match the height of the appliance to that of surrounding units, extend the threaded feet using a screwdriver.

• The drain hose, inlet hose and mains cable must be laid so that they are able to move freely within the plinth area, and so that they are not kinked or crushed when the dishwasher is in position.

• The dishwasher must also be screwed tightly to the work surface or to the adjoining units. This is essential to ensure the dishwasher does not tip up.

Free-standing appliances

If the dishwasher is installed directly next to a cooker, a heat-insulating, non-flammable panel (laminated with aluminium foil on the side next to the cooker) must be fitted flush with the top edge of the work surface (depth 57.5 cm).

If the appliance is built-in under a kitchen work surface, the worktop supplied with the dishwasher can be removed in the following way:

1. Unscrew the screws from the elbows at the rear (1).

2. Push the appliance’s worktop backwards about 1 cm (2).

3. Lift the worktop at the front (3) and remove it.

If the dishwasher is later used as a free-standing appliance, the work surface supplied with it must be re-mounted.

The plinth on free-standing appliances is not adjustable.
