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 sur-
rounding 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
1 If the dishwasher is installed directly next to a
cooker, a heat-insulating, non-flammable pan-
el (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 sur-
face, 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.
1 If the dishwasher is later used as a free-stand-
ing appliance, the work surface supplied with
it must be re-mounted.
3 The plinth on free-standing appliances is not
adjustable.
