INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS Installing the Dishwasher • • The dishwasher must be installed on a firm floor and adjusted to ensure that it is stable and level. To compensate for unevenness in the floor and to match the height of the appliance to that of surrounding units extend the threaded feet by unscrewing. Depending on the design of the threaded feet use either – an open-end spanner or – a screwdriver.
Depending on type, the dishwasher is to be installed as follows: Dishwashers That Can Be Integrated (see installation template supplied) 3 The door of the appliance can be fitted with a wooden furniture door with the following dimensions Width: 591 – 594 mm Thickness: 16 – 24 mm Height: (variable) dependent on Weight: max.
1 If the dishwasher is later used as a freestanding appliance, the original work surface must be re-mounted. 3 The plinth on free-standing appliances is not adjustable. • • • • 26 Free-standing appliances can be fitted with a décor panel to match the facings of other kitchen equipment. The décor panels must be obtained from the kitchen manufacturer. A décor frame is necessary for installation, and can be obtained as an accessory from the dealer if not included in the scope of delivery.
Connecting the Dishwasher Water connection The dishwasher is fitted with safety devices that prevent the return of wash water into the drinking water system and comply with the applicable plumbing regulations. • The dishwasher can be connected to cold and hot water supplies up to max. 60 °C. • The dishwasher must not be connected to open hot water appliances or instantaneous water heaters.
Water drain Drain hose The drain hose must not be kinked, crushed or entangled. Connecting the drain hose: – Maximum permitted height: 1 metre. – Minimum required height 30 cm above the lower edge of the machine. 1 • Extension hoses • • Extension hoses are available from your dealer or customer service. The internal diameter of the extension hoses must be 19 mm to ensure that the function of the appliance is not impeded.
Electrical connection 1 In compliance with electric company technical requirements for mains connections, hard-wired connections to the mains may only be made by approved electri-cians. When connecting the appliance, observe the German VDE regulations and, if applicable, any additional conditions required by your local electricity supplier. Following installation, live parts and live insulated wiring must not be accessible using a finger test in accordance with EN 60335/DIN VDE 0700.
Connections The water inlet and drain hoses, as well as the mains cable must be connected beside the dishwasher because there is no space for them behind the appliance. The example plumbing and electrical installation given below can only be regarded as a recommendation; the actual situation where the dishwasher is to be installed will define the exact installation (available connections, local electricity and water board regulations for connecting up appliances, etc.).
