Installing the Dishwasher
Preparation
- Check the Installation Area: Ensure the space where you plan to install the dishwasher meets the required dimensions: 600 mm width, 820-880 mm height, and at least 570 mm depth from the front of the cabinets. There should also be a 170 mm clearance from the wall for the hoses and 45 mm from the front of the cabinet to the front of the dishwasher.
Installation Steps
-
Position the Hoses: Place the water inlet and drainage hoses more than 600 mm from the corner to prevent crimping. Make sure the hoses are laid out where they won’t be pinched or bent when the dishwasher is pushed back into its space.
-
Secure the Dishwasher Base: Attach the dishwasher’s base to the cabinetry or the floor using screws or brackets. This step ensures the dishwasher doesn’t tilt forward when the door is opened and loaded with dishes.
-
Slide the Dishwasher into Place: Carefully push the dishwasher into the designated space. Be careful not to snag or crush the hoses or electrical wiring.
-
Level the Dishwasher: Adjust the feet of the dishwasher by turning them clockwise or counterclockwise to raise or lower the dishwasher until it’s level. Use a spirit level to confirm it’s even from front to back and side to side. This step is crucial for proper drainage and operation.
-
Attach to Countertop or Side Cabinets: If your dishwasher has mounting brackets, attach them to the underside of the countertop or the sides of the cabinets. This will secure the dishwasher in place and prevent movement.
Correct Positioning- Top Clearance : The upper diagram indicates that there should be a maximum clearance of 2 mm between the top of the dishwasher and the underside of the kitchen countertop. This is to ensure a snug fit without leaving too much space for the appliance to move or for debris to fall in between the gaps.
- Side Clearance : The lower diagram shows the side view, also indicating a maximum clearance of 2 mm between the dishwasher and the adjacent cabinetry or appliances. This is likely to prevent the dishwasher door from catching on adjacent units when opening.
- Door Swing Clearance : The lower diagram includes a note that there should be a maximum distance of 30 mm from the front of the dishwasher door to any opposing surfaces when open. This ensures that the door can open fully without obstruction for easy loading and unloading.
-
Step 6: Adjust the rear foot of the dishwasher from the front using a tool (likely a wrench), with a recommended distance of 8 mm from the floor to ensure it’s level.
-
Step 7: Securing the dishwasher to the countertop or cabinetry using screws in the brackets (labeled ‘A’). It shows the process of screwing the brackets in place to hold the dishwasher securely.
-
Step 8: Finalizing the placement of the brackets and ensuring that everything is locked in place.
-
Step 9: This panel guides connecting the water supply to the dishwasher. It warns to ensure the water tap connection is 3/4 inches and to use the correct hose fitting (possibly ‘F’) for the dishwasher, which seems to be a standard size. The letters (DK, FI, NO, and SE) represent the countries Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden, indicating that the instructions may be specific to models sold in these countries.
-
Step 10: This illustrates how to set up the drainage hose. It shows the dishwasher connected to a sink drain, with the hose loop placed at a minimum of 400 mm above the floor to prevent backflow of water into the dishwasher (this is referred to as a high-loop). The maximum length for the drainage hose is indicated as 4000 mm, ensuring that it can reach the drain without issues. The symbols for WR-Flex 200 and WR-Flex 100 likely refer to different types of hoses or connectors that are compatible with the dishwasher model.
