Supplied accessories

Anti-tipping device

The anti-tipping device is mounted on the back wall in the recess at the finished installation height. After the appliance is in the recess and raised in height, the hook of the anti-tipping bracket will connect with the appliance top and prevent tipping.

Mounting the anti-tipping device

WARNING!

  • The anti-tipping bracket must be mounted imperatively to prevent the appliance from tipping over when the fully stocked door is opened.
  • Be sure that there is no plumbing or electrical wiring located in this area which could be damaged during installation.
  1. Remove the anti-tipping bracket. The screws are no longer needed.

Adjustment of the anti-tipping bracket for use in a 635 mm deep recess

Both base parts of the anti-tipping bracket must be adjusted for use in a recess with a depth of 635 mm.

  • Loosen the screws.
  • Move the base part back or forth.
  • Tighten the screws.

If the recess is deeper than 635 mm, a spacer must be mounted between anti- tipping bracket and wall.

Safety instructions and warnings for water connection

  • Do not install the water connection while the appliance is connected to an electrical socket.
  • The connection to the mains water supply may only be made by a trained and licensed plumber.

WARNING!
Connect to potable water supply only.

Water connection requirements

  • The water pressure must be in the range of 0.28-0.62 MPa (2.8-6.2 bar).
  • Failure to meet these requirements may result in water dis-penser malfunction and a water leak that can damage flooring and surrounding furniture.
  • A shut-off valve must be installed between the water line and the mains water supply. It must be easily accessible so that the water supply can be stopped immediately if necessary.
    IMPORTANT
    Do not install the shut-off valve behind the appliance.

Models EKB 9471 and EKB 9671 only
The water supply to the appliance must be through a cold water pipe that can withstand the operating pressure and complies with the hygiene regulations. For this, use the stainless steel hose supplied (length 3 m).

IMPORTANT
Do not use any old or already premounted water supply lines.

Appliance installation

Move the appliance towards the final position and leave enough space to work behind.

Models EKB 9471 and EKB 9671 only

  • Apply the appliance cover strips to the left and right front edge of the appli-ance housing, align in height with the appliance top and screw into place. The strip is transparent so that the designed attachment holes on the appliance hous-ing are visible.
    IMPORTANT
    Use the correct flat-headed screws, otherwise the edges of the kitchen unit will be damaged when sliding the appliance into the recess.

  • Mounting the depth adjustment aid into the cover strips

  • Slide the appliance into the recess. To avoid damage, move the mains cable and the water line at once.

  • Remove the transportation safety components using the Torx 25 key.

DANGER!
Risk of death or serious injury due to appliance tipping.
Do not open the appliance door before the height adjustment is finished and the anti-tipping bracket supports the appliance.

IMPORTANT
When turning the screws with an electric screwdriver, please make absolutely sure that:

  • Maximum rotation speed = 400 rpm
  • Maximum torque = 1 Nm

Failure to follow this instruction will result in damage to the height adjustment.

Push the mounting strip upwards.
The bottom edge of the mounting strip must be aligned with the top edge of the adjacent unit door.

Internal door panel

Unscrew the attachment bracket with the mounting strip. To do so, use the ring spanner provided.

Position the attachment bracket in the middle of the door panel, align horizontally and secure to the door panel using eight 4 x 14 screws.

IMPORTANT
Door handles should be mounted now because the panel support strips will cover the mounting holes.

Position the panel support strips with the top lug in the cut-out of the top attachment bracket. Align the strips parallel to the side edge of the panel and screw into place with ten 4 x 14 screws.

IMPORTANT
If the door has to be limited to a 90° opening angle, it must be done before the panel is mounted onto the appliance door. See chapter “Important note for changing over door hinges or limiting the door opening angle to 90°” on page 37.

Open the appliance door.
Place the door panel on the top adjusting screws and align in the centre.
Screw the hex nuts onto the adjusting bolts and tighten.

Close the door and check the position of the door panel.

IMPORTANT
After a certain time and loading, it may be necessary to readjust the door.

  • Align the panel in its vertical posi-tion if necessary.

  • Loosen the hex nuts and turn the adusting bolts with the Torx 15 key provided.

  • Align the panel horizontally with the long slots in the at-tachment bracket.

  • Tighten the hex nuts. Use the 10 mm spanner pro-vided.

  • Align the panel in its depth.

  • Loosen the screws, align the panel and tighten the screws.

  • Align the panel in its depth at the bottom.

  • Loosen the screws, align the panel and tighten the screws. Use the Torx 20 key provided.

    IMPORTANT Be sure each door rack is fixed properly in the clip-in strip.

Please note in case of removing appliance from the recess
If the appliance has to be removed from the recess again, please make sure you take account of the following:

  1. Remove the door panel.

  2. Lower the appliance using the height adjustment unit.

  3. Mount the transportation safety components with two screws for each support using a Torx 25 key.

DANGER!
Risk of death or serious injury due to the appliance tipping over.
Do not remove the appliance without the mounted transportation safety components.

Important note for changing over door hinges or limiting the door opening angle to 90°

  • Changing the door hinges or limiting the door opening angle to 90° should only be carried out by a trained expert.
