INSTALLATION
Before you begin
- Check cavity dimensions are correct for the type of dual installation you require.
- Unpack appliances from packaging following guidance on individual cartons.
- Ensure the floor is protected from damage during unpacking and installation.
- Check that the Joiner Kit is complete.
- Always position the two appliances side-by-side with the door hinges on the far left and right, ensuring you have enough space to access the rear of the appliances.
-
Remove the rear compartment cover using a Phillips screwdriver. This will be re-attached later.
-
Remove the screw on the filter dryer retaining bracket using a Phillips screwdriver.
-
Remove the retaining bracket, ensuring the filter dryer does not touch any pipes or the side of the rear compartment.
-
The rear bracket should only be added to the left-hand appliance as viewed from the front. Align the top edge of the rear bracket to the bottom edge of the back panel. Holes for the bracket will need to be drilled into the side of the chassis. Secure bracket from the side using three of the 8×16 screws.
-
Slot the second, right-hand appliance as viewed from the front, into the bracket, ensuring it sits securely. Do not fix it in place.
-
Adjust the front feet of both appliances until level. Turn clockwise to decrease the height or anti-clockwise to increase height.
-
At the top of each appliance, remove the three screw caps using a flat-blade screwdriver.
-
Align the front upper bracket to the screw holes. Secure by partially engaging the 5×20 screws.
-
Ensure both appliances are level and aligned before securing the second appliance to the rear bracket using three 8×16 screws. Replace both rear compartment covers using a Phillips screwdriver.
IMPORTANT!
Two people are required. -
Carefully tilt the connected appliances backwards to access the rear feet and the lower front bracket location.
-
Remove the leveling feet from both appliances using a socket wrench by rotating them anti-clockwise. Remove the mounting bolts and washers, and set them aside.
-
Align the front lower bracket to the spaces created by removing the leveling feet. Ensure the bracket is correctly oriented as illustrated. Secure using the leveling feet and mounting bolts before lowering the appliances carefully.
-
Open both doors for easy access to the center join.
-
Locate the center trim panel assembly to the tab on the lower bracket.
-
Position the center trim panel under the upper bracket before re-tightening the six screws.
-
Secure the center trim panel using the remaining 8×16 screw.
-
Close the doors and position the appliances within the cavity.
ADJUSTING DOOR ALIGNMENT
- Ensure front leveling feet are adjusted correctly. Incorrect leveling may affect door alignment.
