1. Make sure the area on which the dishwasher is to be installed is
firm. Adjust the dishwasher's height using the four feet so that the
dishwasher is level. The dishwasher may lean no more than 5 mm.
2. Lock the steel feet with the lock nuts.
3. Once the feet are properly adjusted, tighten the anti-tip feet firmly
against the floor.
Anti-tip feet
Built-in
1. Start by measuring the height from the floor to the bottom edge of
the worktop.
2. Measure the height from the floor to the top edge of the dishwasher.
3. Adjust the dishwasher's feet by turning them clockwise to raise or
anticlockwise to lower the machine.
4. Check that there is an air gap of at least 3 mm between the
underside of the worktop and the top edge of the dishwasher.
5. Tighten the lock nuts (lock nut) on the rear feet.
6. Slide the dishwasher into place.
• Pull through the drainage and supply hoses when the machine
is slid into place.
• Check that the hoses have no kinks or sharp bends, and check
that there is nothing that can damage the hoses.
• Check that the machine is installed such that the door opens
freely, otherwise door lock functionality may be disrupted.
7. Make any final adjustments to the front feet (the dishwasher may
lean no more than 5 mm) and tighten the lock nuts.
8. Once the feet are properly adjusted, tighten the anti-tip feet firmly
against the floor.
The dishwasher can also be installed in a recess without its worktop.
See Remove dishwasher worktop.
Drainage connection
This dishwasher is suitable for installing in a raised recess (to attain
an ergonomic working height). This means that the dishwasher can be
placed so that the drainage hose runs to a lower level than the bottom
of the dishwasher, such as by routing it directly to a floor drain. The
dishwasher is fitted with an integrated anti-siphon device to prevent
the machine from being emptied of water during the wash cycle.
min.
14 mm
Max. 950 mm
The drainage hose can also be connected to a connection nipple on
the sink unit's water trap. The connection nipple must have an internal
diameter of at least 14 mm.
The drainage hose may be extended by a maximum of 2.5 m (the total
length of the drainage hose must not exceed 4.5 m). Any joins and
connecting pipes must have an internal diameter of at least 14 mm.
However, the drainage hose should ideally be replaced with a new
hose without joins.
No part of the drainage hose may be more than 950 mm above the
bottom of the dishwasher.
Attach the drainage hose with a hose clamp. Ensure that the drainage
hose has no kinks.
Connection to water supply
Use only the inlet hose supplied with the dishwasher. Do not re-use
old or other spare hoses.
The supply pipe must be fitted with a water tap (stopcock). The water
tap must be easily accessible, so that the water can be shut off if the
dishwasher has to be moved.
Once the installation is complete, turn on the water tap and allow the
pressure to settle for a while. Check that all connections are watertight.
Connection to cold water supply
Connect the dishwasher to the cold water supply if the building is
heated using oil, electricity or gas.
