Installing the dishwasher
•
The dishwasher must be installed on a firm floor and adjusted to ensure that it
is stable and level in all directions.
•
To compensate for unevenness in the floor and to match the height of the ap
pliance to that of surrounding units, extend the threaded feet using a screw
driver.
•
The drain hose, inlet hose and mains cable must be laid so that they are able to
move freely within the plinth area, and so that they are not kinked or crushed
when the dishwasher is in position.
Freestanding appliances

If the dishwasher is installed directly next to a cooker, a heatinsulating, non
flammable panel (laminated with aluminium foil on the side next to the cooker)
must be fitted flush with the top edge of the work surface (depth 57.5 cm).
If the appliance is builtin under a kitchen
work surface, the worktop supplied with
the dishwasher can be removed in the fol
lowing way:
1.
Unscrew the screws from the elbows at the
rear (1).
2.
Push the appliance’s worktop backwards
about 1 cm (2).
3.
Lift the worktop at the front (3) and re
move it.

If the dishwasher is later used as a freestanding appliance, the work surface
supplied with it must be remounted.
