1. Fit worktop protection
A stainless steel “niro” coverplate is
supplied with the machine to protect
the underside of the worktop against
steam rising from the machine.
The coverplate is supplied as standard.
Squeeze sealant from the tube sup-
plied
b
into the angle of the “niro”
plate.
Align the “niro” plate
c
to the front
edge of the worktop - see illustration -
and then use tacks supplied to nail
the “niro” plate to the underside of
the worktop.
On worktops with wood or laminate
edging, the tacks should be nailed
through the holes at the back.
2. Building the dishwasher into
a niche
Connection to water and drainage
should be sited beside and not behind
the dishwasher for accessibility. Con-
nections are usually made in the area
under the sink. Many kitchen unit
manufacturers provide a cutout in the
base of the sink base unit for the hoses
to be fed through.
If the base unit has no opening and if
there is not an opening through the
plinth area for connections, one must
be cut.
Suggested dimensions: 60 x 110 mm.
For some installation steps it is
necessary to pull the dishwasher
slightly out of the recess. Therefore
do not make these connections until
last.
