8. Matching the plinth facia of a
kitchen run
The plinth area of the dishwasher is nor-
mally covered with a plinth run match-
ing the kitchen furniture.
The height (
H
) of the plinth facia around
the dishwasher depends on the plinth
return (
R
) and how much the door front
extends below the dishwasher door (
P
).
Place the plinth facia directly in front
of the kitchen run but do not attach.
Carefully open the dishwasher door.
If the door front comes into contact with
the kitchen plinth when the dishwasher
door is opened the plinth facia in the
area around the dishwasher door
needs to be cut to size.
To do this mark where the edge of
the door front comes into contact
with the plinth facia.
Cut the plinth facia to size along this
line.
Place the plinth facia in front of the
kitchen run again and check whether
the dishwasher door can be opened
fully.
If it cannot, trim the plinth facia to the
correct size.
Secure the plinth facia to the ad-
jacent kitchen units.
If your kitchen does not have a plinth
run matching the kitchen furniture, the
plinth area can be covered with a sep-
arate plinth kit, available at extra cost.
