3. Install the dishwasher under
the countertop
The dishwasher must be installed so
that the water and electricity supplies
can be accessed through an adjacent
cabinet. The supplies must not be
located behind the machine.
,
WARNING - Fire hazard
Do not cover or crush the plug of an
electric appliance. Ensure that the
cabinet opening for the dishwasher
provides ample space for the plug.
Installing the dishwasher in a tight
space may crimp the power cord or
put pressure on the plug which may
cause overheating.
The floor of the cut out where the
dishwasher will be installed should be
even in height with the surrounding
kitchen floor. Plywood can be secured
to the floor to make the two areas even.
^
Make a 2" x 4" (5 x 10 cm) cut out in
the side or bottom of the cabinet
adjoining the dishwasher. This cut out
is necessary for connections to pass
through.
^
Make certain that there are no rough
edges that could damage the power
cord or hoses. If metal cabinets are
used, place the supplied rubber
grommet around the edge of the
opening before passing the cable
through.
^
Slide the machine into the opening,
making sure the electrical cable and
hoses can reach their connection
points without kinking.
The left side of the optic indicator
reflector and the optic indicator must
align.
The drain hose connection at the rear of
the dishwasher can be turned to allow
the hose to be angled to the right or
left.
^
Exercise care when sliding the
dishwasher in or out, to prevent
damage to the power cord or hoses.
