Contents

This dishwasher is specially designed

for integration under a worktop run in a

fitted kitchen.

–The front of the dishwasher is

designed to take a front panel. It can

be fitted with a base unit door front to

match the rest of the kitchen.

–The dishwasher does not have a

plinth facia. The plinth area of the

dishwasher needs to be covered

either with a plinth facing to match

the kitchen furniture or with one

which can be ordered as a special

accessory. The separate plinth facia

can be height adjusted to suit the

kitchen. The plinth return is freely

adjustable.

Instructions for installing the

dishwasher are described in the

following sections.

,To ensure stability, these

dishwashers must only be installed

under a continuous worktop which

must be securely screwed to

neighbouring units.

,The dishwasher must not be

installed under a hob. The high

radiant temperatures which are

sometimes generated by a hob

could damage the dishwasher.

Opening the door

^Hold one corner of the upper fixing

bracket and pull towards you (small

arrow).

Opening the door when the fixing

bracket has been taken off:

^Insert your finger into the T-shaped

opening in the door opener and pull

the door open.

Installation

1.Fitting protective cover plate

to worktop

The plexiglass relfector panel and all

other installation items required are

included in the accessories pack

supplied with the dishwasher.

When the dishwasher is built-in, the

left hand side of the reflector panel

must be sited above the in-operation

light in the dishwasher control panel.

The procedure for fitting the reflector

panel will depend on the type of

worktop.

On wood and laminate worktops the

reflector panel is fitted together with the

protective cover plate.

The reflector panel is fitted without the

protective cover plate on granite and

marble worktops.

Wood or laminate worktops:

The underside of the worktop is

protected against steam rising from the

machine by a special cover plate.

A plastic holder is located on the left

hand side of the cover plate for the

dishwasher’s control light reflector

panel.

,If two different materials meet up

at the front edge of the worktop, then

the join must be concealed by the

cover plate.

^Remove the protective backing from

the cover plate.

^Squeeze sealant from the tube

supplied all the way along the hollow

moulding in the cover plate.

Installation

^Align the cover plate to the front

edge of the worktop in the middle of

the niche.

If the worktop has a very rounded

edge, pull the cover plate further

forward so that the reflector panel is

still visible later on.

^Use the tacks supplied to nail the

cover plate to the underside of the

worktop.

Worktops with wood or laminate

edging:

Nail the tacks through the holes

further back from the edge.

^Use soapy water to wipe off any

excess sealant.

^Press the reflector panel into the

plastic holder in the cover plate.

Installation

Granite or marble worktops:

Worktops made from hard materials

such as granite or marble do not need

the cover plate for protection. The

cover plate is only used as a guide for

marking the position for the reflector

panel plastic holder.

Keep the cover plate in case the

dishwasher is ever fitted under another

type of worktop.

^First, remove the protective foil

covering the plastic holder for the

reflector panel and then take the

holder out of the cover plate.

^Align the cover plate to the front

edge of the worktop in the middle of

the niche. Draw around the cut-out

for the plastic holder.

If the worktop has a very rounded

edge, pull the cover plate further

forward so that the reflector panel is

visible later.

^Stick the doublesided adhesive strip

supplied onto the back of the plastic

holder.

^Remove the protective foil from the

adhesive strip and stick the holder to

the underside of the worktop at the

marked position.

^Press the reflector panel into the

plastic holder.

Installation

2.Building the dishwasher

into a niche

Connection to water and drainage

should be sited beside and not behind

the dishwasher for accessibility.

Connections are usually made in the

area under the sink. Many kitchen unit

manufacturers provide a cut-out 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.

,There must be no electrical

sockets behind the dishwasher.

Danger of overheating and fire risk if

the dishwasher were to be pushed

up against a plug.

Dishwasher height

^Adjust the height manually before

installing the dishwasher.

Leave a space of approx. 5 mm

below the worktop to allow the

dishwasher to be pushed back easily

into the recess. Make sure that the

dishwasher stands level.

It is easier to adjust the screw feet if the

weight of the dishwasher is not bearing

down on them.

If possible tip the machine slightly.

Slides

You will find the slides in the upper

basket of the dishwasher.

They make installation of the

dishwasher easier and protect the floor

from possible damage when moving

the appliance into and out of the

recess. They are also used for

adjusting the height of the rear screw

feet.

^Fit the slides - with the ratchet at the

rear - under the screw feet.

Installation

Securing pieces

To ensure stability, the dishwasher must

be fixed securely to the neighbouring

units (step 5). Two securing pieces are

supplied for this purpose.

^Fit the securing pieces into the slots

on both the left and right hand sides

and turn to the side.

Angle support

The angle support for the water

drainage hose at the rear of the

dishwasher can be turned.

^Turn the angle support in the

direction of the on-site connection for

the drainage hose.

^Push the dishwasher right back into

the recess. Ensure that the drain

hose, inlet hose and the electric

cable are laid to reach the

connection point without any kinks.

Make sure that the left side of the

reflector panel is sited above the

in-operation light in the dishwasher

control panel. To check, switch on

the dishwasher, select a programme

and close the door. The light is

visible when the dishwasher has

been aligned correctly.

If it does not light up then re-align

the dishwasher in the niche.
