Integrated ("i") dishwashers
"i" models are designed for installation
under a continuous countertop.
–The control panel with accessories is
enclosed in a separate package for
on site installation.
–The front is designed for a custom
made panel to match the existing
kitchen cabinets.
–The dishwasher does not have a
toekick. The toekick area of the
dishwasher needs to be covered
either with the toekick board of the
kitchen cabinets or with a separate
one. The height of the dishwasher
toekick can be adjusted to match
that of adjacent cabinets. The
toekick recess depth is also
adjustable.
All instructions necessary for installing
the dishwasher are described in the
following text.
,To ensure stability, these
dishwashers should only be installed
under a continuous countertop and
securely fastened to the cabinet
base units.
,The dishwasher should not be
installed underneath a cooktop. The
radiant heat generated by the cook
top may damage the dishwasher.

1. Installing the steam
deflector (if applicable)
A stainless steel coverplate is supplied
to protect the underside of the
countertop against steam rising from
the dishwasher when the door is
opened. If the countertop is made of
Corian(r), granite, marble or other solid,
waterproof material, the steam deflector
should not be used.
,If two different materials meet up
at the front edge of the countertop,
then the join must be concealed by
the cover plate.
^Remove the protective backing from
the cover plate.
^Squeeze sealant from the supplied
tube all the way along the hollow
molding in the cover plate.
^Align the cover plate to the front
edge of the countertop in the middle
of the niche.
^Nail the cover plate to the underside
of the countertop with the nails
provided.
Countertops with wood or laminate
edging:
^Hammer the nails through the back
row of holes.
^Use soapy water to wipe off any
excess sealant.

2. Installing the dishwasher
under the countertop
For ease of service and quick
disconnection, it is best to install the
machine so that the water and
electricity supplies can be accessed
through an adjacent cabinet, rather
than situating them behind the
machine.
If the electrical and water supplies are
located behind the machine the
dishwasher will have to be removed
from the cabinet for service. See the
"Plumbing" and "Electrical" sections for
proper connection procedures before
continuing. If electrical and water
supplies are not located in adjacent
cabinetry it is extremly important that
the toekick is removable.
,There must be no electrical
outlet behind the dishwasher. Risk of
overheating and fire if the
dishwasher were to be pushed up
against a plug.
Installing the slides
Two slides are included and should be
installed on the feet of the dishwasher
before the machine is pushed under
the countertop. This will allow the
machine to slide easier, protect the
floor, and allow adjustment of the rear
leveling legs from the front of the
machine.
^Adjust the height of the legs so that
the top of the dishwasher is roughly
1/4" (5 mm) below the countertop.
Tipping the machine slightly to the rear,
if possible, will make adjusting the front
legs easier. Make sure the machine is
level when adjustments are complete.
^Place the slides, with the ratchet at
the rear, under the dishwasher legs.

Mounting brackets
To ensure stability this dishwasher
should be securely attached to the
countertop (step 6). Two mounting
brackets are included for this purpose.
^Insert the tab of each bracket into the
guide holes on the top.
Stone or marble countertops:
For these countertops the dishwasher
must be secured to the adjacent
cabinets. Special brackets must be
used, see "Accessories".
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.
^Push the machine into the opening,
making sure the electrical cable and
hoses can reach their connection
points without kinks.
Installation

Leveling legs
^Adjust the rear leveling legs to the
required height with a T20 Torx
screwdriver.
To raise the machine - turn clockwise.
To lower the machine -turn counter
clockwise.
Several turns may be needed to set the
correct height. A low speed electric or
cordless screwdriver can also be used.
^Adjust the front leveling legs by
pushing on the feet with a slotted
screwdriver.
The dishwasher should be raised
until it just touches the underside of
the countertop.
Installation

3. Aligning the control panel
with the drawer fronts
^The control panel can be aligned with
the drawer fronts of the kitchen
cabinets by adjusting the spacer
bars.
^Using an 1/3" (8 mm) socket, turn the
nut clockwise or counterclockwise
until the spacers reach the required
height.
If necessary, individual (or all) spacer
bars can be removed.
^To remove the spacer bars from the
control panel, place the panel on a
table, printed side up, and gently
push down on the spacer bars at a
point near the bottom of the control
panel. This will release the mounting
bolts from their slots.
Adjustment range
from 4 1/2" control panel with-
(112 mm): out spacer bars,
to 5 3/4" control panel with
(145 mm): four spacer bars,
to 6" using a fifth spacer bar
(154 mm): (optional accessory).
After adjusting the control panel
height, cut off the plastic screw
excess.
