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 in
-
stalling the dishwasher.
Leave a space of approx. 5 mm be
-
low the worktop to allow the dish
-
washer to be pushed back easily into
the recess. Make sure that the dish
-
washer 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 bas-
ket of the dishwasher.
They make installation of the dish-
washer easier and protect the floor from
possible damage when moving the ap-
pliance 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.
