How to remove the appliance worktop

1. Remove the rear screws (1).

2. Pull the worktop from the behind of the appliance (2).

3. Lift the worktop and move it from the front slots (3).

4. Use the adjustable feet to adjust the level of the appliance.

5. Install the appliance under the kitchen worktop. Do not squash or bend the water hoses during the installation.

To adjust the level of the appliance

A correct level of the appliance lets the door to close and seal correctly. With an incorrect appliance level, the door does catches on the sides of the cabinet. Loosen or tighten the adjustable feet to make the appliance level.

Water drain connection

Connect the water drain hose to:

• The sink spigot and attach it under the work surface. This prevents that the waste water from the sink goes back into the appliance.

• A stand pipe with vent-hole. The internal diameter must be minimum 4 cm.

max 85 cm

min 40 cm

max 400 cm

Remove the sink plug when the appliance drains the water to prevent that the water goes back into the appliance.

The drain hose extension must not be longer than 2 m. The internal diameter must not be smaller than the diameter of the hose. If you connect the water drain hose to a trap spigot under the sink, remove the plastic membrane (A). If you do not remove the membrane, remaining food can cause a blockage in the drain hose spigot

A safety device impedes the dirty water to go back into the appliance. If, the spigot of the sink has a 'non-return valve', this can cause the appliance to drain incorrectly. Remove the non-return valve.
