• Cut out for hoses and electrical cables on either side. (Approximately 100 mm X 75 mm)

• Select a location as close to the sink as possible for ease of connection to the water and drain pipes.

• To ensure drainage, the appliance should not be installed more than 1 meter away from the sink.

• If the appliance is installed in a corner, allow minimum clearance of at least 50 mm between the appliance and an adjacent cabinet or wall.

• Before sliding the appliance into the installation opening, all necessary height and height adjustments should be made using a spanner.

75 mm

CAUTION

• Any bare wood surrounding the appliance should be sealed with a waterproof paint or sealant to prevent it from swelling.

• Slide the dishwasher into the cabinet, opening carefully. Make sure that the drain hose behind the machine and inside the cabinet is not kinked or stretched.

• Do not push the door of the dishwasher with knees.

Removing the Top Cover

If the height of the opening is below 850 mm, follow these instructions.

Remove the 2 screws on the back.

Pull the top cover backwards after removing

the two screws and then lift it up to remove it.

Remove the locating pins on the top by

using a Phillips screw driver.

Levelling the Appliance

Levelling the appliance prevents unnecessary leakage and poor washing. Place the appliance on a solid, level floor. Do not install the appliance on an elevated surface.

If the appliance is not properly level, adjust all levelling feet as necessary.

Turn them clockwise to raise and counterclockwise to lower until the appliance no longer wobbles, both front-to-back and side-to-side and corner-to-corner.

Levelling feet

NOTE

Check the opening of door and repeat if

necessary until the door opens and closes properly.

Installing the Drain Hose

If the end of the drain hose does not fit to the drain line, use a drain extension kit (optional) that is resistant to heat and detergent.

This should be available from a plumbing shop or a hardware store.

Connection to the Waste Spigot

Check the waste spigot when initially installing. An OE error can occur when the waste spigot below the sink is not drilled out properly. To connect the drain hose, drill out at least a 15 mm diameter hole in the waste spigot before connecting and securing.

Waste spigot

CAUTION

• Make sure that plastic debris is not remaining inside of spigot after it has been drilled out.

• Do not attempt to open the waste hole with a screwdriver and hammer. this will induce debris to become stuck and cause a malfunction.

• Caution should be taken when passing hoses through Cabinetry holes as they may have sharp edges and could damage the hoses. Smooth or sand edges to avoid damaging the drain or inlet hose.

Slant to the left

• Make sure that the line is not kinked or sharply bent.
