Installing a freestanding dishwasher

Installing a freestanding dishwasher

Freestanding dishwashers

Freestanding dishwashers do not re­quire any special installation fixings in
the kitchen, (except for plumbing).

The dishwasher must be level and
stable when installed.
Any unevenness in the floor level
can be compensated for by adjust­ing the four screw feet.

The adjustment range is approx. 1 cm
(85 - 86 cm total height).

Decor frame and decor panel

A decor frame can be added to take a
panel for matching the dishwasher to
the kitchen fronts.

With some models this is fitted as
standard. Otherwise a decor frame can
be ordered as an extra accessory.

Dimensions for decor panels up to 1
mm thick:

Models:
G 601 - G 624
G 801 - G 824
G 640 - G 691
G 840 - G 891

control facia panel.

Installing integrated “i” Dishwashers

Installing integrated “i” Dishwashers

Integrated (“i”) dishwashers

“i” dishwashers are specially designed
for building under a continuous work­top.

– The control panel with its acces-

sories is included with the “i” dish­washer in a separate package for on­site fixing.

– The front is designed to be fitted with

a base unit “door” front to match the
kitchen furniture.

– The dishwasher does not have a

plinth facia. The plinth area can be
covered either with facia to match
your kitchen furniture if available, or
another facia. The separate plinth
facia can be fitted to match the
height of adjacent plinths. The plinth
return is freely adjustable.

All notes on installation are described
in the following section.

The “i” model dishwasheres can be
coverted into a built-under “U” dish­washer.

– A decor set GDU must be used.
– A plinth facia to cover the plinth area

is supplied with the decor set. The
plinth facia can be fitted to match
the height of adjacent plinths. The
plinth return is freely adjustable.

The decor set is supplied with a
separate installation booklet.

To ensure stability, “i” and “U”
model 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.

machine height of 87 to 92 cm is re­quired.

Range of adjustment approx. 5 cm (84 ­89 cm total height).

Extended machine feet are available at
extra cost, (special accessory) where a

Installing integrated “i” Dishwashers

1.Fit worktop protection

A stainless steel “niro” cover plate is
supplied with the machine to protect
the underside of the worktop against
steam rising from the machine.

The cover plate is supplied as stand­ard with “i” models.

Squeeze sealant from the tube sup­plied

b into the angle of the “niro”

plate.

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 cutout 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.

Align the “niro” plate c to the front
edge of the worktop - see illustration ­and then use the tacks supplied to
nail the “niro” plate to the underside
of the worktop.

Worktops with wood or laminate edging:

Nail the tacks through the holes
further back from the edge.

Installing integrated “i” Dishwashers

Slides

The slides 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.

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.

Press the slides - with the ratchet at
the rear - under the screw feet.

Securing pieces

To ensure stability, the dishwasher must
be fixed securely to the worktop (step 6).
Two securing pieces are supplied for
this purpose.

Fit the securing pieces into the slots
on both the left and right hand sides.

Granite and marble worktops:
With these worktops the dishwasher
must be securely screwed to neigh­bouring units on the right and left hand
sides. For this you will require two spe­cial fixing brackets (available as a spe­cial accessory at extra cost).

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.

8

Installing integrated “i” Dishwashers

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.

Screw feet

Use a TORX T20 screwdriver to ad­just the
quired height.

rear screw feet to the re-

Adjust the front screw feet manually
or with a flat blade screwdriver.

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.
For fine adjustments it may be

necessary to press with a screw­driver against the cogs of the feet.

Screw the feet out until the dish­washer is right up against the under­side of the worktop, to which it will
be screwed later. Ensure that the
dishwasher stands level.

Higher = turn clockwise
Lower = turn anti-clockwise

Several turns are needed to adjust 1 mm
in height.
