Installation

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.

All instructions necessary for installing the dishwasher are described in the fol lowing text.

“i” models can be converted into a built-under model (“U”).

The dishwasher is converted using a

–

GDU kit (decor set). The decor set includes a toekick

–

panel. The height of the dishwasher toekick can be adjusted to match that of adjacent cabinets. The toekick recess depth is also adjust able.

Instructions for installing the decor set

are given in a separate pamphlet that is

included with the decor set.

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.

Installation

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®, granite, marble or other solid, waterproof material, the steam deflector should not be used.

2.Installing the dishwasher under the countertop

For ease of service and quick discon nection, it is best to install the machine so that the water and electricity sup plies can be accessed through an adja cent 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 ser vice. See the “Plumbing” and “Electri cal” sections for proper connection pro cedures before continuing. If electrical and water supplies are not located in adjacent cabinetry it is extremly important that the toekick is removable.

^ Squeeze a bead of sealant from the

supplied tube into the angle formed by the curved edge coverplate.

Align the plate edge of the worktop (see illustration) and use the supplied tacks to nail it in place.

On countertops with wood or lami nate edging, the tacks should be nailed through the rear holes of the coverplate.

Installation

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 ma chine to slide easier, protect the floor, and allow adjustment of the rear level ing 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.

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.

Leveling legs

Installation

Adjust the front leveling legs by

pushing on the feet with a slotted screwdriver.

^ 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.

Adjust the rear leveling legs to the re quired height with a T20 Torx screw driver.

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.

The dishwasher should be raised until it just touches the underside of the countertop.
