Installing a freestanding dishwasher

Freestanding dishwashers

Freestanding dishwashers do not require any special installation fixings in the kitchen, (except for plumbing and electrical connection points. See relevant sections at the end of this booklet).

^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.

Depending on model the adjustment range is:

–	G 601 - G 632	2 cm
	(85-87 cm total height)
–	G 646 - G 698	4 cm
	(85-89 cm total height)

Installing integrated "i" Dishwashers

Integrated ("i") dishwashers

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

–The control panel with its accessories is included with the "i" dishwasher in a separate package for on-site fixing.

–The front of the dishwasher is designed to take a front panel. It can be fitted with a base unit door front to match the rest of the kitchen.

–The dishwasher does not have a plinth facia. The plinth area of the dishwasher needs to be covered either with a plinth facing to match the kitchen furniture or with another facia. The separate plinth facia can be height adjusted to suit the kitchen. The plinth return is freely adjustable.

Instructions for installing the dishwasher are described in the following sections.

An "i" model dishwasher can be converted 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 adjusted 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.

,On dishwashers with a drying fan, moist air is expelled through the vent outlet in the front of the machine at the end of a programme. It continues to be expelled for a certain length of time or until the door is opened.

To prevent damaging surrounding fittings (e. g. worktops with wood edging) the fan running time can be increased by 14 minutes (see "Additional functions" in the Operating Instruction manual for the machine).

Installing integrated "i" Dishwashers

1.Fitting protective cover plate to worktop

The underside of the worktop is protected against steam rising from the machine by a special cover plate.

,If two different materials meet up at the front edge of the worktop, then the join must be concealed by the cover plate.

^Remove the protective backing from the cover plate.

^Squeeze sealant from the tube supplied all the way along the hollow moulding in the cover plate.

^Align the cover plate to the front edge of the worktop in the middle of the niche.

^Use the tacks supplied to nail the cover plate to the underside of the worktop.

Worktops with wood or laminate edging:

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

^Use soapy water to wipe off any excess sealant.

(G 601 - G 624, G 638 - G 686, G 801 - G 824, G 838 - G 884)

^Attach cap a to push button switch.

^Push the ventillation grille b (depending on model) into position so that the slats on the grille are facing downwards.

^Place the facia panel c in position and use the six screws d to screw in place through from the inside of the door.

^Attach selector e.

3.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 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.

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 basket of the dishwasher.

They 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.

^Fit the slides - with the ratchet at the rear - under the screw feet.
