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).
Ensure that the drain hose, inlet hose
and the electric cable are laid to reach
the connection point without any kinks.
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, G 975 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 facing. The plinth area of the
dishwasher needs to be covered
either with a plinth facing to match
the kitchen furniture or with one
which can be ordered as a special
accessory. The separate plinth
facing 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.
To ensure stability, "i" and "U" mo
,
del 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).
-
–
A plinth facing to cover the plinth
area is supplied with the decor set.
The plinth facing 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.

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

Installing integrated "i" Dishwashers
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.
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.
Dimensions: 60 x 110 mm.

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 (these are
included in the accessory pack
together with fitting instructions and
screws).

The angle connector for the water
drainage hose at the rear of the
dishwasher can be turned.
Turn the angle connector in the
^
direction of the on-site connection for
the drainage hose.
^ 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.

5.Fitting the (matching) door
front
Fixing brackets are already fitted on
stainless steel door fronts. These fronts
cannot be shortened.
(Go to "Fitting and securing the door
front".)
The door of a kitchen base unit (without
drawer front or fittings) is normally used
for the door front.
If a kitchen door front is not available, a
panel with the following dimensions
may be used:
Width:
G 601 - G 632
G 801 - G 832
G 636 - G 698, G 975
G 836 - G 898
Thickness:
the same thickness as the neighbouring
door fronts but a minimum of 16 mm.
Height:

Fitting the fixing bracket
A fixing bracket must be fitted to the
rear of the door front panel. This is then
used for attaching the door front panel
to the door outer panel on the machine.
Templates are provided to position the
fixing bracket and the door front
accurately.
^ On each side of the fixing bracket
position a template with the rule
markings facing outwards.

in the machine door outer panel.
^ Push the overhanging ends of the
templates under the facia panel.
Take off the fixing bracket.
^
Lay the door front down with the rear
^
side facing upwards.
^ Lay the bracket on the rear side of
the door front and adjust so that:
– the marks on the template for the
upper edge of the adjacent base unit
doors match the top edge of the
door front.
^
Adjust the fixing bracket a:
The long holes in the machine outer
door must be aligned with the
matching markings on the template.
^
Mark the height of the top edge of
adjacent kitchen base unit doors on
the template b.
– the fixing bracket must be the same
distance from the left and right hand
side edges of the door front.
^
