2. Installation and hook-up

Remove the polystyrene basket retainers.
Position the appliance in the desired place of installation. The back or sides of the dishwasher may
be placed up against walls or other furniture units.

To facilitate the installation procedure, the intake and drain hoses can be positioned in any
direction; make sure that the hoses are not kinked, crushed or pulled too tightly. A hole at least
8 cm in diameter is required to allow the power supply cable and pipes to pass.
