INSTALLATION

1. Please ensure the dishwasher is installed by a
qualified technician. Refer to the tools required.
Location
When selecting a position for your dishwasher you
should make sure the installation surface is flat
and firm, and the room is well ventilated. Avoid
locating your dishwasher near a heat source, e.g.
cooker, boiler or radiator. Extreme cold ambient
temperatures may also cause the appliance not to
perform properly. This dishwasher is not designed
for use in a garage or outdoor installation.
Do not drape the dishwasher with any covering.
When installing, ensure that free space is left at the
sides.
2. Ensure there is sufficient clearance on each side
of the unit to allow slight sideways movement
for servicing when required. Good levelling is
essential for correct closure and sealing of the
door. When the unit is correctly levelled, the
door should not catch the inner liner on either
side of the cabinet. The adjustable feet may be
loosened or tightened in order to obtain the
optimum levelling of the unit.

before installation. Ensure you are not installing
the unit right in front of the mains socket. This
is to avoid potential damage to the back of the

condensation strip.
Ensure the surface is clean prior to
sticking the condensation strip to
the underside of the worktop.
Leave some space
Stick the Condensation
Strip under the worktop,
where you want to
install the dishwasher.
6. Stick the condensation strip to the underside of
the worktop.
Failure to attach the condensation
strip could result in damage to the
underside of your worktop!
