1. Please ensure the dishwasher is installed
by a qualified technician.
Location
When selecting a position for your freestanding
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, eg. 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.
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.
installation
All parts removed must be saved to do
the reinstallation in the future. Ensure
the dishwasher is unplugged and empty.
We recommend that 2 people handle the
dishwasher during installation.

4. Position the dishwasher next to a water tap
and a drain. Ensure the water inlet and drain
hoses are not kinked or squashed. The unit
must not stand on the mains cable.
3. Do not connect the unit to the mains socket
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 unit.
5. Adjust the adjustable feet to obtain the
optimum levelling of the unit. The adjustment
of the rear feet is via a centre screw at the front.
* All images are for indication only; please refer to your individual unit for actual item.
Making sure the dishwasher is level is very
important. If its not level the door may not
seal properly and it may leak.
