1. Install the steam eflector
A stainless steel steam deflector is
supplied to protect the countertop from
steam and condesation when the
dishwasher is opened. If the countertop
is made of Corian®, granite, marble or
other solid, waterproof material, the
steam deflector is not required.
The steam deflector has an indicator
reflector to show when the dishwasher
is running.
The left side of the reflector and the
optic indicator in the the control
panel must line up for the indicator
to work.
If the counter is made of different
materials, the steam deflector
should be positioned so that it
covers the edge where the materials
are joined. Countertops with wood or
laminate edging should be tacked
through the rear holes of the steam
deflector.
^Remove the protective film from the
deflector.
^Squeeze the supplied silicone
sealant along the groove of the
deflector.
Installation
10

^Center the steam deflector in the
opening for the dishwasher and align
with the lower front edge of the
countertop.
Note:
For rounded countertops it may be
necessary to pull the steam deflector
closer to the counter’s edge so the
optic reflector will be visible.
^Secure the deflector in place using
the supplied nails.
^Wipe of any excess silicone with a
solution of liquid dish soap and warm
water.
^Press the optic indicator reflector in
place.
Installation
11

Stone or marble countertops:
The steam deflector is not required for
countertops made of solid, waterproof
material. But, it is needed for
determining the correct position of the
optic indicator reflector.
^Remove the black plastic reflector
holder and the tape holding it in
place from the steam deflector.
^With the reflector cut out left and
frontwards, align the steam deflector
with the front edge of the counter.
Trace the outline of the reflector on
the underside of the counter with a
pencil.
Note:
For rounded countertops it may be
necessary to make the tracing closer to
the counter’s edge so the optic
reflection will be visible.
^Adhere the double-sided sticker to
the back of the optic indicator
reflector.
^Remove the backing from the other
side of the sticker.
^Line up the black reflector holder with
the tracing and press into place.
^Press the optic indicator reflector into
the reflector holder.
The "Extended drying" feature can
be activated to further protect the
counter from condensation. See the
"Operating instructions / Additional
features."

2. Install the sli e skis
Two slide skis are included and should
be installed on the feet of the
dishwasher before the machine is
pushed under the countertop. This will
allow the machine to slide easier,
protect the floor, and allow adjustment
of the rear leveling legs from the front of
the unit.
^First, adjust the height of the legs so
that the top of the dishwasher is
roughly 1/8" (3 mm) below the
countertop.
Tipping the machine slightly to the rear,
if possible, will make adjusting the front
legs easier. Make sure the machine is
level when adjustments are complete.
^Place the skis, with the ratchet at the
rear, under the dishwasher legs.
Installation

3. Install the ishwasher un er
the countertop
The dishwasher must be installed so
that the water and electricity supplies
can be accessed through an adjacent
cabinet. The supplies must not be
located behind the machine.
,WARNING - Fire hazard
Do not cover or crush the plug of an
electric appliance. Ensure that the
cabinet opening for the dishwasher
provides ample space for the plug.
Installing the dishwasher in a tight
space may crimp the power cord or
put pressure on the plug which may
cause overheating.
The floor of the cut out where the
dishwasher will be installed should be
even in height with the surrounding
kitchen floor. Plywood can be secured
to the floor to make the two areas even.
^Make a 2" x 4" (5 x 10 cm) cut out in
the side or bottom of the cabinet
adjoining the dishwasher. This cut out
is necessary for connections to pass
through.
^Make certain that there are no rough
edges that could damage the power
cord or hoses. If metal cabinets are
used, place the supplied rubber
grommet around the edge of the
opening before passing the cable
through.
^Slide the machine into the opening,
making sure the electrical cable and
hoses can reach their connection
points without kinking.
The left side of the optic indicator
reflector and the optic indicator must
align.
The drain hose connection at the rear of
the dishwasher can be turned to allow
the hose to be angled to the right or
left.
^Exercise care when sliding the
dishwasher in or out, to prevent
damage to the power cord or hoses.

4. Level the legs
^The rear leveling legs can be
adjusted with a T20 Torx screwdriver
by turning the screws at the front of
the slide skis.
To raise the machine turn clockwise.
To lower the machine turn counter
clockwise.
Several turns may be needed to set the
correct height. Do not use a power
screwdriver.
^Adjust the front leveling legs by
pushing on the feet with a slotted
screwdriver.
^Tipping the machine slightly
backwards, if posssible will make
adjusting the front legs easier. Make
sure the machine is level when
adjustments are complete.
The dishwasher should be raised
until it just touches the underside of
the countertop.
Installation

5. Install the custom oor
panel
A custom door panel must be installed
on the dishwasher before it can be
safely operated. A single large panel or
a two piece panel separated at the
drawer line can be used.
Panel size is determined in the
following manner:
Panel Height = HTC - TKH
HTC = Height to the underside of
countertop
TKH = Toe Kick Height
Panel Dimensions:
Width: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 17 3/4" (45 cm)
Range of panel height:
G 800 series . . . . . . . . . 27 1/2" - 30 1/4"
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (699 - 768 mm)
Thickness:
At least 3/4" (18 mm) where the
mounting bracket is to be screwed in
position.
Maximum panel weight:
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 11 lbs (5 kg)
Installation

the bracket.
Installation
17

Install the bracket on the rear of the
custom oor panel
^Push the dishwasher into its opening
and adjust the height.
^Measure the distance Xbetween the
round hole in the machine outer door
panel (shown in inset) and the lower
edge of the adjoining cabinet door.
^Place the door panel on a flat
surface, good side face down, being
careful not to scratch the surface.
Make certain that the bottom of the
panel is towards you.
^Using a pencil, lightly draw a vertical
centerline on the panel (See the
illustration on the next page).
^Draw a horizontal line Xinches up
from the bottom edge of the panel.
For two piece panels:
Two piece panels should be made so
that any joining hardware is flush with
the back of the panel. Failure to do this
may impede proper operation of the
dishwasher.
In certain instances, you may be able
to use the mounting bracket supplied
with the machine to secure both pieces
to the dishwasher. Consult your cabinet
supplier / maker for the best method of
joining the panels.
When mounting the two pieces,
make sure that the desired finished
panel height is maintained.
Installation
18

^Place the bracket on the door panel
so the notches, a, cross the drawn
centerline, and the bottom of the
bracket lines up with the horizontal X
line.
^Mark and drill pilot holes for the
screws using a 3/32" (2.5 mm) drill bit.
^Attach the bracket to the back of the
panel, using the 14 screws provided.
The top four pair of holes, only need
to be secured once per pair.
^Double check the location of the
bracket before mounting the panel to
the dishwasher.
The door handle must be installed on
the panel before it is attached to the
machine. It should be located in the
center of the panel at a height that will
match the surrounding drawer handles.
Any screws used to attach the door
handle must be countersunk so that
the rear of the front panel remains
flat.
