Electrical safety
Before installation, make sure the
voltage and frequency listed on the
data plate correspond with the house-
hold electrical supply. This data must
correspond to prevent injury and
machine damage. Consult a qualified
electrician if in doubt.
To guarantee the electrical safety
of this appliance, continuity must
exist between the appliance and an
effective grounding system.
It is imperative that this basic safety
requirement be met. If there is any
doubt, have the electrical system of the
house checked by a qualified electri-
cian. The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for damages caused by the
lack, or inadequacy of, an effective
grounding system
Before installation or service,
disconnect the power supply to the
work area by manually "tripping" the
circuit breaker, unplugging the unit, or
removing the fuse.
Do not use an extension cord to
connect the unit to electricity. Ex-
tension cords do not guarantee the re-
quired safety of the appliance, (e.g.
danger of overheating).
Chil safety
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags etc. are disposed of safely
and kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation!
If the appliance is removed from its
installation and will not be used,
the door to the wash cabinet should be
removed to prevent children from being
locked in the machine.
When discarding an old dish-
washer, unplug it from the power
outlet, remove the door to the wash
cabinet and cut off the power cord.

1.Install the steam eflector
A stainless steel steam deflector is sup-
plied to protect the countertop from
steam and condesation when the dish-
washer 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 a reflector to
indicate when the dishwasher is run-
ning.
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 cov-
ers the edge where the materials are
joined. Countertops with wood or
laminate edging should be tacked
through the rear holes of the steam
deflector.
^Squeeze a bead of silicone sealant
from the supplied tube into the ridge
formed by the curved edge, a, of the
steam deflector.
^Line up the steam deflector, b, with
the lower front edge of the countertop
and use the supplied tacks to nail in
place.
^Wipe off any excess silicone with a
rag.
^Press the optic indicator reflector in
place.
Installation
10

Stone or marble countertops:
The steam deflector is not required for
countertops made of solid, waterproof
material. But, it is needed for determin-
ing the correct position of the optic indi-
cator 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 onto
the underside of the counter with a
pencil.
Note:
For rounded countertops it may be nec-
essary 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 reflec-
tor.
^Remove the backing from the other
side of the sticker.
^Line up the reflector with the tracing
and press into place.
The "Extended drying" feature can
be activated to further protect the
counter from condensation. See the
"Operating instructions / Additional
features."
Installation

2. Install the sli e skis
Two slide skis are included and should
be installed on the feet of the dish-
washer 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
12

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.
The floor of the cut out where the dish-
washer 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 ad-
joining 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 ope-
ning 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 dish-
washer in or out, to prevent damage
to the power cord or hoses.
Installation
13

4. Level the legs
^The rear leveling legs can be ad-
justed 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 back-
wards, if posssible will make adjust-
ing the front legs easier. Make sure
the machine is level when adjust-
ments are complete.
The dishwasher should be raised
until it just touches the underside of
the countertop.
Installation
14

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 follow-
ing 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 mount-
ing bracket is to be screwed in position.
Maximum
panel weight: . . . . . . . . . 12 lbs (5.5 kg)
Installation

Installation
16

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 sur-
face, 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 illus-
tration 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
17

^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.
