Installation
Positioning
Apart from the need to position your
dishwasher close to an existing water
supply and waste outlet — long runs of
new pipework can be expensive — you
can put it almost anywhere you please;
either on its own, or incorporated into a
run of «standard» metric kitchen units.
If you choose the latter option, you will
find that the machine has a number of
useful features making it easier to blend
in with the units.
Firstly, the machine can be set hard.
against walls and adjacent units — there
is no need to leave a gap all round, and
the dishwasher features fill and drain
hoses which can be turned to the right
or left to suit the installation (see fig. 1).
Secondly, the integral worktop may be
adjusted by up to 25 mm (1 inch), either
forwards or backwards, to align it with
any adjacent units’ worktops. To do this,
simply remove the screws from the
brackets beneath the worktop’s front lip
(see fig. 2), make the desired re-

alignment, and replace the screws to fix
the worktop in place (see fig. 3).
Alternatively, if you prefer to install the
machine beneath an existing worktop,
the machine’s integral worktop can be
removed merely by removing the front
securing screws as above, and releasing
the worktop from its rear catch. This
done, the dishwasher will fit into a
recess of the dimensions given in
figure 3.
Important
Please ensure that when the appliance
is installed it is easily accessible for the
engineer in the event of a breakdown.
Building-in instructions
Fitting «decor panels» DW650M,
DW700 and DW1100M
To give the dishwasher a completely
«built-in» look, both the door and lower
panel can be covered with sheets of
plastic laminate (you must provide these
yourself) to match the doors of adjacent
units.
To fit these «decor panels», start by
loosening the bottom panel’s retaining
screws (see fig. 4) and freeing it from its
top catch.
Make sure these screws are not removed
completely. Next, remove the metal trim
screwed to both the door and lower
panel, fit the covering sheets of plastic
laminate, and clamp them in position by
replacing the metal trims. Finally, hook
the lower panel onto its top catch and
retighten the lower retaining screws.
Please note: The decor panels should be
fitted before building the appliance in.

Adjusting the height of the machine
(DW650M, DW1100M)
The machine’s total height may be
reduced 50 mm by removing the plinth.
To carry out this operation to proceed as
follows:
a) remove the front kick-plate which ‘is
fastened to the appliance by means of
two screws;
b) lean the appliance on the side and
remove the plinth by unscrewing the
four screws which fasten it to the
bottom;
c) remove from the plinth the four feet
and screw them on the holes provided on
the two cross-pieces at the bottom of the
appliance.
d) mount the smoller kick-plate.
Water supply connections
This Zanussi dishwasher may be
connected to either a hot or cold water
supply, and for convenience, it is well
worth having it permanently «plumbed
in». Just make sure that the water
pressure is within the limits given in the
technical data, and, in the case of a hot
water supply, that the temperature never
exceeds 70°C (158 °F).
Your local Water Authority will advise
you on the average mains pressure in
your area. Where the water is supplied
via a cold water storage cistern, or hot
water cylinder, you can work out the
pressure yourself in both cases by
measuring the vertical distance
(or «head») between the machine’s inlet
hose, and the outlet from the cold water
storage cistern; allowing roughly 1 psi
for every 2 feet.
As to the making of the connection
itself, the coupling nut fitted to the
machine’s supply hose is designed to
screw onto either a 3/4 inch gas thread
spout, or to a purpose made quick-
coupling tap such as the Press-Block.
To make this easier, the hose itself may
be turned to the right or left. In either
case, be sure to incorporate the strainer
supplied with the machine onto the joint
(fig. 5).

Waste connections
Care must also be taken over the
disposal of the waste water from the
machine. If your dishwasher is not to be
permanently «plumbed in», merely hook
the curved end of the drain hose firmly
over the edge of the kitchen sink, having
made sure that the sink is empty, and
that the waste outlet is not blocked.
Otherwise, fit a P-trap and stand-pipe
assembly like that in figure 6 (ensure the
pipe has an internal diameter of a least
38 mm (1% ins), and hook the drain hose
into that). In this case ensure that there
is an air gap between the hose and the
inside of the pipe to prevent the risk of
dirty water being syphoned back into the
machine, and check that the top of the
stand-pipe is between 300 and 900 mm
above floor level. In addition, make sure
that the stand-pipe/trap assembly
> 40mm min

discharges into the same soil system as
the kitchen sink.
There are just two other points to bear
in mind. Firstly, with the machine in its
permanent position, do check that the
drain hose is not kinked, or squashed in
such a way as to obstruct the flow of
water. Secondly, if the drain hose
supplied with the machine is not long
enough to reach the desired discharge
point, it can be replaced with a hose of
the same internal diameter, up to 2 m
long (see your local Service Network or
installer).
