To compensate for unevenness in the floor and to match the height of the appliance to that of surrounding units extend the threaded feet by unscrewing : – use a screwdriver. For built-in, integrated and fully integrated dishwashers, the rear feet should be adjusted from the front of the appliance using a screwdriver.
Built-In Dishwasher (see enclosed installation instructions) Free-Standing Appliances 1 can be set up as stand-alone without additional installation. If the dishwasher is set up next to a cooker, a heat-insulating, non-flammable plate must be mounted between the dishwasher and the cooker, flush to the top edge of the work surface (depth 57.5 cm). The plate should have aluminium foil on the side facing the cooker.
Connecting the Dishwasher Water Connection The dishwasher is fitted with safety devices that prevent the wash water returning into the drinking water system and comply with the applicable plumbing regulations. • The dishwasher can be connected to cold and hot water supplies up to max. 60 °C. • The dishwasher must not be connected to open hot water appliances or instantaneous water heaters.
Water drain Drain hose The drain hose must not be kinked, crushed or entangled. Connecting the drain hose: – Maximum permitted height: 1 metre. – Minimum required height 30 cm above the lower edge of the machine. 1 • Extension hoses • • Extension hoses are available from your dealer or customer service. The internal diameter of the extension hoses must be 19 mm to ensure that the function of the appliance is not impeded.
Electrical connection 1 In compliance with electric company technical requirements for mains connections, hard-wired connections to the mains may only be made by approved electri-cians. When connecting the appliance, observe the German VDE regulations and, if applicable, any additional conditions required by your local electricity supplier. Following installation, live parts and live insulated wiring must not be accessible using a finger test in accordance with EN 60335/DIN VDE 0700.
