The inside height of the cavity should be a minimum of 17-15/16” (456 mm). The inside width of the cavity should be 23-5/8” (600 mm). The inside depth of the cavity should be a minimum of 22-13/16” (580 mm). A minimum clearance of 1/2” (13 mm) from a corner cabinet is required. A minimum clearance of 1/16” (2 mm) to adjacent cabinet doors is necessary. Bracket slots should be considered during installation. Understanding these dimensions ensures a proper fit for cabinetry. Plan accordingly to meet these specifications for successful installation.
- Page 10: Installation preparation includes cavity preparation and countertop considerations. Moisture protection tape must be applied. The recommended hot water temperature is a maximum of 140°F (60°C). A supplied hose connects to a compression fitting. Marks indicate formed bracket screw locations for securing by drawer removal. If there is no side partition, timber bracing can be constructed for securing. Water pressure should be a maximum of 1 MPa (145 psi) and a minimum of 0.03 MPa (4.3 psi). Incorrect placement of the hole will result in damage to hoses. The power outlet must be located in a cabinet adjacent to the dishwasher cavity. If the hole is through wood, ensure its edges are smooth and rounded.
- Page 11: Installation preparation includes maximum distance of hoses and cord from chassis edge. The left-hand side has drain hoses measuring 70-1/2” (1800mm) and inlet hose measuring 49” (1250mm). The right-hand side has drain hoses measuring 78-1/2” (2000mm) and inlet hose measuring 64-3/4” (1650mm). Power cord specifications are also provided.
- Page 12: Installation instructions provide guidance on securing the unit without removing the dishwasher drawer. Choose the installation method that is most suitable for your cabinetry. Recommended method (A) is for frameless cabinetry only. Attach side mounting brackets securely into their slots using a flat-bladed screwdriver. Pull hoses through and push the unit into the cavity. Optional: Attach the two top mounting brackets before sliding the product into the cavity. Ensure the ends of the brackets are not pushed down into the chassis when fitting. Initially level the product before proceeding with installation. If the product cannot be pushed in far enough, rearrange hoses and cord to avoid excessive force. Ensure hoses and cord do not get kinked or twisted during installation.
- Page 13: Installation instructions provide guidance for securing cabinetry. Option A is recommended for installation. Secure to the side cabinetry or above cabinetry as needed. Open the drawer halfway for proper access. Top mounting brackets can bend upwards a maximum of 3/8” (10 mm). Replace the grey rubber plug back into the trim moulding. Ensure the trim seal is facing forward. Use a flat bladed screwdriver to pry the grey rubber plug out. Use a small Phillips screwdriver to secure the side mounting bracket. Repeat the process for all four brackets without damaging the rubber trim seal.
- Page 14: Installation instructions provide guidance on securing the dishwasher drawer. Choose which installation method is most suitable for your cabinetry. Alternate method (B) involves removing the dishwasher drawer. Lift the drawer off its runners and place it upright on a covered sturdy box. Prepare a sturdy box nearby to rest the drawer on after removal. Optional: Attach the two top mounting brackets, ensuring the ends are not pushed down into the chassis. Initially level the product by pulling the dishwasher drawer out until it stops. Do not move or rest the drawer too far to prevent strain on its rear connectors. If the product cannot be pushed in far enough, rearrange hoses and cord. Ensure hoses and cord do not get kinked or twisted while pushing the product in.
- Page 15: Installation instructions outline the steps for securing the product to cabinetry. The product has three pairs of fixing points. Ensure the sound insulation is repositioned correctly. Use 1-1/2” (38mm) fixing screws and washers for the bottom fixing holes. Use 5/8” (16mm) screws for the formed brackets on either side of the chassis. Refit the drawer onto the runners on both sides. Ensure the hoses are not twisted before refitting the drawer. Latches at the rear of each drawer runner should face forward. Pull the release tabs forward on both sides to secure the drawer. Ensure the tabs are fully pulled forward and click into place.
- Page 16: Installation instructions provide three different plumbing and drainage options. Drainage option 1 involves using a dishwasher and a 1-1/2” (38 mm) standpipe. The drain hose should be secured to the back wall at the correct height. If space is limited, the maximum height for fixing is 4-3/4” (120 mm). It is important to install the drain hose as close to the underside of the countertop as possible to prevent waste from re-entering. The drain hose must not extend into water retained in the trap; an air gap is necessary to avoid siphoning. Ensure that the drain connection complies with local plumbing regulations. Refer to the “Connect inlet hose to hot water” step for additional guidance.
- Page 17: Installation instructions provide guidance on plumbing and drainage options. There are three different plumbing and drainage options to choose from. Drainage option 2 involves using an air gap with a drain hose joiner for the dishwasher. It is recommended to use a commercially available air gap kit. When installing two single drawers, separate draining for each drawer is provided. This setup eliminates possible cross draining problems. The maximum height to the top of the air gap is 37-3/8” (950 mm). Ensure that the drain connection complies with local plumbing regulations. Secure the drain hose to the air gap. Refer to the Connect inlet hose to hot water step for additional instructions.
- Page 18: Installation instructions provide guidance on plumbing and drainage options. There are three different plumbing and drainage options to choose from. Drainage option 3 involves using a drain hose joiner onto the sink trap or waste tee. A supplied drain hose joiner is included to suit the installation. The drain hose should be screwed securely. Support the installation to the back wall at the correct height. If space is limited, push the hose through the drain hose support to the required height. Ensure the drain hose is routed straight to prevent waste water accumulation. It is important to comply with local plumbing regulations for the drain connection. Do not shorten the inlet hose during installation.
- Page 19: Installation instructions include connecting water and switching the dishwasher on. Ensure the supplied rubber washer is fitted inside the coupling. Check for a kinked drain hose or blocked waste connection if excessive water remains above the filter plate. Verify that water is connected and turned on if there is no water supply. Continuous beeping indicates a fault; refer to the Owner’s Manual for instructions. Ensure power is connected and switched on if no program indicator lights up. Check connections and hoses for leaks around water supply and drainage connections. Secure the product to the cabinetry if it is tipping. Re-level the product and check cabinetry alignment if front panels are misaligned. Ensure nothing obstructs the drawer from closing properly.
- Page 20: Installation instructions include a final checklist to be completed by the installer. Check all parts are installed and ensure power and water supplies are turned on. You should hear a beep and see a program indicator light up on the internal control panel. Ensure all panels and parts are secure and that final electrical tests comply with local regulations. Check that spray arms are correctly mounted and free to rotate. Ensure the product is level, securely fastened to cabinetry, and opens and closes freely. Verify that the inlet hose to the water supply has a rubber washer fitted and is tightened properly. Ensure any knockouts or plugs in the drain connection have been removed and the connection is made. Add three cups of water into the drawer and press the program button to start the program.
