Installation instructions for freestanding, built-under and integrated dishwashers It is essential to read the operating and installation instructions before installing or using the machine, to avoid the risk of accident or damage to the machine. G M.-Nr. 05 565 043 These installation instructions apply to several different dishwasher models. Model numbers in this booklet refer to the model designation specified on the data plate on the machine (and not the description on the control panel). The data plate is located at the top of the door when open. The model numbers quoted refer only to the basic model number, e.g. the G 641 SCi is described as the G 641 in this booklet. It is essential to read the Warning and Safety Instructions in the Operating Instruction booklet before installing the dishwasher. 2 Contents Installing a freestanding dishwasher . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4 Installing integrated "i" Dishwashers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5 1.

See relevant sections at the end of this booklet). Ensure that the drain hose, inlet hose and the electric cable are laid to reach the connection point without any kinks. ^ The dishwasher must be level and stable when installed. ^ Any unevenness in the floor level can be compensated for by adjusting the four screw feet. Depending on model the adjustment range is: ­ G 601 - G 632 2 cm (85-87 cm total height) ­ G 646 - G 698, G 975 4 cm (85-89 cm total height) 4 Installing integrated "i" Dishwashers Integrated ("i") dishwashers "i" dishwashers are specially designed for building under a continuous worktop. ­ The control panel with its accessories is included with the "i" dishwasher in a separate package for on-site fixing. ­ The front of the dishwasher is designed to take a front panel. It can be fitted with a base unit door front to match the rest of the kitchen. ­ The dishwasher does not have a plinth facing. The plinth area of the dishwasher needs to be covered either with a plinth facing to match the kitchen furniture or with one which can be ordered as a special accessory. The separate plinth facing can be height adjusted to suit the kitchen. The plinth return is freely adjustable. Instructions for installing the dishwasher are described in the following sections. An "i" model dishwasher can be converted into a built-under "U" dishwasher. ­ A decor set GDU must be used. ­ A plinth facing to cover the plinth area is supplied with the decor set. The plinth facing can be adjusted to match the height of adjacent plinths. The plinth return is freely adjustable. The decor set is supplied with a separate installation booklet. ,To ensure stability, "i" and "U" model dishwashers must only be installed under a continuous worktop which must be securely screwed to neighbouring units. ,The dishwasher must not be installed under a hob. The high radiant temperatures which are sometimes generated by a hob could damage the dishwasher. ,On dishwashers with a drying fan, moist air is expelled through the vent outlet in the front of the machine at the end of a programme. It continues to be expelled for a certain length of time or until the door is opened. To prevent damaging surrounding fittings (e. g. worktops with wood edging) the fan running time can be increased by 14 minutes (see "Additional functions" in the Operating Instruction manual for the machine). 5 Installing integrated "i" Dishwashers Building in dimensions Dishwasher models G 601 - G 632 Dishwasher models G 801 - G 832 Dishwasher models G 636 - G 698, G 975 Dishwasher models G 836 - G 898 1) Niche height 870 mm 2) Niche height 820 mm Adjustment range approx. 5 cm (82 -87 cm total height). Extended machine feet are available at extra cost, (special accessory) where a machine height of 87 to 92 cm is required. 6 1) Niche height 890 mm 2) Niche height 840 mm Adjustment range approx. 5 cm (84 - 89 cm total height). Extended machine feet are available at extra cost, (special accessory) where a machine height of 89 to 94 cm is required. Installing integrated "i" Dishwashers 1. Fitting protective cover plate to worktop The underside of the worktop is protected against steam rising from the machine by a special cover plate. ,If two different materials meet up at the front edge of the worktop, then the join must be concealed by the cover plate. ^ Remove the protective backing from the cover plate. ^ Use the tacks supplied to nail the cover plate to the underside of the worktop. Worktops with wood or laminate edging: ^ Nail the tacks through the holes further back from the edge. ^ Use soapy water to wipe off any excess sealant. ^ Squeeze sealant from the tube supplied all the way along the hollow moulding in the cover plate. ^ Align the cover plate to the front edge of the worktop in the middle of the niche. 7 Installing integrated "i" Dishwashers 2. Fitting the facia panel The dishwasher must not be used until the control panel has been correctly fitted. Dishwashers with selector dial (G 601 - G 624, G 638 - G 686, G 801 - G 824, G 838 - G 884, G 975) ^ Attach cap a to push button switch. ^ Push the ventillation grille b (depending on model) into position so that the slats on the grille are facing downwards. ^ Place the facia panel c in position and use the six screws d to screw in place through from the inside of the door. ^ Attach selector e. 8 Installing integrated "i" Dishwashers Dishwashers with programme selector buttons (G 632, G 692 - G 696, G 832, G 892 - G 896) ^ Attach cap a to push button switch. ^ Push the ventillation grille b into position so that the slats on the grille are facing downwards. ^ Place the facia panel c in position and use the six screws d to screw in place through from the inside of the door. ^ Insert programme selector buttons e and function buttons f (the number of buttons will depend on model). Dishwashers with programme buttons (G 698, G 898) ^ Attach cap a to push button switch. ^ Push the ventillation grille b into position so that the slats on the grille are facing downwards. ^ Place the facia panel c in position and use the six screws d to screw in place through from the inside of the door. 9 Installing integrated "i" Dishwashers 3. Building the dishwasher into a niche Connection to water and drainage should be sited beside and not behind the dishwasher for accessibility. Connections are usually made in the area under the sink. Many kitchen unit manufacturers provide a cut-out in the base of the sink base unit for the hoses to be fed through. If the base unit has no opening and if there is not an opening through the plinth area for connections, one must be cut. Dishwasher height ^ Adjust the height manually before installing the dishwasher. Leave a space of approx. 5 mm below the worktop to allow the dishwasher to be pushed back easily into the recess. Make sure that the dishwasher stands level. It is easier to adjust the screw feet if the weight of the dishwasher is not bearing down on them. If possible tip the machine slightly. Slides You will find the slides in the upper basket of the dishwasher. They make installation of the dishwasher easier and protect the floor from possible damage when moving the appliance into and out of the recess. They are also used for adjusting the height of the rear screw feet. Dimensions: 60 x 110 mm. ,There must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher. Danger of overheating and fire risk if the dishwasher were to be pushed up against a plug. ^ Fit the slides - with the ratchet at the rear - under the screw feet. 10 Installing integrated "i" Dishwashers Securing pieces To ensure stability, the dishwasher must be fixed securely to the worktop (step 6). Two securing pieces are supplied for this purpose. Angle connector The angle connector for the water drainage hose at the rear of the dishwasher can be turned. ^ Turn the angle connector in the direction of the on-site connection for the drainage hose. ^ Fit the securing pieces into the slots on both the left and right hand sides. Granite and marble worktops: With these worktops the dishwasher must be securely screwed to neighbouring units on the right and left hand sides. For this you will require two special fixing brackets (these are included in the accessory pack together with fitting instructions and screws). ^ Push the dishwasher right back into the recess. Ensure that the drain hose, inlet hose and the electric cable are laid to reach the connection point without any kinks. 11 Installing integrated "i" Dishwashers Front screw feet Now adjust the feet until the seal on the top of the dishwasher is right up against the underside of the worktop, to which it will be screwed later. Ensure that the dishwasher stands level. Rear screw feet ^ Adjust the f ...
