Ariston dishwasher installation. How are Ariston dishwashers installed and connected? What to do if the machine stops working

Connection and installation of a dishwasher from manufacturers such as Bosch (Bosch), Siemens (Siemens), Electrolux (Electrolux), Ariston (Ariston), Ikea, Indesit, Veko, Zanussi, etc. can be done independently, even if you are not a master plumber. Of course, this work requires certain skills, so if you are not confident in its successful completion, it is better to turn to specialists.

Installation steps

Installation and connection process engineering communications can be divided into several stages:

  1. Choosing an installation location where built-in and fully built-in appliances will be installed, in fact, this issue should be thought through before purchasing a dishwasher for the kitchen.

As a rule, everything is built-in kitchen equipment(eg Hotpoint Ariston LST) is available standard sizes, so there shouldn’t be any issues with installation in the headset.

As an example, here is a table of dimensions for Bosh models:

As you can see from the table, the SMS dishwasher model cannot be installed in the space planned for the SKS, which is 45 cm high.

It should be noted that some Siemens models, for some reason, may differ in size from the standard, therefore, before making a purchase, we recommend that you first measure the device so that you do not have to redo the headset later.

Please note that installation rules prohibit placing dishwashers near electric stoves, as well as under the stove or above the oven.

After installing the machine in place, you need to check that its doors close properly.

  1. At the second stage, it is necessary to organize drainage into the sewer.
  2. Connection to water supply.
  3. Power supply.
  4. Level adjustment and installation check. We would like to point out that almost all the lineup Electrolux (for example, ESL 94201 LO), Bosh (SGS, SPV, SRV) and Hansa are very critical about tilt angles. For normal operation of such devices, the deviation from the vertical (in any direction) should not be more than 2°, so in such cases you cannot do without a level.

If with the first and the last stage There are no difficulties, but in the rest there are certain nuances that require detailed consideration. As a rule, the installation instructions (attached to each dishwasher) contain all the necessary information. We recommend that you read it, after which you can begin preparing your tools.

Necessary tools, materials and consumables

To install a dishwashing machine yourself, you don’t need a specialized tool, all you need is:

  • an adjustable wrench, if you don't have one, in as a last resort you can use pliers;
  • Screwdriver Set;
  • insulating tape, it will be wrapped around metal threaded parts before tightening them with pliers. Accordingly, if you have an adjustable wrench, electrical tape will not be needed.

Materials you will need:

a siphon equipped with a fitting, for example, such as shown in the figure. If you also plan to connect a washing machine, then select a siphon model with two fittings;

To connect the water, you will need to cut into the pipe; for this purpose you will need a tee. If you don’t want problems, we don’t recommend purchasing silumin reinforcement; it can fall apart for no apparent reason. It is best to opt for brass, metal-plastic or bronze products;


tap ball type, the requirements for the materials from which it is made are the same as for the tee;


In addition, you will need to buy special tape for waterproofing (FUM). You should not use insulating tape instead: firstly, it is thick and it will be problematic to tighten the thread, and secondly, the insulating tape will soon dry out, resulting in a leak.

Water drainage

Once everything is prepared, you can begin connecting the machine to the sewer system. To do this, you need to install a siphon equipped with a fitting and connect it to the latter drain hose. This, at first glance, simple procedure for organizing a drain requires compliance with two important conditions.

The first condition is that you need to make an upper bend, as shown in the image below, this will prevent water from entering the sink bowl into the PMM.


The second condition is that the elbow of the water seal on the drain should be as deep as possible with a short bend. This is done so that the air from sewer system did not enter the device. If you do not install a water seal, the dishes may have an unpleasant characteristic odor after washing. The correct water seal is shown below.


We do not recommend implementing the method of organizing a drain from a stationary PMM directly into a sink, since the load on the pump increases significantly. We will not even consider options for connecting directly to the sewer, since this is absolutely wrong.

Connecting the water supply

The first thing we want to immediately emphasize is that, regardless of the type of PMM, it is highly not recommended to connect it to the hot water of a domestic water supply. This is due to the fact that to "purity" hot water Fewer requirements are applied than for cold ones, which will negatively affect the operation of the PMM.

In most cases, the cause of failure is check valve dishwashing machines are directly related to poor water quality. The result will appear instantly - cleanly washed dishes will have a rather unpleasant odor. To eliminate such a breakdown, repairs will be required, for example, in Astana or Balashikha.

Note that many models of imported PMM (Bosh, AEG, Ajnev, Beko, Candy) are very critical to the composition of water, as well as its hardness, so it is recommended to install filters even on cold water. This will significantly extend the life of the equipment.

Now let's move directly to the connection. It is carried out according to the following algorithm of actions:

  • the whole process begins with shutting off the water entering the apartment. There is no need to turn off the entire riser in the house; as a rule, taps are installed on the supply to the apartment, and they need to be closed;
  • After the water is turned off, it is necessary to disconnect the henka (hose) from the mixer installed on the sink. We no longer need the old waterproofing from the hose, so we need to remove it;
  • screw the tee onto the pipe and connect it to the mixer. A ball-type valve is screwed into the middle outlet of the tee, and a hose from the PMM is screwed onto its outlet. When making all connections, each threaded joint must be wrapped with FUM waterproofing tape, and if required, a rubber gasket must be installed.

If you want to watch the whole process in more detail, then its video can always be found by visiting thematic sites.


If the hose included in the kit is short, you can extend it or purchase a new one of the required length. The latter is preferable.

Connection to electrical wiring

This stage is the simplest, if you have everything prepared to turn it on, then just insert the plug into the outlet. No special connection diagram is required when installing a dishwashing machine. But certain conditions must be met.

The electrical wiring must be designed for the power of the PMM; it is advisable to power the machine via a separate line, which is connected to the RCD in the electrical panel. Sockets for connecting PMM must be waterproof (IP44) with grounding. Please note that according to the operating rules for such devices, it is prohibited to use them without connecting them to protective grounding.

It is better to think about how to use a dishwasher before purchasing it. If you have a large family or often have guests, then buying a dishwasher is completely justified. The main thing is to correctly determine the optimal volume and power for you when choosing equipment.

Constant headache for many housewives - the need to wash mountains of dirty pots, plates, cups every day

Types of dishwashers

Compact

Such models are most relevant for small rooms, where every centimeter of space counts. The compact dishwasher can be installed in any place convenient for you: on the table, in the kitchen cabinet or under the sink.

Many manufacturers produce compact dishwashers. The photo shows one of the freestanding dishwashers from Indesit.

The dimensions of compact models are on average 45-55 cm (in all parameters: height, width, depth), which allows you to load 5-8 sets of dishes into them at the same time. The undoubted advantages of such dishwashers include affordable cost and low energy consumption.

Among the disadvantages: a modest selection of functions and programs, insufficient washing of heavy stains (sometimes you have to wash the dishes again, which increases the consumption of water and electricity), and the inability to place large pots, pans or baking sheets.

What is included in the “dishware set” - the measure that manufacturers indicate in the specifications for dishwashers? This means that one set is the minimum utensils required for one person for one meal. Usually this is 8-12 cutlery: a soup plate, several small flat plates (for bread, appetizers, dessert), a large plate for the second, a glass, a cup (for tea or coffee), two spoons, a fork, a knife.

Narrow

Sufficiently spacious (for 8-10 sets of dishes), narrow dishwashers fit economically into the kitchen space thanks to small sizes in width (on average - 45 cm).

One of the narrow built-in dishwashers from Hotpoint Ariston. Approximate characteristics: 10 sets of dishes, water consumption – 9 liters per cycle, connection power – 1.9 kW

Narrow models are free-standing, which allows you to use the dishwasher in an already equipped space, installing it, for example, in a corner or between cabinets and cabinets. But if you are going to order new furniture to the kitchen, then you can consider fully built-in models, having thought in advance suitable option placement.

When planning to install a dishwasher, be sure to read the manufacturer's recommendations in the instructions for any model.

Standard

The most popular and popular dishwashers are about 60 cm wide and are considered full-sized.

One of the built-in Bosch dishwashers (Bosch) for 12 place settings, with temperature conditions 45 to 70℃

Many people prefer to use a standard format dishwasher, building it into their kitchen furniture. In this case, the control panel is covered with a cabinet door or remains visible. Basically, such machines hold 10-12 sets of dishes, which are washed efficiently at one time. Number of modes and additional functions varies greatly depending on the model and brand of the manufacturer and directly affects the cost of the equipment. The difference in price is quite significant: for example, the “budget” options Hansa (Hansa), Gorenje (Gorenje) can be half the price of the “sophisticated” Siemens (Siemens), Bosch (Bosch) or Electrolux (Electrolux).

To use your dishwasher correctly, it is important to comply with all requirements regarding its installation.

It is better to entrust the installation and connection of built-in household appliances to specialists

When installing any dishwasher model, it is important to pay attention to the following points:

  • need to choose in advance appropriate place taking into account the dimensions of the device, the length of the hose and electrical wire. This will speed up the installation process and will allow you to use the dishwasher correctly in the future;
  • it is necessary to ensure the availability of the necessary communications (water supply and drainage, separate socket). The socket must be grounded;
  • it is not recommended to install dishwasher under hob or near heating radiators.

If you have already installed a dishwasher, but still do not understand its technical capabilities, then watch the instructions on how to use the dishwasher in videos posted on the Internet, or read on.

If you want your dishwasher to be like any other Appliances, worked for a long time and efficiently, start by reading the instructions, which outline the manufacturer’s recommendations for connection and operation, information about possible problems, service centers, etc.

Dishwashers are equipped with various options complete set of internal equipment: sections, shelves, trays, baskets, boxes designed for certain types of dishes

To achieve quality washing, follow simple rules:

  1. Before loading into the machine, remove any food residue from the dishes.
  2. Place the dirtiest, largest or heaviest dishes (pots, pans, baking sheets, etc.) in the lower section. Small glass (cups, glasses, glasses, etc.) - in the top.
  3. Load cutlery into the special tray provided for them, while forks and spoons are advised to be alternated, and knives should be placed with the cutting edge of the blade facing up.
  4. Place the dishes tightly and neatly in the existing racks, without piling them in several layers. Place cups and bowls upside down so that they can rotate freely, being washed with water from all sides.
  5. Load the dishwasher fully. If dirty dishes gradually accumulate in small quantities, then place them in the cooking compartment and leave them in the machine with the door closed (to avoid unpleasant odor in the kitchen). Then either add another portion of dishes, or choose a more economical washing mode designed for half load.
  6. After each operating cycle, clean the machine’s filters and wipe the outside of the machine with a damp sponge. Regularly inspect the internal parts and walls of the working chamber, promptly remove blockages and scale.
Many models provide the ability to open the door and add some forgotten dishes during the washing process. After closing the door, the machine automatically resumes the program after a few seconds.

The water in dishwashers heats up to high temperatures, so you should not wash some items in it. kitchen utensils: glued, wooden, metal (capable of rusting), etc.

Program selection

Most dishwashers have 4 main modes: fast or delicate (short cycle of 20-30 minutes at a low water temperature of about 30-40 ℃), standard (at 50-60 ℃), intensive (at 60-80 ℃), drying.

When choosing a program, be guided by the amount and degree of soiling of the dishes

The more intensive the program you choose, the more significant the consumption of water and electricity will be due to multi-stage processing: pre-soaking, washing hot water, several rinses and drying. Such measures are justified only if fully loaded machine with dirty and greasy dishes.

IN everyday mode, many people prefer to use the dishwasher, including standard (economical) programs, which are designed for 1-1.5 hours. Typically, when selecting such cycles, the dishwasher automatically determines the load level and optimal temperature water.

After finishing washing, do not open the door immediately. Let the dishes sit in the machine for another 15-20 minutes to cool.

Delicate The modes are optimal for washing items made of thin and fragile glass, such as crystal glasses or wine glasses. They are also recommended when loading dishes made of different materials into the machine together.

The cleanliness and shine of washed dishes largely depend on the type of drying provided in the dishwasher. Mid-range machines have a condensation system that dries dishes under the influence of high temperature in the working chamber. More expensive models are equipped with a turbo system with powerful fan, supplying a stream of hot air, which ensures quick drying and the absence of water stains on the dishes.

Basic principles on how to use a dishwasher: load dishes correctly, select the appropriate mode and effective detergents.

Selection of detergents

Used for dishwashers whole line specialized means that have different purposes.

Pills They are convenient to use in the dishwasher for long cycles and should be selected taking into account water hardness. In addition to cleaning products, multi-component “3 in 1” or “4 in 1” tablets contain additives with the properties of a water softener, rinse aid, etc.

In a relationship powders or gels that simply wash dishes, you need to understand that you control their consumption yourself or rely on sensors installed in the machine. Such products dissolve faster than tablets, so they are more effective in short programs.

Another required component for proper use of the dishwasher is salt, which softens water hardness and prevents the formation of limescale (scale) on dishes and internal parts working chamber. Required amount salt depends on water quality indicators. You can measure the hardness yourself or find out from the water utility workers and enter the data into the machine’s memory. Some dishwasher models are equipped automatic sensor, which determines water hardness and controls salt consumption in the required volume.

Use only special salt (in no case food grade!). It is consumed depending on the amount of water in liters spent on the machine’s operating cycle.

Before starting the dishwasher for the first time, pour a large volume of salt into the ion exchanger at once (about 1 kg), and then add it as needed, focusing on the control panel indicators

In addition to the detergents and salt required for washing dishes, some optionally add (see table):

The rinse aid is poured into the dispenser, but you can control the consumption of the product for each washing cycle using the regulator. The optimal ratio of salt and rinse aid for dishes made from different materials it is necessary to determine experimentally, achieving high-quality drying and the absence of stains.

We offer a video that talks about the use of salt, rinse aid and other special chemistry in the dishwasher.

All dishwasher detergents must be used in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.

Try to use your dishwasher correctly, then it will largely save you from daily household chores and will last a long time. According to statistics, 85% of dishwasher malfunctions occur as a result of improper loading of dishes and the use of low-quality detergents.

operation of a dishwasher types of dishwashers + how to install a dishwasher Processed

It is already difficult to surprise anyone with modern technology and new developments. In almost every home you can see many different devices and gadgets that make cleaning, cooking and human life in general easier. Automatic dishwashers have long been among the most popular, but manufacturers are adding new options to the main ones, which are not always easy to understand. Studying the owner's manual can often take quite a long time, but once you know how to use your dishwasher, you can gain a lot of knowledge. useful functions and reduce cleaning time.

Like any device in the kitchen, a dishwasher has a number of basic rules of use that are important for proper operation and high-quality cleaning of dishes:

  1. Before loading dishes into the basket of the device, it is necessary to remove all food residues, otherwise no dishwasher cleaner will help in its operation.
  2. Any containers and vessels must be immersed upside down.
  3. The instructions say not to overload the dishwasher as this may interfere with the movement of the blades.
  4. It is recommended to place the most dirty dishes in the lower baskets, and the least dirty ones - in the upper ones.
  5. Stabbing and cutting devices are installed with the handle facing up.
  6. Plates should only be placed vertically and the question of how to use the dishwasher will disappear by itself.
  7. Fragile dishes (in particular, crystal) must be cleaned in delicate washing modes.
  8. To prevent thin glass dishes from becoming dull, you can use special products that prevent the appearance of plaque.

What can't you do?

After purchasing equipment, many people wonder how to properly use a dishwasher, but even after reading the instructions, they often make mistakes. The most common mistakes in operating machines such as Bosch, Veko and others:

  • Cleaning painted porcelain;
  • Washing plastic dishes;
  • Cleaning fragile dishes in the absence of a delicate wash function in the machine;
  • Washing cutlery with wooden handles.

How to properly wash such dishes, the cleaning of which is not provided for by the installation? You can carry out the procedure in the classic way, while thoroughly rinsing off the dishwashing detergent.

Important :

Adding detergent

As is known, special Finish-type detergents are usually used in installations of this type. For example, this is stated in the instructions on how to use a Bosh dishwasher. However, the chemical must also be added correctly after loading dirty dishes into the apparatus.

The first thing you need to do is find a special compartment for placing the powder (or capsule). When using powders, you should use a special measuring cup (usually included with the machine). The location of the compartment is indicated by the manufacturer in the instruction manual, and more detailed instructions Information on how to use dishwashing detergent can be found on the product packaging. It must be added before each dishwashing.

Video: Dishwasher detergents:

Important:

It is not recommended to add detergents to the dishwasher compartment; this will significantly worsen the quality of cleaning. Dishwasher tablets are also refilled through a special compartment.

To wash dishes in an automatic machine, rinse aid is also used, which is filled into a cell specially made by manufacturers for this purpose. Most often, a dispenser and a residue indicator are installed in it.

In addition to all dish cleaning products, regenerating salt is added to the machine (to soften water hardness), taking into account that one kilogram should be enough for a long time. The compartment for it is usually located at the bottom of the main chamber. For example, in installations such as Electrolux. This drug will significantly extend the life of the equipment.

Dishwashing modes

Choice correct mode washing dishes plays a big role, since to a large extent the result of the procedure depends on it. In the most sophisticated models there may be many such modes, but the basic ones are the same everywhere.

Quick wash mode

The quick dishwashing mode is suitable if the dishes are not too dirty. For example, if it was used for drinks or cut fruits. It is not suitable for dirtier containers and devices.

Pre-soak mode

How to use the dishwasher if the dishes are covered with greasy deposits or are very dirty? First of all, before loading, you need to remove all food debris from it, and after loading, select the “soaking” mode, which is found on all Hansa-type units, and then the standard washing function. An option like “Very Dirty” is also suitable for these purposes.

To save energy, you can soak the dishes manually before loading. However, it is highly not recommended to allow hand wash chemicals to enter the work basket of the unit.

Delicate wash

Delicate wash mode is suitable for dishes festive table. It can be used to clean glass and crystal glasses and table vases, expensive porcelain and other fragile items.

Pre-wash option

There are often situations when a sufficient number of containers and cutlery for the procedure are not collected, and in this case, in order to avoid drying out the existing dishes, you can select the pre-cleaning mode.

End of the procedure

After the dishwasher has finished cleaning, do not unload it immediately. The instructions for Siemens type installations indicate that after completing the cycle it is recommended to wait a few minutes to allow the devices and containers inside to cool down. The baskets must be loaded from the bottom up to prevent the possibility of residual water from getting into the emptied sections onto the rest of the dishes, especially for Kandy machines and many others.

If it is necessary to move or repair equipment, it is important to drain the water from it. To do this, you need to disconnect the drain hose from the siphon (it is recommended to use rubber gloves) and direct it into a container for dirty water. The same procedure can be done if the hose is clogged for subsequent cleaning.

Dishwasher Care

Any modern dishwasher must be kept completely clean at all times and dirty dishes must not be kept in it for more than a day. Compliance with this simple rule can significantly increase the life of the equipment. For this purpose, it is recommended to carry out some important rules uses:

  • All filters must be cleaned after each procedure;
  • The use of conventional detergents for manual cleaning is prohibited;
  • Excessive overloading of the device is not allowed;
  • Do not open the loading door while the machine is operating;
  • Do not allow chemical solvents or any other chemicals to enter through the compartments or main door;
  • It is important to operate the unit only with the addition of regenerating salt to the appropriate compartment;
  • External surfaces must be kept clean;
  • It is not recommended to repair the dishwasher yourself;
  • Grounding the machine is mandatory;
  • In case of malfunctions, you should stop working and contact the service center.

Common Causes of Ineffective Dishes Cleaning

There are times when kitchen appliances and containers are not washed well enough. There may be several reasons. Most often this is due to the fact that the dishes were loaded with dried food residues or placed too close to each other. In this case, there is poor water flow and difficult movement of the blades, which can even lead to breakdown.

The problem may also lie in a low-quality detergent or incorrect choice of cleaning mode. Depending on the degree of fragility of the dishes inside the unit, you can switch the mode to a tougher one.

If the baskets and sections of the machine are poorly cleaned after use, this can also cause poor cleaning. In this case, you should empty the baskets and give them a thorough cleaning using regular dishwashing detergents.

Helps improve the quality of dish cleaning right choice detergents on which it is not advisable to skimp. It is important that they not only clean effectively, but also be completely washed off with water to prevent food poisoning. You should also take the choice of rinse aids and regenerating salt seriously.

What to do if the machine stops working?

Any equipment used at home is prone to some breakdowns and dishwashers are no exception. However, a sudden stop in work may not always be associated with a breakdown. Among the main reasons:

  • turning off tap water;
  • the door is not fully locked;
  • The dishes are not installed correctly;
  • accidental disconnection of the unit from the outlet or power outage;
  • clogged drain hose;
  • wrong mode selection.

Safe use

Safe use of equipment will not only help avoid possible injuries during procedures, but will also extend its service life. It is worth noting that the safety rules for each model may be different, since much depends on the design of the unit. The main recommendations are as follows:

  • It is important to always use rubber gloves when carrying out procedures;
  • Do not touch heating elements and wires with your hands;
  • Do not open the machine until it has completely cooled down;
  • lack of grounding can not only damage the unit, but also cause injury;
  • Under no circumstances should you use faulty equipment. On the one hand, this is fraught with poisoning detergents, on the other hand, dangers, including short circuits;
  • You should not allow any other items other than kitchen utensils and containers into the washing procedures;
  • Do not open the door or turn off the power from the outlet until the machine stops working completely.

Conclusion

A dishwasher is an expensive piece of equipment home use, requiring careful treatment. In order for it to work correctly and last as long as possible, it is necessary to follow not only the operating instructions, but also follow the recommendations for caring for the equipment. In addition, it is important correct selection chemicals for carrying out procedures and observing safety precautions.

If you bought a built-in dishwasher, then you now face several difficult tasks. You've probably already met some of them before. Indeed, in many ways these household devices are similar - the same connection to the drain, connection to the electrical network. However, a new task appears before you - fastening, installing the facade to the dishwasher. Many people think that this is an activity for furniture assemblers; however, installing a façade with your own hands does not cause a lot of work. In this article we will tell you what can be useful for carrying out such work.

Facade purposes

The facade of the dishwasher is a decorative panel element made of furniture materials. The main purpose of the facade is to hide the dishwasher in kitchen furniture, making it part kitchen interior.


Dishwashers that are fully built-in are usually 450mm or 650mm deep. The hanging facade of such devices has the following advantages:
  • no need to select suitable color machine, it fits perfectly into the interior, since it is a common part of the kitchen;
  • the control panel buttons are almost invisible, children will not press them randomly;
  • has soundproofing properties, the sound of the dishwasher is not so audible.

Dishwasher panels are made from a finely dispersed fraction; this is a medium-density wood fiber board. The thickness of the board is usually standard 16 mm (furniture thickness) and is covered with a film that completely replicates the texture, texture and color of the furniture.

In some dishwasher models, the open door can only be locked after the appliance plate is installed.

Dishwasher front size

The dimensions of the side panels of dishwashers naturally depend on the size of the dishwashers. These are mainly 450 mm machines. or 600 mm. The height of many dishwashers is 820 mm. However, there are compact models with a height of 600 mm. and even 500 mm. They are much cheaper, but they also have much less capacity.

If we are talking about fitting the device into the interior, then designers advise not to rush in choosing kitchen accessories.

Oleg Volkov, interior designer, Moscow:

“Personally, I never believed that washing machines and dishwashers microwaves and other household appliances may look banal in their natural technological form. If the equipment is chosen with taste, the furniture is high-quality and pleasant, then the interior will be what you need, even if you can see the “naked” facades of washing machines, dishwashers, etc. However, often people want a seamless design so that everything looks like one. Our client recently wanted a long, undulating marble countertop that curved across almost half the kitchen, turning into a breakfast bar. It’s great, what can I say, and the project turned out just right. But I was surprised by his question: Which dishwasher should I choose? He wanted an Ariston, Hansa, Siemens or Bosch dishwasher, but thought about the size at the last moment. After all, he first assembled the kitchen, left a niche for the car and, naturally, none of it fit the size. I had to trim the marble. I advise you to always select the equipment first, and only then choose the kitchen. Otherwise, you will be tortured to adjust one thing to another. All household appliances are fixed in size, and you can play with the furniture fittings. Do everything in the right order."

Indeed, you need to understand that the device may have a width of not 60, but 59.1 cm. This will lead to backlash and gaps. Remember that it is impossible to cut a facade that is made incorrectly, because its ends are laminated and covered with film.

The height of the side of the car is no exception; it must also be carefully measured and calculated. It has a height slightly greater than the door, so in order for it to be flush with the kitchen panel, it is necessary to adjust not the facade, as many do, but the legs of the machine itself. It turns out that the height of the device depends on the width of the machine’s button panel, which is located on the door. Attaching such a front to a dishwasher is a little simpler than in machines that require full integration.

Self-installation of facades

A front can be installed on a dishwasher only when the device is already connected to the water supply line and drainage system. into the niche provided for it. For high-quality fastening of the facade, you will need:

  • a long ruler or tape measure (for accuracy, a ruler is more suitable);
  • flat and Phillips screwdrivers;
  • fasteners;
  • handle for car door;
  • facade panel.

When setting yourself the task of attaching the facade, it is necessary to mount the device to the side cabinets and from above, to the kitchen panel. Then, on the front part of the facade you need to attach a handle for the door. Use a drill to create a hole for the screw. Drill with a thin screw from the main side of the facade.

Then you will need to calculate the distance at which the fasteners are located façade panel. This is simply necessary so that the front of the machine and the fronts of the lockers are on the same level. Using a ruler, evaluate the clearance between the kitchen panel and the cabinet fronts. After this, measure the distance between the top fastening and the countertop, subtract one parameter from the other and the resulting indicator will be the distance between the fastening point and the edge of the dishwasher facade.

When all the measurements have been taken, you will need to remove the template stencil from the kit and attach it to the inside of the façade panel. This can be done using tape; it is better not to use double-sided tape; at first glance it will seem convenient, but it will leave traces of the adhesive base.

The template will help you mark the correct points for future fastener holes. Drill carefully, it is better to drill less than to take risks and get through hole. Three quarters of the thickness of the facade panel is quite enough.

The process of fastening the facade is completed by fixing the panel with screws. If it turns out that the panel rests on the base, you will have to make a small gap in the base itself. The width of the gap will be the thickness of the panel (add 2 mm on top, this will not affect anything). If the facades are not level, then increasing the clearance of the base is the most correct and the best option problem solving. Especially if you are unable to make an adjustment by adjusting the legs of the machine (naturally, because you fixed it to the side cabinets and tabletop).
