Became the owner of a dishwasher? Then you need to install and connect it - and it is important to correctly adjust the door of the dishwasher. The quality and safety of work will depend on this. We will tell you how to deal with it yourself, without calling the wizard.
How to install the PMM and adjust the door
First you need to determine the installation location. Is there enough space to accommodate freestanding equipment, or is it better to choose the built-in option? In the latter case, a template is attached to the instructions, according to the marking in which you can hang the facade of the door.
Regardless of the brand name - Bosch, "Kandy", "Electrolux" - the installation and connection of the machine is carried out the same way:
- A moisture resistant outlet is organized. It should be 10 cm from the floor. Grounding required.
- It is better to place the equipment near the communications (sink). The shorter the distance from the sink to the PMM body, the better the engine will work.
- Install on a level surface. Built-in models must be attached to the walls of a niche or cabinet.
- Connection to the water supply system is carried out according to all the rules specified in the instructions. First it’s better to organize a drain. Depending on the location of the communications in the apartment, the drain hoses can be connected to a siphon or directly to the sewer.
- Then the water hoses are connected. To do this, tees are installed on the mixer.
When the connection is finished, you need to correctly adjust the position of the cabinet and the door of the dishwasher. The legs need to be tightened so that the PMM is stable on the surface.
In built-in models with a hinged facade, there is such a problem: the weight of the facade can unevenly pull the door, so that it will not fit snugly. In order to adjust the fasteners and adjust the clamp, do this:
- As a rule, embedded models come without a top bar. There you can see metal cables.
- If the equipment was in use, the cables can be worn or stretched, then they need to be tightened.
- When replacing, unscrew the side panels of the PMM.
- Disconnect the end of the cable that attaches to the door spring and pull the element out of the mount.
- Pull the new part under the tensioner.
- Attach it to the pin and spring.
- To adjust the cable and hang the facade tightly, just tighten the tension with a bolt.
How to remove a hinged door? To do this, just unscrew the fasteners from the inside. When removing the facade, be careful, the wires of the control board can be attached to it. You can learn more about dismantling each model from the instructions.
After completing the installation, you can test run the dishwasher.
