Have you become the owner of a dishwasher? Then you need to install and connect it – and it is important to properly adjust the dishwasher door. The quality and safety of the work will depend on this. We will tell you how to deal with this on your own, without calling the wizard.
How to install PMM and adjust the door
First you need to decide on the installation location. Is there enough space to accommodate freestanding appliances, or is it better to choose a built-in option? In the latter case, a template is attached to the instructions, according to the markup in which you can hang the door facade.
Regardless of the brand – Bosch, Kandy, Electrolux – the installation and connection of the machine is carried out in the same way:
- Moisture resistant socket is organized. It should be at a distance of 10 cm from the floor. Grounding required.
- It is better to place the equipment not far from communications (sinks). The smaller 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 is carried out according to all the rules specified in the instructions. First, it is better to organize a drain. Depending on the location of communications in the apartment, drain hoses can be connected to the siphon or directly to the sewer.
- Then the water supply hoses are connected. To do this, tees are installed on the mixer.
When the connection is over, you need to correctly adjust the position of the housing and the dishwasher door. The legs must be twisted so that the PMM is stably located on the surface.
In built-in models with a hinged facade, there is such a problem: the weight of the facade can pull the door unevenly, so that it does not fit snugly. In order to adjust the fasteners and adjust the pressure, do this:
- As a rule, built-in models come without a top panel. There you can see metal cables.
- If the equipment was in operation, the cables may be worn out or stretched, then they need to be tightened.
- When replacing, you need to unscrew the side panels of the PMM.
- Disconnect the end of the cable that is attached 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 installation is complete, you can test run the dishwasher.
