What work should the master do:

  • prepare a hole in the wall for laying the wire;
  • lay a copper three-core wire;
  • connect difavtomat;
  • make grounding;
  • put a moisture-proof European-type socket;

Tools and accessories

  • Slotted and Phillips screwdrivers.
  • Fum-tape for waterproofing joints.
  • Wrench.
  • Passatizhi.
  • Siphon with two outlets. When installing a compact model under the sink, you may need a siphon that goes first to the side and then down.
  • Bronze or brass tee with stopcock.
  • Flow filter (if you want purified water to enter the dishwasher).

Drain connection

Recommended connect the machine through a siphonand not directly to the sewer. So you can additionally connect a washing machine. Connect the drain hose to the siphon outlet. Wrap the connection with fum tape. Additionally, you need to secure the connection with a clamp, otherwise a strong drain pressure can rip off the hose and cause a flood.

Plumbing work

  1. Shut off the water supply.
  2. Disconnect the mixer hose from the pipe.
  3. Place a brass tee with a tap on the pipe.
  4. Seal the connections with a “fumka”.

  6. Connect a mixer to one outlet of the tee, and a dishwasher intake hose to the other with a filter.

To keep the waterproofing well, wind it around the thread at least 10-15 times.

It remains to install the machine in the cabinet, if you have not already done so. Keep in mind that the floor under the appliances must be perfectly flat. Consider this issue in advance by installing a lining if there are problems with the floor. Additionally, fix the built-in appliances in a niche, all fasteners must be supplied in the kit.
