							Mounting Accessories
The mounting accessories needed for
installing the appliance into the niche
are included in the packaging. Several
plastic bags are included which are
numbered alphabetically.
The bag needed for each step will be
marked with its respective letter.
Use the included Torx screwdriver to
tighten the screws.
Anti-tip brackets
The anti-tip brackets help keep the
appliance safely secured to the
installation niche to prevent tipping.
Two anti-tip brackets are
recommended for each appliance or
appliance combination (side-by-side).
If the installation niche is deeper than
the appliance, a solid wooden beam
can be placed behind the anti-tip
bracketsso the appliance can be
securely attached to the base or wall.
The length of the wooden beam
should be the width of the installation
space.The distance D between the anti-tip
bracketsis the width of the
appliance.
Position the anti-tip bracketson
the left and right walls of the
appliance niche.
Mark the holes through the anti-tip
bracketson the floor of the
installation niche.
Set the brackets aside.
Screws are supplied with the
appliance for various
applications/materials.
If the anti-tip brackets cannot be
attached securely with the screws
supplied, an alternative anti-tip
device can be used.
Assure that there are no electrical
wires or plumbing in the area which
the screws could penetrate-risk of
injury and damage.

screws.
Tightly secure the anti-tip brackets in
the niche.
Be certain that the screws penetrate
through the flooring and into the wall
plate a minimum of
3/4 (19 mm).
If the included anti-tip brackets cannot
be secured in the niche,the built-in
cabinet must be secured to the wall
behind it with several screws. Only in
this way can the appliance later
secured in the built-in cabinet be
prevented from tipping.In a cabinetwitha back wall
screw the back wall of the cabinet in
several places directly to the wall
behind it.
For this, use suitable plugs/screws
depending on the type of wall.
In a cabinetwithouta back wall

							Securing an alternative anti-tip
device
If the anti-tip brackets cannot be
attached securely, an alternative
anti-tip device can be used.
Ensure that there is no give between
the appliance and the anti-tip device.
If possible, always screw the
wooden beam to existing studs.

Cut a wooden beam
(cross section min. 3 x 4
[75 mm x 100 mm]) to the required
length.
–
The length is equal to the width of
the installation niche.
–
If the installation niche is deeper than
the appliance, select a beam with a
larger cross section, or attach two
beams.–The beam must cover the appliance
by at least 2 (50.8 mm).
Mark the installation height (lower
edge of the beam) on the rear wall of
the niche.
Select screws according to the
thickness of the wooden beam.
Example: 3 ½ (89 mm) screw for 2x4
beam.
Determine the number of screws
based on the cavity width, to ensure
that the beam will be attached
securely.
Locate wall studs near the rear wall
of the cavity and mark drill holes in
the beam.
Pre-drill the wooden beam.
Attach the wooden beam to the rear
wall of the niche.
Now prepare the water connection
from the appliance to the main
supply line (see Plumbing).

							Sliding the appliance into the
installation niche
If a side-by-side installation is
desired, connect the two appliances
together. See the Installation Manual
included with the Merging Kit.
Unscrew the plinth.

To protect the corners of the
installation space, attach the
supplied edge protectoron both
sides with adhesive tape.Plug the appliance into the power
outlet.The plug of the appliance should be
easily accessible after installation.
If the plug is not accessible after the
appliance has been installed,
disconnection from the power
supply should be completed via the
circuit breaker.
In the case of side-by-side
installations, a separate outlet must
be used for each appliance.
To prevent the power cord from
becoming caught:
Tie a piece of string to the middle of
the power cord and feed it forward
under the appliance. When sliding
the appliance in, pull the cable
forward.
Carefully slide the appliance into the
space until the height-adjustable
wheels interlock with the anti-tip
brackets.
If resistance is felt when attempting to
slide the appliance into the installation
niche - for example, because the floor
is uneven,

Turn the rear adjustable wheels
slightly outward (see Aligning the
appliance), then push the appliance
in.
Be careful not to damage the water
pipe or power cord attached to the
floor.

Remove the edge protector.

							Aligning the appliance
Align the appliance with the custom
front.
The installation aidson the
appliance door have been designed for
the following custom door thicknesses:
– 3/4 (19 mm)
– 1 1/2 (38 mm).
The height-adjustable feet at the front
and rear can all be adjusted from the
front:
–
Front feet:
Adjust from the top, with a rachet
5/16 (8 mm).
–
Rear feet:
Adjust with a (cordless) screwdriver
and/or a rachet 5/16 (8 mm) for fine
adjustment.

Use a level to align the installation
aidson the door.Important!
When unscrewing the
height-adjustable feet, proceed
gradually, alternating between left
and right.
Unscrew the height-adjustable feet
until the mark on the base has
reached the indicated guide
dimension 1 1/4 (32 mm). The guide
dimension of 1 1/4 (32 mm) is
related to a niche height of 84
(2134 mm).
Important!
The height-adjustable feet can only
be unscrewed as far as the mark 2
3/16 (62 mm) on the base (max.
niche height of 85 3/16 (2164 mm).

Align the custom doors with a level.
