The life and quality of the Bosch dishwasher are directly dependent on the installation. If the equipment is properly connected to communications, if you followed the manufacturer's recommendations, then you can not worry about premature failure. How to install a Bosch dishwasher? Find out below.
Users can be deprived of the warranty in the event of a machine breakdown due to improper connection.
Features of location and installation of PMM "Bosch"
First of all, you need to choose a place for future technology. If you have provided for the purchase of a dishwasher at the repair stage, there will be no problems with the installation even in the IKEA kitchen. On the plan, the conclusion of communications is marked in advance, the dimensions of the niche for embedding are calculated.
Models PMM "Bosch" are in demand, they have a large assortment and a wide price range. You can choose a compact model, dimensions 45x55x50 cm. You can place it in a kitchen cabinet or on a countertop. Connection is made in the standard way.
The embedded option is better to provide in advance. The height of the equipment is from 81.5 cm, the width of the case is 45-60 cm. Note that the niche should be 2-5 cm wider than the dimensions of the dishwasher.
Take a look at the instructions. Attached is a full-size door template. Using it, you can easily identify and make holes for future screws and mounts.
To ensure that the door ideally covers the facade of the PMM, on the inside put a template and drill holes.
Have you decided to buy a dishwasher recently? It is important to choose the right place for installation. It will be convenient to place the equipment near the sink. Then you do not have to look for extension cords to connect to the water supply.
Important! The shorter the inlet hose, the better it will protect the equipment in the event of a water hammer.
Installing a built-in dishwasher under the countertop is not difficult if the cabinet is properly dismantled. To do this, remove the shelves, remove the lower and rear parts, or make holes in the side walls for the hose leads.
Why it is convenient to place the PMM near the sink:
- No need to spend money on buying individual hoses.
- There is no need to lengthen the hoses, which means that the waste water will leave faster.
- Dirty dishes can be quickly transferred from the sink to the hopper.
Let's move on to the connection. A detailed diagram should be indicated in the instructions.
Do-it-yourself installation
The first thing to take care of is the power supply. If you already have a socket prepared according to all the rules, then just plug in the PMM to it. If not, we give a sequence of work.
Attention! Only a specialist can work with an electrician. There are many videos on the Internet where home craftsmen lay the cable and ground the outlet. Do not repeat these steps yourself. Is it dangerous.
What work should the master do:
- prepare a hole in the wall for laying the wire;
- lay a copper three-wire wire;
- connect difavtomat;
- make grounding;
- put a moisture-proof outlet of the European type;
- connect the stabilizer.
Installing a safety device is not just a whim. The dishwasher is a powerful technique that works with electricity and water, which is doubly dangerous. Want to protect your health and device? Then adhere to the recommendations of specialists.
Tools and accessories
For self-installation you will need:
- Slotted and Phillips screwdrivers.
- Fum tape for waterproofing compounds.
- Wrench.
- Pliers.
- Siphon with two branches. When installing a compact model under the sink, you may need a siphon, going 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
We recommend connecting the machine via a siphon, and 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. In addition, you need to fix the connection with a hose clamp, otherwise a strong drain head can disrupt the hose and cause a flood.
Plumbing work
Many Bosch models only connect to cold water. For hot water, a special hose with additional protection should go in the kit. Sequencing:
- Shut off the water supply.
- Disconnect the mixer hose from the pipe.
- Place a brass tee with a tap on the pipe.
- Seal the connections with a "bag".
- If you decide to install a flow filter, now is the time to connect it.
- Connect a mixer to one outlet of the tee, to the other with a filter - the intake hose of the dishwasher.
To keep the waterproofing well, wind it up at least 10-15 times along the thread.
It remains to install the car in the closet, if you have not already done so. Keep in mind that the floor under the appliance must be perfectly level. Think about this in advance by setting the lining if there is a problem with the floor. Fasten the built-in equipment in a niche, all fasteners should be supplied.
Install a dishwasher with your own hands is not difficult. The main thing is to adhere to the instructions and safety rules. Watch the video on the topic:
