How To Install A Dishwasher

Instructions

Bored of wasting time standing in front of the sink washing dishes? Rather be anywhere else than in your kitchen wearing marigolds? Don't fear there is a light at the end of the greasy, crumby food tunnel - Get a dishwasher! And to get yours up and running without any fuss, Homeserve are here to help you install it.

Step 1:
It's a good idea to get rid of all the packaging it has been delivered in, insturctions should come with this so be careful to keep hold of these. All you'll really need gear wise is an adjustable spanner.

Step 2:
Your dishwasher will have been suplied with a PVC hose to link the water inlets at the back of the appliance to special miniature valves connected to the household plumbing. The hoses are colour coded, red for hot or blue for cold.

Make sure the valve is turned off, then connect the hose by screwing it onto the valve. Make sure everything's nice and tight before you turn the valves on.

Step 3:
The outlet hose from a dishwasher must be connected to a waste system that will get rid of the dirty water. The Standpipe and Trap is the standard method. The machine hose fits loosely into the open-ended pipe, so that dirty water won't be siphoned back into the machine. Always ensure the open end is at least 2 ft above the floor.
