As an integrated dishwasher, this unit is designed to be built into your existing kitchen cabinetry, concealed behind a furniture door. For optimal performance and safety, professional installation is strongly recommended. The installation process typically involves:
- Placement: Ensuring the unit is level and securely fitted within the cabinet opening.

Always refer to the detailed installation manual provided with your appliance for precise, step-by-step instructions.
Compatibility
This dishwasher is compatible with standard kitchen cabinet dimensions for integrated appliances. Ensure your cabinet opening meets the required height, width, and depth specifications before purchase. The appliance's design is universal to accommodate various custom door panels, allowing it to blend seamlessly with your kitchen aesthetic.
Care
Proper care extends the life and efficiency of your dishwasher:
- Daily/Weekly: Wipe down the exterior control panel and door with a soft, damp cloth. Remove any large food particles from dishes before loading to prevent drain blockages.
- Monthly: Utilize the Machine Care program to clean the dishwasher's interior. This cycle specifically targets grime and odors using only water. Additionally, check and clean the filters located at the bottom of the dishwasher, removing any trapped food debris.
- Periodically: Inspect the spray arms for clogged nozzles and clear them if necessary. Ensure rinse aid and dishwasher salt levels are topped up according to your water hardness and usage, as these are crucial for optimal drying and preventing limescale buildup.
