The dishwasher has long ceased to be a luxury and a subject of envy, and has become an indispensable assistant in the kitchen for many housewives. In addition to the main purpose - washing dishes, she has a lot of advantages: saving time, water, as well as the preservation of a good mood with the owner of this wonderful technique. For home use, there are three types of dishwashers - freestanding, built-in and partially built-in. In this article we will discuss how to install a built-in dishwasher yourself, and what you need to consider when choosing and buying this type of equipment.
How to install a built-in dishwasher?
What to look for when choosing a dishwasher
The advantages of the built-in dishwasher over a free-standing one are that it significantly saves the kitchen space, and harmoniously fits into the finished design. You just have to decide what size machine you need, and correlate the dimensions of the equipment with the place of its intended location.
Choose size
Built-in dishwashers come in several sizes, and, accordingly, accommodate a different number of dishes.
Table 1. Dimensions of dishwashers
| The size | Dimensions in centimeters | Maximum capacity (in the number of dishes) |
|---|---|---|
| Mini | 50/50/55 | 5 |
| Narrow | 45/55/85 | 8 |
| Full size | 60/60/85 | 17 |
Note: differences in sizes up to a maximum of 5 cm are allowed for various manufacturers of equipment.
How to plan the installation of an installation of various sizes, drawing
Mini-dishwashers are convenient in that they can be integrated in a small kitchen even under a sink or in a pencil case, since it is similar in size to a microwave and its location at eye level is quite convenient. Narrow aggregates should be purchased only on condition that you do not have a large family. It’s advisable to choose full-sized ones if you have many relatives and guests who have a full house. But, you need to understand that places in the kitchen, respectively, such a machine will take more.
There are various types of machines, the dimensions of the body of which can vary
Energy Efficiency Classes and Labeling
Electricity consumption and energy efficiency is also an important point that you should pay attention to when buying. Manufacturers are required to indicate the energy efficiency class for each product.
As a rule, it is indicated on a sticker that is glued to the device itself or is enclosed in a package with documents for the equipment. Classes are marked with Latin letters: A +++, A ++, A +, A, B, C, D (until 2010, the marking was indicated by the letters A, B, C, D, E, F, G), where, respectively, class A +++ is the most economical model in terms of electricity and water consumption.
How energy efficiency classes are marked for dishwashers of various types
But the price for such models will be significantly higher than for the product with subsequent gradation of classes. Also on the sticker should be indicated:
- product model and brand,
- water consumption in liters per cycle,
- energy consumption per cycle (kWh),
- drying class (A - G),
- the number of sets of utensils,
- decibel noise class.
Decoding of the symbols found on the sticker with which the dishwasher is equipped
Selecting a location based on the installation method
It is advisable to think over the installation of the dishwasher (PMM) in advance. The ideal option is a comprehensive repair, in which a project is drawn up, sewer and water pipes are laid, a separate power line is installed. Under the dishwasher, a space is allocated that takes into account its dimensions, connectors for connection are removed, all safety requirements are taken into account.
When choosing a place for household appliances pay attention to its size, type and installation method. The size and capacity of dishwashers are divided into:
- full-size: width - 60 cm, for 12-14 place settings,
- narrow: width - 45 cm, for 8-10 sets,
- compact (desktop): for 5-6 sets.
PMMs are freestanding and embedded. The first are mobile units in a full body. The second - stationary, they are mounted in a closet or niche. 
Heavy built-in appliances are installed on the floor, fixed to the walls of the cabinet or to the countertop. The compact is placed in a cabinet that can withstand its mass. Furniture should be appropriate for the size of the appliance. For installation, use the protective devices included in the kit - a metal bar for mounting, a vapor barrier film.
The dishwasher is installed on a flat surface to avoid leaks. For verification, use the building level. If you want to align the case, tighten the legs. So that there is no gap between the machine and the countertop, the countertop is raised as much as possible.
When choosing a location for the device, the location of the communications is taken into account. It is advisable to install dishwashing equipment as close to the pipes as possible, where water will be supplied and removed.
Tip. To make the cleaning process more convenient and faster, it is recommended to install cabinets for dishes and kitchen utensils next to the dishwasher.
The equipment must not be installed close to the wall, the minimum distance is 5 cm. If the hoses are pinched, water circulation deteriorates. The device board will report an error.
Household appliances from different manufacturers have differences in design. The instruction manual contains information about a specific model, its installation, connection to communication systems, technical requirements are indicated.
Reference. If, within 6 months, the unit breaks down due to improper installation (incorrect positioning of hoses, strong vibration of the housing, etc.), warranty service is removed and repairs will have to be done at our own expense.
Connect the dishwasher to electricity: electrical line parameters
If during the repair a separate outlet is not provided for the dishwasher, install it.
Important! To connect such household appliances, tees and extension cords are not recommended - they do not withstand the load and can cause a fire.
What outlet to put for the dishwasher
To connect the dishwasher to the mains, it is recommended to use an earthed outlet with grounding, which has a high degree of protection against moisture. To prevent water from leaking into it, the socket for built-in models is installed at least 15-20 cm from the floor, for stand-alone equipment - at a height of 40-90 cm. It is placed to the left or right of the unit, but not behind it. In this case, the length of the cord with the plug is taken into account. Usually it does not exceed 1-1.5 m. 
To connect, use a wire with a section that can withstand increased loads, and with non-combustible insulation. A three-wire copper wire (VVGng 3 * 2.5) is considered optimal.
From the outlet, the wire is pulled to the electrical panel with a separate circuit breaker. To connect the equipment, during the repair, make a separate strob for the cable line. If this is not possible, use an existing outlet that must be protected by an RCD.
Attention! Work in the shield is carried out only by specialists from the service company.
After installation, the socket is checked - any device, for example, a desk lamp, is connected.
Water and sewage connection
For work, prepare a set of screwdrivers, an adjustable wrench and an insulating tape.
There are two ways to connect the dishwasher to the water supply: 
- During construction or repair work, when they carry out the laying of individual pipes, they will ditch the walls, etc.
- After finishing work, when the equipment must be connected to existing water supply and sewage systems.
To make a major installation, use the following materials:
- polypropylene pipe PPR PN20 with a diameter of 20 mm,
- water outlet
- nut connectors
- connection fitting PPR-90 at an angle of 90 °,
- HP / PH male thread HP inch
- fum tape.
The length of the pipe and the number of fittings depend on the distance at which the dishwasher is located from the cold water collector. For installation work, a wall chaser and apparatus soldering polypropylene pipes will be required.
First mark the route along which the pipes will be laid. Then, with the help of a chaser, the required depth is cut. PPR connectors with union nut are connected to the collector output. Part of the pipe is cut off so that it is enough to turn or corner, leaving a margin of 15 mm on both sides of the connection. 
The pipe and fitting are connected using a soldering apparatus, while the position of the square is controlled. Having connected all the pipes, they install a water outlet and fix it on the wall. Then a square with an external thread with a diameter of ¾ inch is screwed into it. A water supply hose is mounted on it. To check the water include. If there are no leaks, close the stroba.
Then the equipment is connected to the drain. To do this, the hose from the dishwasher is connected to the outlet of the sewer using a transitional cuff of the required diameter. At the same time, it is taken into account that the drain pipe is mounted at an angle of 1 cm of a height difference of 1 m in length. The drain hose must have a bend of 70 cm from the floor.
After installation, the equipment is connected to the mains and the system is checked. If everything works correctly, it is fixed in a special opening. 
For compact dishwashers, the technical documentation provides for the possibility of installation without a fixed connection to the sewer and plumbing systems. Before operation, the water supply hose is connected to the mixer, and the drain hose is placed in the sink. This method has several disadvantages:
- requires additional actions before each use of the equipment,
- the joints wear out and loose
- as a result of strong pressure, the hose falls out of the sink and floods the floor,
- while the dishwasher is operating, the sink is busy.
Therefore, it is safer to choose a special place for equipment and connect it to communication systems.
Inlet hose connection
If there is no need and opportunity for laying separate pipes for supplying and draining water, dishwasher equipment is connected in a simpler way.
In order for water to enter the machine, the hose must be connected to a pipe or flexible wiring through a tee or adapter. To do this, the flexible hose of the mixer is disconnected from the pipe. Then screw a ½ inch tee in a straight line with a ¾ inch bend on the side and a water shutoff tap. To the connection was tight, use fum tape. ¾ inch pipe out in the right direction. Then screw a flexible eyeliner to a ½ inch outlet and a PMM hose to a side outlet. It is usually equipped with leakage protection.
Some users, in order to save money, connect the equipment not only to a pipe with cold, but also with hot water. Not every unit is suitable for this, so you should first study the operating instructions so that the device does not break. This connection also has disadvantages:
- when the water is hotter than set by the program, this leads to failure of the electronic unit,
- hot water is more dirty than cold,
- hot water at a centralized water supply is periodically shut off,
- the use of hot water leads to premature failure of some components of the equipment.
Experts recommend connecting the device to a pipe with cold water. Modern models are economical and consume a small amount of electricity. When using hot water, the savings are minimal, and the risk of breakage is high.
Where and how to withdraw stock
A drain hose is installed in the dishwasher to drain drains. It is connected to the sewer pipe directly, installing an additional outlet with a sealant, or through a siphon under the sink. The latter method is considered more successful. It protects against unpleasant odors and water. The necessary pressure is created in the pipe, which prevents the reverse flow of fluid.
To drain through a siphon, it is changed to a special one, in which there is a fitting for a drain hose. To replace the top, unscrew the screw. Disconnect the drain from the sewer by pulling it towards itself so that it comes out of the rubber retainer. Then a new siphon is collected and mounted in place of the old one. A flexible drain pipe is brought to the sewer pipe, after which a drain hose for household appliances is connected to the siphon pipe through an adapter.
Reference. A valve must be included with the adapter, blocking the flow of fluid in the opposite direction.
Verifying installation and connection
After connecting to the communications, the dishwasher is fixed in the designated place and a test washing is carried out. They check not only the possible occurrence of leaks, but also detect the presence of extraneous noise, shaking or moving equipment during operation. If there are no complaints about the technique, put on the cover panel on the unit.
Reference. The first wash is carried out without dishes. At the same time, washing powder or a special tablet is used to clean and disinfect the internal surfaces.
Installation of the built-in dishwasher
The built-in dishwasher differs from the freestanding lack of decorative plastic panels on the top, front and sides. These panels are not necessary, since the device is built into the furniture set in the kitchen. Employees of the company "Home Masters" perform the installation of the device in a specially prepared place for it.
The installation process consists of the following steps:
- unpacking
- installation of the device in the space provided for it,
- connections to the water supply and discharge system,
- power system connections,
- body alignment to prevent vibrations,
- installation of the front door,
- check (start of a test cycle for washing dishes).
Connection of the dishwasher to the water supply and sewerage
The machine is connected to the water supply and drain system according to the scheme provided by the manufacturer, using special hoses. It is important to ensure reliable sealing of the joints in order to avoid leaks of incoming and waste water, as well as to eliminate the appearance of an unpleasant odor from the sewer. Plumbers companies use quality materials to ensure tightness.
Installing the dishwasher in the finished kitchen
Only freestanding models are suitable for installation in the finished kitchen, if there was no place for installing the built-in dishwasher 
provided by the kitchen project. We will install both full-size and narrow models, making the use of the device as convenient as possible.
Prices for installing dishwashers
The cost of installing a dishwasher starts at 950 rubles. It can be reviewed in case of difficulties during installation, as well as if additional manipulations with water supply and drainage systems are necessary.
Make a request for installation and connection of the dishwasher at the number +7 (499) 394-66-58. High level of service and reasonable prices for the whole range of services are the main advantages of Home Masters.
Necessary communications
So, we have decided on the model and dimensions of the equipment. Now you need to prepare the place where the kitchen assistant will stand.If you purchase equipment at the same time as furniture in an empty room, then you will need to carefully consider and calculate the location of all communications that will be required to connect the machine, namely:
- water pipe,
- Sewerage
- electrical outlets.
A little tip: consultants in furniture stores will help you quickly design your kitchen, taking into account all sizes and locations of cabinets and appliances.
An approximate plan for placing dishwashers and other kitchen appliances
When designing a project, keep in mind that it will be best to place the unit near the sink, but away from heat sources, since elevated temperatures can adversely affect the operation of the equipment.
You can develop a project on a computer using one of the many designer programs. A special article will tell about the main nuances of the independent production of a drawing of kitchen furniture.
Instructions for the preparation and installation of communications and connection to them
Before installing the dishwasher, you need to prepare the communications to which we will connect the equipment. How to do this - read the instructions.
To connect the dishwasher, you need to prepare some tools
And before you get started, prepare the necessary tools and accessories that you need:
- flat and Phillips screwdrivers, adjustable spanner, pliers,
- level and tape measure (laser will be very convenient),
- screwdriver, puncher or drill, chisel, chipper,
- sewer tee,
- cold water hose (sold with the product),
- corrugation, clamps, adapter, three-way valve,
- filter (if not included in the machine configuration),
- siphon,
- rubber pads
- Eurostandard socket (preferably with moisture protection) and a sock,
- three-core cable with a cross section of 1.5 mm
- rubber cuff.
Be prepared for the fact that many more small things may be needed, for example, such as self-tapping screws of different lengths, fumlent, which it is desirable to wrap on threaded parts.
Step number 1 - connect to electricity
For equipment such as a dishwasher, a separate outlet is required, preferably with grounding. To do this, from the junction box, which is usually located under the ceiling, you need to conduct the wire using a hidden or surface (open) installation, that is, in a strobe or cable channel to the estimated location of the outlet. It should be borne in mind that from the place of installation of the machine to the outlet, the distance should be no more than one and a half meters, since according to the standard the cord length of the product is usually equal to 1.5 meters.
It is imperative to equip a separate outlet for the dishwasher
Important! Before and during the production of electrical work, it is necessary to disconnect current-carrying elements (turn off the machine in the shield). If you do not have the necessary experience, then the electrical work must be entrusted to a qualified specialist.
A separate outlet is required for the dishwasher, as safety rules dictate to us
Flush mounting
Flush mounting is carried out in a room where the walls are not yet lined with a finishing decorative coating, for example, wallpaper or tile. This type of work involves hiding the electric cable in the wall. With the help of a chaser and a perforator, in the wall we select the chisel and a niche for a socket.
Work can be carried out on bare walls that are not yet painted or even leveled.
Prices for popular models of chippers
In a niche for construction glue (suitable “liquid nails”, tiled glue, gypsum mortar, etc.) we mount a socket, and for a more durable fixation we draw it with screws to the wall.
We lay the copper cable in the gate, connect it on the one side in the junction box, and connect the outlet to the other and fix it in the socket. We fill the strob with the composition of the building mixture (gypsum, alabaster, putty, etc.). Level, after drying we grind. With the final decoration of the walls, such wiring will be completely invisible.
So-called open installation can also be carried out, in which the machine will be installed in a room with a ready repair
Outdoor installation
Outdoor installation is used for ready-made repairs, so as not to spoil the appearance of the walls with a strobe. In this type of work, from the junction box to the intended location of the outlet to the wall, a cable channel of the required cross section and an outlet of an external design are mounted. Next, connect the cable by analogy with a hidden wiring option.
After completing the installation of electrical wiring, turn on the power supply, and make a test run of household appliances.
Step number 2 - connect the water supply
Before connecting the water supply to the machine, close the water supply valve to the house. This faucet is most often located in the bathroom. Further, in the place of connection of one of the water consumers (washing machine, cold or hot water tap, filter), we install a tee with a three-way angle tap, restore the water supply to the existing consumer and connect the inlet hose of our washing equipment. Please note that if the thread or diameter of the tee and hose do not match, then you will need an adapter.
At this stage, the water supply will be connected
In the case of using rigid pipes instead of the inlet hose, filters should be installed for rough water purification in front of the three-way tap in order to extend the correct operation of the dishwasher for a longer period.
It is better to use a flexible hose when connecting.
There is an option for a simpler connection - this is a direct connection of the inlet hose directly to the mixer at the sink. But this method has a significant drawback - the inability to use water during operation of the machine and the unattractive appearance of the hose.
The dishwasher must be connected directly to cold water.
Many people have a question: what water to connect the dishwasher to? It will be more correct to connect to the cold one, since each unit has several programs and the corresponding temperature regimes, that is, the machine itself will heat the water to the required temperature.
But I must say that you can also connect to hot water. This is done in order to save energy consumption for water heating machine. Although it is worth weighing the pros and cons of such savings, especially if you use central heating and water heating.
Step number 3 - connect the sewer
The last important step in connecting the dishwasher to communication networks is the drainage system, or, in other words, the connection to the sewer. There are two possible options for this operation.
- With a tee.
- Install a siphon.
There are several options for arranging a drainage system
Consider each of the options. Tee Installation - Not the most successful way, but it happens that there is no other way. It is used if the equipment is installed at a certain distance from the sink, and since the unit hose cannot be extended, the option of inserting an oblique tee into the sewer pipe as close to the machine as possible remains the only correct one.
This is not an easy job, so try to follow the recommendations of specialists related to the installation of this system
We insert a rubber sealing cuff into the tee, which serves to seal the connection of the drainage hose and the sewage system, as well as to prevent the entry of unpleasant odors from the pipe into the kitchen room. We insert the drain hose of the dishwasher into the cuff, in which it will be securely fixed and the flow of water during operation of the device is excluded.
In order to avoid the unpleasant odor from the sewage system entering the dishwasher chamber, it is necessary to create a bend - a water lock with the drain hose, that is, lower a part of the hose below the tie-in level in the tee.
Second option with siphon installation more simple and reliable. To do this, you need to replace the regular siphon under the sink with a model with an additional pipe. We connect the hose, but it is already straight, without kinks, to the siphon and, for reliability, we fix the connection point with a clamp.
You can simply and quickly install the siphon, and the system will work with a bang
Built in furniture
So, the communications needed to connect the dishwasher are prepared. Next, adjust the height of the unit using the legs, and so that their height is the same, use the level.
Try to conduct a test wash before the product is installed, if it suddenly turns out to be broken
Before the machine is built into the kitchen, a test wash with detergent should be started. This will help you find out the flaws in the connection, a possible leak at the joints and eliminate these minor troubles in time.
Install in the housing
Provided that you purchased the equipment separately from the furniture and the dishwasher is not integrated into the set, and its installation is not the responsibility of the company engaged in the assembly and installation of furniture, then you should build in the equipment yourself after assembling the kitchen cabinets.
It is better, of course, that the initial design of the kitchen included a niche under the dishwasher
If a kitchen project provided a niche for installing built-in appliances, then this will facilitate your task. And if the headsets have settled in your kitchen for a long time and you don’t intend to change it, but you bought the dishwasher much later, you only have to disassemble one of the cabinets.
Kitchen furniture usually has standard sizes of floor cabinets, which in most cases coincide with the dimensions of built-in household appliances. Therefore, in order to install the machine in the cabinet, it is necessary to dismantle the facades, remove the hinges, the rear wall, so as not to interfere with the installation of hoses and the lower shelf. If the cabinet was with drawers, then remove the drawers and unscrew the guides on which they were installed. As a result, only the side walls and the countertop should remain.
The installation involves ordering an additional facade from a furniture company that will produce a kitchen set for you
Keep in mind that for built-in appliances you will have to order an additional facade for the size of the unit in the furniture industry.
Further, the inside of the furniture must be glued with a vapor barrier material, since most of the modern furniture is made of particleboard, which can swell and lose shape - it does not tolerate steam and moisture entering the surface.
Another important point is the surface on which the machine will be installed. If you will not put it on the floor, but on the base of the kitchen, make sure that it is level and reliable enough.
Embedding appliances is best done at the stage of collecting the kitchen
Next, carefully and carefully, trying not to damage the cable and hoses, we push the dishwasher in its place. It is important to leave a clearance of at least 5 cm between the wall and the rear wall of the machine.
The next step will be fixing the machine so that it does not vibrate and does not move during operation. To do this, use the fastener parts that are sold with the unit. Open the door of the machine and see the plugs on the sides, remove them and through the holes that appear, pull the machine with screws to the adjacent sides of the cabinet, and then put the plugs back in place.
Following the instructions, lock the machine inside the niche intended for it.
Isolate the countertop
The machine is installed, now you need to hang the facade and take care of the countertop. The fact is that countertops are made of different materials, but most often from:
It all depends on the wishes and financial capabilities of the customer. If the top cover of kitchen cabinets is made of natural or artificial stone, then the steam from the dishwasher will not harm him.
The MDF worktop - medium density fiberboard covered with a laminated film or acrylic - is also not scary, as the material is moisture resistant.
The countertop must be insulated after installing the dishwasher
But in the most budgetary versions of kitchens, they use a tabletop all from the same chipboard of different thicknesses and this material should be protected from steam in order to extend the life of the product. Complete with a dishwasher there should be a special metal plate designed specifically to protect the protruding edge of the countertop from moisture and steam.
We fix the facade
It remains to decorate the dishwasher with a facade panel. It is hung directly on the door of the unit and manufacturers provide holes for self-tapping screws for installation work.
Lastly, the facade is reinforced
The facade itself is best ordered from the same manufacturer from which the kitchen set was purchased. Or you can make it from the doors from the cabinet into which the machine is built.
Significantly facilitate the installation of the front of the template, which marked the location of the fasteners. Incidentally, it should also be complete with documents for the equipment.
The facade must be hung carefully, otherwise it will fail over time
To correctly and accurately hang the facade, use a few tips:
- the first thing is to attach a handle to the facade, take the handles of adjacent cabinets for the landmark,
- use a tape measure, check the position of the door and the template in order to get a symmetrical even appearance of your headset,
- when using the template, it should be securely fixed so that it does not move out,
- select the necessary lengths for fixing screws - they should not go outside from the front side, but at the same time deeply and firmly enter the panel.
Fastening of the front panel is done exclusively with self-tapping screws
Cordless drill / driver prices
Keep in mind that the front part is mounted only on self-tapping screws. It will be a big mistake to put this decorative element on double-sided tape or glue. There are two options for the development of events: either the glue very quickly loses its adhesive properties due to the constant temperature difference, or vice versa, it glues the facade very firmly, which will also not be practical, especially if you want to change kitchen furniture sooner or later, and with it the decorative element of the facade of the sink.
At the end of the installation of the facade, close the door of the machine, look for gaps, if necessary, tighten all the fasteners again and you can consider the installation of the built-in dishwasher complete.
Dishwasher - an indispensable unit in any kitchen
Neighborhood: dangerous and not very
The correct installation of any household appliances guarantees its long and uninterrupted operation. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the advice of manufacturers and specialists so that your mechanical assistants work efficiently and long-term. Consider a few of the recommendations.
Tip 1. The built-in dishwasher is not recommended to be installed from the very edge of the kitchen set as a continuation of it, otherwise you will have to order cabinet parts and countertops from furniture makers.
Tip 2. The dishwasher should be kept away from any heat sources, whether it is a heating battery, an oven or a hob. The recommended distance from the oven should be at least 40 cm, some manufacturers even indicate this in the installation instructions. Failure to comply with this rule threatens the service center with a warranty repair.
The dishwasher should be installed in a specific place in the kitchen, taking into account the location of the remaining built-in units
In addition, the machine will overheat from excessive heat, which will affect the quality of the seals, which will dry out very quickly and become unusable. If, nevertheless, the dimensions of your kitchen do not allow you to install the equipment at the required distance from each other, then lay a sheet of foil polyethylene between the devices.
Tip 3. It is undesirable to place the dishwasher close to the washing machine. During the cycle of washing and spinning, the washing machine vibrates quite a lot and hits neighboring objects, which is quite disastrous for them.
Worse only if you turn on two devices at the same time. The vibration of one appliance, transmitted to another, is able to break fragile dishes inside the washing chamber.
The dishwasher should not stand next to the machine, the latter can cause serious harm to it
Tip 4. A seemingly harmless microwave oven also does not have a good effect on household appliances. The electromagnetic waves that it emits can have a negative effect on the electronic unit of washing and dishwashers. Ideally, it is generally better to hang the stove on special brackets that are attached to the wall or placed at a distance of at least 50 cm from any household appliances, but this is not always possible.
Tip 5. The dishwasher will calmly move the neighborhood with a freezer and a refrigerator. It does not heat up very much and vibrates very weakly, which in no way affects the operation of nearby equipment.
But next to the refrigerator we can put the device we are interested in, since for it it will be a completely safe neighborhood
Conclusion
As you can see, installing a built-in dishwasher yourself is not such a difficult matter. The main thing is to prepare the necessary communications and take into account the advice of manufacturers and installation specialists. And then the equipment will work for a long time and smoothly, and in your life there will be free time that you can devote to yourself and your beloved people.

Connecting a dishwasher in Balashikha
Dishwasher - a technique that facilitates everyday life. It saves time and water and justifies spending on a purchase in a couple of years. However, before the dishwasher begins to serve correctly, it must be correctly installed. You can do this yourself, but the risk is to connect the pipes or wiring incorrectly if you do not have enough specialized knowledge. Therefore, the problem is to turn to professionals.
Why is the installation of a dishwasher by craftsmen a popular service? Because independent work carries a risk to health and life. And not only at the time of installation, but also after - even when the equipment is idle.
The danger is connected to the wiring network. You can only connect the dishwasher through Euro outlets with good grounding. The Soviet analogue of sockets is not suitable, because the equipment is equipped with collapsible euro plugs. They cannot be replaced - the operation of a machine with a non-native plug is fraught with dangers and nullification of the warranty period.
Check the quality of grounding and make it yourself impossible. Even if the process goes without excesses, the energy service will award a fine to the “home” master and still force them to resort to the help of a specialist.
In addition, for the dishwasher you need to make a separate outlet, powered by a tap from the main network. To make such a tap and the outlet itself must be an electrician.
Dishwasher Installation Steps
Installation itself is a relatively simple process, but requires special devices. In particular, adjustable wrenches, FUM electrical tape, a siphon with two inputs, a filter, a stopcock and much more.
GorMaster specialists in Balashikha always have all the necessary equipment with them. Work passes quickly and fits into several stages:
- Works with the electric network, installation of an additional outlet,
- Cold water supply (hot water cannot be used, because it is worse in quality and spoils the internal washing systems). To do this, a tee cuts into the joint of the flexible hose and pipe. A water filter and a stopcock are connected to it. The hose from the dishwasher is screwed to the tap. All the masters are wrapped with waterproofing FUM tape,
- Installation of the drain. To do this, change the siphon under the sink, if it has only one drain, and connect the hose from the machine to the free entrance. The connection point must be made with a bend so that water from the sink does not fall into the sink,
- Check for leaks and proper installation. First, open the stopcock not including the machine. If everything is in order, then they start the work in test mode and see if there are any smudges.
Benefits of Collaboration
- For all services, the masters are financially responsible, therefore they work with maximum efficiency,
- The experience of specialists is not less than two years, all without bad habits - no constant "breaks",
- The master arrives at a time convenient for you, in 90% of cases - on the day of treatment,
- After installing the machine, a specialist will remove garbage and leave clean and tidy after itself,
- Warranty for installation - 1 month.
Contact the specialists of the GorMaster service in Balashikha if you need to install the dishwasher efficiently and within a couple of hours. Leave a request on the website or call the office - consultants will listen to your problem and appoint an experienced wizard to help.
1. Stages of connection
The main steps for installing a dishwasher in the water supply and drainage system are the following steps:
- model selection
- preparatory work,
- installation of a power outlet,
- water connection,
- sewage drainage installations,
- final check of product performance.
First you need to purchase a device. The product is selected based on their own needs and capabilities. Do not listen to the advice of others - everyone needs different. A family of 3 people, for example, is suitable for a narrow machine, and for a large number of people full-size models are selected. In addition to the dimensions of the product, you must be guided by the type - built-in or freestanding.
Before starting the connection, you should carefully inspect the product for defects. During transportation, it could be damaged - such a device can not be installed. If the machine is serviceable, then you can begin the preparatory work and carry out the connection.
2. Preparatory work
To connect, you must have the tools:
- screwdriwer set,
- adjustable wrench
- insulating tape.
You also need to purchase materials:
- siphon - this part must be equipped with a fitting,
- waterproofing tape,
- metal-plastic or brass tee,
- ball-type valve (as well as a tee - made of metal-plastic or brass).
It is advisable to purchase parts made of brass or metal plastic. It is better to refuse silumin products - they can crumble into parts during operation.
Pay attention to waterproofing tape. It should be thin and high quality. Due to this, it will be easily wrapped in a thread. Do not replace it with insulating tape - it is not intended for these purposes and over time a leak will form.
3. Installing a power outlet
If the outlet is already installed, then you can skip this step. And after connecting the water supply and drainage system, simply insert the plug into the outlet and use the device. If the wiring to the machine is not provided in advance, then you will need:
- calculate the current consumption by the power of the device,
- Based on the obtained current value, the required cable section is selected. It is advisable to lead a separate cable to the dishwasher from the electrical panel,
If difficulties arise at this stage, it is best to seek help from an electrician. Do not try to do the job if you are not sure of your actions.
4. Water connection
The water supply is connected to cold water. It is advisable to install a filter on water, which will reduce its stiffness. This will significantly extend the life of the device.
If you do not pay due attention to water quality, then the machine will quickly fail. The check valve in the device will break. This will lead to the fact that even cleanly washed dishes will smell unpleasant.
To prevent the check valve from failing, water filters are installed. In addition, the water supply is connected only to cold water. It is not advisable to attach to the hot one, because the quality of such water does not have the necessary requirements.
Stages of connecting the water supply:
- overlapping water - usually the faucet is in the kitchen,
- disconnecting the hose from the mixer,
- a tee is screwed onto the pipe and connected to the mixer,
- a ball valve is connected to the tee (in the middle branch). The latter has an outlet to which a hose from the dishwasher is already connected,
- a tap filter is installed to trap debris.
A dishwasher usually comes with a short hose. It may not be enough to connect to the pipe. In this case, it is recommended to purchase a longer hose. Do not try to build up the old one - this will be a very unreliable solution.
5. Installation of sewage drain
One of the most common ways to independently connect the device to the drainage system is to organize a drain through a siphon. This procedure should be carried out carefully and adhere to all installation recommendations.
It is imperative to equip the water drain with a check valve and an additional outlet. This will protect against the ingress of water from the sewer into the device.
Step-by-step connection instructions:
- the hose that leaves the machine is mounted on a wall or on a pedestal. It should be located no less than 60 cm above the drain outlet,
- the fixed hose bends at the required angle to create a gravity flow of water from the device. An excess should be done so that water from the sink does not fall into the hose of the dishwasher,
- The drain circuit is connected to a siphon under the sink.
If there is already a siphon without bends under the sink that you don’t want to change, you can use another method. To do this, the drain hose of the machine is connected to the drain of the sewer pipe. After this, the joint is tightly wrapped with electrical tape. In this case, you should bend the hose so that water from the sewer does not get into it.
Before connecting the drain, check the length of the hose again. It should be enough. If it is short, then it can be increased. But you need not to overdo it - the extra length can negatively affect the pump.
6. Performance check
When the device is connected to communications, it is tested for suitability for use. To do this, the machine should stand firmly in the space provided for it. It is connected to the power supply and the normal washing mode is set. Start-up is idling. At the same time should be absent:
- leaks
- extraneous noise
- shaking and moving the dishwasher,
- slow fill rate
- slow heating of water.
If all these items are missing, then the machine is installed correctly. After that, all the furniture is put in place and a lockable panel is put on the device. The first test run is done without dishes. In this case, a special detergent is used.
7. Some nuances of installing built-in dishwashers
Freestanding machines connect much easier. But with the built-in need more work. They come with an additional panel of wood. It has a decorative function and comes without holes for attaching to the device - they must be done independently.
Technology preparatory work for embedded technology:
- holes for fasteners are carefully drilled with a drill. It is necessary to make them of such depth so as not to make a through hole. To do this, it is advisable to follow the instructions that come with each device model,
- hinges screw the hinges to the door. All fasteners are usually included.
- door springs are adjusted. Due to this, the door does not randomly open and does not close in any position. Each spring is equipped with a special mechanism that is adjustable. As a rule, in this case, a special nut is tightened,
- providing vapor barrier.
In ensuring the vapor barrier of the dishwasher, you should understand in more detail. The reliability of the device depends on this.
9. Vapor barrier of kitchen furniture
Some manufacturers of built-in dishwashers supply their products with a special material that insulates its walls. Due to this, the efficiency of the device increases. This approach allows you to reduce the resulting vibration during operation.
With independent vapor barrier, a special film is used. It has vapor barrier properties and glues to furniture around the machine. You do not need to use a regular film that does not allow air to pass through. So condensation will form on the walls of the machine, which is unacceptable. It is better to use a special material that passes air very slowly.
9. Important features
In order to make a reliable connection of the device, you must:
- install a water filter. Due to this, garbage and rust from the water supply system, which negatively affect its operation, will not get into the machine,
- Do not connect the device to hot water. Hot water, as a rule, has a worse quality than cold. The mechanical impurities that it has in its composition will negatively affect work,
- Do not connect the machine to the boiler. There will be no savings from this - the water heater will still periodically turn on to heat the water. And the residents during the operation of the machine will have to use cold water from the tap,
- use a check valve when connecting the sewer. This will protect the machine from sucking wastewater,
- when connecting the drain hose to the drain, the water drain circuit is bent so that water from the sink does not get into the machine,
- carefully check the tightness of the connected parts,
- it is desirable to acquire cranes from bronze. This material is more durable than plastic,
- Avoid using extension cords to connect the device to power. The machine is a fairly powerful device, because such a connection can lead to fire.
Such simple recommendations will help to avoid common mistakes when connecting the dishwasher to the water supply and sewerage.When installing, follow the instructions that came with the device. The reliability and tightness of all attached parts should be checked several times. If difficulties arise, it is better to turn to specialists, it will be cheaper than fixing the breakdowns later.
