Installing The Dishwasher Under The Countertop; Installing The Steam Deflector - Miele G 879 SCVI Operating And Installation Instructions

Dishwasher installation
3. Installing the dishwasher
under the countertop.
It is preferable to install the main water
and electric supplies so that they can
be accessed through an adjacent
cabinet, rather than situating them be-
hind the machine. See the "Plumbing"
and "Electrical" sections for proper con-
nection procedures before continuing.
Certain steps in the installation
procedures require that the dish-
washer be pulled out of its opening.
For this reason, perform the plumb-
ing and electrical connections after
the machine has been levelled and
the front panel has been mounted.

Installing the steam deflector

(if applicable).
A stainless steel plate is supplied to
protect the underside of the countertop
against steam rising from the dish-
washer when the door is opened. If the
countertop is made of Corian®, gra-
nite, marble or other solid, waterproof
material, the steam deflector should not
be used.
Squeeze a bead of sealant from the
supplied tube into the angle formed
by the curved edge
plate.
Align the plate
edge of the countertop (see illustra-
tion) and use the supplied tacks to
nail it into place.
On countertops with wood or lami-
nate edging, the tacks should be
nailed through the rear holes of the
plate.
