Installing built-under "U" model dishwashers
8. Matching the plinth facing of
a kitchen run
The plinth facing supplied will fit without
modification:
– for a maximum plinth return of 100
mm
– and when the machine is set to its
maximum height (feet fully extended
- max. 5 cm).
If the machine height is lower than the
maximum, and the plinth recess is less
than 100 mm, the plinth facing will need
to be trimmed to size.
To prevent the door hitting the plinth
facing when the dishwasher door is
opened the height of the plinth facing
has to be adjusted to suit the height of
the dishwasher and the depth of the
plinth return.
^ Carefully open the dishwasher door
until the rear bottom edge of the
dishwasher door touches the plinth
facing.
^ Using the front lower edge of the
dishwasher door as a guide, draw a
horizontal line across the plinth
facing.
^ Unscrew the plinth facing.
^ To shorten the plinth facing:
- either trim along this line with
a saw;
or
– cut along one of the cutting lines
if it is close enough to the line
you have drawn.
Score the cutting line along the
plinth facing and then break off
the excess.
^ Screw the plinth facing back onto the
brackets, with the cutting line at the
bottom.
If the door still does not open smoothly
the plinth facing may need further
trimming.
