How to install a Candy dishwasher

How to install a Candy dishwasher Prices for dishwashers have never been low, so not every Russian family could afford this indispensable assistant. What can we say about the current situation on the market, when the only thing not rising in price is air. The situation is further aggravated by the need to pay a specialist for installation. However, installing a Candy dishwasher is not that difficult, so you can do everything yourself and save your family budget. It is only important to strictly follow the instructions so as not to damage the dishwasher and not void the warranty for the newly purchased equipment.

Where will the dishwasher be located?

Beginners often believe that they can install a dishwasher in just five minutes, and even skip the preliminary preparation stage. But this approach promises the owners a number of troubles that can be avoided by devoting extra time to arranging a place for equipment. People often think that a special place should be prepared only for built-in PMMs, but this is a common mistake, because you need to think about the place in advance when dealing with any equipment.

First of all, it is worth understanding where the device will stand in such a way as not to disturb anyone, and also be close to all the necessary communications. It is very important that the distance to the sewer and water supply is no more than 3 meters. But this is the most extreme case, because the shorter the distance, the better. You also need:

that the dishwasher is installed on a level and solid base;
there must also be a connection point to cold water and sewage nearby;
Finally, there must be a high-quality socket.

It is better to connect the dishwasher to a moisture-proof outlet to prevent water from accidentally entering it.

We are accustomed to the fact that apartments must have flat floors everywhere, so we don’t even think about this until we purchase complex equipment. However, the floors in a private house and any apartment can rot, and their base can begin to sag. If there are unevenness or small differences in a regular floor, then there is nothing wrong with that, and the equipment can be installed on such a base.

Now you should take care of organizing a water outlet. Make sure that the tee valve fits properly between the tap on the mixer and the cold water pipe. You also need to make sure that the dishwasher hose will reach the faucet. Instructions on how to install the faucet will be described below. connecting the machine to the water supply

Now you need to make sure that the drain hose from the dishwasher will reach the side outlet of the siphon. To avoid having to lengthen the hose, immediately measure the distance from the intended installation location of the equipment to the siphon. If the house has a siphon without a drain, or it is already occupied by a washing machine, then you will have to buy a siphon with a free drain. In the worst case, you will have to pull the drain hose of the machine into the sink or bathtub each time. But it’s better to avoid this and buy a siphon with a drain, because otherwise, after each wash of dishes, you will also have to wash the bathtub with the sink.

Finally, there was the electrician. The socket must be not only safe, but also reliable so that it can withstand the rated load created by the PMM. It is advisable to connect the device through a voltage stabilizer so that the connection is as secure as possible. With such a device, there are no dangers of power surges, so in the event of a power outage, the inside of the machine will not be damaged.

The last point of preliminary preparation is relevant for built-in dishwashers. In this case, you should first carefully measure the body of the machine, including all protruding parts. The results obtained must be compared with the dimensions of the niche where the dishwashing appliances will be built.

Materials needed for work

To install the Candy dishwasher, we do not need many tools and consumables. The only tools you will need to prepare are a screwdriver, pliers, an adjustable wrench and a building level. As for consumables, everything is a little more complicated with them. What do we need?

FUM tape.
PVC insulating tape.
Sealant.
Siphon with fitting to connect the drain hose.
¾ tee tap, preferably made of brass or bronze.
Flow filter with mesh.
A tee for a sewer pipe, needed in a situation where a sewer outlet was not previously made.

The list is impressive, but it can be even longer if the house has problems with electrical communications. In this case, you will have to purchase a number of additional electrical consumables. This list looks like this:

three-core electrical cable 2.5 copper;
European socket with water protection;
16A difautomat, which will protect the line;
optional, but it’s better to buy a stabilizer.

Never connect high-tech equipment to an old outlet or extension cord, as this is very dangerous.

In the event that we have to redo the communications, we will also need a hammer drill to prepare the grooves, an indicator screwdriver and wire cutters.But you can use this set of tools only if you have experience working with electrical wiring. If you do not have such experience, then it is better to call an electrician so that he can carry out all the dangerous work himself.

Putting the dishwasher back in place

Connecting a Candy dishwasher yourself should not cause any problems. This is true if the place for the equipment has been carefully prepared in advance, and all the tools have already been purchased. Just follow the instructions strictly and everything will work out.

First, connect the drain hose and move the machine to a place where it will always stand.
Remove the plug and connect the free end of the drain hose to the sewer outlet. The connection can be secured with sealant for reliability, but this is not necessary.
Next, turn off the cold water and disconnect the tap to the mixer from the cold water pipe.
Now we connect our tee tap to the filter.

It is better to purchase a flow filter with a mesh to contain large debris from the water supply, because it can get into the machine.

We screw on the tee tap and carefully insulate all connections with FUM tape.
One side of the tee is needed for the pipe, and the other for the mixer outlet. The third side of the tee remains, where we connect the inlet hose of the machine. We attach its second end to the equipment.
Finally, all that remains is the electrical work and finishing touches. We insert the power cord into the socket, move our Candy into place, and twist the legs so that it is clearly level.

This concludes our work. If you have a built-in PMM, then the eighth point will be attaching the facade to the door.This will not be difficult, since the front part is easily installed on special fasteners without the use of any tools. Congratulations, installation is complete!
