Preparation of

If well prepared, then the installation of the drain system will not cause difficulties even for the beginner. So, where do you start?

Test

After the device is brought home, it is necessary to check its integrity. For this you can just stagger the car. If there are noises inside, squeaks and other extraneous sounds - do not hurry to sign the certificate of acceptance-transfer of cargo. It is possible that during transportation the device has suffered, and its parts have shifted.

Packing material and bolts

If after such a check in the car there are no extraneous sounds - you can sign documents, release the loaders and remove all packaging from the device, including transport parts( bolts and staples).

Selecting the location of the

Even before the purchase of the device, think carefully about the place where it will be located. After all procedures with checking and removing the package, install the device at a preselected location.

Instruction

With each device in the kit is an instruction manual. Do not neglect its rules and read it in detail. In the manual you will find:

  • information - about the device of the machine, its details, the rules of installation and connection of all systems;
  • recommendations - how to use the device, description of available modes;
  • tips for loading dishes, as well as safety when working with the device.

After learning the instructions, you can prepare tools and get started.

Tools

So, for work you will need:

  • universal screwdriver or a set of screwdrivers;
  • adjustable wrench;
  • pipe wrench;
  • devices for cutting pipes;
  • building level;
  • electric or hand drill.

Having prepared all the necessary tools, you can start working.

Water connection

For this stage it is necessary to make a separate drainage. If necessary, you can also install a coarse filter - especially for country houses.

Important! If you install a filter, be sure to install a stopcock for the dishwasher in front of it. Connecting the device without a crane threatens to flood. However, if the device is equipped with leakage protection, then the need for a crane is not necessary.

Connection steps

As already mentioned above, first, if necessary, install a filter and protection. Also, if the length of the hose, which is equipped with a machine, is not enough - it must be increased.

So, the main stages of the work on plumbing:

  1. Shut off the water.
  2. Disconnect the flexible hose from the plastic pipe.
  3. Seal the tee threads with a special tape and screw it onto the flexible hose.
  4. Connect the hose to the faucet.

Let's consider also the stages of connection of the drain system of the device.

Draining connection

If the machine is installed according to the manufacturer's recommendations, it will inevitably be next to the sink or sink. Accordingly - the most convenient to make a drain through the siphon for the dishwasher.

Siphon

It is believed that the connection of the dishwasher through the siphon is more convenient and safe. Therefore, if possible - before installing all the machine systems, purchase a siphon and install it.

Important! When purchasing, please note whether the siphon has the ability to clean it. If not - then it is better to look for another option.

If necessary, purchase an adapter, which is wound on the siphon and allows you to connect an additional drain to it. But a more convenient and correct option would be to purchase a siphon with check valves, which will not allow sewage water to get back into the device.

Sewerage

It is more difficult to connect the drain directly to the sewage system. To avoid wastewater entering the device, it is necessary to provide a drainage height: the place where it will be connected to the sewer should be at least 40 cm lower than the level of the device.

Important! With this variant of connection, a siphon is often made from a corrugated pipe, which is bent by the letter S in order to protect the device from the ingress of sewage.

Checking

After completing all work on connecting the water supply, draining and power supply, the device is checked by starting the washing cycle without loading the dishes, but with all the necessary means. In this case, follow all the steps, and if there are problems somewhere - you need to stop the device and eliminate them.

Important! Trial run is required not only to check all connections, but also to flush the internal parts of the dust and dirt that got into the device during assembly, transportation and storage in the store.

Individual cases

There are models of dishwashers, which are subject to separate rules:

  1. If you are the owner of built-in equipment, please note that the device should be located no more than 1.5 m from the drain. If the device is placed further, the pump power may not be sufficient to pump the water.
  2. When using compact models, you can use a hose and an adapter to draw water from the mixer and drain the sink into the sink. This is convenient, because compact devices do not mean a stationary place, and rearranging the design with this connection will be much easier.
  3. If the dishwasher drain is installed as described above, make sure that the hose does not jump out under the pressure. Otherwise, you can flood not only your apartment, but also your neighbors.
  4. When installing in place, any dishwasher must be leveled using the building level.
  5. Some models have the ability to connect to both cold and hot water. But the solution will be to connect the machine only to cold water. The reason for this is the quality that is inferior to the cold water supply and the greater energy consumption of the device when the hot water is heated.

The connection of the dishwasher is very similar to the installation of the washers, but, of course, there are special features for each type of equipment. Before starting work, study the instruction - it will help you understand the nuances of your model.
