Beyond Bending Tell You How
Installing a dishwasher can be quite a daunting task, but with IKEA, things can be made easier. IKEA dishwashers are designed to be simple to install, even for those with no prior experience. In this article, we’ll provide an easy-to-follow guide on how to install an IKEA dishwasher.
Step 1: Unpacking the Dishwasher
Before you start setting up the dishwasher, you need to unpack it first. Make sure you have all the components, including the instructions manual, power cord, drain hose, and water inlet hose.
Step 2: Preparing the Installation Site
Choose a suitable location for the dishwasher – ideally, near the sink to make it easier to connect the water supply and drain hose. Make sure the location is level and has enough space to fit the dishwasher.
Step 3: Connecting the Water Supply
Connect the water inlet hose to the hot water supply under the sink. Make sure you turn off the water supply before connecting the hose. Tighten the hose to the valve using a wrench.
Step 4: Connecting the Drain Hose
Attach the drain hose to the sink drain or garbage disposal unit. Make sure the hose is secured tightly and is not kinked or pinched.
Step 5: Installing the Power Cord
Most IKEA dishwashers come with a power cord. Plug one end of the cord into the dishwasher and the other end into a grounded electrical outlet.
Step 6: Adjusting the Feet
Use the adjustable feet to ensure the dishwasher is level. Make sure all four feet are firmly on the ground and adjust them as necessary.
Step 7: Installing the Drain Line
Connect the drain line to the dishwasher drain outlet. Make sure it is securely attached and not kinked or pinched.
Step 8: Mounting the Dishwasher
Secure the dishwasher to the countertop using the mounting brackets. Make sure the brackets are tight and secure.
Step 9: Testing the Dishwasher
Once everything is connected, turn on the water supply and electrical outlet. Run a test cycle to make sure the dishwasher is running correctly.
Step 10: Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues during installation or testing, consult the IKEA dishwasher manual or contact customer support for assistance.
Conclusion
Installing an IKEA dishwasher is easy and straightforward, even for those with no prior experience. Follow these simple steps, and you’ll have your dishwasher up and running in no time.
