If a side-by-side installation is
desired, connect the two appliances
together. See the Installation Manual
included with the "Merging Kit".

^ Unscrew the plinth.

^ To protect the corners of the

installation space, attach the
supplied edge protector

a on both

sides with adhesive tape.

^ Plug the appliance into the power

outlet

b.

The plug of the appliance should be
easily accessible after installation.
If the plug is not accessible after the

circuit breaker.

In the case of side-by-side
installations, a separate outlet must
be used for each appliance.

becoming caught:
Tie a piece of string to the middle of
the power cord and feed it forward
under the appliance. When sliding
the appliance in, pull the cable

space until the height-adjustable
wheels interlock with the anti-tip
brackets

slide the appliance into the installation

outward (see "Aligning the appliance"),
then push the appliance in.

Be careful not to damage the water pipe
or power cord attached to the floor.
