please note that specific installation steps may vary depending on the exact model you have. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions provided with your dishwasher for the most accurate and up-to-date information. Here are the general steps to install a benchtop dishwasher:
Unpack the dishwasher: Carefully unpack the dishwasher and remove all packaging materials. Inspect the unit for any visible damage. If you notice any issues, contact the manufacturer for assistance.
Check the accessories: Ensure that all the necessary accessories and parts, such as hoses, brackets, and adapters, are included in the package.
Choose a location: Select a suitable location for the dishwasher near a water supply, a drain, and an electrical outlet. Make sure there is enough space for the dishwasher to sit securely on the countertop or other surface.
Connect the water supply: Most benchtop dishwashers require a connection to a water supply. Some models come with a fill hose and adapter, while others may require you to purchase these separately. Connect the fill hose to the dishwasher's water inlet valve and then to the water supply. Ensure the connections are secure and free of leaks.
Connect the drain hose: The dishwasher's drain hose needs to be connected to a suitable drain point. This can be a sink drain or a designated dishwasher drain connection if available. Ensure that the drain hose is positioned correctly and secured in place to prevent leaks.
Connect to power: Plug the dishwasher's power cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet. If the dishwasher has a separate power switch or button, turn it on.
Level the dishwasher: Use a spirit level to ensure the dishwasher is level from front to back and side to side. Adjust the leveling feet or add shims under the dishwasher if needed to achieve a stable and level installation.
Test the dishwasher: Before using the dishwasher for the first time, run a test cycle to check for any leaks, proper drainage, and that all components are functioning correctly.
Follow the user manual: Refer to the user manual provided with your Kogan benchtop dishwasher for any specific setup instructions, safety guidelines, and troubleshooting tips.
Always prioritize safety during the installation process. If you encounter any difficulties or are unsure about any step, consult a professional plumber or technician for assistance. Incorrect installation could lead to damage, leaks, or other issues with the dishwasher and surrounding areas.
