To properly install and connect the Bosch SilencePlus SMI68L05TR dishwasher, follow these steps: 1. Delivery: Upon receiving the dishwasher, check for any small water stains, which will disappear after the first wash cycle. 2. Technical specifications: The dishwasher weighs a maximum of 60 kg and operates on a voltage of 220-240 V, 50 Hz or 60 Hz. The connected load is 2000-2400 W, and the fuse should be 10/16 A (UK 13A). The power input in off mode and left on mode is 0.10 W. Additional functions and settings may increase the power input. The water pressure should be at least 0.05 MPa (0.5 bar) and a maximum of 1 MPa (10 bar). If the water pressure is higher, connect a pressure-reducing valve. The minimum inlet rate is 10 liters/minute, and the dishwasher can use cold water or hot water with a maximum temperature of 60 °C. 3. Installation: Refer to the installation instructions for the required installation dimensions. Level the appliance using the height-adjustable feet and ensure it is securely situated on the floor.

The dishwasher can be easily installed in a fitted kitchen between wooden and plastic walls. 4. Waste-water connection: Follow the work sequence provided in the installation instructions. If necessary, fit a siphon with a drainage connection. Connect the waste-water hose to the drainage connection of the siphon using the enclosed parts. Ensure that the drainage hose is not kinked, crushed, or twisted, and there are no cover plates in the drainage to prevent the waste water from flowing out.
