Installing a washing machine and dishwasher
Household appliances allow you to shift the monotonous everyday work to highly specialized units, who deal with it, by the way, much better than human hands. Connecting a washing machine and a dishwasher in Tallinn at Avgroup is an opportunity to make your life much easier, free up time for rest and favorite things.
Where to install the washing machine
Usually, if the area of the room allows, the washing machine is placed in the bathroom. This is quite justified - all the necessary outputs for the washing machine are nearby and there is no need to lay additional communications.
But the bathroom isn't the only place, where can the unit be installed. Kitchen, hallway, pantry and even a balcony - premises, where the connection of the washing machine is quite accessible (given that, that the balcony is well insulated and a constant positive temperature is maintained there). When choosing a location, you need to take into account possible leaks., therefore it is advisable to protect the floors with double waterproofing, and for flooring, use tiles.
Most machines are about 60 cm, but there are also more compact models - 45-49 cm. They are designed for small spaces, where only a narrow niche can be identified. There are also low shallow washers for installation under the sink..
Installing the dishwasher: accommodation features
The dishwasher is most often located in the kitchen.. Since during operation, vibration is transmitted to surrounding objects, it may negatively affect other household appliances. Therefore, it is advisable to install the device closer to the sink., away from the stove and refrigerator. To dampen vibration, used sealing gaskets.
According to the installation method, the machines can be:
- embedded;
- tabletop;
- freestanding.
Standard width of machinery - 60 cm, which corresponds to the kitchen unit. Compact models are somewhat narrower - 45 cm.
The dishwasher is connected by a tie-in into the cold water supply and sewerage pipelines. A grounded electrical outlet is also required., which is best placed in the public domain.
How to connect a washing machine / dishwasher
The complexity of installation depends on, whether the appliances are installed separately or built into a ready-made furniture set. For standard models, a compartment with a width of 60 cm.
The sequence of operations for connecting a dishwasher or washing machine:
- Equipment is being unpacked, the space required for installation is freed up. If cabinets or countertops get in the way, they are neatly dismantled.
- Legs are attached, with which you can adjust the position of the machine. For this they have a thread with a nut., to change the height when twisting.
- When the leads are located in a different room, drilling holes in the wall may be required. This is done using a puncher..
- Hoses for supply and drain are passed through the prepared hole, which are usually included in the package.
- A shut-off valve is installed on the water pipe, blocking water, when the unit is not working.
- One end of the supply hose is screwed to the water supply, the other - to the fitting on the machine body. Fittings are equipped with gaskets for tightness of connections and can be easily screwed on by hand without any tools.
- If necessary, a new wiring line is laid and a socket is mounted.
- The device is installed in place and regulated in level using the feet.
If there are closets nearby, the dishwasher is installed using elastic pads. They are attached to the sides to dampen vibrations. Dishwashing machines can be masked by a decorative facade or remain open.
The connection of the washing machine to the sewer can be carried out through a siphon or without it directly to the pipe. It is undesirable to simply throw the drain hose into a sink or bathtub., as the waste water runoff can pollute the plumbing.
