如何:安装洗碗机吗
Unlike the plug-in appliances used in rooms beyond the kitchen, a dishwasher must be hardwired and hooked up to the home's plumbing. If you're up to challenge of installing it yourself, you can save real money.

尽管如此：要使事情保持简单，旨在用相同或相似尺寸的模型更换当前的洗碗机。如果您的厨房从未包括洗碗机，或者您购买的厨房可能会明显大于现有的模型复杂的橱柜，可能需要容纳新机器。这超出了本文的范围。但是，如果您的新设备适合旧的旧设备，则可以帮助您通过如何安装洗碗机 - 一份可以在几小时内完成的工作。
第1步
如果您当前的洗碗机仍然存在，显而易见的第一步是删除它。在进行进一步之前，将供水的供水关闭到洗碗机并将电源切割到设备上。为此，您需要关闭电源electrical panelby toggling the switch associated with the circuit on which the dishwasher runs. Double-check that the power is truly off by trying to turn on the machine. If the dishwasher doesn’t respond, it’s safe to move on by breaking the three connections that allow the dishwasher to do its dirty work: the drain line, the water supply, and the electrical supply.

第2步
随着旧洗碗机脱离，您现在可以准备新单元的连接。虽然可以重复使用现有的电气布线，但是更换供水管线（除非现有供应管线是铜，在这种情况下，您可以跳到步骤3）。取下旧的，最有可能的编织管道，然后从洗碗机柜的前部开始猛击1/2英寸的柔性铜管，然后将热水阀从水槽下面。完成后，使用管道切割器切割远离管道线圈的其余部分。

第3步
在水槽下，尽可能靠近热水阀操纵管道。为了连接，可能需要使用管弯曲弹簧，小水管工的工具that enables you to shape the tubing as needed. Secure the connection with a compression nut, which you’ll tighten with your hands before finishing off with the wrench.
Step 4
在洗碗机的底部看，以定位供水和电缆的通道均致力于运行。测量它们的位置相对于洗碗机的侧面，然后将这些测量值转移到机柜的地板上。现在使用管弯曲弹簧塑造铜管，使其沿着机柜的一侧行进，然后沿着所标记在机柜的地板上的供电线路运行。为电缆做同样的操作。
Step 5
Your new dishwasher will have come with its own drain hose. Assuming you’ve removed the drain hose for the old dishwasher, go ahead and run the new one from the dishwasher cabinet through the existing hole and to the area under the sink. As you do so, be careful not to let any kinks interrupt the hose. In a later step, you will connect the hose to the dishwasher and the sink drain.

Step 6
征求另一个人，帮助您缓解洗碗机的背部。从那里，您可以更轻松地拆下设备底部的面板盖，并进入进水口，洁净水将进入装置。将Teflon磁带缠绕在入口的螺纹周围，并使用可调扳手连接3/8英寸或1/2英寸黄铜弯头，具体取决于您的设备。现在，使用弯管弹簧，转动柔性铜供应管线，使其符合您添加的黄铜弯头。如果两个相遇，铜必须在没有任何弯曲的情况下运行至少两英寸。通过将压缩装配在铜的直线运行上，固定管道和弯管之间的连接。用手拧紧压缩螺母，然后用可调节的扳手伸出一圈。
Step 7
Turn your attention to the electrical cable (which may be left over from the old dishwasher hookup). Slide a cable clamp over the exposed wires, right where the wires disappear into the plastic or metal sheathing around the wire bundle. Then locate the junction box and remove its cover plate. Loosen the nut on the cable clamp and push the wires (along with the threaded end of the clamp) through the junction box’s hole. Once you have finished, use a screwdriver to tighten the nut again on the part of the clamp that remains outside the box.
Step 8
Inside the junction box, use wire nuts to join the identically colored wires, white to white and black to black. If the wires coming from your home are sheathed in plastic (such as Romex), then be sure to connect—by means of another wire nut—the green wire (the ground) to the dishwasher’s green (or bare copper) wire. Otherwise, wrap the the dishwasher’s ground wire around a mounting screw on the junction box, then fasten the screw so that the ground doesn’t budge. Finally, fold all the wires into the junction box before screwing the cover plate back onto the receptacle.

Step 9
Back in Step 5, you ran the drain hose from the dishwasher cabinet to the sink drain. Now it’s time to make the necessary connections. First, slip a hose clamp over the “sink side” of the hose, then fit the hose over the inlet on the sink drain. With plumber’s strapping, secure the hose against the top of the sink cabinet (or high on its rear side), so the hose arcs before it reaches the inlet. That U-shape is very important, because it prevents sink backflow from entering the洗碗机. Meanwhile, in the dishwasher cabinet, connect the other side of the hose to the dishwasher’s drain. This latter connection should be very quick and easy to make.

用洗碗机到位，调整其脚，直到安装支架与柜台的下侧相遇。拜托A.水平确保设备没有倾斜到任何一方;根据需要进行调整。现在使用钻孔/驾驶员通过安装支架驱动螺钉，将洗碗机牢固地固定在位置。在步骤6中替换您在单元的基础上的Access面板盖板。
第1步1
Turn on the water supply and return power to the circuit to which the dishwasher is connected. Don’t turn on the dishwasher yet; over the next few hours, keep a close eye out for leaks. If there aren’t any, take your new dishwasher out for its first test run!
