This tutorial will lead you through all the fundamental actions, such as leveling and securing the dishwasher and connecting the required hoses. You’ll quickly be able to use your new appliance if you have the necessary supplies and a little perseverance.
To ensure a seamless and effective installation of your Hotpoint-Ariston dishwasher, let’s get into the specifics.
A Hotpoint-Ariston dishwasher is easy to install; just connect the water supply, lock down the drainage, and turn on the power. Before starting, make sure the dishwasher is level and stable for best results. You can quickly and easily set up your dishwasher and have it ready for use with the correct tools and instructions.

Prepare a place for the dishwasher
You must first consider the location of the dishwasher. The distance to the water supply and sewage system, the proximity to other household appliances, and the flooring’s condition should all be taken into account when choosing a location for the dishwasher. Let’s examine each point in isolation.
- Distance from utilities. There should be a separate outlet with a voltage of 220 V next to the place where the dishwasher is located. Using an extension cord is not allowed. The optimal length of the drain hose is 1.5 meters, the maximum is 2.5 meters, so the sewer pipe should be located at exactly this distance, no further. Otherwise, the load on the dishwasher pump will be increased, and the machine will fail faster.
- You should not install the dishwasher near heat sources. It is a bad idea to place the dishwasher near old-style electric stoves – their body gets very hot. Modern stoves practically do not heat up, so such a neighborhood is, in principle, acceptable.
- Avoid placing it next to an automatic machine, as the appliance body vibrates strongly during spinning, which can damage the dishwasher. If the washing machine is installed in a separate niche, then placing it next to the dishwasher is acceptable.
- It is better not to place the machine on the edge of the kitchen. Dishwashers are installed under the countertop, so you will need to figure out how to cover the side wall of the dishwasher body. And this is an additional expense.
- The floor under the dishwasher should be level and hard.
- If you purchase a built-in dishwasher, you should pay close attention to the dimensions of the body and the size of the niche in which you plan to install it.
The dishwasher should ideally be positioned to the left or right of the sink.
The machine will be close to utilities if it is installed next to the kitchen sink. Additionally, loading dishes into the appliance from the sink will be more convenient. As a result, it is advised to think about this placement option first.
What you need to prepare for installing a dishwasher?
The bare minimum of tools is required to connect the dishwasher. In other circumstances, they won’t be required at all, such as when a machine is already present and all the connections for utilities are set up.
You will require the following tools to install the machine and connect it to the water supply and sewerage:
- adjustable wrench;
- pliers;
- screwdriver;
- building level.
Additionally, you will need to buy consumables like:
- FUM tape;
- installation plumbing tape;
- siphon with a branch (if there is a "elbow" under the sink without a nipple), or a tee on the sewer pipe (when there is no point for connecting the drain hose);
- tee tap for water supply, 3/4 in diameter;
- flow mesh filter.
The dishwasher comes with the hoses for the inlet and drain. Verify that they are long enough to connect to the sewer and water supplies. The corrugation shouldn’t be "built up," as this could cause leaks. If the factory sleeve turned out to be too short, it is preferable to buy a new, longer one right away.
In the event that you must create a socket for the device, you will require:
- copper wire (three-core, 2.5 mm cross-section);
- socket with a moisture-proof cover;
- differential circuit breaker;
- voltage stabilizer.
You must be proficient in using an electrical network in order to create a socket. It is best to leave the situation in the hands of an expert if you lack experience. During the procedure, you will require a cable channel, an indicator-equipped screwdriver, nippers, and a hammer drill for chasing walls.
| Step | Description |
| 1. Prepare the area | Ensure the dishwasher fits in the designated space, with access to water, drain, and electricity. |
| 2. Connect the water supply | Attach the inlet hose to the cold water tap, and ensure it"s securely tightened. |
| 3. Attach the drain hose | Connect the drain hose to the sink drain or a dedicated drain pipe. |
| 4. Connect the power | Plug the dishwasher into a grounded electrical outlet. |
| 5. Level the dishwasher | Adjust the feet to ensure the dishwasher is level and stable. |
| 6. Test the installation | Run a test cycle to check for leaks and proper operation. |
As long as you pay close attention to the instructions, installing a Hotpoint-Ariston dishwasher is not difficult. Later problems can be avoided by making sure the machine is level and all connections are safe.
For a system to operate safely and effectively, small details like correct electrical and water connections must be paid attention to. Before starting your first wash cycle, make sure everything is in working order to prevent leaks or malfunctions.
You don’t need expert assistance to enjoy the convenience of a new dishwasher if you have the right tools and a little perseverance. Simply take your time and adhere to the manufacturer’s guidelines.
