I did try asking this on another helpful forum that I'm a member of, but to date haven't had a reply, so though I would try here too. I'm eager to get this dne as it's the last piece of the puzzle in terms of the kitchen.
I've popped the dishwasher in place and it's working fine, just need to make it look fitted now. Hopefully my description will suffice but if I have to I'll pop a photo up.
I have a horseshoe shaped kitchen, on the right hand upright of the U, there is the sink and worktop, the bottom bar is the dishwasher and oven (the left hand upright is irrelevant, but it's fridge freezer and worktop). I had to put the dishwasher on the bottom bar because the blasted gas meter is to the left of the sink where I wanted to put it.
Anyhoo!
It's plumbed in, has electric supply, but just need to fit it in properly. The dishwasher came from ebay so I don't have fitting instructions but think I can work most of it out just need some advice as to the best way of doing it. I've bought some sticky back silver stuff to pop under the worktop though haven't done it yet as the dishwasher is currenty at its lowest setting. I presume the two screws and 2 adjustable legs at the front are there to lift it flush to the underside of the worktop, thereafter screw through the holes to fix it to the worktop and through the sides to the adjacent units?
The latter part of that paragraph is the bit I've got some difficulty with. The gap is for a 500 door (its a slimlime DW) and the dishwasher it self is something like 46cm across. So how do I pad those gaps out to give me sometihng to screw the DW to. I'm sure there's a straightforward answer (cut a fillet to pad it?)
One side of the gap is the corner post, the other is side of the oven. I can see how I would fix something to the reverse of the corner post (screw straight into the back of it), but can't immediately think of a means of fixing a fillet to the side of the oven. There is some melamine/chipboard to the side of the oven but it's not plainly obvious to me how to fit a fillet at 90 degrees to it (assuming that is how to do it). Maybe a batten to the reverse so it screws to the side of the oven housing and the back of the fillet?
Think that's about it, just wanted to know how you wuld go about it. I'm sure someone has come across this before, or maybe not - maybe my kitchen fitter has left me with a unique problem along with a worktop that itsn't quite level, doors that don't line up and a sink that isn't fitted correctly.
