LIKEMOVING / JOURNAL02 — 148

Plan the removal, protect the appliance and agree who will reconnect it in the new kitchen.

01

Find out what is attached before booking collection

Send the model number and photos of the dishwasher in place. Show the baseboard, adjacent cupboards and decorative door if the appliance is integrated. A freestanding unit in Petah Tikva might be ready once the connections are dealt with, while an integrated unit going to Rehovot may need a separate removal appointment. Ask the person responsible for the appliance to check its manual and prepare it for transport, including the procedure for residual water and loose parts. Identify any fixed electrical or plumbing connection in advance and arrange a qualified person where needed. Tell the crew when the appliance will be available and how wide the route is from the kitchen to the vehicle.

02

Agree the transport position and the handover

Follow the transport position in the manual for the actual model and tell the crew before loading. Specify whether the kitchen front travels attached or separately according to the agreed removal plan. Identify hoses, fittings and any mounting kit so the installer can find them without opening unrelated boxes. Prepare the destination opening and verify its dimensions and connections with the installer before delivery. Check the housing, door and connectors for visible damage on arrival and keep the protection until the inspection is complete. Agree who will install and test the machine and check for leaks before using it. Ask for separate prices if removal, transport and installation are handled by different people.
