"No, it shouldn't kink if fitted directly bit alternatively clip it to the wall or unit to stop the risk of linking"

"If fitted correctly it will not kink as long as it is clipped at regular intervals and supported not leaving a lot of excess being the machine that can kink when the machine is pushed back.
