Make sure you use the correct trim strip since there is a left and a right side strip. The flexible material should be facing forward (Figure B).

Installation Preparation

• Check with your plumbing supply sources for the proper hose and 90° elbow and necessary fittings for the water supply line. This material is not supplied and must be purchased separately.

If the water supply line is to be copper tubing, make certain that the elbow has a compression fitting. Apply Teflon tape or other pipe sealant when required. Orient the water supply connection downwards as shown in the figure so the water line can be easily pulled underneath or on the side of the dishwasher.

• Install an easily accessible shut-off valve (not supplied) in the water supply line. All solder connections must be made before the water line is connected to the dishwasher’s water inlet valve. Water can also be supplied to the dishwasher by using a flexible braided hose line.

Preparing the Water Connection (A)

Installing the 90° Elbow Fitting (B)

WARNING

Installation should be performed by a qualified installer. Work by unqualified persons could be dangerous and may void the warranty.

If the dishwasher is installed in a location that experiences freezing temperatures (e.g. in a vacation home, cabin, etc.), you must drain all the water from the dishwasher’s interior. Water system ruptures that occur as a result of freezing are not covered by warranty.

CAUTION

Do not overtighten the 90° elbow. Doing so may damage the water inlet valve and cause a water leak.

Installation Preparation

The dishwasher drain hose may be connected to the drain plumbing in one of three ways, (Figures A, B, C):

Drain Preparation

NOTICE

You must add a loop at least 28” (71.1cm) above the floor of the cabinet and above the drain connection in the drain hose to prevent waste water from not draining properly and causing either poor washing results or a bad odor.

NOTICE

Check with local ordinance for type of air gap required.

NOTICE

• Either one of the above methods must be used or the dishwasher will not operate properly.

• A hose that attaches to a sink spray can burst if it is installed on the same water line as the dishwasher. If your sink has one, it is recommended that the hose be disconnected and the hole plugged.

• The total length of the drain hose is 76-3/4” (1950mm). If a hose extension is required, a drainage hose of equal quality must be used.

• The maximum length must not exceed 157-1/2” (4000mm). Otherwise, the cleaning process is negatively influenced.

Under the Sink Drain

• Install a Y-branch tail

pipe (Figure A).

Disposal

• Remove the drain connection plug before attaching the drain hose from the dishwasher.

• Every disposal has a hook-up for a dishwasher; consult your disposer manual for correct connection (Figure C).

Installing an Air Gap

• If the local ordinance requires an air gap (Figure B).

Installation Preparation

Steam will form inside the dishwasher during operation. At the end of the cycle, when the dishwasher door is opened, it is required to use a steam protection foil to prevent any steam from collecting on the underside of the counter top.

Steam Protection Foil

CAUTION

Steam protection foil must be applied where the steam escapes when door is first opened. Failure to install the

steam protection foil during installation can lead to damage to to the cabinets and countertop.

Fitting the Protection Foil

• Before applying the steam protection foil to the underside of the countertop, clean the area with a damp cloth (as shown in Figure A). Once the area dries, apply the steam protection foil.

• The steam protection foil will be applied at the location where the hot steam escapes when you first open the door (as shown in Figure B).

Installation

Now place the dishwasher into the opening and get ready to connect all hoses and electrical connections.

Note that the marks on the

rubber connection hose should

be on the drain hose side.

Placement of Dishwasher into the Opening
