IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Failure to meet codes and ordinances could lead to fire or electrical shock.

Proper installation is your responsibility.

Grounded electrical supply required

Contact a qualified installer to ensure that the dishwasher is installed to meet all electrical and plumbing national and local codes and ordinances.

Install the dishwasher as specified in these instructions.

Have everything you need to properly install dishwasher.

Keep water lines leading to the dishwasher from freezing to avoid damage to the dishwasher. Damage from freezing is not covered by the warranty.

This dishwasher is manufactured for indoor use only.

Do not run drain lines, water lines or electrical wiring where they can interfere with or contact the dishwasher motor or legs.

The location where the dishwasher will be installed must provide clearance between motor and flooring. Motor should not touch the floor.

Do not install dishwasher over carpeted flooring.

3

Minimum Clearances

Check location where the dishwasher will be installed. The location must provide:

Easy access to water, electricity and drain.

Convenient access for loading and unloading dishes. Corner locations require 2" (5.1 cm) minimum clearance between the side of the dishwasher door and the wall or cabinet.

A minimum of 25⁄" (65.1 cm) is required in front of the dishwasher to allow the door to open fully.

If the dishwasher will be left unused for a period of time or in a location where it may be subject to freezing, have it winterized by authorized service personnel.

Electrical Requirements

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

For a grounded, cord-connected dishwasher:

The dishwasher must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. The dishwasher is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt whether the dishwasher is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the dishwasher; if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

For a permanently connected dishwasher:

The dishwasher must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipmentgrounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipmentgrounding terminal or lead on the dishwasher.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

It is the customer's responsibility:

To contact a qualified electrical installer.

To assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in conformance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 - latest edition, and all local codes and ordinances.

4

Requirements:

120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15or 20-amp fused electrical supply

Copper wire only, 2 wire with ground

Recommended:

Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker

Separate circuit

Direct Wire Connection

Use flexible, armored or nonmetalic sheathed, copper wire with grounding wire that meets the wiring requirements for your home and local codes and ordinances.

Use a UL-listed/CSA-approved conduit connector.

Power Supply Cord Connection

Use Power Supply Cord Kit (Part Number 4317824) marked for use with dishwashers. Kit contents include:

Voltex, Inc., UL-listed 16-gauge 3-wire power supply cord with a 3 prong grounding plug

Neer C-500 ⁄" strain relief

3 wire connectors

Grommet (Part Number 302797)

Follow the kit instructions for installing the power supply cord.

NOTE: Power supply cord must plug into a mating, grounded 3 prong outlet, located in the cabinet next to the dishwasher opening. Outlet must meet all local codes and ordinances.

IMPORTANT: If you plan to install a garbage disposal, an additional separate 120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15or 20-amp fused electrical supply is required.

Water Supply Requirements

A hot water line with 20-120 psi (138-862 kPa) water pressure.

120°F (49°C) water temperature at dishwasher.

³⁄" O.D. copper tubing with compression fitting or flexible braided water supply line.

NOTE: ½" minimum plastic tubing is not recommended.

90º elbow with ³⁄" N.P.T. external pipe threads on one end.

IMPORTANT: Do not solder within 6" (15.2 cm) from water inlet valve.

Drain Requirements

Use the new drain hose supplied with your dishwasher. NOTE: If a longer drain hose is required:

Use a new drain hose with maximum length of 12 ft (3.7 m) that meets all current AHAM/IAPMO test standards.

Use a new drain hose that is resistant to heat and detergent.

Use a new drain hose that fits the 1" (2.5 cm) drain connector on the dishwasher.

Connect drain hose to waste tee or disposal inlet above drain trap in house plumbing.

Connect drain hose to house plumbing 20" (50.8 cm) minimum above the floor.

NOTE: It is recommended that the drain hose either be looped up and securely fastened to the underside of the counter, or be connected to an air gap.

Use a drain air gap if the drain hose is connected to house plumbing lower than 20" (50.8 cm) above the subfloor or floor.

Drain Air Gap

Use ½" (1.3 cm) minimum I.D. drain line fittings.

If required, the drain air gap should be installed in accordance with the drain air gap installation instructions. When connecting the drain air gap, a rubber hose (not provided) will be needed to connect to the waste tee or disposer inlet.

NOTE: Do not connect drain lines from other devices to the dishwasher drain hose.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect electrical power at the fuse box or circuit breaker box before installing dishwasher.

Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.

1.Disconnect power.

2.Turn off water supply.

Prepare Cabinet Opening—

Existing Utility Hookups

Follow the steps in this section if you are installing the dishwasher in an existing cabinet opening with utility hookups.

1.Check that the water supply line reaches to the front left-hand side of the opening where the water connection will be made.

2.Check that the direct wire reaches to the front right-hand side of the opening where the electrical connection will be made.
