Installation Preparation
U The dishwasher must be installed so that drain hose is
no more than 10 feet in length for proper drainage.
U The dishwasher must be fully enclosed on the top,
sides and back, and must not support any part of the
enclosure.
U
The rough cabinet opening must be at least 24" deep.
The opening should be 35" max. height.
DRAIN REQUIREMENTS
U Follow local codes and ordinances.
U Do not exceed 10 feet distance to drain.
U Do not connect drain lines from other devices
to the dishwasher drain hose.
U Dishwasher must be connected to waste line with an
air gap (not supplied) or 32" minimum high drain loop,
depending on local codes and ordinances to prevent
back fl ow into the dishwasher.
U Air gap must be used if waste tee or disposer connection
is less than 18" above the fl oor to prevent siphoning.
DRAIN PREPARATION
The type of drain installation depends on answers to
the following questions:
Do local codes or ordinances require an air gap?
Will waste tee or disposer connection be less than
18" above the fl oor?
Will installation have a drain loop less than 32"
above fl oor?
If the answer to ANY of the 3 questions above is YES,
Method 1 MUST be used. Otherwise either Method 1
or Method 2 may be used. Figure C or Figure D.
CLEARANCES: When
installed into a corner,
allow 2" min. clearance
between dishwasher and
adjacent cabinet, wall or
other appliances. Allow
25-5/8" min. clearance
from the front of the dishwasher for door opening.

PREPARE ELECTRICAL WIRING
WARNING
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY: Remove house
fuse or open circuit breaker before
beginning installation. Do not use an
extension cord or adapter plug with this
appliance.
Electrical Requirements
• This appliance must be supplied with 120V, 60 Hz., and
connected to an individual properly grounded branch
circuit, protected by a 15 or 20 ampere circuit breaker
or time delay fuse.
• Wiring must be 2 wire with ground.
• If the electrical supply does not meet the above
requirements, call a licensed electrician before
proceeding.
Grounding Instructions – Cable Direct
This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal,
permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding
conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and
be connected to the equipment grounding terminal or
lead on the appliance.
Grounding Instructions – Power Cord Models
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of
electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance
for electric current. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is installed
and grounded in accordance with local codes and
ordinances.
WARNING
The improper connection of the
equipment grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualifi ed electrician or service
representative if you are in doubt that
the appliance is properly grounded.

Cabinet Preparation & Wire Routing
• The wiring may enter the opening from either side,
rear or the fl oor within the shaded area.
• Cut a 1-1/2" max. dia. hole to admit the electrical cable.
The hole must be free of sharp edges. If the cabinet
wall is metal, the hole edge must be covered with a
bushing.
• Cable direct connections may pass through the same
hole as the drain hose and hot water line, if convenient.
If cabinet wall is metal, the hole edge must be covered
with a bushing. NOTE: Power cords with plug must
pass through a separate hole.
Electrical Connection to Dishwasher
Electrical connection is on the right front of dishwasher.
• For cable direct connections the cable must be routed
as shown in Figure E. Cable must extend a minimum of
24" from the rear wall.
• For power cord connections, install a 3-prong grounding
type receptacle. The power-supply receptacle for the
appliance shall be installed in a cabinet or on a wall
adjacent to the undercounter space in which the
appliance is to be installed.

STEP 15 PRE-TEST CHECKLIST
Review this list after installing your dishwasher to
avoid charges for a service call that is not covered
by your warranty.
Check to be sure power is OFF.
Open door and remove all foam and paper packaging.
Locate the Owner’ s Manual in the literature package.
Read the Owner’s Manual for operating instructions.
Check door opening and closing. If door does not
open and close freely or tends to fall, check spring
adjustments. See Step 1.
Check to be sure that wiring is secure under the
dishwasher, not pinched or in contact with door
springs or other components. See Step 9.
Check door alignment with tub. If door hits tub,
level dishwasher. See Step 10.
Pull lower rack out, about half way. Check to be
sure it does not roll back or forward on the door.
If the rack moves, adjust leveling legs. See Step 10.
Check door alignment with cabinet. If door hits cab-
inet, reposition or relevel dishwasher. See Step 10.
Verify water supply and drain lines are not kinked
or in contact with other components. Contact with
motor or dishwasher frame could cause noise. See
Step 8.
Turn on the sink hot water faucet and verify water
temperature. Incoming water temperature must be
between 120°F and 150°F. A minimum of 120°F temperature is required for best wash performance.
See “Prepare Hot Water Line,” page 5.
Add 2 litres of water to the bottom of the dish-
washer to lubricate the pump seal.
Turn on water supply. Check for leaks. Tighten con-
nections if needed.
Remove protective fi lm if present from the control
panel and door.
