Electrical Supply
The customer has the responsibility of ensuring that the
dishwasher electrical instal(ation is in compliance with
al( national and (ocal electrical codes and ordinances.
The dishwasher is designed for an electrical supply of
120V, 60 Hz, AC, connected to a dishwasher-dedicated,
properly grounded electrical circuit with a fuse or breaker
rated for 15 amps. Electrical supply conductors shal( be
a minimum #14 AWG copper wire rated at 75°C (167°F)
or higher.
Regardless of where the electrical supply cable enters
the enclosure, position the cable 21" (533mm) from the
enclosure's left side, as shown in Figure 4. Extend the
cable 30" (762mm) from the enclosure's back, as shown
in Figure 4.
Remove 3" - 4" (76mm - 102mm) of the cable's outer
casing, as shown in Figure 5, then remove 3/8"- 1/2"
(10 - 13mm) of insulation from each wire, as shown in
Figure 5.

PLUMBING PREPARATION
Avoid Scald Hazard
Do not perform any work on a charged hot water
line. Serious injury could result. Only qualified
plumbers should perform plumbing work. Do not
attempt any work on the dishwasher hot water

supply plumbing until you are certain the hot
water supply is shut off.
Figure 6
Temperatures required for soldering and
sweating will damage the dishwasher's base
and water inlet valve. If plumbing lines are to
be soldered or sweated, keep the heat source
at least 6 inches (152.4 ram) away from the
dishwasher's base and water inlet valve.
Hot Water Supply
The hot water heater should be set to deliver
approximately 120° F (49 ° C) water to the dishwasher.
Water that is too hot can cause some detergents to lose
effectiveness. Lower water temperatures will increase
run times. The hot water supply pressure must be
between 15 - 145 psi (1 - 10 bar).
Hot Water Supply Plumbing
Install an easily accessible shut-off valve (not supplied)
in the hot water supply line, as shown in Figure 6. All
solder connections must be made before the water
line is connected to the dishwasher's water inlet valve.
Water may also be supplied to the dishwasher by using
a stainless steel braided hose approved for dishwasher
use. Check with your local plumbing supply sources for
the proper hose and 90° elbow fitting.
NOTE: Regardless of where the hot water supply line
enters the enclosure, position the line 14" (356mm) from
the enclosure's left side, as shown in Figure 6.
NOTE: Decide whether stainless steel braided hose
approved for dishwasher use or copper tubing will be
used for the hot water supply plumbing, and purchase
the correct type of hot water supply shut-off valve, 90°
elbow, and necessary fittings for the hot water supply
plumbing.

DISHWASHER PREPARATION
Dishwasher preparation involves four tasks:
Installing the Mounting Brackets
Removing the Toe Panel
Installing the 90 ° elbow fitting
Junction Box Preparation
Installing the Countertop Mounting Brackets
Before installing the supplied countertop
mounting brackets, decide which method of
securing the dishwasher into its enclosure will be
used. Once the mounting brackets are installed
on the dishwasher, removing them is difficult
and will damage the mounting brackets and the
dishwasher.
The dishwasher can be secured into its enclosure in two
ways:
1 Top Mount is used for countertops made of wood
or other materials that can easily drilled. Orient the
mounting brackets as shown in Figure 10, and
position the two small tabs on the mounting brackets
over the two slots on the dishwasher's front corners.
Push the mounting brackets down firmly to insert the
tabs into the slots.
2 Side Mount is used for countertops made of marble,
granite, or other very hard materials that cannot be
easily drilled. Bend the mounting brackets along
the small holes and in the same direction as the
two small tabs. Orient the mounting brackets as
shown in Figure 11, and position the two small
tabs on the mounting brackets over the two slots on
the dishwasher's front corners. Push the mounting
brackets down firmly to insert the tabs into the slots.
Avoid Tip Over Hazard
Do not use the dishwasher until it is completely
installed. When opening the door on an
uninstalled dishwasher, carefully open the door
while supporting the rear of the unit. Failure to
\

DISHWASHER PREPARATION (continued)
When any covers are removed or the dishwasher
is out of the cabinet, electrical power and sharp
edges or points may be exposed.
Removing the Toe Panel
Your dishwasher will include either a Metal Toe Panel
or a Plastic Base Access Panel with a Metal Toe Panel
(model dependent),
Method A - Metal Toe Panel
The toe panel is loosely attached with tape. Remove the
tape and pull the toe panel away from the dishwasher.
Set the toe panel aside. It will be reinstalled later.
Method B - Plastic Base Access Panel with Metal Toe
Panel
The plastic base access panel and toe panel are in place
on the dishwasher, but are not attached. Remove the
toe panel first, as shown in Figure 12, then remove the
plastic base access panel, as shown in Figure 12.
Figure 13
Do not overtighten the 90 ° elbow. Doing so may
damage the water inlet valve and cause a water
leak.
Installing the 90 ° Elbow Fitting
NOTE: The 90° elbow fitting is not supplied with the
dishwasher, and must be purchased separately. If the
dishwasher's hot water supply line is to be copper tubing,
make certain the elbow has a compression fitting.
Apply Teflon tape or other pipe sealant when required.
Orient the hot water supply connection leg of the elbow
toward the channel opening in the dishwasher base. See
Figure 13.
Junction Box Preparation
1 Remove junction box cover (see Figure 14) by
lifting the junction box cover up and off.
2 Remove the strain relief plate by removing the
screw at the back of the junction box, as shown in
Figure 15 and sliding the strain relief plate out.
3 Set the junction box cover, strain relief plate, and
screw aside. They will be re-installed later.

thick) on your dishwasher. The panel dimensions are
shown in Figure 16. Install the panel before sliding the
dishwasher into place. Contact Customer Service to see
if a kit is available for your model and to obtain ordering
instructions.
Fully Integrated Models
Fully integrated models allow you to have a custom door
panel made to match your cabinetry. The custom door
can be a two-piece configuration to look like a drawer at
the top and a cabinet door at the bottom or like a single
full-length door. A template is included with the fully
integrated models to explain the mounting procedure.
NOTE: The door springs that are included with the Fully
Integrated units will provide proper function for custom
door panels weighing between 9 and 15 pounds. Custom
Door panels weighing up to 18 pounds require the use of
the Tension Adjustment Screws (See page 14 for details
on the proper use of the Tension Adjustment Screws).

PLACING THE DISHWASHER
1 Straighten and position the hot water supply line and
the electrical supply cable as shown in Figure 18 so
that they will align with their channels under the
dishwasher base.
2 Position the dishwasher close enough to the
enclosure so that you can run the dishwasher drain
hose to the under sink drain connection. Make certain
that the hot water supply line and the electrical supply
cable are in their channels under the dishwasher
base, as shown in Figure 19.
3 Slide the dishwasher into the opening making sure
that the hot water supply line and the electrical supply
cable stay in their proper channels.
4 Make sure the dishwasher is level. Adjust the rear
leveler by turning the center screw at the front of the
dishwasher, as shown in Figure 20a. Turning the
screw clockwise raises the rear of the dishwasher.
Adjust the front levelers by turning them with a
screwdriver, as shown in Figure 20b. Turning the
levelers to the right raises the dishwasher. If additional
height is needed, shims may be added under the
leveler feet.
