WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

To avoid electrical shock, do not work on an energized circuit. Doing so could result in serious injury or death. Only qualified electricians should perform electrical work. Do not attempt any work on the dishwasher electric supply circuit until you are certain the circuit is

de-energized.

WARNING

Fire Hazard

To avoid a fire hazard, make sure electrical work is properly installed. Only qualified electricians should perform electrical work.

Electrical Supply

The customer has the responsibility of ensuring that the dishwasher electrical installation is in compliance with all national and local 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 shall be a minimum #14 AWG copper wire rated at 75°C or higher.

Regardless of where the electrical supply cable enters the enclosure (following the guidelines on page 8), 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” (75mm - 100mm) of the cable’s outer casing, as shown in Figure 5, then remove 3/8” - 1/2” (9 - 13mm) of insulation from each wire, as shown in

WARNING

Scald Hazard

To avoid being scalded, 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.

CAUTION

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 mm) 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 bars).

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 braided hose line. 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” (355mm) from the enclosure’s left side, as shown in Figure 6.

NOTE: Decide whether braided hose 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

CAUTION

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:

1Top 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.

2Side 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 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.

WARNING

Tip Over Hazard

To avoid a 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 follow this warning can result in serious injury.

SHU Models - Accessory Panel Installation

If you have an SHU model and have ordered an accessory panel kit, install the panel prior to sliding the dishwasher into place. The panel dimensions are shown in Figure 15.

SHI Models - Panel Installation

SHI models come with additional mounting hardware and a template sheet with installation instructions. The stainless steel models of the SHI series also come with two extension pieces. The extension pieces are used to match the control panel height (Figure 16, “B” dimension) to the horizontal drawer line of the cabinets, and must be installed as shown in on the template sheet. The standard piece is used for drawer heights up to 6” (152mm); the long piece is used for drawer heights greater than 6” (152mm) but 6-7/16” (164mm) or less. If your drawers are taller than 6-7/16”, you can either slide the extension piece in as far as it will go, or remove it and fit the door panel directly below the control panel.

SHI/SHV Models - Panel Installation

SHV models come with additional mounting hardware and a template sheet that will show you how to mount the panel. One side of the template shows how to mount a one piece panel; the other side shows how to mount a two piece panel. Decide which type of installation you want before proceeding with the installation.
