NOTE: This dishwasher is designed to be encbsed on the top and both sides by standard residentiN kitchen cabinetry,

Sebct a bcation as dose to the sink as possibb for easy access to water suppUyand drain Hnes,

For proper dishwasher operation and appearance, ensure that the encbsure is square and has the dimensions shown in Figure 2,

if the dishwasher is to be installed in a corner, make sure that there is adequate clearance to open the door, as

shown in Figure 8, letterA,

,_ WARNmNG: ELECTRICAL SHOCK/FIRE

HAZARD - Do not allow the e_ectricN and water supply Hnee to touch. Separate

channels are provided under the dishwasher (see page 10).

if the enclosure requires openings for the electrical supply cable, hot water supply line, and dishwasher drain hose,

,_ WARNmNG: ELECTRICAL SHOCK

HAZARD - Working on an energized circuit could recur in serious injury or death. Only qualified electricians should perform electrb cal work. Do not attempt any work on the dishwasher electric supply circuit until you are certain the circuit is de-energized.

,_ WARNING: FiRE HAZARD - improper emectrical work can cause fire. Only qualified e_ectricians should perform e_ectrica_ work.

ElectricaJ 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, if the dishwasher is connected with a food disposer, a 20 amp (and no higher) fuse orcircuit breaker

may be used, Electrical supply conductors shall be a

minimum #14 AWG copper wire,

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 5, letter A, Extend the cable 30" (762mm) from the enclosure's back, as shown in Figure 5, letter B,

PLUMBING PREPARATmON

WARNmNG: SCALD HAZARD -

Serious injury could result if work is performed on a charged hot water Hne. Only qualified p_umbers should perform p_umbing work. Do not attempt any work on

the dishwasher hot water supply p_umbing

unti_ 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 ram) away from the dishwasher's base and water inlet valve.

Hot Water Supply The hot water heater shouUdbe set to deliver approximateUy

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 PJumbing

Install an easily accessible shut-off valve (not supplied) in the hot water supply line, as shown in Figure 7, letter B,

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 (following the guidelines on page 8),

position the line 14" (355mm) from the enclosure's left side, as shown in Figure 7, letter A,

NOTE: Decide whether braided hose or copper tubing wiii

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

Drain PJumbing Dishwasher Connection Piece

If the dishwasher is to drain either directly into the house° hold drain plumbing or through an air gap, install a dish- washer connection piece under the sink, as shown in

Figure 8, letter A, Installing an Air Gap

If local ordinances require an air gap, as shown in Figure 9, letter B, install it according to the manufacturer's instruc-

tions,

Disposer

If a disposer is to be installed, as shown in Figure 10, letter C, install it according to the manufacturer's instructions, Whether the disposer is newly installed or existing, remove the disposer's dishwasher drain connection plug,

DISHWASHER PREPARATmON

Dishwasher preparation involves four tasks: o Installing the Mounting Brackets o Removing the Toe Panel o Installing the 90° elbow fitting

Junction Box Preparation

Figure 10

lnstaHing the Mounting Brackets

CAUTION: Before installing the supplied mounting

brackets (letter E in the Materials Supplied section of this manual), 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 11, letterA, 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, letter B, 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,

PLACmNG 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, letter A,

3) Place the dishwasher directly in front of the enclosure,

4) Perform a level check as shown in Figure 19, Adjust the rear leveler by turning the center screw at the front of the

dishwasher, as shown in Figure 20, letter B, Turning the screw clockwise raises the rear of the dishwasher, Adjust the front levelers by turning them with a screwdriver, as shown in Figure 20, letter C, Turning the levelers to the

right raises the dishwasher, if additional height is needed,

shims may be added under the leveler feet,

5) Push the dishwasher into the enclosure,

The dishwasher drain hose may be connected to the drain plumbing in one of four ways:

1) Directly to the undersink dishwasher drain connection,

as shown in Figure 22,

2) Directly to a disposer dishwasher drain connection, as shown in Figure 28,

3) To the undersink dishwasher drain connection through an air gap, as shown in Figure 24,

4) To a disposer dishwasher drain connection through an air gap, as shown on Figure 25,

NOTE: if the dishwasher drain hose is to be connected to a

disposer dishwasher drain connection, remove the plug from the disposer's dishwasher drain connection,

Use the supplied Rubber Connection Hose and Drain Hose Clamps (letter G in the Materials Supplied section of this manual) to connect the dishwasher drain hose to the plumbing drain connection, Use the spring clamp to secure

the Rubber Connection Hose to the dishwasher drain hose,

Use the screw clamp to secure the Rubber Connection

Hose to the plumbing drain connection,

if the dishwasher drain hose is connected directly to either an undersink dishwasher drain connection, as shown in

Figure 22, or to adisposer dishwasher drain connection, as shown in Figure 23, form a curve in the dishwasher drain hose and secure a portion of the curve at bast 20" (508mm) above the cabinet floor,
