WARNING
Avoiding General Hazards 
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 cause the dishwasher to tip over and result in serious injury.
Before installing the “L”-shaped supplied countertop mounting brackets (select models), decide which method will be used to secure the dishwasher into its opening. Once these mounting brackets are installed on the dishwasher, removing them is difficult and will damage the mounting brackets and the dishwasher.
In some conditions, hydrogen gas can form in a hot water system that has not been used for weeks. Hydrogen gas is explosive.
Before filling a dishwasher from a system that has been off for weeks, run the water from a nearby faucet in a well ventilated area until there is no sound or evidence of gas.
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″ (152.4 mm) away from the dishwasher’s base and water inlet valve.
Removinganycoverorpullingthedishwasherfromthe cabinet can expose hot water connections, electrical power and sharp edges or points. Handle with care.
Avoiding Electrical Shock/Fire Hazards
Do not allow the electrical and water supply lines to touch. Separate channels are provided under the dishwasher.
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.
Make sure electrical work is properly installed. There should be no loose electrical connections. Ensure all electrical connections are properly made.
Thecustomerhastheresponsibilityofensuringthatthe 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 dishwasherdedicated, properly grounded electrical circuit with a fuse or breaker rated for 15 amps. Electrical supply conductors shall be a minimum #14 AWG copper only wire rated at 75°C (167°F) or higher.
Thisappliancemustbeconnectedtoagroundedmetal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the appliance. Do not use extension cords.
Avoiding Plumbing/Scalding Hazards
Do not perform any work on a charged hot water line. Seriousinjurycouldresult.Onlyqualifiedplumbershould 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.
Do not over tighten the 90° elbow. Doing so may damage the water inlet valve and cause a water leak.
Temperatures required for soldering and sweating will damage the dishwasher’s water inlet valve. If plumbing lines are to be soldered or sweated, keep the heat source at least 6″ (152.4 mm) away from the dishwasher’s water inlet valve.
Check local plumbing codes for approved plumbing procedures and accessories. All plumbing should be done in accordance with national and local codes.
These instructions depict an installation method for stainless steel braided hose or PEX hot water supply lines. If using copper tubing or other material for water supply, defer to a licensed plumber for proper installation.

NOTE: If your dishwasher opening width measures >18 in (458mm)usetheTOPORSIDEMOUNTmountingmethods. If your dishwasher opening width measures 177/10 - 18 in
(450 - 458 mm) use the ALTERNATE SIDE MOUNT mounting method.
If the dishwasher is to be installed in a corner, make sure that there is adequate clearance to open the door. See Figure 2 below.
After locating the proper place for your new dishwasher, you will need to create any required openings to allow for passage of the water, drain and electrical line. In order to avoidinterferencewiththedishwasherwhenslidingitintothe cabinet, place your openings within the dimensions shown in Figure 3 below.

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 (167°F) or higher.
Electrical Connection
The dishwasher electrical supply junction box (L) and dedicated receptacle must be mounted in an accessible
cabinetadjacenttothedishwasher(donotmountthejunction box or receptacle behind the dishwasher). You will need a 43/4″ x 23/8″ (120 x 60mm) opening through the cabinet in order to pass the junction box through (see Figure 5). If the openingismadethroughwood,sanditsmooth.Iftheopening is made through metal, use the included edge protector (G) or other approved method to protect wiring from damage. Use the four screws included (or appropriate fastener) in the parts bag to securely mount the junction box so that it can be easily accessed (see Figure 5).The electrical supply can be connected in two ways:

Grounding Instructions
The dishwasher must be properly grounded before operating. 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 connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the dishwasher. Make sure that the dishwasher is connected to a suitable ground in compliance with all local codes or, in the absence of a local code, with the NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE in the United States or the CANADIAN ELECTRIC CODE C22.1-latest edition in Canada as well as any provincial/state or municipal or local codes that apply.

3.Insert the bare copper or green wire(ground) to the “G” ground connection “ 
“ of the terminal block and securely tighten the terminal block screw (see
Figure 6).
4.Insert the white (neutral) wire to the “N” connection of the terminal block and securely tighten the terminal block screw.
5.Insert the black(hot) wire to the “L” connection of the terminal block and securely tighten the terminal block screw.
6.Check all electrical connections to make sure they are secure and then attach the junction box cover with the 4 screws.
WARNING
Avoid Electrical Shock Hazard
To avoid possible injury or property damage, care should be exercised when the dishwasher is installed or removed to reduce the likelihood of damage to the power cord.
Inlet Water Connections
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).
IMPORTANT NOTES:
·If using a solder joint instead of a compression fitting, be sure to make all solder connections before connecting the water supply line to the dishwasher.
·Make sure there are no sharp bends or kinks in the water line that might restrict water flow.
·Always use the appropriate seal when making plumbing connections.
·Beforeconnectingthewatersupplylinetothedishwasher, flush the incoming water line for approximately 5 minutes to clear any foreign material.
·Turn on the water supply and check for leaks after connections are made.
WARNING
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.
Temperatures required for soldering and sweating will damage the dishwasher. If plumbing lines are to be soldered or sweated, keep the heat source at least 6 inches (152.4 mm) away from the dishwasher.
Water Supply Shut Off Valve
Install an easily accessible shut-off valve (not supplied) in the hot water supply line, as shown in Figure 8. All solder connectionsmustbemadebeforethewaterlineisconnected to the dishwasher.
Connecting the Hot Water Supply
There are two plastic corrugated hoses that exit the back of the dishwasher. The larger hose, with the brass fitting on the end, is the water supply hose to the dishwasher (the other hose is the dishwasher drain hose). You will need a 3″ x 13/4″ (76 x 45mm) opening through the cabinet to pass the dishwasher water supply line through toward the shut off valve.
