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 evi- dence 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.

Removing any cover or pulling the dishwasher from the 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 electri-

cians 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.

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 only wire rated at 75°C (167°F) or higher.

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 appliance. Do not use extension cords.

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.

Before connecting the water supply line to the dishwasher, 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.

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.

minal 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.

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.

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 ram) 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 connections must be made before the water line isconnected

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//' (76 x 45ram) opening through the cabinet to pass the dish-

washer water supply line through toward the shut off valve.

Figure 8

To connect the hot water supply:

1. Assemble the water supply adaptor fitting (Part F) from the parts bag onto the dishwasher water supply hose. This connection does not require Teflon brand tape.

2. Pass the dishwasher water supply line with attached adaptor through the opening toward the water shut off

valve. Take care not to allow the hose to kink or twist

behind the dishwasher.

3. Connect the dishwasher water supply line with adaptor to the water shut off valve. You will need to use an approved dishwasher water supply line with the correct fittings for this connection. Always use the appropriate seal when

making plumbing connections.

NOTE: The end of the dishwasher water inlet hose is heavy and will need to be supported. It is best to lay the

end on the cabinet floor as shown in Figure 8.

4. After all connections are made, turn on the hot water and check for leaks.

iMPORTANT NOTES:

If local ordinance require an air gap, install it according

to the manufacturer's instructions.

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. The dishwasher drain hose must have one place along its length that is securely attached 20" (508mm) above

the cabinet floor. The drain hose length can be extended if necessary. The

maximum length of the drain hose, including the hose leading to the air gap, is 150" (3800mm).
