Unpacking

Unpack the dishwasher in an open area free of obstruction. We recommend keeping all the packing materials until the dishwasher is completely installed.

Installation

1. Position the carton right-side-up with

the top arrows pointing upwards.

2. Unbuckle or cut the straps securing the

packaging.

3. Unpack the product packaging with

care.

4. Inspect every component for any signs

of damage.

5. Locate and set aside the dishwasher's

kick plate. The kick plate is attached beside of the dishwasher.

6. Lift the dishwasher from the packing

material, and then place it on the oor.

NOTE

• There are also packing materials inside the dishwasher. Leave them in place until the dishwasher is installed.

• Do not remove the sound-absorbent padding that surrounds the exterior of the dishwasher.

Installation requirements

To prevent a risk of re, electric shock, or personal injury, all wiring and grounding must be done by a qualied technician.

Power supply

• To prevent the risk of re, electric shock, or personal injury, all wiring and grounding must be performed in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/FNPA, No. 70 Latest Revision and local codes and ordinances. It is the personal responsibility of the appliance owner to provide adequate electrical service for this appliance.

• When preparing for installation, make sure that your power supply provides an individual 120 Volt, 60 Hz branch circuit serving only your dishwasher with a 15 AMP fuse or circuit breaker.

• Your dishwasher must be grounded. If your dishwasher malfunctions or breaks down, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric current.

WARNING

• Do not use an extension cord.

• Use only the power plug that comes with the dishwasher.

Grounding

For permanent grounding, the dishwasher must be properly grounded to a grounded metal or permanent wiring system. The grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and then connected to the grounding terminal or lead on the dishwasher.

WARNING

• Do not connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing, gas lines, or hot water pipes. Improperly connected grounding conductors may cause electric shock.

• Do not modify the power plug of the dishwasher. If the power plug does not t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician.

Flooring

For safety, the dishwasher must be installed on a solidly constructed oor. Wooden oors may need to be reinforced to minimize vibrations. Avoid installing on carpet or soft tile. Carpeting and soft tile may cause vibrations and may cause your dishwasher to move slightly while operating.

WARNING

Do not install the dishwasher on a poorly supported structure.

Step-by-step installation

The installation procedure may differ depending on the model.

STEP 1 Select a location

Select a location that meets the following conditions.

• The location must have a solid oor that can support the weight of the dishwasher.

•

The location must be near a sink (9.8 ft/3 m) with easy access to the water supply, drain system, and electrical outlet.

•

The location must let you load dishes into the dishwasher easily.

•

The location must have sufcient space for the dishwasher door to open easily and provide enough space between the dishwasher and the cabinet sides (at least

0.1 inch/2 mm).

•

The rear wall must be free of obstructions.

Installation in a new location

If you install the dishwasher in a new location, follow these instructions before installing the dishwasher.

1. Using a hole saw, cut a hole into the side

of the cabinet that holds the sink (A).

2. If the base inside the sink cabinet is raised

above the kitchen oor and is higher than the connections on the dishwasher, make a hole in the base inside the cabinet and in the cabinet side (B)

Installation

NOTE

• If you are replacing an old dishwasher, check the existing connections for compatibility with the new dishwasher and replace the connections as needed.

•

You may need to cut a hole in the opposite side of the cabinet according to the location of the electrical outlet.

dishwasher is operating. Make sure to check for water leaks on both ends of the water line and the drain hose connector.

7. Check if the kick plate gasket is attached to the bottom of the kick plate. To install the

kick plate, see the Kick plate section below.

To x leaks

You may encounter leaks during the nal check. If this is the case, follow these instructions.

1. If an information code of LC appears

on the control panel, press and hold

START for more than 3 seconds to

1. Turn the front legs of the dishwasher to

adjust the height so that the kick plate ts in.

NOTE

• For dishwasher models without the adjustable legs, turn the kick plate upside down so that the kick plate ts in.

• Dishwashers whose height is under 34" (864 mm) do not support installation of the kick plate. Use the furniture plate instead.
