INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Location Requirements:
• Do not run drain lines, water lines or electrical wiring where they can interfere with or contact dishwasher motors or
legs.
• The location where the dishwasher will be installed must provide clearance between motors and fl ooring. Motors
should not touch the fl oor.
• Do not install dishwasher over carpeted fl ooring. Protect dishwasher and water lines leading to dishwasher against
freezing. Damage from freezing is not covered by the warranty.
Check location where dishwasher will be installed. The location must provide:
1. Easy access to water, electricity and drain.
2. Convenient access for loading and unloading dishes. Corner locations require a 2” (5.1 cm) minimum clearance between the side of the dishwasher door and the wall or cabinet.
3. There must be a minimum of 25-5/8” (65.1 cm) in front of dishwasher to allow door to open fully.

4. Square opening for proper operation and appearance.
5. Cabinet front perpendicular to fl oor.
6. Level fl oor. (If fl oor at front of opening is not level with fl oor at rear of opening, shims may be needed to level dish-
washer.) NOTE: To prevent shifting during dishwasher operation, shims must be securely attached to the
fl oor.
If dishwasher will be left unused for a period of time or in a location where it may be subject to freezing, have it winterized
by authorized service personnel.
Make sure pipes, wires and drain hose are within the shaded area shown in the “Cutout dimensions” section.
Helpful Tip: If the fl oor in the dishwasher opening is uneven (example: tile fl ooring only partway into opening)
you will need to take special care in measuring dimensions and in leveling dishwasher.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Drain Requirements:
• Use the new drain hose supplied with your dishwasher. If this is not long
enough, use a new drain hose with a maximum length of 10 feet (3.05 m)
that meets all current AHAM/IAPMO test standards, is resistant to heat and
detergent, use 5/8”(1.58cm) or 7/8”(2.2cm) inside diameter hose and a coupler to connect the two hose ends. Secure the connection with two clamps
• Connect drain hose to waste tee or disposer inlet above drain trap in house
plumbing and 32” (81.3 cm) minimum above the fl oor. It is recommended that
the drain hose either be looped up and securely fastened to the underside of
the counter, or be connected to an air gap.
• Use an air gap if the drain hose is connected to house plumbing lower than
18” (45.7 cm) above fl oor.
• Use 1/2” minimum I.D. drain line fi ttings.
• Do not connect drain lines from other devices to the dishwasher drain hose.
Water Supply Requirements:
• A hot water line with 20-120 psi (138-862 kPa) water pressure.
• 120°F (49°C) water at dishwasher.
• 3/8” O.D. copper tubing with compression fi tting or fl exible stainless steel braided fi ll line (1/2” minimum plastic tubing
is not recommended).
• A 90° elbow with 3/8” N.P.T. external pipe threads on one end.
Air Gap
NOTE: Do not solder within 6” (15.2 cm) from water inlet valve.
Electrical Requirements:
Contact a qualifi ed electrician.
Ensure that the electrical installation is adequate and in conformance with all national and local codes and ordinances.
You must have:
• 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15 or 20 amp., fused electrical supply.
• Wiring must be 2 wire with ground.
We recommend:
• A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.
• A separate circuit.
If direct wiring dishwasher:
• Use fl exible, armored or non-metallic sheathed, copper wire with grounding wire that meets the wiring requirements
for your home and local codes and ordinances.
• Use strain relief method provided with house wiring junction box or install a U.L.-listed/CSA-certifi ed clamp connector
to the house wiring junction box. If using conduit, use a U.L.-listed/CSA-certifi ed conduit connector.
If connecting dishwasher with a power supply cord
• Use only a Power Supply Cord Kit marked for use with dishwashers.
• Power supply cord must plug into a mating three prong, grounded outlet, located in the cabinet next to the dishwasher
opening. Outlet must meet all local codes and ordinances.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
Electrical Shock Hazard
• Disconnect electrical power at the fuse box or
circuit breaker box before installing dishwasher.
• Failure to do so can result in death or electrical
shock.
IMPORTANT: DISCONNECT POWER AND TURN OFF WATER SUPPLY.
Prepare Cabinet Opening Using Existing Utility Hookups:
• Follow the steps in this section if you are installing the dishwasher in an
existing cabinet opening with utility hookups.
• If you are installing the dishwasher in a cabinet opening that does not have
hookups, follow the steps under “Prepare cabinet opening where there are
no existing utility hookups” section.
1. Check that the water line reaches to the front left of opening where the
water connection will be made.
2. Check that the direct wire reaches to the front right of opening where the
electrical connection will be made.

If the water line and the direct wire reach far enough into the opening, proceed
to the next section “Install the drain hose.“ If they do not reach far enough,
follow the steps under “Prepare cabinet opening where there are no existing
utility hookups.”
Install the Drain Hose:
IMPORTANT: Always use a new drain hose even when installing a new
replacement dishwasher.
1. Drill a 1-1/2” (3.8 cm) diameter hole in cabinet wall or fl oor on the side of
the opening closest to the sink.
2. Connect drain hose to waste tee or waste disposer using one of the following methods:
• Option 1, Waste disposer – with air gap
• Option 2, No waste disposer – with air gap
• Option 3, Waste disposer – no air gap*
• Option 4, No waste disposer – no air gap*
*an air gap is recommended
Helpful Tip: To reduce the vibration of the hose, keep the hose away from the
fl oor and the edge of the hole where it passes through the cabinet.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare Cabinet Opening Where There are no Existing Utility Hookups
Electrical Connection:
Option 1 - Direct Wire Method:
Helpful Tip: Wiring the dishwasher will be easier if you route wire into the
cabinet opening from the right side.
1. Drill a 3/4” (1.9 cm) hole in right-hand cabinet side, rear or fl oor. Preferred and
optional locations are shown.
2. Wood cabinet: Sand hole until smooth. Metal cabinet: Cover hole with grommet, not provided.
3. Run wire into house wiring junction box.
4. Install a UL listed/CSA certifi ed clamp connector (strain relief) for fl exible-type
wire. If installing conduit, attach a UL listed/CSA certifi ed conduit connector to
the junction box.
5. Run other end of wire through cabinet hole. Cable must extend to the right
front of cabinet opening.
Option 2 - Power Supply Cord Method:
NOTE: A mating, three prong, ground-type wall receptacle is required in a
cabinet next to the dishwasher opening.

Install the Water Line:
Helpful Tip: Routing the water line through the left side of
cabinet opening will make water connection easier.
1. Drill a minimum 1/2” (1.3 cm) hole in the cabinet side, rear
or fl oor. Preferred and optional locations are shown.
2. Measure overall length of copper tubing required.
3. Attach copper tubing to the water line with a manual shutoff
valve.
4. Slowly feed copper tubing through hole in cabinet. Copper
tubing will bend and kink easily, so be gentle. The copper
tubing should be far enough into the cabinet opening to
connect it to dishwasher inlet on the front left of the dishwasher.
5. Turn water shutoff valve to “ON” position. Flush water into
a shallow pan to get rid of particles that may clog the inlet
valve.
6. Turn shutoff valve to “OFF” position.
