INSTAL,,,,L,,,,ATIONTIPS

Please read all safety instructions before installing your new Electrolux dishwasher.

Examine the dishwasher and locate the connections. See Locating the

Connections, page 9.

Locate the dishwasher where there is easy access to drain, water, and electrical lines. The best location is on either side of the kitchen sink for

access to existing plumbing and ease in loading dishes. See Making the

Connections, pages 9-11.

Electrical, water and drain connections are not the same for all age, brands or models of dishwasher. Check the location and length of home

utilities. See Making the Connections, pages 9-11.

A 15-20 amp, grounded 120 volt AC only electrical supply is required. See

Making the Connections, pages 9-11.

If the dishwasher drain hose will be connected to a food disposer for the

first time, remove knock out plug covering disposer inlet. See Making the

Connections, pages 9-11.

Kinked water and drain hoses can cause problems. See Finishing the

Connections, page 16.

Dishwasher need to be connected to a hot water supply with enough water pressure to ensure an adequate fill. See Making the Water Connection,

page 10.

Each home installation differs. You will need additional parts listed above to complete the installation. See Materials Needed for Installation, page 5.

Flush water line prior to making the final connection to prevent clogging of the inlet valve filter screen. See Finishing the Water Connection, page 16.

The dishwasher will look, sound and perform best when properly leveled.

See Leveling the Dishwasher, page 15.

Anchor the dishwasher to the countertop and adjacent cabinets. See

Securing the Dishwasher, page 19.

1. The dishwasher operates on a 120 Volt, 60 Hz electrical supply. Provide a separate circuit with fuse or circuit breaker rated for at least 15 amps (20

amps if connected with a disposer), but not more than 20 amps.

2. Note the location of the electrical supply and the dishwasher's electrical

junction box on the right hand underside of the unit. See Figure 2, page 9.

3. Cut the access hole in the shaded area shown in Figure I, page 7.

4. PuN the electrical cable through the hole into the installation area.

1. Determine where you connect to the hot water supply. Review Figure 2, page 9 and note the location of the water inlet valve.

Be sure water inlet is protected from freezing. If valve freezes and ruptures, flooding may occur.

Determine the amount of tubing needed to connect the hot water supply to the unit's water inlet valve. Copper tubing must have a minimum of 3/8" OD.

High-pressure and high-temperature rated plastic tubing with a minimum inner diameter of 1/4" may be used. A shut-off valve installed outside the

dishwasher cabinet is recommended. ,See Figure 3, page 11.
