supplied screws for mounting the wood panel,

The EIDW6405HT can be installed with a fully integrated, buyer

supplied custom door panel.

The custom panel should be 1/2to 3/4" (19mm) thick.

Items provided with the unit:

Six 1_/8"screws for moun0ng the custom wooden panel to the

the door to make sure it stays in place at any angle. Ifit tends
to fall down, pull out the machine and adjust the tension of the
door springs on the sides of the machine by moving them one
hole farther back.

Locating the Connections

1. Review dimensions inFigure 2 to locate dishwasher's drain,
water, and electrical connections.

2, All utilities must be routed in shaded area in the Figure 2.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect power before starting installation.
Note: Locate the electrical supply and dishwasher's electrical

junction box on right underside of unit behind kickplate

assembly. See Figure 5. Determine where you will connect
to hotwater supply. Review Figure 5 and note the location of
water inlet valve. Determine where you will connect the drain

hose.

3. CutaccesshoiesfortheEiectdcaI, WaterandDrainhosesintbe
shaded areas as shown in Figure 2,

4. The dishwasher operates on a 120 volt, 60 Hz electrical supply.
Provide a separate circuit with a fuse or circuit breaker rated for
at least 15 amps (20 amps if connected with disposer) but not
more than 20 amps.

5. PUll electrical cable through hole into installation area.

6. Be sure water inlet valve is protected from freezing. If valve

freezes and ruptures, flooding may occur.

7. Determine amot.mt of tubing needed to connect hot water supply

to the uniPs water inlet valve. Extra hose length is necessary.

High-pressure and high-temperature Stainless Flexible hose with
a minimum inner diameter of '/g' may be used. A shut-off valve
inWalled outside dishwasher cabinet is best.

8, Route water supply line intoinstalia6on area.

9. Stand dishwasher back updght for further instaliaOon.

IMPORTANT: Incoming hot water temperature should be at
