Note: Locate the electrical supply and dishwasher's electrical

junction box on right underside of unit behind kickplate
assembly• See Figure 4. Determine where you will connect
to hot water supply. Review Figure 4 and note the location of
water inlet valve• Determine where you will connect the drain
hose.

3. Cut access holes for the Electrical, Water and Drain hoses in the
cabinet within the shaded areas as shown in Figure 2.

4. The dishwasher operates on a 120 volt, 60 Hz electrical supply•

Dishwasher Anchoring

4. Choose one of the methods of attachment below to secure unit,
holes need to be pro-drilled using a _5 drill bit regardless of
the option chosen:

a. Side Mount Cabinet Clips (Preferred Method of attachment)
b. Top Mount Cabinet Clips (to be used when Side Mount

is not an available option)

scratch, bump or otherwise damage the console or tub.

To install the Side Mounting Clips.

Note: install Side Mount Brackets before unit is installed

into the cabinet, insert screws into the front holes of the

clips only. Use extreme caution when fixing the screws,
not to cratch dishwashers or kitchen cabinet•

(See image below)

(_ To install using Top Mount Cabinet Clips:

Depending on the depth of cabinet, the Top Mount
Clip have a break off point that can be removed if necessary.

NOTE: Install Top Mount Clips before unit is installed into the

cabinet. Screw clips firmly to top brace using screws
provided in the literature pack. (See image below)

5. Carefully place dishwasher inside cabinet area such that is
centered in opening. Use caution when moving dishwasher to
prevent damage to cabinet, dishwasher and floor.

Be sure the dishwasher is placed where the water inlet
valve will be kept from freezing. If the valve freezes, it may
rupture and flooding may occur.

Water Line

1. Flush water line before connecting it to water inlet valve to
prevent early clogging of filter screen. Place a bunched towel
over end of line to prevent splashing. Open water supply valve for
a few seconds and let water drain into a pan. Turn off water

supply at shut-off valve.

2. Route water line to water inlet valve as shown in Figure 4.

3. While firmly pulling water supply line into 90° elbow, tightly
connect water supply to water inlet valve. Supply line must be
free of kinks, scales, chips, and lubricants.

4. Turn on water supply and check for leaks.

Electrical Supply

1. Remove junction box cover and pull house wiring into junction
box. See Figure 9

2. Use a UL listed conduit connector (not included) at box to
stabilize wiring.

3. Connect incoming black lead to dishwasher's black lead,
incoming white lead to dishwasher's white lead and incoming
green lead to dishwasher's green lead with wire nuts. (See
Grounding Instruction Warning). Wire nuts must be tight.

The drain hose loop must be at least 32" (80 cm) high from the floor
to insure proper drainage.

2. If you connect to a sink drain, entry will need to be above trap.
A "Y" branch tailpiece and connector kit, not included, will make
this method easier and includes all needed fittings and instructions.
See Figure 12.

3. If you connect to a sink trap,local codes may require you to
install an air gap kit, (not included). The drain hose will be routed
from dishwasher to air gap inlet as shown in Figure 13 An air
gap kit is available from a plumbing supply store. (If the drain
hose is installed through the floor, an air gap is necessary).

4. If you connect to a disposer, the large end of drain hose will fit.
Figure 14 (a) The knock out plug must be removed from

inside disposer inlet before making the final fit to drain
hose. See Figure 14 (b).
