3. Locate water inlet valve behind kickplate on bottom left underside
of unit.See Figure 4. The valve has a 3/8” NPT female fitting.
Remove Plug
4. Wrap 90° elbow (not included) with pipe thread tape (or apply
joint compound) and thread it into water inlet valve. When
tightened, elbow should point toward the left. To prevent bending
of bracket or breaking of valve, avoid overtightening.
See Figure 4.
Cabinet Preparation:
As a precaution, it is recommended, but not required that the
cabinets enclosing all sides of the dishwasher (including the
underside of the countertop) be sealed with an oil based paint
or moisture-proof polyurethane to prevent possible steam/
moisture damage.
Roughing In
Electric Shock Hazard
Observe all local codes and ordinances for
electrical and plumbing connections. All electrical
and plumbing work should be performed by
qualified persons. Failure to follow this warning
could result in death or serious injury.
1. Make sure your location has the correct drain, water, and
electrical outlets to make the connections.
under a cooktop range. Damage to tub or other components will
occur.
Do not install unit
3
IMPORTANT: For proper operation and appearance of unit,
cabinet opening should have dimensions as shown in Figure 2.
If unit is to be placed in a corner, there must be at least a 2-inch
side clearance to open door.
2.
Floor should be flat and free of any obstruction.
IMPORTANT: Drain, water, and electrical lines should be
roughed-in before going any further.
Electric Shock Hazard
Electrical, water, and drain lines must be confined
to shaded areas in Figure 2.
Electric conductors, water, and drain could be
damaged.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in
fire or electric shock.
NOTE: If dishwasher is installed at end of a cabinet, sides and
back must be fully enclosed.
NOTE: Cabinet Seal Kit (Kit # 154662101) . This kit provides a
seal between the unit and cabinets once installation is
complete. (The Installation Instructions are located in the Kit)
Connections For Electrical,

Water, and Drain
Locating the Connections
1. Review dimensions in Figure 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 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
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 amount of tubing needed to connect hot water supply
to the unit’s water inlet valve. Extra hose length is necessary.
High-pressure and high-temperature Stainless Flexible hose with
a minimum inner diameter of 1/4” may be used. A shut-off valve
installed outside dishwasher cabinet is best.
8. Route water supply line into installation area.
9. Stand dishwasher back upright for further installation.
IMPORTANT: Incoming hot water temperature should be at
least 120°F (49°C). Water pressure should be between
20–90 psi.
Property Damage
Do not use the furnished drain hose or a rubber garden hose
for the water supply line. Either of these hoses can burst.
Flooding may occur and cause property damage.
NOTE: Pull the hose from “End Storage Location” side.
See images below to connect the Drain Hose.
1. Take drain Hose out of dishwasher and find the end that
doesn’t have the black rubber material.
2. Use only the spring clamp that is provided in the accessory
kit, place spring clamp over one of the hoses. See Image
Below.
3. Take the plastic side of the drain hose and insert it into the
hose that is already attached to the dishwasher make sure
hose ends are flush against each other. See image below.
4. Secure the spring clamp 1/8” from large end of black hose to
the plastic side that was inserted for best sealing results.
See Image Below.

Grounding Instructions:
The dishwasher must be connected to a grounded metal,
permanent wiring system or an equipment-grounding
conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and
connected to the appliance’s equipment grounding terminal
or lead. It is the consumer’s responsibility to contact a
qualified installer to make sure the electrical installation
conforms with the National Electrical Code and local codes
and ordinances.
Do not connect the dishwasher to the power supply until the
appliance is permanently grounded.
All wiring connections must be enclosed in the junction box.
This unit has copper lead wires.
Joining aluminum building wire to stranded copper wire
should be done by a qualified electrician using materials
recognized by UL and local codes.
Do not use an extension cord. Such use can result in fire,
electrical shock, or other personal injury.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in death or
serious injury.

rounded. If cabinet wall is metal, cover all sharp edges with
electrical or duct tape to avoid cutting drain hose.
6. Move unit back in place while routing drain hose through access
hole. Use caution to prevent damage to the dishwasher, floor and
cabinets. IMPORTANT: Make sure there are no sharp bends
or kinks that might restrict drain flow.
7. Secure drain hose to sink drain, disposer, or separate trap with a
clamp. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to overtighten clamp or
you may damage end of hose. Do not connect hose to
horizontal pipe between sink drain and disposer.
8. Be sure unit does not rest on drain hose. It should be free of
electrical components and door springs. Do not cut corrugated
drain hose. Pull excess through cabinet and place under sink.
Make sure hose does not come in contact with any sharp edges.
