Installation Requirements

Location Requirements

Do not run drain lines, water lines or electrical wiring where they can interfere with or contact dishwasher motor or legs.

The location where the dishwasher will be installed must provide clearance between motor and flooring. Motor should not touch the floor.

Do not install dishwasher over carpeted flooring. Protect dishwasher and water lines leading to dishwasher

against freezing. Damage from freezing is not covered by the warranty.

A side panel kit is available from your dealer for installing your dishwasher at the end of your cabinetry.

A moisture barrier accessory (Part No. 4396277) is available from your dealer for installing underneath the countertop, but is not required.

Check location where dishwasher will be installed. The location must provide:

• easy access to water, electricity and drain.

• 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.

• square opening for proper operation and appearance.

• cabinet front perpendicular to floor.

• level floor. (If floor at front of opening is not level with floor at rear of opening, shims may be needed to level dishwasher.)

NOTE:To prevent shifting during dishwasher operation, shims must be securely attached to the floor.

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 floor in the dishwasher opening is uneven (example: tile flooring only partway into opening) you will need to take special care in measuring dimensions and in leveling dishwasher.

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 12 feet (3.7 m) that meets all current AHAM/IAPMO test standards, is resistant to heat and detergent, and fits the 1" (2.5 cm) drain connector of the dishwasher.

• Connect drain hose to waste tee or disposer inlet above drain trap in house plumbing and 20" (50.8 cm) minimum above the floor. 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 20" (50.8 cm) above subfloor or floor.

• Use 1/2" minimum I.D. drain line fittings.

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 fitting or flexible stainless steel braided fill line (1/2" minimum plastic tubing is not recommended).

• A 90° elbow with 3/8" N.P.T. external pipe threads on one end.

Do not solder within 6" (15.2 cm) from water inlet valve.

Electrical Requirements

Contact a qualified electrician. Assure 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.

• Copper wire only.

We recommend:

• A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.

• A separate circuit.

If direct wiring dishwasher:

• Use flexible, 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-certified clamp connector to the house wiring junction box. If using conduit, use a U.L.-listed/CSA-certified conduit connector.

If connecting dishwasher with a power supply cord:

• Use Power Supply Cord Kit (Part No. 4317824) marked for use with dishwashers. Kit contents include:

– Volex, Inc., UL listed 16 gauge 3 wire power supply

cord with 3 prong grounded plug. – Neer C-500 7/8 inch strain relief. – 3 wire connectors. – Part No. 302797 grommet Follow the kit instructions for installing the power

WARNING

Tip Over Hazard

Do not use dishwasher until completely installed.

Do not push down on open door.

Doing so can result in serious injury or cuts.

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install dishwasher.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

8. Measure height of cabinet opening

from underside of countertop to floor where dishwasher will be installed (you need the lowest point). Check chart for that height opening. Put wheels in the required position.

9. Turn both front leveler legs to the same height.

If the minimum cutout height is less than 34" (86.4 cm), the rear wheels can be removed for additional clearance. This will allow the dishwasher to fit into a 33-7/8" (86 cm) high cutout, but the dishwasher will be more difficult to move into position. If the wheels are removed, protect the floor when moving the dishwasher.

If you have built-up floors

1. Measure height of opening

from underside of countertop to built-up floor. If the height is at least 33-3/4" (85.7 cm), the dishwasher will fit into the opening without modification to the countertop or flooring.

2. Put wheels in position 1 and turn the front leveler legs up all the way.

3. Add shims as needed in the area shown to bring dishwasher up to proper height.

NOTE: Shims must be securely attached to floor to prevent their movement when the dishwasher is operated.
