Before Y ou Begin

Read all instructions before installing dishwasher.

For your safety, please read and observe all safety instructions. This guide will help you anticipate drain, water, and

electrical connections, and help you select the best location for the dishwasher.

Tip Over Hazard

Do not use dishwasher until completely installed. Do not push down on open door. Failure to follow this warning can result in serious

injury.

Installation T ips

Electric Shock Hazard

Disconnect electrical power at the fuse box or circuit breaker box before beginning installation. Failure to follow this warning could result in death or serious injury.

• Examine dishwasher and locate connections.

• Locate 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.

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

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

• If dishwasher drain hose will be connected to a food disposer for the first time, knock out plug located inside disposer inlet.

• Kinked water or drain hoses can cause problems.

• Dishwashers need to be connected to a hot water supply with enough water pressure to insure an adequate fill.

See Steps 4 and 7.

• Each home installation differs. You will need additional parts listed above to complete your installation.

See Steps 4 and 7.

• Flush water line prior to making the final connection to prevent clogging of dishwasher’s filter screen.

• The dishwasher will look, sound, and perform best when properly leveled. removed during installation, make sure the floor is flat and free of any obstruction.)

• Anchor the dishwasher.

Installation Preparation

1. Remove two (2) screws at front of the kickplate assembly using

a #2 Phillips screw driver.

2. Tilt and pull forward to remove. See Figure 1.

NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the outer door for installation.

However, you might find it more convenient to do so. You can find directions for removing door in Step 10.

IMPORTANT: Drain, water, and electrical lines should be roughed-in before going any further.

NOTE: If dishwasher is installed at end of a cabinet line, sides and back must be fully enclosed.

NOTE: You can order a Cabinet Seal Kit (Kit # 154528701) by contacting your dealer or parts supplier. This kit provides a seal between the unit and cabinets once installation is complete. (This kit is included on select models).

1. Determine where you will connect to hot water supply. Review Figure 3 and note the location of water inlet valve.

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.

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

freezes and ruptures, flooding may occur.

3. Determine amount of tubing needed to connect hot water supply to the unit’s water inlet valve. Copper tubing must have a minimum plastic tubing with a minimum inner diameter of 1/4” may be used. A shut-off valve installed outside dishwasher cabinet is best. See Figure 4.

Electric Shock Hazard

Plumbing material and drain hose must not come in contact with wiring or electrical components.

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury from exposed wiring.

1. Pull out unit and check to see if drain hose is correctly attached

to the drain pump assembly. If drain hose drain pump, follow the instruction sheet (included with drain hose) on how to correctly install the drain hose to the drain pump assembly.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

Property Damage

Do not solder within 6” of the water inlet valve. Damage to the plastic parts in the valve may occur.

Use care that no sealer, dirt, or other objects enter the valve. Damage to the filter screen may occur.

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.

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.

Electric Shock Hazard

Make sure electrical power has been disconnected at fuse box or circuit breaker box.

The dishwasher must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system. The 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.

Electrical Supply

1. Remove junction box cover and pull house wiring into junction box. See Figures 12 and 13.

2. Use a UL listed stabilize wiring.

IMPORTANT: Be sure electrical cable is not routed behind dishwasher’s motor.

Note: If mounting your dishwasher to the countertop or to the floor is not a desirable option, you can order the side mount kit, 154477201, by contacting your dealer or parts supplier. This allows you to install the dishwasher by securing it to the cabinets or partitions on either side of the unit. The kit utilizes the front frame of the dishwasher to secure the unit to the cabinet or partitions.

check these items:

q Drain hose is assembled to drain pump. q All packing materials and consumer literature have been

removed from unit.

q Dishwasher is level and securely fastened. q Open and close door to make sure it does not hit

surrounding cabinet or countertop.

q Water and drain lines have no kinks. q Wiring connections to junction box are tight. q Water supply is turned on. q Joints are free of leaks.

Replacing Door

1. Refer to Step 10, numbers 5 and 6, for replacing outer door.

2. Adjust door springs to balance weight of door. A correct spring

setting allows door to remain horizontal in opened position, yet will rise to close with slight lift of finger.

3. If necessary, increase tension by moving springs to a hole toward rear of unit or decrease by moving them toward front.

4. Turn electrical supply on.

Operate the machine through at least one fill and pump-out, checking the following items:

q At first fill, make sure water completely covers filter surface.

(Motor pump sound may be heard before water enters unit).

q At pump-out, make sure all water is pumped out. q Check water connections again for leaks.

Electric Shock Hazard If all connections are correct, there are no leaks, and unit runs properly, replace the kickplate assembly before placing unit into operation.

Failure to follow this warning could result in electric shock.
