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. 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.

Figure 7

The drain hose loop must be at least 32" high f!'om the floor

to insure proper drainage.

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 7.

Figure 9(b)

The drain hose loop must be at least 32" high f!'om the floor

insure proper drainage.

If the cabinet wall is wood, sand edges of hole until smooth and

rounded. If cabinet wall is metal, cover all sharp edges with electrical or duct tape to avoid cutting drain hose.

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.

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.

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 incontact with any sharp edges.

Replace kickplate and kickplate brace. (See Figure 1)

Drain hose is assembled to Drain Hose Connector.

All packing materials and consumer literature have

been removed from inside unit.

[3 Dishwasher is level and securely fastened.

[3 Open and close door to make sure it does not hit

surrounding cabinet or countertop.

[3 Make sure that all tape is removed from the Silverware

Baskets.

Operate the machine through at

least one fill and pump-out, checking the following items:

[3 At first fill, approximately 1 minute make sure water

completely covers filter surface.

[3 At pump-out: (pump-out is either when the cycle is

completed or canceled, refer to the Use and Care Manual

for Start/Cancel), make sure all water is pumped out.

[3 Check water connections again for leaks.

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

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.

Electric Shock Hazard

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.

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 8. 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 9(a). The knock out plug must be removed from inside disposer inlet before making the final fit to drain hose. See Figure 9(b).

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.

Cut Hazard

Metal color panels are sharp and should be handled with care. Wear gloves to protect

hands. Failure to follow this warning may result in

injury.

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.
