DRAIN REQUIREMENTS
, Follow local codes and ordinances.
, Do not exceed 15' distance to drain.
NOTE:Air gap must be used, if waste tee or disposer
connection is less than 18" above floor to prevent siphoning.
DETERMINE DRAIN METHOD
The type of drain installation depends on the following
questions.
, Do local codes or ordinances require an air gap?
, Iswaste tee less than 18" above floor?
If the answer to either question is YES,Method 1 MUST
be used.
, If the answers ore NO,either method may be used.
CABINET PREPARATION
, Drill a 1-1/2" diameter hole in the cabinet wall within
the shaded areas shown in Figure A for the drain hose
connection. The hole should be smooth with no sharp edges.

Electrical Requirements
. This appliance must be supplied with !20V, 60 Hz.,and
connected to an individual properly grounded branch circuit,
protected by a 15- or 20-ampere circuit breaker or time-delay
fuse.
. Wiring must be 2 wire with ground and rated for 75°C(!67°F).
. If the electrical supply does not meet the above requirements,
call a licensed electrician before proceeding.

Grounding Instructions-Permanent Connection
This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal,
permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding
conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and be
connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on
the appliance.
Grounding Instructions-Power Cord Models
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction
or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock
by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING:
Theimproper connectionof theequipmentgroundingconductor
con resultinGriskofelectricshock.Checkwith aqualified
electricianor servicerepresentativeifyou are indoubt that
the applianceis properlygrounded.
For models equipped with power cord: Do not modify the plug
provided with the appliance; if it will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified technician.
Cabinet Preparation & Wire Routing
. The wiring may enter the opening from either side, rear or the
floor within the shaded area illustrated above in Figure Eand
defined in Figure A.
. Cut a 1-1/2" maximum diameter hole to admit the electrical
cable. Edgesof hole should besmooth and rounded.
Permanent wiring connections may puss through the same
hole as the drain hose and hot water line, if convenient. If
cabinet wall is metal, the hole edge must be covered with a
bushing.
NOTE:Power cords with plug must pussthrough a separate
hole.
Electrical Connection to Dishwasher
Electrical connection is on the right front of dishwasher.
. For permanent connections the cable must be routed as
shown in Figure E.Cable must extend a minimum of 24"from
the rear wall.
. For power cord connections, install a 3-prong grounding
type receptacle in the sink cabinet rear wall, 6" min. or 18"
maximum from the opening, 6" to 18" above the floor.
. Use only W×09×70910 or W×09×70911 Dishwasher Power
Cord Kit.
Installation Preparation
PREPARE HOT WATER LINE
NOTE:GErecommends copper tubing for the water line, but if
you choose to useflexible hose, use GE'sW×28×326, flexible
braided hose.
. The water supply line (3/8" copper tubing or flexible braided
hose) may enter from either side, rear or floor within the
shaded area shown in Figure F.
. The water supply line may pass through the same hole as the
electrical cable and drain hose. Or,cut an additional 1-1/2"
diameter hole to accommodate the water line. If power cord
with plug is used, water line must not pass through power
cord hole.
ACAUTION:
Do not remove wood base until you are ready to install the
dishwasher. The dishwasher will tip over when the door is
opened if base is removed.

Water Line Connection
. If using a flexible braided supply hose, label the hose with the
installation date to use as reference. Flexible braided hoses,
elbows and gaskets should be replaced in 5years.
. Turn off the water supply.
. Install a hand shut-off valve in an accessible location, such
as under the sink. (Optional, but strongly recommended and
may be required by local codes.)
. Water connection is on the left side of the dishwasher. Install
the hot water inlet line, using no less than 3/8" copper tubing
or aflexible braided hose. Route the line as shown in Figure F
and extend forward at least 19" from rear wall.
. Adjust water heater for !20°F to !40°F temperature.
. Flush water line to clean out debris.
. The hot water supply line pressure must be 20-120 PSI.

at a 24" deep opening. The mounting brackets have several
available attachment positions to accommodate different cabinet
constructions.
Install mounting brackets on top if the underside of
countertop is wood or wood-like materiel that accepts screws:

insul(]tion is "bunched up" or interfering with the springs,
str(]ighten (]nd recenter the bl(]nket prior to sliding the
dishw(]sher into its fin(]l position.
. Slide the dishw(]sher into the final position by pushing on
the sides of the door p(]nel. Do not push or pull the door
in (] p(]rti(]lly open or closed position when moving the
dishw(]sher. Do not use (] knee or push on the center of the

STEP 14: LEVEL DISHWASHER
IN PORTANT - Dishwashermustbelevelforproper
dish rack operation, wash performance and door operation.
The dishwasher must be leveled left to right and front to back.
This ensures the dish racks will not roll in or out on their own,
circulation water will flow to the pump inlet, and the door will close
without hitting the side of
the tub.
• Remove the lower dish rack / \,\
and place a level on the
door and lower rack track
as shown in Figure V.
• If your model has 4 leveling
feet, adjust the level of the Check
dishwasher by individually
turning the 4 legs on the Front Check
bottom of the dishwasher to Buck Level
us illustrated in Figure W. _ "to Side
• If your model has rear
wheels, the height of the
wheels ore adjusted from ,._ i .....
the front of the dishwasher u ..........
along with the 2 front legs Figure V
on the bottom of the Adjust
dishwasher. Begin
the leveling process
with the front legs by
individually turning
the front 2 legs. By
adjusting the front
legs first, access to
the rear leveling bolts
is maximized easing
rear wheel
adjustment.
When the
front legs
ore adjusted
to a height
resulting
inan
appropriate
gap to
the upper
cabinet, proceed to adjust the rear leveling wheels by adjusting the
leveling bolts. Individually turn the 2 bolts to adjust the rear wheels.
Slowly rotate the 2 bolts counter clockwise to raise the back of the
dishwasher, and clockwise to lower it. Continue to adjust the feet
and wheels until the dishwasher islevel as illustrated in Figure W.
Ensure all 4 legs/wheels are firmly in contact with the floor.
• The dishwasher is properly leveled when the level indicator is
centered left to right and front to buck. Also, the dishwasher door
should close without hitting the side of the tub.
• Replacethe lower rack.
• Pull each rack out, about halfway. Check to be sure it does not
roll back or forward on the door If the rack moves, adjust
leveling legs.
FigureW
Side
Tip: Prevent unnecessary service charges. Verify dishwasher is leveled.
Pullthe dish racks halfway out. They should stay put. Open and
close the door. The door should fit in the tub opening without
hitting the side of the tub. If the racks roll on their own, or the door
hits the side of tub, relevel the dishwasher.
