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 are 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 Afor the drain hose
connection. The hole should be smooth with no sharp edges.

adapter plugwiththis appliance.
Electrical Requirements
, This appliance must be supplied with !20V, 60 Hz.,and
connected to an individual properly grounded branch circuit,
protected by c]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 c]licensed electrician before proceeding.
Grounding Instructions-Permanent Connection
This appliance must be connected to c]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 c]malfunction
or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock
by providing c]path of least resistance for electric current.
This appliance is equipped with c]cord having tin equipment-
grounding conductor and c]grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into tin appropriate outlet that is installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Figure E White
For models equipped with power cord: Donot modify the plug
provided with the appliance; if it will not fit the outlet, have c]
proper outlet installed by c]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 c]1-1/2" maximum diameter hole to admit the electrical
cable. Edgesof hole should be smooth and rounded.
Permanent wiring connections may puss through the same
hole us the drain hose and hot water line, if convenient. If
cabinet wall is metal, the hole edge must be covered with c]
bushing.
NOTE:Power cords with plug must puss through c]separate
hole.

maximum from the opening, 6" to 18" above the floor.
, Use the Power Cord Kitfor your dishwasher model.
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. Ifpower 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 isremoved.

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:

insulation is"bunched up" or interfering with the springs,
straighten and recenter the blanket prior to sliding the
dishwasher into its final position.
. Slide the dishwasher into the final position by pushing on the
sides of the door panel. Do not use a knee or push on the
center of the panel. Ifyou do, damage to the panel will likely
result.

STEP 20: PRETEST CHECKLIST
Review this list after installing your dishwasher to avoid
charges for a service call that is not covered by your
wa r ra nty.
. Check to be sure power is OFF.
, Open door and remove all foam and paper packaging.
, Locate the Owner's Manual set aside in Step 1.
, Read the Owner's Manual for operating instructions.
. Check door opening and closing. If door does not open and
close freely, check for proper routing of spring cable over
pulley. If door drops or closes when released, adjust spring
tension. See Step 2.
. Check to be sure that wiring is secure under the dishwasher,
not pinched or in contact with door springs or other
components. See Step 19.
, Check door alignment with tub. If door hits tub, level
dishwasher. SeeStep 15.
, Check door alignment with cabinet. If door hits cabinet,
reposition dishwasher. See Step 1/4.
, Check that door spring does not contact water line, fill hose,
wiring or other components. See Step 1/4.
, Verify water supply and drain lines are not kinked or in
contact with other components. Contact with motor or
dishwasher frame could cause noise.
STEP 21: DISHWASHER WET TEST
,Turn on power supply or plug power cord into outlet,
if equipped.
, Select acycle to run and push the Start button.
, Ensurethe door is latched. Dishwasher should start.
, Check to be sure that water enters the dishwasher. If water
does not enter the dishwasher, check to be sure that water
and power are turned on.

Align the toekick with the bottom edge and make sure it is
against the floor.
Insert and tighten the 2toekick attachment screws. The
toekick should stay in contact with the floor.
When reinstalling the toe kick on models with a sound barrier,
ensure that the bottom edge of the rubberized flap isflush
with the floor. Any excess material should be tucked up
behind the outer door. Donot allow excess rubberized flap to
lay on the floor. Ifany excess is not tucked completely behind
the outer door, it will bunch up between the door and toe kick
and impede proper opening and closing of the door. Thiswill
be noticeable because the door will not stay fully open and
will spring up.
Tip: Reduce sound from under the dishwasher. Make sure
toekick is against floor.
