DRAIN REQUIREMENTS
, Follow local codes and ordinances.
, Do not exceed 12' 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 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(176%).
, 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.
AWARNING:
Theimproper connectionof theequipmentgroundingconductor

Cabinet
Figure E White
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 be smooth and rounded.
Permanent wiring connections may pass 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 pass through 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

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

. If you are installing the dishwasher under a counter with a
short overhang, the countertop brackets may extend beyond
the edge of the counter. If this is the case, remove the excess
length by repeatedly bending the brackets at the front notch
only until they break.
Install mounting brackets on sides if the countertop is

STEP 12: PUSH DISHWASHER INTO
FINAL POSITION
. Check the tub insulation blanket, if equipped, to be sure it is
smoothly wrapped around the tub. It should not be "bunched
up" and it must not interfere with the door springs. If the
insulation is "bunched up" or interfering with the springs,
straighten und recenter the blanket prior to sliding the
dishwasher into its finul position.
. Slidethe dishwusher into the final position by pushing on
the sides of the door panel. Do not push or pull the door
in a purtiully open or closed position when moving the
dishwasher. Do not use a knee or push onthe center of the
panel. If you do, damage to the panel will likely result.
. The dishwusher is in the final position when the edges of
the front panel ore flush with the adjacent cabinets and the
dishwusher is centered in the cabinet opening. Check that
the dishwasher issqu(]rely positioned in the cabinet opening

Dishwasher Installation
STEP 13: LEVEL DISHWASHER
IM PORTANT = Dishwasher must be level for proper
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 R.
. Adjust the level of the dishwasher by individually turning the 4
legs on the bottom of the dishwasher as illustrated in Figure S.
Ensureall 4 legs are firmly in contact with the floor.
. The dishwasher is properly leveled when the level indicator is
centered left to right and front to back. Also, the dishwasher
door should close without hitting the side of the tub.
. Replace the lower rack.
Tip: Prevent unnecessary service charges. Verify dishwasher
is leveled.
Pullthe dish racks half way 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.
