• The rough cabinet opening must have a minimum width and depth of 24" and height of 34-1/2" _+1/4" from the floor to the underside of the countertop.

• The back wall should be free of pipes or wires.

• Adjacent cabinets should be square and plumb to ensure a good fit. Refer to Figure A

• For a corner installation, allow 2" minimum clearance between the dishwasher and the

adjacent wall.

• Provide at least 27" in front of the dishwasher to allow the dishwasher door to open fully. Refer to Figure B

To reduce the risk of shock, fire, or injury to persons, the installer must ensure that the dishwasher is completely enclosed at

the time of installation.

• The dishwasher must be installed no more than 10 feet from sink for proper drainage.

• The dishwasher must be fullg enclosed on the top,

• Hake sure the floor is level inside the opening and even with the finished floor of the kitchen. This will

facilitate removal of the dishwasher at a later date for service, if needed.

Installation Preparation-Drain

PREPARE DRAIN PLUMBING Drain Requirements

• Followlocalcodes and ordinances.

• Drainhose must notexceed 10 feetinlength,

• A highdrainloopor airgap isrequired.See below.

Drain Method

The type of drain installation depends on the following:

• Do local codes or ordinances require an air gap?

• Is waste tee less than 18" above the floor? If the answer to either question is YES,on air gap

(Method 1) must be used. If both answers are NO, either on air gap or a high drain loop (Method 2)

malj be used.

Special consideration for a dishwasher installed

on a pedestal

If the dishwasher is installed on an elevated platform, a high drain loop of at least 32" above the

platform must be provided in addition to the air gap requirement determined above. This is necessary for

proper drain performance.

METHOD 1-Air Gap with Waste Tee or Disposer

Figure C

Waste Tee Installation

Disposer Installation

METHOD 2-High Drain Loop with Waste Tee

or Disposer

Provide a method to attach the drain hose to the underside of countertop. Attachment will be made in

a later step.

Waste Tee Installation

Figure D

Disposer Installation

Install waste tee or disposer and the air gap

according to the manufacturer's instructions.

CAUTION

An air gap MUST BE USED if the drain hose is connected to waste tee or disposer lower than 18" above the floor level. Failure to provide the proper drain connection height with an air gap or 32" minimum, high drain loop will result in improper draining of the dishwasher, which mag cause

damage.

Cabinet Preparation

Drill a 1-1/2" diameter hole in the cabinet wall within

the shaded area shown in Figure A for the drain hose. Make sure there are no sharp edges. The drain hose will be passed through this hole and connected to the drain in a later step.

IMPORTANT- When

connecting the drain line to a disposer, check to be sure that drain plug has been removed.

Dishwasher will not drain if plug is left in place.
