If the gap is more than 3/4", the sink bowl must be relocated to meet specified dimensions.

Installation Preparation-Drain

PREPARE DRAIN PLUMBING

Drain Requirements

• Follow local codes and ordinances.

• Drain hose must not exceed 10 feet in length.

• A high drain loop or air gap is required. 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,an air gap

(Method 1) must be used. If both answers are NO,

either an air gap or a high drain loop (Method 2)

mag be used.

CAUTION

An air gap MUST BE USED if the drain hose is connected to waste tee or disposer lower then 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 may cause damage.

METHOD 1-Air Gap with Waste Tee or Disposer

Cabinet Preparation

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

the shaded area shown in Figure Efor the drain hose. IVlakesure 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.

that the appliance is properly grounded.

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.

Electrical Connection to Dishwasher

Electrical connection is on the right front of

dishwasher.

• For permanent connections, the cable must be routed us shown in Figure E.The cable must extend

c] minimum of 2/4"from the rear wall.

• For power cord connections, install c_3-prong grounding type receptacle in the adjacent cabinet rear wall, between 6" and 18" from the opening, 6" to 18" above the floor us shown in Figure E.

Installation Preparation-Hot Water Supply

PREPARE HOT WATER SUPPLY

Hot Water Line

• The line may enter from either side, rear, or floor within the shaded area shown in Figure F.

• The line mag 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. tf a power cord with plug is used, the water line must not pass through the power cord hole.

The hot water supply line pressure must be at least 20 PSI.

Lower pressures could cause the water valve to leak and

cause water damage.

Sink Utility Connections Sink faucet hot and cold water lines and the sink

drain line must run above and adjacent to the dishwasher, not behind it. Refer to Areas A and C

in Figure A on page 3 and Figure F1 below. This is necessarg to provide clearance for the dishwasher when it is installed in the cabinet. Utilitg lines routed directlg behind the dishwasher will interfere with placement of the dishwasher in the cabinet and cause it to extend begond the adjacent cabinets.

Figure F1 illustrates an installation using a double

bowl sink, a disposer and a high drain loop.

Note: All utilitg lines are above, below or adjacent to the dishwasher. None are routed behind it.

CAUTION

Water Line Connection

• Turn off the water supplg.

• Install a hand shut-off vatve in on accessible location. (Optional, but strongtg recommended and

mag be required bg local codes.)

• The water connection is on the left side of the

dishwasher. Install the hot water inlet line, using

3/8" or larger copper tubing. Route the line as

shown in Figure F and extend forward at least 19" from rear wall.

• Adjust the water heater to deliver water between 120°F and 150°F.

• Flush water line to clean out debris. Use a bucket

to catch water and debris.

• The hot water supplg line pressure must be between 20 and 120 PSt.

STEP 2: CHECK DOOR BALANCE

• With the dishwasher on the wood base, check the door balance by opening and closing the door.

• The door is properly balanced if it gently drops from a 1/2 open position and does not rise from the full open position.

• If necessary, increase or decrease tension as shown. Latch the door and adjust springs to

correct balance.

STEP 5: INSTALL POWER CORD

Skip this step if the dishwasher will be permanently connected to the house electrical system or has a factory installed power cord.

In this step you will need the junction box cover and

the #:1_0x :1_/2"hex head screw from the screw kit set

aside in Step 1.

The power cord and connections must complg with the National Electrical Code, Section/422 and/

or local codes and ordinances. Maximum power cord length is 6 feet. Power Cord Kit WX09X70910, available for purchase from an authorized GE

Appliance Dealer, meets these requirements.

STEP 6: INSTALL 90° ELBOW

• Wrap a 90 ° elbow with thread seal tape.

• Thead the 90° elbow into the water valve.

• Do not over tighten the elbow; water valve bracket could bend or the valve fitting could break.

• Position the end of the elbow to face the rear of the dishwasher.

Skip this step if drain hose has been pre-installed.

In this step you will need the drain hose and clamp

set aside in Step 1.

IMPORTANT- Prevent drain hose damage

and possible leaks. Be careful not to nick or cut the drain hose.

• Route the small end of the drain hose from the left side of the dishwasher through the strain relief

attached to the dishwasher frame and toward the center of the dishwasher as shown in Figures

Land M.

• Place the hose clamp over the small end of the drain hose.

• Push the small end of the drain hose over the drain

port on the collection chamber making sure it is

STEP 11: SLIDE DISHWASHER INTO CABINET

IMPORTANT - Do not push against the front

panel with knees. Damage will occur.

• Grasp the sides of the front panel and slide the dishwasher into the opening a few inches at a time. Pull the drain hose and power cord, if equipped, through the holes in the adjacent cabinet while sliding the dishwasher into position.

Do not ush a ainst front door panel with

knee. Damage to the door panel will occur.

STEP 12: POSITION AND LEVEL

DISHWASHER

IMPORTANT- 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 assures

that 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.

Check Level

Front-to-Back

• 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 and re-center the blanket prior to sliding the dishwasher into its final position.

• IVlake sure the drain hose is not kinked under or

behind the dishwasher.

• IVlake certain the house wiring, drain line, and

water line do not interfere with components under the dishwasher.

• The dishwasher tub flange should be

approximately 3/4" behind the face of the adjacent cabinet. Refer to Figure R.

Tip: Avoid unnecessary service charges for panel damage.

Do not press on the center of panel with hands or

knees when sliding dishwasher into position.

Figure R

• Adjust the level of the dishwasher by individually turning the four legs on the bottom of the

dishwasher as illustrated in Figure S.

• The dishwasher is properly leveled when the level indicator is centered left to right and front to back. The dishwasher door should close without hitting

the sides of the tub.

• Replace the lower rack.

Tip: Avoid unnecessary service charges for poor wash performance and rack operation.

Pull the dish racks halfway out. They should remain stationary. 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 the tub, re-level the dishwasher.
