DRAIN REQUIREMENTS
• Follow local codes and ordinances.
• Do not exceed 10 feet distance to drain.
• Do not connect drain lines from other devices to the
dishwasher drain hose.
NOTE: An 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
question.
Do local codes or ordinances require an air gap?
Is waste 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" dia. 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.
Method 1—Air Gap with Waste Tee or Disposer
An air gap must be used when required by local codes and
ordinances. The air gap must be installed according to
manufacturers instructions.

PREPARE ELECTRICAL WIRING
WARNING
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY: Remove house
fuse or open circuit breaker before
beginning installation. Do not use an
extension cord or adapter plug with this
appliance.
Electrical Requirements
• This appliance must be supplied with 120V, 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°F).
• If the electrical supply does not meet the above
requirements, call a licensed electrician before
proceeding.
Grounding Instructions—Cable Direct
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
The improper connection of the equipment
grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service representative if you
are in doubt that the appliance is properly
grounded.
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 and Wire Routing
• The wiring may enter the opening from either side,
rear or the floor within the shaded area.
• Cut a 1-1/2" max. dia. hole to admit the electrical
cable. Cable direct 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 cable direct 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" max. from the opening, 6" to 18"
above the floor.

PREPARE HOT WATER LINE
• The line may enter from either side, rear or floor
within the shaded area shown in Figure F.
• The line may pass through the same hole as the
electrical cable and drain hose. Or, cut an additional
1-1/2" dia. hole to accommodate the water line.
If power cord with plug is used, water line must
not pass through power cord hole.
Water Line Connection
• 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"
O.D. copper tubing. Route the line as shown in Figure F
and extend forward at least 19" from rear wall.
• Adjust water heater for 120°F to 150°F temperature.
• Flush water line to clean out debris.
• The hot water supply line pressure must be 20-120 PSI.

CAUTION
Do not remove wood base until you are ready
to install the dishwasher. The dishwasher will tip over
when the door is opened if the wood base is removed.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Locate and set aside (for use in Step 12) the
2 Phillips special head screws wrapped with
yellow tape and stuck to the top or side of the
dishwasher. Remove drain hose from upper rack, if
it has not been pre-installed, and set aside for use in
Step 7.

CHECK DOOR BALANCE
• With dishwasher on the wood skid, check the door
balance by opening and closing the door.
• If the door drops when released, increase the spring
tension. If the door rises when released, decrease
the tension.
NOTE: The addition of the custom panel on model
ZBD6890 will require exchange of the factory installed
springs. Use the heavy-duty springs provided. See the
custom panel template for additional instructions.
• Position the spring for increased or decreased
tension as required.
NOTE: Adjust both balance springs to the same
amount of tension to prevent excessive door
twisting during use.
TIP: If door does not open easily or falls too quickly,
check the spring cable routing. Check that the cable
is properly aligned on the pulley (as shown).

• Push the dishwasher into the cabinet.
• Push at the sides with your hands. Do not use your
knee against the door since door damage will occur.
• Check that the tub insulation blanket does not get
“bunched-up” or interfere with the springs as you
slide it into the cabinet.
• Center the dishwasher in the opening.
• Check that the edges of the dishwasher door are
behind the cabinet frame and aligned with the front
face of the cabinet as shown.
• Carefully open and close the door to ensure that the
door panel does not catch or rub on the cabinet frame.
• If the door catches or rubs on the frame, reposition
and/or level the unit (see Step 11) until the door moves
freely and does not contact the cabinet frame.
The controls are designed to be hidden by your
countertop. Align the dishwasher as shown in Figure T.
NOTE: If the drain hose gets trapped between the wall
and the back side of the dishwasher, it can prevent the
dishwasher from sliding all the way back into the
cabinet opening, and thus preventing a flush fit with
the kitchen cabinet panels.
TIP: For best appearance installations of custom panel
models, it may be necessary to cut off the back panel
of the tub insulation blanket so that the dishwasher
door panel can be aligned flush with the kitchen
cabinet panels.
The leveling legs can be used to increase or decrease
the amount of gap between the controls and the
countertop affecting the visibility of the controls.
Leave a 1/2" minimum gap between the underside
of the countertop and the top of the dishwasher
door (see Figure V).
IMPORTANT — Leave a 1/2" minimum
gap between the controls and the underside of the
countertop to prevent condensation and damage to the
control panel from screwheads.
NOTE: If this dishwasher is replacing an existing
dishwasher, the old countertop bracket screw holes
may not be in the correct position to accept a top
control model. New holes may be required.
