PREPARE DISHWASHER ENCLOSURE AND
SINK LOCATION
• Water line to sink faucet and drain from sink can
be run through Area “A.”
• Hot water line to dishwasher is installed in Area “B.”
• Garbage disposer, water lines to faucet, waste
trap, air gap and water shut-off valve are installed
in a 12" wide cabinet, Area “C”.
• Sink opening for garbage disposer must be
dimensioned as shown (7-1/2") in Area “C.” This will
provide clearance for disposer and plumbing in
Area “C” when using either single or double bowl
sink. Refer to Figure A below and Figure F1 on
page 6.
PREPARE CABINET CUTOUT FOR SINK:
WARNING
• The cabinet opening must have a minimum width
and depth of 24" and height of 34-1/4" ± 1/4".
• This dishwasher fits under a special sink with a
depth of 6" or less in a 1-1/2" countertop.
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.
Figure A
• The dishwasher must be fully enclosed on the top,
sides and back.
• The dishwasher must not support any part of the
enclosure.
Note: A gap between the dishwasher tub front flange and
the front of the base cabinet may result due to either
the cabinet being less than 24" deep or the sink bowl
not being installed to specifications.
If the gap is more than 3/4", the sink bowl must be
relocated to meet specified dimensions.

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)
may be used.
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 may cause
damage.
METHOD 1–Air Gap with Waste Tee or Disposer
Figure C

METHOD 2–High Drain Loop with Waste Tee

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

Install waste tee or disposer and the air gap
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Cabinet Preparation
Drill a 1-1/2" diameter hole in the cabinet wall within
the shaded area shown in Figure E 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.

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.
• 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.
WARNING
The improper connection of the equipment
grounding conductor can result in electric
shock. Check with a qualified electrician or
service representative if you are in doubt
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.
Figure E
Cabinet Preparation & Wire Routing
• The wiring may enter the opening from either side,
rear, or floor within the shaded area illustrated
above in Figure E.
• Cut a 1-1/2" maximum diameter hole to insert the
electrical cable. Permanent wiring connections
may pass through the same hole as the drain
hose and hot water line, if convenient. Hole edges
must be smooth and rounded. If the cabinet wall is
metal, the hole edge must be covered with a cord
protector.
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. The cable must extend
a minimum of 24" from the rear wall.
• For power cord connections, install a 3-prong
grounding type receptacle in the adjacent cabinet
rear wall, between 6" and 18" from the opening, 6"
to 18" above the floor as shown in Figure E.
