Prepare
drain
plumbing
• Follow local codes and ordinances.
• Dishwasher drain hose must not exceed 10
feet in length for proper drainage.
– The dishwasher is supplied with a 3/4”
I.D. drain hose, 78” long. Add up to 42”
length to the factory supplied hose if
necessary.
• Dishwasher must be connected to waste line
with an air gap (not supplied) or 30”
minimum, high drain loop (depending on
local codes and ordinances) to prevent
back flow into the dishwasher.
• An air gap must be used if waste tee or
disposer connection is less than 12” above
floor to prevent siphoning.
• Install waste tee or disposer and air gap
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Cut a hole in cabinet wall, approximately
1-1/2” in diameter for drain hose.
• Install drain hose hook to underside of
countertop.
Method 1 – Air Gap with Waste Tee or Disposer
Use this method when waste tee or disposer connection is less
than 12” above the floor.
Waste Tee Installation Disposer Installation
Method 2 – High Drain Loop
with Waste Tee or Disposer
Use this method when high drain loop is at least 30” above the
floor.
CAUTION
CAUTION
An air gap MUST BE USED if the drain
hose is connected to waste tee or disposer
lower than 12” above the floor level.
Failure to provide the proper drain connection height, 12", with air gap or 30”
minimum high drain loop will result in
improper draining of the dishwasher which
may cause damage.

Si le tuyau d’égout n’est pas branché à une
bonne hauteur, au moins 30 cm (12 po),
avec un dispositif anti-retour, ou si la
boucle d’égout haute n’est pas à une
hauteur d’au moins 75 cm (30 po), le

under the dishwasher. This will protect the
finished floor in the kitchen.
• Lay the dishwasher on its back.
• Remove the 4 screws holding the dishwasher to the wood base. Discard screws.
• Retain wood base.
• Insure that the floor of the cutout is the
same level or higher than the rest of the
room. If the kitchen floor is tile, it may be
elevated above the floor of the installation
cutout. Pieces of the wood base may be
placed into the cutout floor to make it level
or higher than with the kitchen floor. This
will allow for easy removal for any future
service.
• Un-wrap the drain hose and pull to the rear
of the dishwasher. Take care not to kink or
crush the hose.
• Install toekick support brackets on the left
and right sides of the mounting brackets
using 2 screws each. See illustration for
correct orientation.
• Install the front leveling legs provided in
the parts package. The legs should be at
least 2” from the bottom edge of the
mounting bracket.
• Adjust leveling legs to installation height.
Tighten leveling leg locking nuts on the

Springs
The additional weight of the custom panel
may require that the heavy door springs be
installed.
Test Door Balance
• With one hand under the door, slowly open
the door fully.
• Open and close the door to check for
proper balance. Correct door balance
should prevent the door from raising by
itself from a full open position and prevent
the door from falling heavily.
• If the door falls heavily, damage will occur
from repeated use.
• Install one or both new springs provided.
Install New Springs:
• Close and latch the dishwasher door.
• Locate door spring on left side of dishwasher.
• Disengage the push rod guide by pushing
down on the guide and slowly pulling the
guide out of the mounting position.
• Carefully release the tension on the spring
and remove the push rod guide from the
rod.
• Remove the spring and replace with the
spring that has a yellow marking.
• Reassemble the push rod guide into the
original position.
• Test door balance.
