ADVANCE PLANNING

• These dishwashers are designed flw versatility,
adaptable to vh'tually any installation.

• All models have a fldl length door or a modified
door to accept a fldl cabinet panel without the
traditional access panel

• Side tub flange trim is ac!justable and will conceal
any slight gap between the dishwasher and ac!jacent

cabinetry.

• These dishwashers may be installed beneath
cotmtertops {)f st{me or other materials that will not
accept screws. No trhn kit requh'ed.

Standard installation in 24" deep cabinets

• In standard 24" deep cabinets, the dishwasher door

will be flush with ac!jacent cabinetry.

• Models with 3/4" thick custom door panel will tit
flush with ac!jacent cabinetry.

Supplied or Custom Toekicks

• A 2-piece toekick is supplied with all models. The
toekick is height and depth a(!justable.

• Depending on cabinetry style, a custom toekick can
also be installed to match cabinetry. Care must be

taken to assm'e door swing clearance above the
toekick.

• A notched continuous toekick may be necessary to
allow a hmg door panel, on models ZBD7000 and

ZBD7005, to swing back and under the dishwasher.

ADA-Compliant
Installation below 34" high countertops

A reduced height installation (32-1/2" rain.) beneath

a 34" countertop, can be accomplished by removing
the fl'ont leveling legs. The rear legs should be

screwed in flush with the bottom support, as shipped.
The fl'ont of the dishwasher illtlst be shimmed to
level the dishwasher. }%:ater and electrical must be

routed through the back wall.

• All models are ADA-Complimm Models ZBD7000
and ZBD7005 oilier even nlore installation and

design flexibility because the required custom door
panel may be sized ti'om 26-1/4 to 30-1/4" height.

Installation Preparation

DRAIN REQUIREMENTS

• Follow local codes and ordinances.

• Do not exceed ] 0 feet distance to drain.

• To prevent back flow into the dishwasher, COlmect
drain line to an air gap or use a 30" high drain loop,
depending on local codes.

• Air gap in ust be used when waste tee or disposer
COlmectioi_ is less than 18" above the floor to prevent
siphoning.

DETERMINE DRAIN METHOD

The type ot drain iI_stallati(m depends (m the fl)llowing
questions.

Do local codes or ordii_ances reqtlii'e an aii" gap?
Will waste tee or disposer COlmectioi_ be less than 18"

above the floor?
Will installation have a high drain loop less than 30"

above the floor?

If the answer to ANYof these questions is YES, Method 1
MUST be used.

• If all answers are NO, either inethod inay be used.

.M_ air gap MUST BE USED if the drain hose is con-

nected to a waste tee or disposer lower than 18" above
the floor level.

• Faihu'e to provide the proper drain COlmectioi_ using
an air gap or a 30" rain. high drain loop will result in
ilnproper drailfing of the dishwasher which inav cause
damage or poor wash peril)finance.

Method 1 - Air Gap with Waste Tee or Disposer

An air gapmust be usedwhenthe wastetee or disposer
connection is less than 18" from the floor.

Method 2 - High Drain Loop with Waste Tee or
Disposer Install waste tee or disposer and air gap according

to manufacturer's instructions.

l-

CABINET PREPARATION

• Drill a 1-1/9" dia. hole in the cabinet wall within

the shaded areas shown for the drain hose Colmec-
tion. The hole should be Slnooth with no sharp

edges.

Electrical Connections to Dishwasher:

The dishwasher junction box is located on the right side
at the fl'ont of the dishwasher. The electrical cable must

extend forward at least 24" to reach the junction box

when dishwasher is installed.

• The wiring inav enter the opening from either side,
rear or the floor within the shaded area.

• Cut a 1-1/9" max. dia. hole to admit the electrical
cable or use the same hole cut tor the drain hose. The

hole inust be flee of sharp edges. If the cabinet wall is
metal, the hole edge must be covered with a bushing.

• For power cord cmmections, install a 3-prong ground-
ing type receptacle in the sink cabinet rear wall, 6"
rain, or 18" max. fl'om the opening, and 6" to 18"

above the floor.

Grounding Instructions-Power Cord

ISTEP 111 POSITION AND LEVEL THE DISHWASHER

• Check to be sure tile dishwasher is a(!justed to correct
height and is centered in tile ctltotlt.

• Open and close tile door to insure proper operation of
tile door. If there is any binding or rubbing, rea(!just

leveling legs.

Use awrench to make adjustments.

• If the door rubs on the right side of the cabinet, extend the left rear

leg by unscrewing it one quarter turn.

• If the door rubs against the left side of the cabinet, extend the right

rear leg by unscrewing it one quarter turn.

• Checklevel again. Repeatthe procedure if necessary.

[STEP 12] PRE-TEST CHECK LIST

Installation service calls are not covered by your

warranty. To avoid unnecessary charges, review
this list carefully.

[] Checkto be sure power is 0FE
[] Open the door and remove all foam and paper packaging.

[] Pull lower rack out, about halfway. Check to be sure it does

not roll back or forwards on the door. If the rack moves,
adjust leveling legs.
