For dimensional information see pages 3 and 4.

WD01X10445

1. Fit the handle (A)onto the panel according to the manu- facturer's instructions. (NOTE:A handle should be used rather

than a knob, because a knob does not provide enough grip.)

IMPORTANT!The custom panel must not IJ obstruct the fan exhaust vent; otherwise,

moisture from the vent could eventually damage the cabinet and create drying

problems. Ea

2.The two short screws (B)go into the back of the panel 15-7/16" (392 mm) from the upper edge of the panel and 10-7/8" (266 mm) from the center of the panel. Insert the short screws into the panel, leaving 1/8" (3mm) of space between the screw head and the panel.

3. Hook the panel screws (B)into the keyholes (C)on the dish- washer door.

4. Slidethe panel to the left until it is centered inthe opening and secure the screws.

5. Open the door and use the six screws (D)supplied to secure the panel to the door.

6. Exhaust vent can be adjusted by loosening vent screws on the side of the door and moving the exhaust vent up or down.

Note: If vent is pulled downward too far it will seperate from the exhaust conduit and must be reattached.

ADJUSTING THE DOOR SPRINGS

Before you push the dishwasher into the cabinet opening, test the door to make sure it stays in place at any angle. If it tends to fall down, pull out the machine and adjust the tension of the door springs on the sides of the machine by moving them one hole farther back or by twisting the spring to make it shorter.

NOTE:If the door panel weighs more than !5 pounds, you may need to order the heavy-duty door springs (Order Kit #

WD01X10445). Max panel width cannot exceed cutout dimensions less 1/8"

(2.Smm)reveal on each side.

PREPARING THE DISHWASHER FOR INSTALLATION

At this point the styrofoam, plastic wrap, and the wood pallet (base)should be removed from the dishwasher. Now isan

excellent time to inspect for any shipping damage. Should you find any damage, you should report it to your dealer or builder immediately. Be sure to remove the toe kick and toe kick insulation (only on certain models) from the top of the dishwasher.

SLIDES FOR LEGS

The unit comes with white plastic slides for ........

the legs to protect the kitchen floor from being ........_._

damaged when you slide the unit into place. _The slides simply snap onto the bottom of the legs. Protective slides for legs simply snap onto the bottom of the legs.

CORNER INSTALLATION

If the dishwasher is installed in a corner, there must be o mini- mum clearance of 2" (50 mm) from the side wall so the door

can open.

ADJUSTING THE DOOR SPRINGS Before you install the unit into the cabinet, open the door

to make sure it stays open at any .- angle. If it tends to full down or snap shut, pull out the machine and tension the door springs on the sides of the machine by moving them one hole further back or by twisting the spring to make it shorter. The accessory door panel or custom wood panel must be installed on FI dishwashers to properly adjust tension on the door springs. If that doesn't resolve the problem, you may need to purchase the heavy-duty door springs (part number WD01X10/4/45).

NOTE: If the door pond weighs more than !5 pounds, you may need

to order the heavy-duty door springs. (Seepage 5.)

WATER SUPPLY

A WARNING:

Plumbing connections must comply with applicable sanitary, safety and plumbing codes in your area. The machine can be connected to either a hot or cold water supply. If a cold water supply is used, the washing times will be

longer but the performance will not be affected. The dishwasher comes with a 6-foot PEXwater supply line that has a 3/8" NPTfemale connection. After determining where the water supply line will enter under the sink, drill a 1-1/2" access hole and run the line to the approxi-

mate inlet valve location shown in the fgure below. Thewater line inlet valve ison the right rear of the machine. For service convenience, a shut-off valve (not supplied) should be installed inthe supply line in an easily accessible location, such

as, beneath the sink. It is important that the water supply line and the shut-off valve have a sumcient flow volume. At last 3 gallons (12 liters) per

minute must be able to pass through the line.The water pressure should be 4.2-140 psi.

ADVERTENCIA:

Las conexiones de plomer[a deben cumplir con los cbdigos sanitarios, de seguridad y de plomer[a vigentes en su _rea. La m_quina puede conectarse al suministro de agua caliente o de agua frfa. Sise utiliza el suministro de agua if[a, los tlempos

de lavado ser_n m_s prolongados pero el desempe_o no sever_ afectado. El lavavajillas viene con una I[nea de suministro de agua de polietileno reticulado de 6 pies que cuenta con una conexibn hem-

bra NPTde 3/8". Despu_s de establecer el lugar en donde secolocar_ la I[nea de suministro de agua debajo del fregadero, perfore un orificio de

acceso de !-!/2" y distribuya la I[nea hasta la ubicacibn aproximada de la v_lvula de ingreso indicada en la imagen de abajo. La vdlvula de ingreso de la I[nea de agua se encuentra en la parte trasera derecha de la m_quina.

Para mayor comodidad cuando se realiza una reparacibn, debe instalarse una v_lvula de cierre (no provista) en la I[nea de sum- inistro en una ubicacibn f_cilmente accesible, coma par ejemplo, debajo del fregadero.

Resulta importante que la I[nea de suministro de agua y la v_lvula de cierre tengan un volumen de flujo suficiente. ParIo menos 3 galones (12 litros) par minuto deben poder pasar a travbs de la I[nea. La presibn del agua debe set de 4.2-!40 psi.

DRAIN CONNECTIONS

GEprovides a 7/8" (22 mm) diameter corrugated drain hose which isconnected to the back of the unit to form a high loop. If additional drain hose is needed, please purchase a drain hose extension kit with a 7/8" (22mm) copper tube.

NOTE: Do not use any fittings anywhere in the drainline that are less

than 7/8" (22mm) ID. The access hole for the drain line should be 1-5/8" (41 mm)- 2"

(50mm) max. The end of the drain line is 1/2"

(12 mm), but it is adjustable to 7/8%3/4%5/8" (22mm, 19

mm, and 16 mm). If the drain connection islarger than 1/2" (12 mm), you can easily cut the

drain line to fit the connection. The illustrations to the right show three ways to connect the

drain supply line.

THE HiGH LOOP

The high loop is necessary for proper draining. Therefore, the dishwasher has the drain hose

attached to the drain pump and fastened to the top back of the unit, as illustrated. This gives the drain hose an automatic high loop, which isnecessary for proper draining. The drain hose is fastened at the best high loop height.

THREE WAYS TO INSTALL DRAIN CONNECTIONS

A) Typical connection to sink plumbing before trap

(high loop drain).

,,'[11

B) Connection to air gap then to the trap.

To eliminate potential drain problems, simply leave this hose in place.

DO NOT REMOVE THE HIGH LOOP!

IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER: I_ Failure to provide the proper drain connection height

(minimum of 20" (508mm) above the bottom of the dishwasher base) or a 20" (508 mm) high loop will result in

improper drainage, which will damage the machine. I_ No part of the drain hose should be higher than 35" (889

mm) from the bottom of the dishwasher. I_ The drain hose can be extended to a maximum length of 10

feet (3048 mm).Joints and jointed tubes, if any, must have a minimum 5/8" (16 mm)ID.

I_ If the drain line is going to be connected to a waste disposer, be sure to remove the knockout or plug from the fitting on the disposer before connecting the drain line.

I_Do not use fittings smaller than 5/8" (16 mm); otherwise the water may not drain properly.

When the installation is ready, open the supply valve and let the pressure act for a while. Then check that all connections are tight and there are no leaks.

C)Connection to waste disposer with air gap.

NOTE: Don't forget to remove the knockout or plug from the disposer

fitting.

CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY

In order to prevent heat damage to the inlet valve, all solder connections must be made before the water supply line is

connected. Flush the water supply line prior to connecting it to the water

fill tube. The unit has a float switch in the base pan to protect against

flooding. If the inlet valve connection is not seated properly, water may leak into the base pan and activate the float

switch.
