@rounded electrical supply required. Do not run drain lines, water lines or electrical wiring where they

can interfere with or contact dishwasher motor or legs. The location where the dishwasher will be installed must provide

clearance between motor and flooring. Motor should not touch the floor.

Do not install dishwasher over carpeted flooring. Shelter dishwasher and water lines leading to dishwasher against

freezing. Damage from freezing is not covered by the warranty. A side panel kit is available from your dealer for installing your

dishwasher at the end of your cabinetry. A moisture barrier accessory (Part Number 4396277) is available

from your dealer for installing underneath the countertop.

Check location where dishwasher will be installed. The location must provide:

• easy access to water, electricity and drain.

convenient access for loading and unloading dishes. Corner locations require a 2" (5.1 cm) minimum clearance

between the side of the dishwasher door and the wall or

cabinet.

• square opening for proper operation and appearance.

• cabinet front perpendicular to floor.

• level floor. (If floor at front of opening is not level with floor

at rear of opening, shims may be needed to level dishwasher.)

Helpful Tip: Be sure to accurately measure dimensions and ensure dishwasher is level if the floor in the dishwasher opening is uneven (example: Flooring extends only partway into opening).

NOTE: To avoid shifting during dishwasher operation, shims must be securely attached to the floor.

If dishwasher will be left unused for a period of time or in a location where it may be subject to freezing, have it winterized by authorized service personnel.

Make sure pipes, wires and drain hose are within the shaded area shown in the "Product and Cabinet Opening Dimensions" section.

*Insulation may be compressed

(not used on all models)

Check that all surfaces have no protrusions that would prohibit dishwasher installation.

NOTE: Shaded areas of cabinet walls show

where utility connections may be _nstalled.

*Measured from the lowest point on the

underside of the countertop. May be reduced to 331/2" (85.1 cm) by removing the

wheels from dishwasher.

**Minimum, measured from narrowest point

of opening.

A new drain hose is supplied with your dishwasher. If drain hose is not long enough, use a new drain hose with a maximum length of 12 ft (3.7 m) (Part Number 3385556) that meets all current AHAM/IAPMO test standards, is resistant to

heat and detergent, and fits the 1" (2.5 cm) drain connector of the dishwasher.

Make sure to connect drain hose to waste tee or disposer inlet above drain trap in house plumbing and 20" (50.8 cm)

minimum above the floor. It is recommended that the drain hose either be looped up and securely fastened to the

underside of the counter, or be connected to an air gap.

Make sure to use an air gap if the drain hose is connected to house plumbing lower than 20" (50.8 cm) above subfloor or

floor. Use 1/2"minimum I.D. drain line fittings. If required, the air gap should be installed in accordance with

the air gap installation instructions. When you are connecting the air gap, a rubber hose (not provided) will be needed to connect to the waste tee or disposer inlet.

Be sure that the electrical connection and wire size are adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA

70 - latest edition and all local codes and ordinances. A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:

National Fire Protection Association 1 Batterymarch Park

Quincy, MA 02269

You must have:

• 120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical supply.

• Copper wire only.

We recommend:

• A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.

• Aseparate circuit.

If connecting dishwasher with a power supply cord:

Use UL Listed power supply cord kit (Part Number 4317824) marked for

use with dishwasher. Power supply cord must plug into a grounded

3 prong outlet, located in the cabinet next to the dishwasher opening. Outlet must meet all

local codes and ordinances.

If connecting dishwasher with direct wiring:

• Use flexible, armored or nonmetallic sheathed, copper wire with

grounding wire that meets the wiring requirements for your home

and local codes and ordinances.

• Use a UL Listed/CSA Approved strain relief.

IMPORTANT: Always use a new drain hose. Check local codes to determine whether an air gap is required.

Slowly route water supply line through hole in cabinet. (If you are using copper tubing, it will bend and kink easily, so be gentle.) It should be far enough into the cabinet opening to connect it to the

dishwasher inlet on the front left side of the dishwasher.

Slowly turn water shutoff valve to "ON" position. Flush water into a shallow pan until clear to get rid of particles that could clog the

inlet valve. Turn shutoff valve to "OFF" position.

If needed, drill a 1V2"(3.8 cm) diameter hole in cabinet wall or side of the opening closest to the sink.

Route drain hose as shown through hole in cabinet to the front center of opening where drain connection will be made. Tape

drain hose to the floor in area shown. This will prohibit it from moving when dishwasher is moved into cabinet opening.
