ENCLOSURE PREPARATION

NOTE: The dishwasher is designed to be enclosed on
the top and both sides by standard residential kitchen
cabinetry.
Select a location as close to the sink as possible for
easy access to water supply and drain lines.
For proper dishwasher operation and appearance,
ensure that the enclosure is square and has the
dimensions shown in Figure 2.
if the dishwasher is to be installed in a corner, make
sure that there is adequate clearance to open the
door, as shown in Figure 3, letter A.

WARNmNG: ELECTmCAL SHOCK/

FIRE HAZARD o Heat from the hot
water supply Hne can cause e_ectrica_

cable's insulation to break down, preo
senting risk of e_ectrica_ shock or fire.

Do not run the e_ectrica_ supply cable
and the hot water supply Hne where

they can make contact with each other.

if the enclosure requires openings for the electrical
supply cable, hot water supply line, and dishwasher
drain hose, place them within the dimensions shown
by the shaded area of Figure 4 to avoid interference
with the dishwasher frame or other components.
Make the openings for the electrical supply cable and
hot water supply line 1" (25.4mm) diameter. Make the
opening for the dishwasher drain hose 1-1/4" (32mm)
diameter, if the openings are made through wood,
sand them smooth, if the openings are made through
metal, make them large enough to accomodate
grommets or other protective sheaths with inside
diameters of 1" (25.4mm) for the electrical supply
cable and the hot water supply line, and 1ol/4"
(32ram) for the dishwasher drain hose.

HAZARD - Working on an energized
circuit could result in serious injury or
death. Only qualified electricians should
perform electrical work. Do not attempt

any work on the dishwasher electric
supply circuit until you are certain the

circuit is de-energized.

WARNmNG: FIRE HAZARD - ram-

Only qualified electricians should per-

form e_ectrica[ work.

Electrical Supply

The customer has the responsibility of ensuring that the
dishwasher electrical installation is in compliance with

all national and local electrical codes and ordinances.
The dishwasher is designed for an electrical supply of

120V, 60 Hz, AC, connected to a dishwasher-dedicated,
properly grounded electrical circuit with a fuse or breaker
rated for 15 amps. If the dishwasher is connected with a
food disposer, a 20 amp (and no higher) fuse or circuit
breaker may be used. Electrical supply conductors shall
be a minimum #14 AWG copper wire.
Regardless of where the electrical supply cable enters
the enclosure (following the guidelines on page 9),
position the cable 21" (533mm) from the enclosure's left
side, as shown in Figure 5, letter A so that it will line up
properly with its channel in the dishwasher base when
the dishwasher is placed in its enclosure. Extend the
cable 30" (762mm) from the enclosure's back, as shown
in Figure 5, letter B.

Remove 3" - 4" (75mm - 100mm) of the cable's outer
casing, as shown in Figure 6, letter C, then remove 3/8"

- 1/2" (9 - 13mm) of insulation from each conductor, as
shown in Figure 6, letter D.

PLUMBING PREPARATION

CAUTmON: Temperatures required for
so{dering and sweating will damage the

dishwasher's base and water inlet valve.

ff p{umbing lines are to be soldered or

sweated, keep the heat source at _east 6

inches (152.4 ram) away from the

dishwasher's base and water in_et valve.

Hot Water Supply

it is recommended to set your hot water heater to

deliver approximateUy 120° F (49° C) water to the
dishwasher, Water that is too hot can cause some

detergents to bose effectiveness, Water that is too
cooUwHUincrease the dishwasher's run time,

The hot water supply pressure must be between 15 -

145 psi (1 - 10 bars),

Hot Water Supply P_umbing

Install an easily accessible shut-off valve (not sup=
plied) in the hot water supply line, as shown in Figure
7, letter B,

All solder connections must be made before the water
line is connected to the dishwasher's water inlet valve,

Water may also be supplied to the dishwasher by
using a braided hose line, Check with your local
plumbing supply sources for the proper hose and 90°
elbow fitting,

Regardless of where the hot water supply line enters
the enclosure (following the guidelines on page 9),
position the line 14" (355mm) from the enclosure's left
side, as shown in Figure 7, letter A so that it wiii line
up properly with its channel in the dishwasher base
when the dishwasher is placed in its enclosure, Make
certain that the hot water supply line will not make
contact with the electric power supply line,

Drain P_umbing

DISHWASHER PREPARATION

Dishwasher preparation involves four tasks:
o Installing the Mounting Brackets

oRemoving the Toe Panel

Installing the 90 ° elbow fitting

Junction Box Preparation

hstaHing the Mounting Brackets

CAUTION: Before installing the supplied
mounting brackets (metter E in the Materials
Supplied section of this manual), decide
which method of securing the dishwasher

into its encmosure wHmbe used. Once the
mounting brackets are installed on the

dishwasher, removing them is difficult and
will damage the mounting brackets and the

dishwasher.
The dishwasher can be secured into its enclosure in

two ways:

1)Top Mount is used for countertops made of wood
or other materials that can be easily drilled, Orient
the mounting brackets as shown in Figure 11, letter
A, and position the two small tabs on the mounting

brackets over the two slots on the dishwasher's front
corners, Push the mounting brackets down firmly to

insert the tabs into the slots.

2) Side Mount is used for countertops made of
marble, granite, or other very hard materials that
cannot be easily drilled. Bend the mounting brackets
along the small hobs and in the same direction as
the two small tabs. Orient the mounting brackets as
shown in Figure 11, letter B, and position the two
small tabs on the mounting brackets over the two

slots on the dishwasher's front corners. Push the
mounting brackets down firmly to insert the tabs into

the slots.
