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.
WARNING: ELECTICAL SHOCK/ FIRE HAZARD - Heat from the hot water supply line can cause electrical cable’s insulation to break down, presenting risk of electrical shock or fire. Do not run the electrical supply cable and the hot water supply line 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 1-1/4” (32mm) for the dishwasher drain hose.

ELECTRICAL PREPARATION
WARNING: ELECTRICAL SHOCK 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.
WARNING: FIRE HAZARD - Improper electrical work can cause fire. Only qualified electricians should perform electrical 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
WARNING: SCALD HAZARD - Serious injury could result if work is performed on a pressurized hot water line. Only qualified plumbers should perform plumbing work. Do not attempt any work on the dishwasher hot water supply plumbing until you are certain the hot water supply is shut off.
CAUTION: Temperatures required for soldering and sweating will damage the dishwasher’s base and water inlet valve. If plumbing lines are to be soldered or sweated, keep the heat source at least 6 inches (152.4 mm) away from the dishwasher’s base and water inlet valve.
Hot Water Supply
It is recommended to set your hot water heater to deliver approximately 120° F (49° C) water to the dishwasher. Water that is too hot can cause some detergents to loose effectiveness. Water that is too cool will increase the dishwasher's run time.
The hot water supply pressure must be between 15 - 145 psi (1 - 10 bars).
Hot Water Supply Plumbing
Install an easily accessible shut-off valve (not supplied) 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 will 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 Plumbing
Dishwasher Connection Piece
If the dishwasher is to drain either directly into the household drain plumbing or through an air gap, install a dishwasher connection piece under the sink, as shown in Figure 8, letter A.

PLUMBING PREPARATION (continued)
Installing an Air Gap
If local ordinances require an air gap, as shown in Figure 9, letter B, install it according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Disposer
If a disposer is to be installed, as shown in Figure 10, letter C, install it according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Whether the disposer is newly installed or existing, remove the disposer’s dishwasher drain connection plug.
DISHWASHER PREPARATION
Dishwasher preparation involves four tasks:
•Installing the Mounting Brackets
•Removing the Toe Panel
•Installing the 90° elbow fitting
•Junction Box Preparation
Installing the Mounting Brackets
CAUTION: Before installing the supplied mounting brackets (letter E in the Materials Supplied section of this manual), decide which method of securing the dishwasher into its enclosure will be 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 holes 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.

DISHWASHER PREPARATION (continued)
Removing the Toe Panel
Regular Toe Panel
The toe panel is loosely attached with tape. Remove the tape and pull the toe panel away from the dishwasher. Set the toe panel aside. It will be reinstalled later.
Installing the 90° Elbow Fitting
NOTE: The 90° elbow fitting is not supplied with the dishwasher, and must be purchased separately (see Materials Needed section). If the dishwasher’s hot water supply line is to be copper tubing, make certain the elbow has a compression fitting.
Apply Teflon tape or other pipe sealant when required.
Orient the hot water supply connection leg of the elbow toward the channel opening in the dishwasher base.
NOTE: The white hose on the dishwasher's right side panel is a factory-installed vent hose, not to be confused with the gray drain hose. The vent hose requires neither repositioning nor connecting by the consumer.
Junction Box Preparation
1)Remove the junction box cover by removing the screw on the left side of the junction box, as shown in Figure 12, letter A, and lifting the junction box cover up and off.
2)Remove the strain relief plate by removing the screw at the back of the junction box, as shown in Figure 13, letter B and sliding the strain relief plate out.
3)Set the junction box cover, strain relief plate, and screws aside. They will be re-installed later.

PLACING THE DISHWASHER
1)Straighten and position the hot water supply line and the electrical supply cable as shown in Figure 14 so that they will align with their channels under the dishwasher base.
2)Position the dishwasher close enough to the enclosure so that you can run the dishwasher drain hose to the under-sink drain connection. Make certain that the hot water supply line and the electrical supply cable are in their channels under the dishwasher base, as shown in Figure 15, letter A.
3)Place the dishwasher directly in front of the enclosure.
4)Perform a level check as shown in Figure 15. Adjust the rear leveler by turning the center screw at the front of the dishwasher, as shown in Figure 16, letter B.
Turning the screw clockwise raises the rear of the dishwasher. Adjust the front levelers by turning them with a screwdriver, as shown in Figure 16, letter C. Turning the levelers to the right raises the dishwasher. If additional height is needed, shims may be added under the leveler feet.
5)Push the dishwasher into the enclosure.
