IMPORTANT: Installer: Leave Installation Instructions with the homeowner. Homeowner: Keep Installation Instructions for future reference. Save Installation Instructions for local electrical inspector’s use.
Before you start...
Proper installation is your responsibility. Make sure you
have everything necessary for correct installation. It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to contact a qualified installer to assure that electrical and plumbing installation meet national and local codes and ordinances.
Check location where dishwasher will be installed. The location should provide :
l
Easy access to water, electricity
and drainage.
l
Convenient loading - the best position is left or right of kitchen sink.
l
Opening that is square for proper dishwasher operation and appearance.
l
Cabinet front that is perpendicular
to floor.
. Protection against freezing to
prevent the water inlet valve, water lines to dishwasher, water lines in dishwasher, and drain from rupturing. (Ruptures from freezing are not covered by the warranty.)
l
l/4” minimum clearance between
motor and flooring to prevent motor overheating.
Page 2
Electrical ground is required. See Electrical requirements.
DO NOT install dishwasher over
carpeted flooring.
Proper electrical, drain and water supply lines must be available or must be installed as specified within shaded area to prevent interference with dishwasher frame or other components. See Electrical, Water and Drain requirements. Plumbing and wiring should not cross in front of motor or dishwasher frame.

Electrical Shock Hazard
. Electrical ground is required
on this appliance.
l
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in electrical shock.
l
Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.
l
Disconnect power to the junction box.
. This appliance must be
connected to a grounded,
metallic, permanent wiring system, or a grounding
connector should be
connected to the grounding
terminal or wire lead on
the appliance.
l
Do Not have a fuse in
the neutral or grounding
circuit. This could result
in electrical shock.
l
Do Not use an extension
cord with this appliance. Such use may result in a fire, electrical shock or other
personal injury.
Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.
A single phase, 115volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 or 20 ampere, fused electrical supply is required. Time­delay fuse or circuit breaker
is recommended. It is recommended
that a separate circuit serving only
this appliance be provided.
It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to contact a qualified electrician to assure that the electrical installation is adequate and is in conformance with the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/ NFPA 70-latest edition and local
codes and ordinances. The dishwasher can be connected
with flexible armored or non-metallic
shealhed copper cable (with grounding wire).
A conduit connector must be installed at junction box. Wire sizes (COPPER WIRE ONLY) must conform with the rating of the dishwasher.
Alternate grounding method
If the recommended grounding method is impossible - connect a separate, green grounding wire (No.
16 minimum) from grounding
connection screw located inside the terminal box to a grounded, cold water pipe*. See Figure 3.

Flexible cord connection
Local codes may permit the use of a U.L.-listed, flexible, three-conductor
cord terminated with a three-prong,
grounding-type plug. It is
recommended that cord kit, Part No.
675456, available from your
KitchenAid dealer or parts supplier,
be used. If the cord kit is not
available locally, the flexible cord used must be a three-conductor, 16­gauge cord that meets the National
Electrical Code, ANSVNFPA 70­latest edition and local codes and
ordinances. The length of the cord
must not exceed six feet. It must be routed so it does not touch the
dishwasher motor or the lower
portion of the dishwasher tub. A
grommet (Par-l No. 302797) must
cover the hole cut in a metal cabinet for the flexible cord.
The flexible cord must be plugged into a mating three-prong, grounding-type wall
receptacle, grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSVNFPA 70.latest edition and
local ordinances. Follow instructions packaged with the flexible cord.

Water requirements

The hot water line to the dishwasher
must provide between 20-l 20 psi
water pressure. The hot water
heater should be set to deliver 120°F (minimum) water temperature
to the dishwasher (except as noted
in your Use and Care Guide) for best results.
Use l/2” O.D. copper tubing or 3/8” galvanized pipe inlet line. Dishwasher inlet valve has 3/8” internal pipe thread.
Drain requirements
Product Damage
9 The drain line connection to
the house plumbing must be a minimum of 20” above the floor. A lower drain connection may result in siphoning.
9 If the drain is routed to a
connection point less than 20” above the floor, the drain line must form a loop 20” above
the floor. See Figure 5,
Page 4.
l
Do Not kink hose and copper
tubing. Failure to provide either a 20” mlnlmum connection height or a 20” high loop will result in improper drainage and may cause product damage.
The drain hose should be 9/l 6” minimum ID flexible hose or 5/8” OD copper tubing. A minimum of 22” flexible drain hose or a 12”
length of copper drain line with 12” length of flexible hose added is needed. Flexible hose, resistant to heat and detergent, can be found at plumbing, hardware or automotive supply stores. Do Not use a drain line or fittings less than l/2” ID.
If drain line Is copper, clamp a 12” length of g/16” ID flexible, heat and detergent resistant hose to end of copper drain line to connect to dishwasher valve.
Page 3
Page 4
copper, the copper should be 12” plus a 12” length of flexible hose attached to the end.
Figure 5
If drain hose connection is less than 20” above the floor, the hose must form a loop using 38” OD copper tubing 20 inches above the floor. Make sure there are no kinks in the hose or copper tubing.
Product Damage
l
All solder connections must be made before the water line is connected to the dishwasher
to prevent damage to the inlet
valve.
‘0 Do Not solder within 6” of inlet
valve. The plastic part of the
1 water inlet valve could be
damaged.
Connect the air gap to a waste tee or disposer using a rubber connector. Most disposers have 7/8” connectors or special connectors are available at plumbing supply houses. Be sure to remove the disposer knockout or plug before connecting the drain hose.
Air-gap
Alternate methods:
se
tor
If connection to an air gap is required, air gap kits are available
from local plumbing sources.
Recommended methods:
Air-gap kit
Install air gap according to kit
instructions.
If local plumbing codes permit,
dishwasher drain hose may be connected directly to a waste tee or directly to a waste disposer.
The waste tee connection MUST be
made ahead of the trap and a minimum of 20 inches above the floor. Most disposers have 7/8” connectors or special connectors are available at plumbing supply houses. Be sure to remove the disposer plug before connecting the drain hose.
