Water Supply Requirements

For dishwasher:

■ Hot water line with 4.3-145 psi (30-1000 kPa) water pressure.

■ 120°F (48.8°C) water at dishwasher.

■ An easily accessible valve with 3/8" compression fitting must

be installed in the hot water supply line.

Electrical Requirements

A 120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15 amp fused electrical supply is required. (Circuit breaker or time-delay fuse is recommended.) It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

• For a grounded, cord-connected dishwasher:

The dishwasher must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. The dishwasher is equipped with a cord having an equipment-ground conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt whether the dishwasher is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the dishwasher; if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

• For a permanently connected dishwasher:

The dishwasher must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the dishwasher.

(50.5 cm)

25 ¹³⁄₃₂"

(64.5 cm)

■ A 3 prong grounded outlet must be installed within 6" (15.2 cm)

to 18" (45.7 cm) to either side of the utility hole in the cabinet side wall. The power outlet must be accessible after installation.

■ It is recommended that wood cabinetry surrounding the

dishwasher be sealed with an oil-based paint or moistureproof polyurethane to prevent possible damage from humidity.

■ A utility hole that will be used to route the power supply cord

and hoses must be located as shown. If the hole is not located as shown, the hoses will prevent the dishwasher from being pushed back all the way into the cavity. Make sure the edges of the utility hole are smooth or covered. If the utility hole is through a metal cabinet, the hole must be protected with the edge protector provided.

IMPORTANT: Custom wood door panel, if used, may be wider than the dishwasher to match surrounding cabinets. The 23⁵⁄₈" (60.0 cm) must be increased so that there is a ³⁄₃₂" (2.5 mm) clearance between the cabinet side and panel edge.

■ Build the custom cabinet to the size and specifications

shown, with a minimum thickness of cabinet/cavity sides of

⁵⁄₈” (1.6 cm).

■ For corner installation, there must be a ¹⁄₂" (12.7 mm) space

between the adjacent cabinet doors (i.e. door knobs) and open dishwasher drawer.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

Garbage Disposer:

If you plan to install a garbage disposer, an additional separate 120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15 or 20 amp fused electrical supply is required.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare Cabinet Opening

1. Prepare the cabinet opening by applying self-adhesive moisture protection tape to the dry dust-free underside of the countertop.

5. If using the factory-installed power cable and plug, go to “Electrical connection” section, Option: 1: Power Supply Cord Method.

If direct wiring the dishwasher, go to “Electrical connection” section, Option: 2: Direct Wiring Method.
