Location Requirements
Dishwasher must be fully enclosed (top, sides, back, and floor)
upon installation. A side panel kit is available from your dealer for
installing your dishwasher at the end of your cabinetry.
An optional moisture barrier accessory is also available for
installing underneath a wooden countertop. See the “Tools and
Parts” section at the front of the guide for part details and orders.
Check location where dishwasher will be installed. The location
must provide:
■ 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.
■ Easy access to water, electricity and drain.
■ Grounded electrical supply required.
■ Make sure pipes, wires and drain hose are within the
shaded area shown in the “Product and Cabinet Opening
Dimensions” section.
■ Do not run drain lines, water lines or electrical wiring
where they can interfere with or contact dishwasher motor
or legs.
■ Shelter dishwasher and water lines leading to dishwasher
against freezing. Damage from freezing is not covered by
the warranty.
NOTE: 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.
■ A square opening for proper operation and appearance.
■ The cabinet front to be perpendicular to floor.
■ A level floor.
Helpful Hint: If floor at front of opening is not level with floor at
rear of opening, shims may be used to level dishwasher.
NOTE: To avoid shifting during dishwasher operation, shims
must be securely attached to the floor.
■ 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.

Drain Requirements
■ 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) 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. See the
“Tools and Parts” section at the front of the guide for part
details and orders.
■ 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.
Electrical Requirements
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 02169-7471
You Must H av e:
■ 120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical
supply.
■ Copper wire only.
■ A maximum of two field wiring supply conductors (12 AWG
largest size) plus one grounding conductor are permitted in
the terminal box.
We Recommend:
■ A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.
■ A separate circuit.
If Connecting Dishwasher With A
Power Cord:
■ Use UL Listed power cord kit marked
for use with dishwasher. See the
“Tools and Parts” section at the front
of the guide for part details and orders.
■ Power 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.
■ Make sure to use an air gap if the drain hose is connected to
house plumbing lower than 20" (50.8 cm) above sub floor or
floor.
■ 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.
■ Use ½" minimum I.D. drain line fittings
Water Supply Requirements
■ A hot water line with 20 to 120 psi (138 to 862 kPa) water
pressure can be verified by a licensed plumber.
■ 120°F (49°C) water at dishwasher.
■ ³⁄₈" O.D. copper tubing with compression fitting or flexible
braided water supply line. See the “Tools and Parts” section at
the front of the guide for part details and orders.
NOTE: ¹⁄₂" minimum plastic tubing is not recommended.
■ A 90° elbow with ³⁄₄" hose connection with rubber washer. See
the “Tools and Parts” section at the front of the guide for part
details and orders.
■ Do not solder within 6" (15.2 cm) of the water inlet valve.
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 metallic strain relief. See the
“Tools and Parts” section at the front of the guide for part
details and orders.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Disconnect electrical power at the fuse box or circuit
breaker box before installing dishwasher.
Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Prepare Cabinet Opening—
Existing Utilities
When removing a previous dishwasher, be sure to avoid
damaging the existing power cord, drain line, and water line
connected to the dishwasher.
If the water line and the cable extend to the locations shown,
proceed to the “Install Drain Hose” section. If they do not reach far
enough, follow the instructions in the “Prepare Cabinet Opening—
New Utilities” section.
Prepare Cabinet Opening—New Utilities
Prepare And Route The Electrical Supply
Option A, Power Cord:
NOTE: A grounded 3 prong outlet is required inside a cabinet next
to the dishwasher cabinet opening.
Drill a 1¹⁄₂" (3.8 cm) hole in cabinet side or rear. See the “Product
and Cabinet Opening Dimensions” section.
7
Wood cabinet: Sand the hole until smooth.
Metal cabinet: Cover edges of hole with grommet included with
power cord kit.
See the “Tools and Parts” section at the front of the guide for part
details.
Option B, Direct Wire
Helpful Tip: Wiring the dishwasher will be easier if you route the
cable into the cabinet opening from the right-hand side.
Drill a 1¹⁄₂" (3.8 cm) hole in right-hand cabinet side or rear.
See the “Product and Cabinet Opening Dimensions” section.
Route cable from power supply through cabinet hole (cable must
extend to the right front side of cabinet opening). Tape cable to
the floor in area shown. This will prohibit cable from moving when
dishwasher is moved into cabinet opening.
Prepare and Route Water Line
Helpful Tip: Routing the water line through the left-hand side of
cabinet opening will make water connection easier.
Drill a ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) hole in the cabinet side or rear.
Wood cabinet: Sand the hole until smooth.
Metal cabinet: Cover edges of hole with a grommet.
See the “Tools and Parts” section at the front of the guide for part
details.
8
If using copper tubing, measure overall length of copper tubing
required to reach the water supply, cut to length and attach
compression fittings.
If using flexible braided line, confirm braided line is of adequate
length. See the “Tools and Parts” section at the front of the guide
for part details and orders.
