For easy access to plumbing, it is most convement to have your dishwasher located near the kitchen sink. Any built-in dishwasher must be fully enclosed on the top, both sides, and the back. Therefore, the cabinet space

below your kitchen counter is probably the best location. If the dishwasher is being installed at the end of a cabinet or free standing then side panels and a wood top can be purchased from your KitchenAid dealer to enclose the dishwasher.

The cabinet opening (Fig. 1) should be square with dimensions as follows: Height - 3311/,6” (856 mm) to

35” (889 mm); Width - 24” (610 mm) minimum; Depth - 24” (610 mm) minimum. If the dishwasher height

of 33”/

panels are used, cabinet height should be 34%” (876 mm) minimum to 35” maximum using the adjusting legs.

To protect against possible rupture of the fill valve, water lines leading to the dishwasher, as well as water lines in the dishwasher MUST be protected against freezing. Such ruptures are not covered by the warranty.

Access holes in the cabmets, floor, or rear wall for the hot water supply line, drain line, and electrical supply must be located within the shaded area in Fig. 3 in order to avoid Interference with the dishwasher frame or other components.

PREPARING THE LOCATION

HOT WATER SUPPLY LINE

PLUMBING CONNECTIONS MUST COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE SANITARY, SAFETY, AND PLUMBING CODES.

Water supply should be 120°F (49OC) minimum at the dishwasher. (Refer to Use & Care Guide.) The hot water supply line should be 5%” (16 mm) OD copper tubing or

dishwasher fill valve has a l/z” (13 mm) NPT female connection. Atter determining where the water supply line will enter the dishwasher opening, drill a 1” (25 mm) access

hole and run the line to the approximate fill valve location as shown in Fig. 4.

For service convenience, a shut-off valve (not supplied) should be installed in the supply line in a readily accessible location (such as beneath the sink) and a union (not supplied) should be installed in the supply line near the dishwasher fill valve.

To prevent heat damage to the fill valve, ALL solder connections must be made BEFORE the water line is connected to the dishwasher.

DRAIN LINE

The drain line should be 9/,6” (14 mm) ID (minimum) flexible hose or 5,‘~” (16 mm) OD copper tubing. Flexible

hose must be resistant to heat and detergent and may be obtained from a plumbing, hardware, or automotive supply outlet. DO NOT use any fittings anywhere in the drain line that are less than

l/2”

(13 mm) ID. The

access hole for the drain line should be 1’ (25 mm). If drain line is copper, clamp a 12” (305 mm) length of g/

16” (14 mm) ID flexible hose (heat and detergent

resistant) to the end of the copper tubing. This will facilitate connection of the drain line to dishwasher check valve. If the drain line is going to be connected to a food waste disposer, BE SURE to remove the knockout or plug

from the fitting on the disposer before connecting drain line. Rubber adapter fitting may be required.

(KitchenAid part number 115739 or available from local hardware or plumbing stores.) Typical drain connections to sink plumbing are shown in Fig. 5 & 6.

FAILURE TO PROVIDE EITHER THE PROPER DRAIN CONNECTION HEIGHT (20” (508 mm) ABOVE FLOOR LEVEL) OR A 20” (508 mm) HIGH LOOP WILL RESULT IN IMPROPER DRAINING OF THE MACHINE WHICH MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE.

TO FORM THE HIGH LOOP TUBE, SEE INSET ON FIG. 7. MAKE SURE THAT NO KINKS DEVELOP IN THE HOSE OR COPPER TUBING.

PLACING THE DISHWASHER IN ITS LOCATION

The adjustable klckboard and lower panel (Fig. 9) must be removed for access to dishwasher connections. Remove the kickboard (5) by removing the two screws (one with lock washer) that secure it. Remove two screws (1) and

pull out the bottom of lower panel to unhook tabs (2) from frame. Remove the lower panel by pulling it downward tO slide panel flanges (3) from behind the support channel (4).

Set ?he dishwasher if-: front of the orepared cabinet opening and evenly adjust the four leveling feet to the desired herqh!

REAR CROSS CHANNEL ADJUSTMENT

Slide the dishwasher into the cabinet opening, being careful to avoid damage to the floor or interference with water, drain, and electrical lines. DO NOT remove the rear cross channel, unless there is an interference with the plumbing lines. In most cases, any plumbing interference can be eliminated by raising one side of the rear cross channel. (See

Fig. 10 for details.)

Unlatch and open the door and remove the foam shipping cushions from uppelr corners of the door. Check to ensure that cabinet clearance is equal on both sides of the dishwasher and that cabinet interference does not distort dishwasher tank.

With the door still open, place a spirit/bubble level against the front tank flange (Fig. 11) and level the dishwasher

front-to-back

and side-to-side by adjusting the leveling legs (Fig. 12) In or out as necessary.

If the dishwasher is not properly leveled or if it is distorted by cabinet interference, the door may not seal properly

and may leak. If necessary, the leveling leg may be further adjusted to correct any distortion and align tank for equal clearance on both sides (Fig. 12).
