Location Requirements

Do not run drain lines, water lines or electrical wiring where they can interfere with or contact dishwasher motor or legs.

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.

Protect dishwasher and water lines leading to dishwasher against freezing. Damage from freezing is not covered by the warranty.

A side panel kit is available from your dealer for installing your dishwasher at the end of your cabinetry.

A moisture barrier accessory (Part No. 4396277) is available from your dealer for installing underneath the countertop, but is not required. This may also be obtained by calling 1-800-422-1230.

Check location where dishwasher will be installed. The location must provide:

•easy access to water, electricity and drain.

•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.

•square opening for proper operation and appearance.

•cabinet front perpendicular to floor.

•level floor. (If floor at front of opening is not level with floor at rear of opening, shims may be needed to level dishwasher.)

NOTE: To prevent shifting during dishwasher operation, shims must be securely attached to the floor.

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.

Make sure pipes, wires and drain hose are within the shaded area shown in the “Cutout dimensions” section.

Helpful Tip: If the floor in the dishwasher opening is uneven (example: tile flooring only partway into opening) you will need to take special care in measuring dimensions and in leveling dishwasher.

Drain Requirements

•Use the new drain hose supplied with your dishwasher. If this is not long enough, use a new drain hose with a maximum length of 12 feet (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.

•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.

air gap

•Use an air gap if the drain hose is connected to house plumbing lower than 20" (50.8 cm) above subfloor or floor.

•Use 1/2" minimum I.D. drain line fittings.

Water Supply Requirements

•A hot water line with 20-120 psi (138-862 kPa) water pressure.

•120°F (49°C) water at dishwasher.

•3/8" O.D. copper tubing with compression fitting or flexible stainless steel braided fill line (1/2" minimum plastic tubing is not recommended).

•A 90° elbow with 3/8" N.P.T. external pipe threads on one end.

Do not solder within 6" (15.2 cm) from water inlet valve.

Electrical Requirements

Contact a qualified electrician.

Assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in conformance with all national and local codes and ordinances.

You must have:

•120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15 or 20 amp., fused electrical supply.

•Copper wire only.

We recommend:

•A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.

•A separate circuit.

If direct wiring dishwasher:

•Use flexible, armored or non-metallic sheathed, copper wire with grounding wire that meets the wiring requirements for your home and local codes and ordinances.

•Use strain relief method provided with house wiring junction box or install a U.L.-listed/CSA-certified clamp connector to the house wiring junction box. If using conduit, use a U.L.-listed/CSA-certified conduit connector.

If connecting dishwasher with a power supply cord:

•Use Power Supply Cord Kit (Part No. 4317824) marked for use with dishwashers. Kit contents include:

–Volex, Inc., UL listed 16 gauge 3 wire power supply cord with 3 prong grounded plug.

–Neer C-500 7/8 inch strain relief.

–3 wire connectors.

–Part No. 302797 grommet

Follow the kit instructions for installing the power supply cord.

•Power supply cord must plug into a mating three prong, grounded outlet, located in the cabinet next to the dishwasher opening. Outlet must meet all local codes and ordinances.

Installation Instructions

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

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.

1.Disconnect power.

2.Turn off water supply.

Prepare cabinet opening using existing utility hookups

•Follow the steps in this section if you are installing the dishwasher in an existing cabinet opening with utility hookups.

•If you are installing the dishwasher in a cabinet opening that does not have hookups, follow the steps under "Prepare cabinet opening where there are no existing utility hookups" section.

1.Check that the water line reaches to the front left of opening where the water connection will be made.

2.Check that the direct wire reaches to the front right of opening where the electrical

connection will be made.

	water	direct
	line	direct
	line	wire
		wire
		6" (15.2 cm)

If the water line and the direct wire reach far enough into the opening, proceed to the next section “Install the drain hose.“ If they do not reach far enough, follow the steps under “Prepare cabinet opening where there are no existing utility hookups.”

Install the drain hose

IMPORTANT: Always use a new drain hose even when installing a new replacement dishwasher.

1.Drill a 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) diameter hole in cabinet wall or floor on the side of the opening closest to the sink.

2.Connect drain hose to waste tee or waste disposer using one of the following methods:

•Option 1, Waste disposer – with air gap

•Option 2, No waste disposer – with air gap

•Option 3, Waste disposer – no air gap*

•Option 4, No waste disposer – no air gap*

*an air gap is recommended

Helpful Tip: To reduce the vibration of the hose, keep the hose away from the floor and the edge of the hole where it passes through the cabinet.

Option 1: Waste disposer – with air gap:

1.Remove the disposer knockout plug. Cut end of drain hose if needed (do not cut ribbed section).

2.Attach drain hose to air gap with large spring-type clamp. If the drain hose was cut, use a 1-1/2" to 2" (3.8 to 5 cm) screw-type clamp*.

3.Use a rubber hose connector* with spring or screw-type clamps* to connect air gap to disposer inlet.

This connection must be before the drain trap and at least 20" (50.8 cm) above the floor where dishwasher will be installed.
