Dishwasher Safety

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."

These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow

instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

Tip Over Hazard

Do not use dishwasher until completely installed.

Do not push down on open door. Doing so can result in serious injury or cuts.

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

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.

HelpfuITip: 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

Electrical 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.

C_ ,_ air gap

o Use an air gap if the drain hose is connected to house

plumbing lower than 20" (50.8 cm) above subfloor or

floor.

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

Water Supply Requirements

oA hot water line with 20-120 psi (138-862 kPa) water

pressure.

o 120OF (49oC) water at dishwasher. o 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.RT. external pipe threads on one

end.

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

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:

o 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.

o 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-certifled 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.

Turn both front leveler legs to the same

height. If the minimum cutout height is less than

34" (86.4 cm), the rear wheels can be

removed for additional clearance.This will

Option 1: For models KUDP02FSPA, KUDS02FSPA, KUDU02FSPA

NOTE: The handle for the custom panel is not included. IMPORTANT: If the handle is attached from the back of the

custom panel, the screw holes should be countersunk for the screws heads to be flush with the panel. If the handle is attached to the front of the custom panel, the screw lengths cannot exceed the panel thickness. For more information on KitchenAid custom handle selection, refer to the KitchenAid Catalog, visit www.kitchenaid.com, or call 1-800-422-1230.

NOTE: A customer-supplied full front panel must weigh no more than 16 pounds (7.3 kg) and must be made to specific

dimensions. It is recommended that a cabinetmaker cut the custom panel because of the precise dimensions needed.

NOTE: All mounting hardware supplied is for a 3/4" (19.1 ram) thick wood panel, if a thinner wood panel, or

materials other than wood are used, it is the consumer's responsibility to obtain the proper length screws and adjust

the pilot holes accordingly. IMPORTANT: Use a moisture resistant sealer on both sides

and all edges of the panel to protect it from humidity.
