Preparing Cabinet Opening
This dishwasher is designed to fit a standard dishwasher opening. An opening may be needed on both sides to route plumbing and electrical connections.
• To ensure proper drainage, install the dishwasher no more than 12 ft. (3.65 m) from the sink.
• The location must have sufficient space for the dishwasher door to open easily and provide at least 0.1” (2 mm) between the dishwasher and the cabinet sides.
• If installing the dishwasher in a corner, leave a minimum of 2” (50 mm) between the dishwasher and the adjacent wall.
• The adjacent wall must be free of obstructions.
• For flush installations only, you may remove the cabinet brace
a inside the cabinet.
Choosing the Proper Location
1 Select a location as close to the sink as
possible for easy connections to water supply line, drain hose and electrical connection.
2 To allow for proper clearance of plumbing
and electrical, use the template included with the literature to determine the clearance on the side of the cabinet where the cabinet meets the back wall. Using a 2 1/2” diameter hole saw, drill a hole in the target area as shown on the template.
• The opening must be at least 2 1/2" (63.5 mm) in diameter to prevent damage to the cables and hoses during installation.
• Installation damage is not covered by the warranty, and leaks caused by improper installation may result in property damage.
• Do not use existing holes unless they are in the target area.
• Failure to properly locate the hole for the water and drain lines may prevent the dishwasher from installing flush with the cabinets and could result in kinked, pinched, crushed, stressed or damaged lines.
