13INSTALLATION

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 inside the cabinet.

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.
