Location Requirements

Grounded electrical supply required. 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. Shelter 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 Number 4396277) is available

from your dealer for installing underneath the countertop.

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.)

Helpful Tip: Be sure to accurately measure dimensions and ensure dishwasher is level if the floor in the dishwasher opening is uneven (example: Flooring extends only partway into opening).

NOTE: To avoid 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 “Product and Cabinet Opening Dimensions” section.

Drain Requirements

■ A new drain hose is supplied with your dishwasher. If drain

hose is not long enough, use a new drain hose with a maximum length of 12 ft (3.7 m) (Part Number 3385556) 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.

■ Make sure to 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.

■ Make sure to 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.

■ If required, the air gap should be installed in accordance with

the air gap installation instructions. When you are connecting the air gap, a rubber hose (not provided) will be needed to connect to the waste tee or disposer inlet.

Electrical Requirements

Be sure that the electrical connection and wire size are adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 - latest edition and all local codes and ordinances.

A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:

National Fire Protection Association 1 Batterymarch Park Quincy, MA 02169-7471

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 connecting dishwasher with a power supply cord:

■ Use UL Listed power supply cord kit

(Part Number 4317824) marked for use with dishwasher.

■ Power supply cord must plug into a grounded

3 prong outlet, located in the cabinet next to the dishwasher opening. Outlet must meet all local codes and ordinances.

If connecting dishwasher with direct wiring:

■ Use flexible, armored or nonmetallic

sheathed, copper wire with grounding wire that meets the wiring requirements for your home and local codes and ordinances.

■ Use a UL Listed/CSA Approved strain relief.

Water Supply Requirements

■ A hot water line with 20 to 120 psi (138 to 862 kPa) water

pressure can be verified by a licensed plumber.

■ 120°F (49°C) water at dishwasher.

■ ³⁄₈" O.D. copper tubing with compression fitting or flexible

braided water supply line (Part Number 4396897RP). NOTE: ¹⁄₂" minimum plastic tubing is not recommended.

■ A 90° elbow with ³⁄₄" hose connection with rubber washer.

■ Do not solder within 6" (15.2 cm) of the water inlet valve.

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.

Prepare Cabinet Opening—Existing

Utilities

If the water line and the cable extend to the locations shown, proceed to the “Install Drain Hose” section. If they do not reach far enough, follow the instructions in the “Prepare Cabinet Opening— New Utilities” section.

Prepare Cabinet Opening—New

Utilities

Prepare and route the electrical supply

Option A, Power Supply Cord:

NOTE: A grounded 3 prong outlet is required inside a cabinet next

to the dishwasher cabinet opening.

Drill a 1¹⁄₂" (3.8 cm) hole in cabinet side or rear. See “Product and Cabinet Opening Dimensions” section.

Wood cabinet: Sand the hole until smooth. Metal cabinet: Cover hole with grommet included with power

supply cord kit.

Route cable from power supply through cabinet hole (cable must extend to the right front side of cabinet opening). Tape cable to the floor in area shown. This will prohibit cable from moving when dishwasher is moved into cabinet opening.

Option B, Direct Wire:

Helpful Tip: Wiring the dishwasher will be easier if you route the

cable into the cabinet opening from the right-hand side.

Drill a 1¹⁄₂" (3.8 cm) hole in right-hand cabinet side or rear. See “Product and Cabinet Opening Dimensions” section.

Prepare and Route Water Line

Helpful Tip: Routing the water line through the left side of cabinet

opening will make water connection easier.

Drill a ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) hole in the cabinet side or rear.

Wood cabinet: Sand the hole until smooth. Metal cabinet: Cover hole with grommet (Part Number 302797 -

not provided).

Measure overall length of copper tubing for the water supply line.

Attach the water supply line (copper tubing or flexible braided line) to the hot water line using a connection configuration that is in compliance with local codes and ordinances. The water supply to the dishwasher should have a manual shutoff valve located under the sink.

Slowly route water supply line through hole in cabinet. (If you are using copper tubing, it will bend and kink easily, so be gentle.) It should be far enough into the cabinet opening to connect it to the dishwasher inlet on the front left side of the dishwasher.

Route water line and tape it to the floor in area shown. This will keep it from moving when dishwasher is moved into cabinet opening.

Install Drain Hose

IMPORTANT: Always use a new drain hose. Check local codes to

determine whether an air gap is required.

If needed, drill a 1¹⁄₂" (3.8 cm) diameter hole in cabinet wall or side of the opening closest to the sink.

Slowly turn water shutoff valve to “ON” position. Flush water into a shallow pan until clear to get rid of particles that could clog the inlet valve. Turn shutoff valve to “OFF” position.

Route drain hose as shown through hole in cabinet to the front center of opening where drain connection will be made. Tape drain hose to the floor in area shown. This will prohibit it from moving when dishwasher is moved into cabinet opening.

IMPORTANT: The drain hose connection of the disposer or a waste tee must be made before the drain trap and at least 20" (50.8 cm) above the floor where the dishwasher will be installed.

Helpful Tip: To reduce vibration of the hose, keep the hose away from the floor.

NOTE: Do not plug into outlet until instructed to do so.

T20® screwdriver

Determine Cabinet Opening

Measure height of cabinet opening from underside of countertop to floor where dishwasher will be installed (you will need to measure the lowest point on the underside of the countertop and the highest point on the floor). Refer to “Dishwasher Height Adjustment Chart” for wheel position and the number of turns needed.

NOTE: If the minimum cabinet opening height is less than 34" (86.4 cm), the rear wheels can be removed for additional clearance. This will allow the dishwasher to fit into a 33⁷⁄₈" (86 cm) high cabinet opening, but the dishwasher will be more difficult to move. (Measurements are approximate. Wheels and legs are preset at the factory for 34¹⁄₂" [87.6 cm].)

Built-up floors: If the kitchen floor is higher than the cabinet opening's floor - for example, the kitchen floor tile does not extend into the cabinet opening - add shims as needed in the area shown to bring the dishwasher up to 34" (86.4 cm) below the countertop.

NOTE: Shims must be securely attached to floor to avoid movement when the dishwasher is in use.

Choose Attachment Option

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install dishwasher.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

Turn both leveler legs to the same height. Put wheels in the required position determined from “Dishwasher Height Adjustment Chart.” To change wheel position, use a flat-blade screwdriver to pop out the wheel, then snap into the new position.

Using 2 or more people, stand the dishwasher up. IMPORTANT: The dishwasher must be secured to the cabinet.
