Cabinet Preparation
Prepare cabinet as needed. Electrical and water facilities should enter cabinet opening on the floor, or through the
back or side walls, as shown in the shaded portion of the drawing. Preferred drain outlet is shown in the lower
portion of the cabinet in drawing below. Care should
be taken to route plumbing away from the motor.
DO NOT make connections until dishwasher is in
position. Care should be taken to make sure cabinet
holes for power cord and hoses have no sharp edges.
CUSTOM PANELS AVAILABLE
Dishwashers come with pre-installed panels.
Custom panels are available; stainless steel and

Water Valve Preparation
Install a 90° elbow (3/8” N.P.T) fitting into the water valve using Teflon™
tape or pipe thread compound. The opposite end of the fitting should fit
in-coming hot water supply line. Position the end of the elbow towards
the rear of the dishwasher.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT connect a sweat type fitting directly to the water
valve as the required heat will damage the water inlet valve. Do not solder
within 6” (15.2 cm) from the water valve.

TIP: may warn to gently lay the dishw.isher on it'-: b.ick to aid iiist.ilhition uf'ihe w.itir \alvc fitting.
Drain Hose Preparation
IMPORTANT: Routing of the drain hose is most important to insure satisfactory operation. It is not
recommended to extend drain line beyond T (2.1m). However, should this be necessary, it must always
be attached to a line of larger inside diameter. An accessory drain hose extension kit (#904204) is available
through your authorized dealer. DO NOT route drain hose across the top of the tub, all bends must be
gradual to prevent kinking or collapsing of the hose.
IMPORTANT: Do not attach the drain hose to any connection smaller than 1/2” I.D.
IMPORTANT: Never cut the corrugated portion of the drain hose. All connections
must be made to rubber portions of drain hose. If cutting of drain hose is required do
not cut past the 5/8” line. . , . , .
Refer to diagram A for the following
O Route the small rubber end of drain hose thru 1-1/4” diameter hole in cabinet into dishwasher opening.
® Route the multi flex end of drain hose to achieve a minimum height of 32” from the finished floor and
attach to existing drain line*. The retainer clip and screw (provided), should be used to secure the drain hose, to
maintain it’s routing at a 32” height.
Diagram A
* In accordance with national
and local codes.

The tub side trim may be positioned and/or trimmed to fill gap.
Securing the Dishwasher
Make pilot holes in the underside of counter and drive wood screws, provided in
the accessory package, through holes in the dishwasher mounting bracket. If part
of the bracket extends beyond the cabinet front, they may be trimmed with wire
cutters, provided sufficient material is left to support dishwasher mounting.
О
Note: Dishwasher must be secured properly to countertop to avoid tipping when
the door is open and to prevent the tub from twisting.
Solid Surface Mounting:
It may be necessary to provide an additional anchoring source for mounting screws. Wood strips across the top of
the dishwasher opening can be used for solid surface or granite type counters to secure the dishwasher.

® Strip approximately 3/8” (.09 cm) of insulation from incoming power
supply wires. Connect these wires to wires from dishwasher wire harness
located in the terminal box. Connect wires using the appropriate size wire
nuts, twisting and tightening securely over the wire connections. Connect
white to white and black to black.
