DRAIN AIR GAP KIT (Accessory)

This accessory protects against a siphoning of water back into the dishwasher tub. It also
prevents a back-up of food waste into the dishwasher due to a plugged drain line.

When the drain hose is connected to an air gap, remove the hose from the side of the tub and
route it on a continuous incline from the pump to the air gap. (Coil excess hose and place it

in a safe place, perhaps under the dishwasher.)

If another type of air gap is required, such as to drain into the sink or for mounting behind
the back splash or into a wall, it should be purchased through a local plumbing source.

DOOR SPRING ADJUSTMENT

The door has two main springs, one located on each spring. There are two slots on each
hinge that allow for door adjustment.

To change door spring tension, use the I/4" hex-nut driver to either loosen or tighten a single
screw located on each door spring adjustment bracket. The spring adjust brackets are located

on either side of the dishwasher frame. These brackets stretch the springs by sliding forward
and back along the dishwasher frame.

To increase spring tension: tighten each of the screws by turning clockwise.

To decrease spring tension: loosen each of the screws by turning counter-clockwise.

DOOR AND ACCESS PANELS

Many dishwasher models come with pre-installed panel(s) with reversible insert(s), Some

panels are available as an accessory. SEE User's Guidefor information on changing panel

colors and for installing Decorator Inserts.

INSTALLATION

CAUTION: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER BEFORE YOU START.

START HERE...

1, Prepare the dishwasher cabinet opening. Rough in the water line to the dishwasher

cabinet opening using one of the routing methods shown. A 5/8" to 1" diameter hole in the
cabinet wall or floor is sufficient. On models including a power cord, the cord will extend 4

feet from the back of the dishwasher.

NOTE: A shut-off valve in an accessible location on the water line is recommended. Flush
the water line prior to connecting to the dishwasher.

Through a separate hole located in the cabinet wall or floor, route electrical line. See Elec-

trical Requirements Section for details.

Prepare an opening in the cabinet opening for the drain line.

2. Position the dishwasher in front of the cabinet opening. Insert the drain hose into the ,,
hole in the cabinet wall. Begin to push the dishwasher back into the cabinet opening,

pulling the drain hose through the hole as you proceed.

With the dishwasher half way into the cabinet opening, make the required drainconnection or
position the drain hose for later connection. NOTE: If necessary, the support bar can be

removed for installation. But it must be reinstalled.

3. Slide the dishwasher back in the cabinet opening. Position the dishwasher front flush '"

with the cabinets.

Slide the drain hose through the hole in the cavity. Prevent it from kinking.

LEVEL DISHWASHER .... The front legs align the front of the dishwasher vertically and

horizontally with the cabinet opening. The rear legs level the unit front to back and position
the mounting brackets.

A combination of the two adjustments are necessary to properly position the dishwasher, and

to insure proper fit of the door and latch. Disregard the square of cabinets - be sure the
dishwasher is level and solid. I.-

NOTE: With the door open use a level across the door and level horizontally.

After leveling is completed, shim any gap between the mounting brackets and countertop.
Place shims between the countertop and dishwasher mounting brackets in the proper place so

the mounting brackets can be anchored to the countertop without twisting the tub. Trim
strips may be used on the sides if the cabinet space is not square to give the installation a fin-

ished appearance.

Open the door by lifting the latch. Make pilot holes in underside of counter and drive the
wood screws, provided in the accessory package, through the holes in the mounting bracket.

It may be necessary to provide an additional anchoring source for the mounting screws.
Where this is necessary, attach a mounting strip to the cabinet frame work.

4. With the dishwasher now in permanent position, connect the drain hose to the drain.

IMPORTANT: NEVER CUT THE CORRUGATED PORTION OF THE DRAIN HOSE.
All connections must be made on the rubber pomon of the drain hose. This hose can be sized

to fit any 5/8", 3/4" or 1" diameter connection. Cut the end at the pre-marked line as
required.

Routing of the drain hose is most important to insure satisfactory operation. NOTE: We do
not recommend that the drain line be extended beyond the7 feet of hose provided. However,

should this be necessary, it must always be attached to a line of larger inside diameter. DO
NOT route the house across the top of the tub. If a rubber hose is used as an extension to the
corrugated drain hose, all bends must be gradual to prevent kinking or collapsing of the hose.

The hose must be guided as the dishwasher is pushed intoplace in the cabinet.

IMPORTANT: The hose may change position even after installation. To insure proper

operation, secure the hose to either side of the wall of the cavity, or to the tub with the hose

hook to assure a 32" loop. Make certain there are no kinks.

IMPORTANT: Do not attach the drain hose to any connection of smaller than 1/2" I.D.

From the 32" high drain loop as previously described, the drain hose can be routed and
attached to any type of drain source such as a disposer, branch tailpiece, separate trap, etc. in
accordance with local and national plumbing codes.

5. With the water line flushed, connect the water supply line to the water valve and
tighten the fitting.

WATER HOOK-UP...To make the water connection, attach a 3/8" male compression or

flare elbow to the water valve andconnect to the incoming line, either 3/8 _ or 1/2_ O.D.

copper tubing. When installing the elbow to the water valve, thread sealing tape or pipe

threadcompound should be used. IMPORTANT: DO NOT connect a sweat _pe fitting

directly to the water valve as the required heat will damage the water valve.
