Read all instructions before using the appliance.
Install and store the dishwasher inside, away from exposure to weather.
CAUTION
• Do not install the dishwasher near electrical components. Keep the dishwasher away
from open ames.
• Do not install the dishwasher on a carpet as this is a re hazard.
Safety instructions
• Do not install the dishwasher in a location where the water may freeze (where the
temperature falls below 32 °F (0 °C)). Frozen water in the hoses or pipes may damage
the dishwasher.
• As with all equipment using electricity, water, and moving parts, potential hazards
exist. To safely operate this appliance, become familiar with its operation and exercise
care when using it.
The dishwasher must be properly grounded. Never connect it to an ungrounded outlet.
Prior to removal of original dishwasher and the installation of your new unit, make
sure to switch off your circuit breaker. Do not connect the dishwasher until you have
completed the installation. Connecting the power cable is the last step when installing the
dishwasher.
All wiring and grounding must be done in accordance with the electrical code applicable
to the region.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For a permanently connected appliance:
This appliance must be connected to grounded metal, a permanent wiring system, or an
equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to
the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.
The dishwasher is very heavy. Do not attempt to move or carry a dishwasher alone. Two
or more people are needed to move a dishwasher and avoid potential injuries.
CAUTION
• If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, a service
agent or similarly qualied person in order to avoid a hazard.
• Do not touch the power cable with wet hands.
• Do not connect another appliance to the same power outlet as the dishwasher.
Make sure to use a new water supply line. Old lines are susceptible to breakage because
they become hardened and may cause property damage due to a water leakage.
The dishwasher must be connected to a hot water supply with a temperature between
120 °F (49 °C)~149 °F (65 °C). This temperature range provides the best washing result
and shortest cycle time. Temperature should not exceed 149 °F (65 °C) to prevent damage
to dishes.
Ensure that the water supplied to the dishwasher does not freeze. Frozen water can
damage the hoses, valves, pump, or other components.
Certied residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments.

Safety instructions
Electric Shock Hazard
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, re, or electric
shock:
• Electrically ground the dishwasher
• Connect the ground wire to the green ground connector in the junction
box.
• Do not use an extension cord.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, re, or injury to persons, the installer
must ensure that the dishwasher is completely enclosed at the time of
installation.
Be sure that you or your installer follow these instructions closely so that the new
dishwasher works properly and that you are not at risk of injury when washing dishes.
STEP 1 Check the parts and tools
Before starting on the installation, prepare all the necessary tools and parts required to

For the hot water supply line – We strongly recommend using 3/8" minimum O.D. copper
tubing with a compression tting or a exible stainless steel braided hot water supply
line.
[Warning: Do not use plastic tubing. Plastic tubing can deteriorate over time and cause a
leak inside the tube tting.]

You also need a 90° Fitting with
/4" N.P.T. external pipe threads on one end and a tting
sized to t your hot water supply line (copper tubing/compression tting or braided hose)
on the other.
For the power cable, we recommend a jacketed 12-2 cable with ground. Note that some
local codes may require the cable to have a BX style metal jacket.
If the dishwasher is a new installation, most of the installation work must be done before
the dishwasher is moved into place.
Replacement
If the dishwasher is replacing an old dishwasher, you must check the exising dishwasher
connections for compatibility with the new dishwasher. Repace the existing connections
as necessary.
STEP 2 Select the best location for the dishwasher
The following criteria are important to ensure the best location for the dishwasher:
• The location must have a solid oor that is able to support the weight of the
dishwasher.
• The location must be near a sink with easy access to the water supply, drain, and
electrical outlet.
NOTE
For the drain to operate properly, the dishwasher should be installed within 9.8 ft (3 m)
of the sink.
• The location must let you load your dishes into the dishwasher easily.
• The location must have sufcient space for the dishwasher door to open easily and
provide enough space between the dishwasher and the cabinet sides (at least 0.1 in
(2 mm)).
Installation
NOTE
If the dishwasher is installed in a corner, ensure that the side of the dishwasher is more
than 2 in. (50 mm) from the wall or cabinet to its right or left.
• The wall at the back must be free of obstructions.
• Make sure the cabinet for the dishwasher is secured to the oor. If the cabinet is not
secured, it may increase noise when the dishwasher is operating.
If this is a new installation, follow these steps:
1. Using a 21/2 inch hole saw, cut a hole into the side of the cabinet that holds the sink as
shown in Figure 1-1 below.
2. If the base inside the sink cabinet is raised above the kitchen oor and is higher than the
connections on the dishwasher, make a hole in the base inside the cabinet and in the cabinet
side as shown in Figure 1-2.
NOTE
Depending on where your electrical outlet is, you may need to cut a hole in the opposite
cabinet side.
Figure 1-1
Installation
Make sure the cabinet hole is smoothened before you insert the drain hose through the
hole. A sharp edge of the cabinet hole may cause damage to the drain hose, resulting in a
leak of the hose.
