(Specifications for FDB200/DFB450E Models)
(Installation Option)
Have the overlay panel constructed per
dimensions. The panel thickness MAY NOT
exceed 5/8” (1.6 cm) for flush installation in most
cabinets. Ensure that the design, construction,
and installation of the panel overlay and its
handle mounting is sufficient to reliably operate
in this application with a maximum panel weight
of 18 lbs. (8.2 kg.) Custom panels should not
exceed 18 lbs. (8.2 kg.)
Obtain four screws with the proper thread type
for the overlay material chosen. The screws
MUST BE #8 flat head, 1-3/4” long and MUST
BE stainless steel to avoid corrosion.
If dishwasher has a metal door skin installed,
remove the four screws. DO NOT remove any
other fasteners and ensure that only the proper
screws are removed.
Carefully tighten each screw to secure the
overlay and check to ensure that the overlay is
square with the dishwasher door and cabinet
opening and that the panel doesn’t interfere
with the operation of the dishwasher.
Verify operation of the door counter balance
springs after installation of the overlay panel.
The additional weight of the overlay panel might
require an adjustment to the preload of the
counterbalance springs. If adjustment of the
springs is required, please refer to the “Counter
Balance Spring” section.
To remove face panel of dishwasher remove only the
4 Phillips screws - do not remove any other fasteners.
Position custom face panel on front of dishwasher.
NOTE: Back side of panel shown. Use caution not to drill through front of panel.

Use non-marring clamps to hold custom panel in place.
Secure with #8 1-3/4”(4.5 cm) long, stainless steel flat
head screws.

General Information
WARNING
CAUTION
General Information
• Read these instructions carefully and
completely before installing the dishwasher.
The installation should be carried out by a
qualified installer, who is familiar with all
local codes and ordinances for electrical
and plumbing connections. If the
dishwasher is being installed for the first
time, most of the work has to be done
before you move it into place. If you are
replacing an old dishwasher, you must
check the old connections.
• Electrical requirements are listed in the
“Specifications” section.
Site Preparation
NOTE: It is recommended that a thorough
site inspection be conducted PRIOR to
unpacking and moving this appliance.
• After determining where the water
supply line will connect to the
dishwasher, provide a 2” (5.1 cm) access
hole and run the line to the approximate
fill valve location. Sealing access area
once lines are in place is recommended.
• Confirm available access to adequate power.
Water Supply
Plumbing connections must comply with
applicable sanitary, safety, and plumbing
codes.
• Water pressure for the water supply should
be a minimum of 10 to 125 psi. The
dishwasher is supplied with a 5’ (1.5 m)
braided stainless steel water line with 3/8”
(0.95 cm) compression fitting connected to
dishwasher.
• After determining where the water supply
line will connect to the dishwasher, provide
a 2” (5.1 cm) access hole and run the water
supply line to the approximate fill valve
location.
• For service convenience, a shut-off valve
(not supplied) should be installed in the
supply line in a readily accessible location
(such as beneath the sink).
• It is recommended that the dishwasher
be connected to a hot water supply. Only
the 325E or 450E models can be connected
to the cold water supply. Cycle times will
increase.
•
It is important that the water supply line and
the shut-off valve have a sufficient flow
volume. Flush the supply line prior to
connecting it to the intake line of the
dishwasher.
• Make sure the connection is sealed and not
leaking before completing the installation.
Drain
• The access hole for the drain line should be
2” square (5.1 cm). Locate as low and as
near to the back wall as possible.
• Do not use any fittings anywhere in the drain
line that are less than 1/2” (1.3 cm) ID.
• If the drain line is going to be connected to
a food waste disposer, be sure to remove
the knockout or plug from the fitting before
connecting drain line.
• Drain connection should be a minimum of 9”
(22.9cm) from the floor. If connection is
lower, siphoning during cycle can occur.
The dishwasher has a factory installed
backflow preventer. Do Not add an additional
check valve.
NOTE: The end of the drain hose is
1” (2.5 cm), but is adjustable to 3/4” (1.9 cm) or
5/8” (1.6 cm). If the drain connection is smaller
than 1” (2.5 cm), the hose can be cut to fit the
connection.
NOTE: Be sure to run the drain line through
the hole to the sink compartment before
moving the dishwasher into place.
Electrical Connections
Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. In the
event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of electric
shock by providing a path of least resistance
for electric current. This appliance is
equipped with a cord having an equipmentgrounding conductor and a grounding plug.
NOTE: For certain models, a power cord will
have to be purchased separately. The plug
must be plugged into an appropriate outlet
that is installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
Disconnect the electrical power supply and
place a tag at the disconnect switch
indicating that you are working on the
circuit.
Grounding Instructions if Hardwired:
This appliance must be connected to a
grounded metal, 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.
• For a cord connected undercounter
dishwasher:
1. The power supply receptacle for the
appliance should be installed in a
cabinet or on a wall adjacent to the
under counter space in which the
appliance is to be installed;
2. There should be an opening through
the partition between the
compartments mentioned in Item (1),
that is large enough for the attachment
plug to pass through. The longest
dimension of the opening shall not be
more than 1-1/2” (38 mm).
3. The edges of the opening mentioned
in Item (2) should, if the partition is
wood, be smooth and rounded or, if
the partition is metal, be covered with
the grommet provided for this purpose
by the manufacturer; and
4. Care should be exercised, when the
appliance is installed or removed to
reduce the likelihood of damage to the
power supply cord.
• The dishwasher comes with a 3’9” (1.1 m)
electrical cord for 110-120 volts, 15/20
amp supply. This cord should be plugged
into the 110-120 volt outlet located under
the sink. NOTE: For certain models, a
power cord will have to be purchased
separately.
• If the cord is not long enough or if a hard
wire installation is needed, follow the
instructions in the “Hardwire” section.
NOTE: Access holes should be 2” square
(5.1 cm) with no sharp edges.
• In a hardwire installation, use only copper
supply conductors. The conductors should
have a minimum temperature rating of
194° F (90° C).
Be sure electrical power is turned off at
circuit breaker or fuse box before servicing
or installing unit. Do not use an extension
cord for this appliance.
Improper connection of the equipment –
grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or serviceman if you are in
doubt as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the appliance; if it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.
