In addition to these instructions, the
dishwasher shall be installed:
• In accordance with all local codes or, in
absence of a local code,
• In the United States, with the national
Electric Code,
• In Canada, with the Canadian Electric
Code C22.1-latest edition/Provincial and
Municipal codes and/or local codes.
When installing the dishwasher, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
• The dishwasher should only be converted
from cord-connected to permanently
connected by an authorized service
representative.
• Installation and repair should be
performed by a qualified installer. Work by
unqualified persons could be dangerous
and may void the warranty.
Read these installation instructions
completely before installing and follow
them carefully. Save these installation
instructions and pass them on to any
future user.
IMPORTANT– Please Read and Follow

IMPORTANT4– Please Read and Follow
• DO NOT operate the appliance if
damaged, malfunctioning, partially
disassembled, or if it has missing or
broken parts.
• Also follow the safety instructions of the
use and care guide.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or
injury to persons, the installer must ensure
that the dishwasher is completely
enclosed at the time of installation.
• Only connect the dishwasher to the power
supply when all installation and plumbing
work is complete.
• If the dishwasher is installed in a location
that experiences freezing temperatures
(e.g. in a vacation home, cabin, etc.), you
must drain all the water from the
dishwasher’s interior. Water system
ruptures that occur as a result of freezing
are not covered by warranty.
• Dishwasher must be secured to adjacent
cabinetry using the brackets provided.
Failure to do this may cause damage to
property or bodily injury.
• Connect to a properly rated, protected,
and sized power supply circuit to avoid
electrical overload. The dishwasher is
designed for an electrical supply of 120V
(volts), 60Hz (hertz), AC, connected to a
dishwasher-dedicated, properly grounded
electrical circuit with a fuse or breakers
rated for 15 amperes. Electrical supply
conductors shall be a minimum of #16
AWG copper wire rated at 167°F (75°C) or
higher. These requirements must be met
to prevent injury and machine damage.
Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
• DO NOT use any extension cord or
portable outlet device to connect the
dishwasher to a power supply.
• Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags,
small pieces, etc., are disposed of safely
and kept out of the reach of children.
Danger of suffocation!
• Remove the dishwasher door when
removing an old dishwasher from service
or discarding it. Ensure that the appliance
presents no danger to children while
being stored for disposal.
• Old appliances may contain materials that
can be recycled. Please contact your local
recycling authority about the possibility of
recycling these materials.
Installation should be performed by an
insured licensed plumber, contractor,
or trained installer. Installation
performed by persons other than this
could result in improper installation
and property damage.
• The dishwasher drain hose must be
installed with a drain loop at least 28”
(710mm) off the cabinet floor; otherwise
the dishwasher may not drain properly.
• This dishwasher is intended for residential
use only and should not be used in
commercial establishments.
• New Installation: If the dishwasher is a
new installation, most of the work must be
done before the dishwasher is moved into
place.
• Replacement: If the dishwasher is
replacing another dishwasher, check the
existing dishwasher connections for
compatibility with the new dishwasher,
and replace parts as necessary.
