Do not run drain lines, water lines or electrical wiring where they
can interfere with or contact dishwasher motor or legs.
The location where the dishwasher will be installed must provide
clearance between motor and flooring. Motor should not touch
the floor.
Do not install dishwasher over carpeted flooring.
Shelter dishwasher and water lines leading to dishwasher against
freezing. Damage from freezing is not covered by the warranty.
A side panel kit is available from your dealer for installing your
dishwasher at the end of your cabinetry.
A moisture barrier accessory (Part Number 4396277) is available
from your dealer for installing underneath the countertop.
Check location where dishwasher will be installed. The location
must provide:
• easy access to water, electricity and drain.
convenient access for loading and unloading dishes.
Corner locations require a 2" (5.1 cm) minimum clearance
between the side of the dishwasher door and the wall or
cabinet.
• square opening for proper operation and appearance.
• cabinet front perpendicular to floor.
• level floor. (If floor at front of opening is not level with floor
at rear of opening, shims may be needed to level
dishwasher.)
Helpful Tip: Be sure to accurately measure dimensions and
ensure dishwasher is level if the floor in the dishwasher opening is
uneven (example: Flooring extends only partway into opening).
NOTE: To avoid shifting during dishwasher operation, shims must
be securely attached to the floor.
If dishwasher will be left unused for a period of time or in a
location where it may be subject to freezing, have it winterized by
authorized service personnel.
Make sure pipes, wires and drain hose are within the shaded area
shown in the "Product and Cabinet Opening Dimensions" section.

**Minimum, measured from narrowest point of opening.
Check that all surfaces',
have no protrusions that wpuld
prohibit dishwasher installation,
A new drain hose is supplied with your dishwasher. If drain
hose is not long enough, use a new drain hose with a
maximum length of 12 ft (3.7 m) (Part Number 3385556) that
meets all current AHAM/IAPMO test standards, is resistant to
heat and detergent, and fits the 1" (2.5 cm) drain connector of
the dishwasher.
Make sure to connect drain hose to waste tee or disposer inlet
above drain trap in house plumbing and 20" (50.8 cm)
minimum above the floor. It is recommended that the drain
hose either be looped up and securely fastened to the
underside of the counter, or be connected to an air gap.
Make sure to use an air gap if the drain hose is connected to
house plumbing lower than 20" (50.8 cm) above subfloor or
floor.
Use 1/2"minimum I.D. drain line fittings.
If required, the air gap should be installed in accordance with
the air gap installation instructions. When you are connecting
the air gap, a rubber hose (not provided) will be needed to
connect to the waste tee or disposer inlet.
Be sure that the electrical connection and wire size are adequate
and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70 - latest edition and all local codes and ordinances.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:
National Fire Protection Association

supply.
• Copper wire only.
We recommend:
• A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.
• Aseparate circuit.
If connecting dishwasher with a
power supply cord:
Use UL Listed power supply cord kit

use with dishwasher.
Power supply cord must plug into a grounded
3 prong outlet, located in the cabinet next to
the dishwasher opening. Outlet must meet all
local codes and ordinances.
If connecting dishwasher with direct wiring:
• Use flexible, armored or nonmetallic
sheathed, copper wire with
grounding wire that meets the
wiring requirements for your home
and local codes and ordinances.
• Use a UL Listed/CSA Approved strain relief.
