Dishwasher Safety

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."

These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow

instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

Tip Over Hazard

Do not use dishwasher until completely installed.

Do not push down on open door. Doing so can result in serious injury or cuts.

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. Protect 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 No. 4396277) is available

from your dealer for installing underneath the countertop,

but is not required. Check location where dishwasher will be installed.The

location must provide:

oeasy 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.)

NOTE:To prevent 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 "Cutout dimensions" section.

HelpfulTip: If the floor in the dishwasher opening is uneven (example: tile flooring only partway into opening) you will need to take special care in measuring dimensions and in leveling dishwasher.

Make sure all these parts are included. See separate parts list for accessories available for your

dishwasher.

Drain Requirements

Electrical Requirements

. Use the new drain hose supplied with your dishwasher.

If this is not long enough, use a new drain hose with a maximum length of 12 feet (3.7 m) 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.

o 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.

c_ _ air gap

o Use an air gap if the drain hose is connected to house

plumbing lower than 20" (50.8 cm) above subfloor or

floor.

o Use 1/2" minimum I.D. drain line fittings.

Water Supply Requirements

_A hot water line with 20-120 psi (138-862 kPa) water

pressure.

o 120OF (49oC) water at dishwasher. o 3/8" O.D. copper tubing with compression fitting or

flexible stainless steel braided fill line (1/2" minimum

plastic tubing is not recommended).

_A 90 ° elbow with 3/8" N.RT. external pipe threads on

one end.

Do not solder within 6" (15.2 cm) from water inlet valve.

Contact a qualified electrician.

Assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in conformance with all national and local codes and

ordinances.

You must have:

+ 120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15 or 20 amp., fused electrical

supply.

+ Copper wire only.

We recommend:

®A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker. eA separate circuit.

If direct wiring dishwasher:

o Use flexible, armored or non-metallic sheathed, copper

wire with grounding wire that meets the wiring

requirements for your home and local codes and

ordinances.

o Use strain relief method provided with house wiring

junction box or install a U.L.-listed/CSA-certified clamp connector to the house wiring junction box. If using conduit, use a U.L.-listed/CSA-certified conduit connector.

If connecting dishwasher with a power supply cord:

" Use Power Supply Cord Kit (Part No. 4317824) marked for

use with dishwashers. Kit contents include:

-Volex, Inc., UL listed 16 gauge 3 wire power supply cord with 3 prong grounded plug.

- Neer C-500 7/8 inch strain relief.

- 3 wire connectors.

- Part No. 302797 grommet

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect electrical power at the fuse box or circuit breaker box before installing dishwasher.

Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.

1. Disconnect power.

2. Turn off water supply.

install the drain hose

IMPORTANT: Always use a new drain hose even when installing a new replacement dishwasher.

1. Drill a 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) diameter hole in cabinet wall or floor on the side of the opening closest to the sink.

2. Connect drain hose to waste tee or waste disposer using one of the following methods:

o Option 1, Waste disposer- with air gap o Option 2, No waste disposer- with air gap

o Option 3, Waste disposer- no air gap* o Option 4, No waste disposer- no air gap*

+anair gap is recommended

Prepare cabinet opening using

existing utility hookups

e Follow the steps in this section if you are installing the

dishwasher in an existing cabinet opening with utility hookups.

e If you are installing the dishwasher in a cabinet opening

that does not have hookups, follow the steps under

"Prepare cabinet opening where there are no existing utility hookups" section.

1. Check that the water line reaches to the

front left of opening where the water

connection will be

made.

2. Check that the direct _

wire reaches to the front right of opening 6" (15.2 cm)

where the electrical ....... _--_

connection will be made.

If the water line and the direct wire reach far enough into the opening, proceed to the next section "Install the drain hose." If they do not reach far enough, follow the steps under "Prepare cabinet opening where there are no existing utility hookups:'

HelpfuITip:To reduce the vibration of the hose, keep

the hose away from the floor and the edge of the hole

where it passes through the cabinet.

Option 1, Waste disposer - with air gap:

1. Remove the disposer knockout plug. Cut end of drain hose if needed (do not cut ribbed section).

2. Attach drain hose to air gap with large spring-type clamp. If the drain hose was cut, use a 1-1/2" to 2" (3.8 to 5 cm) screw-type clamp +.

3. Use a rubber hose connector + with spring or screw-

type clamps + to connect air gap to disposer inlet.

This connection must be before the drain trap and at least 20" (50.8 cm) above the floor where dishwasher

will be installed.

Turn both front leveler legs to the same height.

If the minimum cutout height is less than 34" (86.4 cm), the rear wheels can be

removed for additional clearance.This will allow the dishwasher to fit into a 33-7/8"

(86 cm) high cutout, but the dishwasher will be more difficult to move into

position. If the wheels are removed,

protect the floor when moving the dishwasher.

countertop or flooring.

Put wheels in position 1

and turn the front leveler legs up all the way.

Add shims as needed in the area shown to bring dishwasher up to proper height.

NOTE: Shims must be securely attached to floor to prevent their movement when the dishwasher is operated.
