Location Requirements
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.)
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 “Cutout dimensions” section.
Helpful Tip: If the floor in the dishwasher opening is uneven (example: tile flooring only partway into opening), you will need to be exact in measuring dimensions and in leveling dishwasher.

Terminal box cover
Cable clamp connector
Dishwasher wires
8.Measure height of cabinet opening from underside of countertop to floor where dishwasher will be installed (you need the lowest point). Check chart for that height opening. Put wheels in the required position.
Ferrule
Copper tubing only: Slide nut, then ferrule, about 1" (2.5 cm) onto copper tubing.
NOTE: To avoid vibration during operation, route the water supply line so that it does not touch the dishwasher base, frame or motor.
6. Add 90° elbow fitting to the water supply line.
Connect the ³⁄" compression fitting to the water supply line prior to installing the unit into the cabinet opening. Attach such that the ³⁄" connection is facing upward.
Copper tubing only: Put the tubing into the 90° elbow fitting as far as it will go (the copper tubing bends and kinks easily). Slide the nut and ferrule forward and start the nut onto the elbow threads. Flexible braided connection: Secure nut to elbow using ⁄" open ended wrench or adjustable wrench.
NOTE: Do not use Teflon®† tape with compression fittings.
7.Remove terminal box cover.
–If you are direct wiring: Install a UL Listed/CSA Approved clamp connector to the terminal box. If using conduit, use a UL Listed/CSA Approved strain relief.
–If you are installing a power supply cord kit, do so now, following kit instructions. The power supply cord kit must be UL Listed and marked for use with dishwashers (that is, Power Supply Cord Kit Part Number 4317824).

Check door spring tension
With another person holding the dishwasher to keep it from tipping, open and close the door a few times. If the door closes or falls open under its own weight, the door tension will need to be adjusted.
■If the door closes too quickly, decrease the spring tension by moving the spring end toward the front of the dishwasher.
■If the door falls open, increase the spring tension by moving the spring end toward the back of the dishwasher.
■Springs should be in the same notches on left and right sides.
Spring Move
spring end
Move dishwasher into cabinet opening
1.Using two or more people, stand the dishwasher up.
2.Grasp the sides of the dishwasher at the edges of the door panel.
3.Tilt dishwasher backward on wheels and move dishwasher close to cabinet opening. Do not push on the front of the panel or on the console — they may dent.
4.If dishwasher has a power supply cord,
insert power supply cord into hole cut into cabinet.
If using direct wire, check that it is on the right front side of opening.
5.Check that water line is on the left side of opening and drain hose is near the center of the hole in the cabinet.
6.Slowly move dishwasher completely into cabinet opening. Do not kink or pinch copper tubing, drain hose, power supply cord or direct wire between dishwasher and cabinet.
Helpful Tip: Once the dishwasher is in position, you may have to support the front of the dishwasher by raising, lowering or shimming front feet.
7.Remove cardboard from under dishwasher.
8.Using the precut slots in the insulation, attach the insulation to the sides of the tub using the molded hooks on each side of the tub.
NOTE: It is all right if dishwasher fits tightly into cabinet opening. Do not remove insulation blanket — the blanket reduces the sound level.
Level the dishwasher
1.Align front of dishwasher door panel with cabinet doors. You may need to adjust alignment to be even with your cabinets.
Helpful Tip: Prop up one side of frame to hold dishwasher up off floor when adjusting front legs.
With some installations, it may be easier to adjust the front leg using the ³⁄" hex head.
2.Check that leveling legs are firmly against the floor.
3.Close and latch the door. Place the level against the front of the dishwasher to check that it is vertically aligned. If needed, adjust leveling leg or add shims under rear wheel until dishwasher is even.
4. Repeat for other side of dishwasher.
NOTE: Shims must be securely attached to floor to prohibit their movement when the dishwasher is operated.
5. Place level against top front opening of tub. Check that dishwasher is level from side to side. If dishwasher is not level, adjust front legs up or down until dishwasher is level.
