DISHWASHERSAFETY
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

This dishwasher is manufactured for indoor use only. Do not run drain lines, water lines or electrical wiring where
they can interfere with or contact the 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.
Minimum Clearances
Check location where the 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 2" (5.1 cm) minimum clearance between the
side of the dishwasher door and the wall or cabinet. A minimum of 25%" (65.1 cm) is required in front of the
dishwasher to allow the door to open fully.

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Failure to meet codes and ordinances could lead to fire or
electrica( shock. Proper installation is your responsibility.
• Contact a qualified installer to ensure that the dishwasher is installed to meet all electrical and plumbing national and local
codes and ordinances.
• Install the dishwasher as specified in these instructions.
• Have everything you need to properly install dishwasher.
• Shelter dishwasher and water lines leading to dishwasher against freezing. Damage from freezing is not covered by the

B. Dishwasher
• Square opening for proper orientation.
• Cabinet front perpendicular to floor.
• Level floor. If the floor at the front of the dishwasher is not level with the rear of the opening, shims may be needed to level the
dishwasher. NOTE: To avoid shifting during dishwasher operation, shims
must be securely attached attached to the floor.
If the 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 accurate when measuring the dimensions and in leveling the
dishwasher.

Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord. Failure to folow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
GROUNDING iNSTRUCTiONS
m
For a grounded, cord-connected dishwasher:
The dishwasher 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. The dishwasher is
equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Direct Wire Connection
• Use flexible, armored or nonmetalic sheathed, copper wire with grounding wire that meets the wiring requirements for
your home and local codes and ordinances.
• Use strain relief method provided with house wiring junction box or install a UL-listed/CSA-certified clamp connector to the
house wiring junction box. If using conduit, use a UL-listed/CSA-certified conduit connector.
Power Supply Cord Connection
Use Power Supply Cord Kit (Part Number 4317824) marked for use with dishwashers. Kit contents include:
• Voltex, Inc., UL listed 16 gauge 3-wire power supply cord with 3 prong grounding plug
• Neer C-500 7/8"strain relief
• 3 wire connectors
• Part No. 302797 grommet
Follow the kit instructions for installing the power supply cord. NOTE: Power supply cord must plug into a mating three prong,
grounded outlet, located in the cabinet next to the dishwasher opening. Outlet must meet all local codes and ordinances.
IMPORTANT: If you plan to install a garbage disposal, an additional separate 120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15- or 20-amp fused electrical supply is required.
• A hot water line with 20-120 psi (138-862 kPa) water pressure.
• 120°F (49°0) water temperature at dishwasher.
• 3/8"O.D. copper tubing with compression fitting or flexible braided water supply line.
NOTE: Y2"minimum plastic tubing is not recommended.
• 90° elbow with %" N.RT. external pipe threads on one end.
IMPORTANT: Do not solder within 6" (15.2 cm) from water inlet valve.
WARNING: Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or
service representative if you are in doubt whether the dishwasher is properly grounded. Do not modify the
plug provided with the dishwasher; if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
m
For a permanently connected dishwasher: The dishwasher 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 dishwasher.
SAVE THESE iNSTRUCTiONS
Contact a qualified electrician. Ensure that the electrical installation is adequate and in
conformance with all national and local codes and ordinances. Requirements:
• 120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15- or 20-amp fused electrical supply
• Copper wire only, 2 wire with ground
Recommended:
• Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker
• Separate circuit
• Use the new drain hose supplied with your dishwasher. NOTE: If a longer drain hose is required:
• Use a new drain hose with maximum length of 10 ft (3 m)
that meets all current AHAM/IAPMO test standards
• Use a new drain hose that is resistant to heat and
detergent
• Use a new drain hose that fits the 1" (2.5 cm) drain
connector on the dishwasher.
• Connect drain hose to waste tee or disposal inlet above drain trap in house plumbing.
• Connect drain hose to house plumbing 20" (50.8 cm) minimum above the floor.
NOTE: 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.
• Use a drain air gap if the drain hose is connected to house plumbing lower than 18" (45.7 cm) above the subfloor or floor.
Drain Air Gap
• Use V2"(1.3 cm) minimum I.D. drain line fittings.
NOTE: Do not connect drain lines from other devices to the dishwasher drain hose.
