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:
o 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. o 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.

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.

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.

Prepare cabinet opening using
existing utility hookups
e Follow the steps in this section if you are installing the

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.
