Location Requirements

Grounded electrical supply required. 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.

Drain Requirements

■ 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.

Electrical Requirements

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 1 Batterymarch Park Quincy, MA 02269

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.

■ A separate circuit.

If connecting dishwasher with a power supply cord:

■ Use UL Listed power supply cord kit

(Part Number 4317824) marked for 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.

Water Supply Requirements

■ A hot water line with 20 to 120 psi (138 to 862 kPa) water

pressure can be verified by a licensed plumber.

■ 120°F (49°C) water at dishwasher.

■ ³⁄₈" O.D. copper tubing with compression fitting or flexible

braided water supply line (Part Number 4396897RP). NOTE: ¹⁄₂" minimum plastic tubing is not recommended.

■ A 90° elbow with ³⁄₄" hose connection with rubber washer.

■ Do not solder within 6" (15.2 cm) of the water inlet valve.
