LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
Do not run drain lines, water lines or electrical wiring where they
can interfere with or contact dishwasher motors or legs.
The dishwasher installation location must provide clearance
between motors and ooring. Motors should not touch the oor.
Do not install dishwasher over carpeted ooring.
Protect dishwasher and the water lines leading to dishwasher
against freezing. Damage from freezing is not covered by the
warranty.
Check dishwasher installation location. The location must provide:
■ Easy access to water, electricity, and drain.
■ Convenient access for loading and unloading dishes. Corner
locations require a 2" (5 cm) minimum clearance between
the side of the dishwasher door and the wall or cabinet.
Use of air gap

clearance for
door opening
■ Full enclosure on both sides, back, and top.
■ Square opening for proper operation and appearance.
■ Cabinet front perpendicular to oor.
■ Level oor. (If oor at front of opening is not level with oor
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 oor.
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 area shown
in the “Cutout dimensions” section.
Helpful Tip: If the oor in the dishwasher opening is uneven,
(example: tile ooring only partway into opening) you will need
to take special care in measuring dimensions and in leveling
dishwasher.
DRAIN 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 9.8 ft (3 m) from the sink that meets all current AHAM/
IAPMO test standards, is resistant to heat and detergent.
■ Connect drain hose to waste tee or disposer inlet above the
drain trap in the house plumbing and 20" (50.8 cm) minimum
above the oor. It is recommended that the drain hose be
either looped up and securely fastened to the underside of the
counter, or be connected to an air gap.
■ Use an air gap if the drain hose is connected to house
plumbing lower than 18" (45.7 cm) above the oor.
WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
■ This dishwasher has a water heating feature and also requires
a connection to a hot water supply line.
■ A hot water line with 20-120 psi (138-862 kPa) water pressure.
■ 120°F (49°C) water at dishwasher.
■ 3/8" (.95 cm) O.D. copper tubing with compression tting or
exible stainless steel braided ll line (1/2" minimum plastic
tubing is not recommended).
■ A 90° elbow with 3/8" (.95 cm) N.P.T. external pipe threads
on one end.
NOTE: Do not solder within 6" (15.2 cm) from ll valve.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Contact a qualied 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.
■ Wiring must be 2 wire with ground.
We recommend:
■ A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.
■ A separate circuit.
If direct wiring dishwasher:
■ Use exible, armored or non-metallic sheathed, copper wire
with grounding wire that meets the wiring requirements for your
home and local codes and ordinances.
If connecting dishwasher with a power supply cord:
■ Use Power Supply Cord Kit (Part No. 4317824) marked for use
with dishwashers. Kit contents include:
• UL listed 16 gauge 3 wire power supply
cord with 3 prong grounded plug.
• Neer C-500 7/8" (2.2 cm) strain relief.
• 3 wire connectors.
• Part No. 302797 grommet.
Follow the kit instructions for installing the power supply cord.
