SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Prior to removal of original dishwasher and the installation of your new unit, make sure to switch off your circuit breaker. Do not connect the dishwasher until you have completed the installation. Connecting the power cable is the last step
when installing the dishwasher.
All wiring and grounding must be done in accordance with the electrical code applicable to the region.
Grounding Instructions
For a permanently connected appliance:
This appliance must be connected to grounded metal, a 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 appliance.
The dishwasher is very heavy. Do not attempt to move or carry a dishwasher alone. Two or more people are needed to move a dishwasher and avoid potential injuries.
If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, a service agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
Do not touch the power cable with wet hands.
CAUTION Do not connect another appliance to the same power outlet as the dishwasher.
Make sure to use a new water supply line. Old lines are susceptible to breakage because they become hardened and may cause property damage due to a water leakage.
The dishwasher must be connected to a hot water supply with a temperature between 120°F and 149°F. This temperature range provides the best washing result and shortest cycle time. Temperature should not exceed 149°F to prevent damage to dishes.
Ensure that the water supplied to the dishwasher does not freeze. Frozen water can damage the hoses, valves, pump, or other components.
For a full list of safety information, please refer to the User Manual.

INSTALLING THE DISHWASHER
If the dishwasher is a new installation, most of the installation work must be done before the dishwasher is moved into place. If the dishwasher is replacing an old dishwasher, you must check the exising dishwasher connections for compatibility with the new dishwasher. Replace the existing connections as necessary.
Step 2: Select the Best Location for the Dishwasher
The following criteria are important to ensure the best location for the dishwasher:
The location must have a solid floor that is able to support the weight of the dishwasher.
The location must be near a sink with easy access to the water supply, drain, and electrical outlet.
For the drain to operate properly, the dishwasher should be installed within 9.8 ft of the sink.
The location must let you load your dishes into the dishwasher easily.
The location must have sufficient space for the dishwasher door to open easily and provide enough space between the dishwasher and the cabinet sides (at least 0.1 in).
If the dishwasher is installed in a corner, ensure that the side of the dishwasher is more than 2 inches from the wall or cabinet.
The wall at the back must be free of obstructions. If this is a new installation, follow these steps:
1.Using a hole saw, cut a hole into the side of the cabinet that hold the sink as shown in Figure 1-1 below.
2.If the base inside the sink cabinet is raised above the kitchen floor and is higher than the connections on the dishwasher, make a hole in the base inside the cabinet and in the cabinet side as shown in Figure 1-2.
Depending on where your electrical outlet is, you may need to cut a hole in the opposite cabinet side.

INSTALLING THE DISHWASHER
Step 3: Check Water Supply Requirements and Cautions
The hot water supply line pressure must be between 0.04-1MPa.
Adjust the water heater to deliver water between 120°F ~149°F.
The dishwasher must be connected to a hot water supply between 120°F~149 °F. This temperature range provides the best
washing result and shortest cycle time. Temperature should not exceed 149°F to prevent damage to dishes.
Ensure that the water supply valve is turned off before connecting the hot water supply line to the dishwasher.
Seal the hot water supply line connections using teflon tape or sealing compound to stop any water leakage.
When you install the dishwasher, ensure there is nothing on the drain hose and be careful not to tear it during the installation process.

INSTALLING THE DISHWASHER
Step 4: Check the Electrical Requirements and Cautions
The electrical requirements for the dishwasher are as follows:
In the United States, install in accordance with the National Electric Code/State and Municipal codes and/or local codes.
For cable direct connections.
Use flexible, armored or non-metallic sheathed, copper wire with a grounding wire that meets the wiring requirements for your local codes and ordinances.
Use the strain relief method provided with the wiring junction box or install a U.L.-listed/CSA-certified clamp connector to the wiring junction box. If using conduit, use a U.L.-listed/CSA-certified conduit connector.

INSTALLING THE DISHWASHER
Step 5: Unpacking and Inspecting the Dishwasher
Unbox the dishwasher in an open area free of obstruction both around the carton and overhead. We recommend that you retain the carton and all of the packing materials until the dishwasher is fully installed and operational to ensure you have removed all the product’s components from the carton prior to disposal.
Unboxing
1.Unbuckle or cut the four straps securing the carton top.
2.Lift the top of the telescoping carton clear of the carton tray and the contents, and then turn it over and place it on the floor.
3.Put the straps and all of the packing materials from around the dishwasher inside the carton top, inspecting them for any signs of damage.
4.Lift the dishwasher from the carton tray, and then place it on the floor. Put the tray into the carton top.
5.Remove the bag that protects the dishwasher during shipping.
CAUTION
ALWAYS LIFT THE DISHWASHER TO MOVE IT. Sliding it over rough surfaces can damage the dishwasher’s feet
and sliding the feet over finished surfaces can, in some cases, damage that finish or the underlying surface.
6.There is also packing inside the dishwasher that you may want to leave in place until the dishwasher is installed.
7.Do not, under any circumstances, remove the sound-absorbent padding that surrounds the exterior of the tub of the dishwasher.
Mechanical Inspection
1.Check the plastic base assembly to ensure that it is intact.
2.Check the dishwasher’s feet to ensure they are in place and can be adjusted so you can level and secure the dishwasher.
3.Check all the visible components on the bottom of the dishwasher to ensure they are intact and secure.
4.Check the door latch, the operation of the hinges, and confirm the door is properly secured to the dishwasher.
