• To ensure proper drainage, install the

dishwasher no more than 12 ft. (3.65 m) from

the sink.

• The location must have sufficient space for the

dishwasher door to open easily and provide at

least 0.1” (2 mm) between the dishwasher and

the cabinet sides.

• If installing the dishwasher in a corner, leave a

minimum of 2” (50 mm) between the dishwasher

and the adjacent wall.

• The adjacent wall must be free of obstructions.

• For flush installations only, you may remove the

cabinet brace a inside the cabinet.

ENGLISH

Choosing the Proper Location

1 Select a location as close to the sink as

possible for easy connections to water supply

line, drain hose and electrical connection.

2 To allow for proper clearance of plumbing

and electrical, use the template included with

the literature to determine the clearance on

the side of the cabinet where the cabinet

meets the back wall. Using a 2 1/2” diameter

hole saw, drill a hole in the target area as

shown on the template.

WARNING

• Installation damage is not covered by the

warranty, and leaks caused by improper

installation may result in property damage.

• Do not use existing holes unless they are in the

target area.

• Failure to properly locate the hole for the water

and drain lines may prevent the dishwasher

from installing flush with the cabinets and could

result in kinked, pinched, crushed, stressed or

damaged lines.

Preparing Water and

Electrical Connections

WARNING

• Water Connection

- Do not reuse an old hose. Use only a new hose

when installing the dishwasher. The old hose

could leak or burst causing flooding and

property damage. Contact a SIGNATURE

KITCHEN SUITE Customer Information Center

for assistance in buying a new hose.

• Electrical Connection

- Use a time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.

- Operate this appliance with the correct voltage

as shown in this manual and on the rating

plate.

- The wiring must be grounded properly. If in

doubt, have it checked by a qualified

electrician.

- Connect the appliance using 3-wires, including

a ground wire.

- The appliance and outlet must be positioned

so that the plug is easily accessible.

- Do not use an extension cable or adapter with

this dishwasher.

- Do not overload the outlet with more than one

appliance.

- The included 16AWG wire nuts should be used.

- It is the personal responsibility and obligation

of the product owner to have a proper outlet

installed by a qualified electrician.

CAUTION

• When connecting the dishwasher water supply

line to the house water supply, sealing tape or

compound should be used on pipe threads to

avoid leaks. Tape or compound should not be

used on compression fittings.

• Connect the dishwasher to a hot water supply

with a temperature range between 120 °F (49 ℃)

and 149 °F (65 ℃). This temperature range

provides the best washing results and shortest

cycle time. To prevent damage to dishes, the

temperature should not exceed 149 °F (65 ℃).

• Water supply pressure must be between 20 psi

and 80 psi (140–550 kPa). If the water supply

pressure exceeds 80 psi, a pressure reducing

valve must be installed. Otherwise premature

failure of the inlet valve may occur.

1 Remove the knockout plug with a hammer

and screwdriver.

2 Connect the end of the drain hose a to the air

gap b with the hose clamp provided. Move

the clamp into position and tighten it with a

flat-blade screwdriver.

• This avoids water being siphoned from the

tub.

Leveling Dishwasher

Check that the dishwasher is level and adjust the

leveling feet if necessary.

CAUTION

• Failure to level the dishwasher may result in

leakage, problems closing the door, or noise.

• Where the cabinet opening is narrower than

recommended (see Preparing Cabinet

Opening), the dishwasher must be carefully

leveled and aligned so that the dishwasher is

supported fully by the 3 leveling feet and is not

hanging from the installation brackets. Failure to

do so can result in leaks from the front of the

dishwasher, AE errors, difficulty in closing the

door, or failure to operate.

Checking Leveling

To check that the tub is level from front to back,

remove the lower rack and pour 169 oz. (5 L) of

water into the bottom of the tub. The water level

should be near the center of both tub lower

indentations at the front.

With the lower rack removed, place a level on the

inside wall of the tub to check that the dishwasher

is level from side to side.

• If you do not have a level, try using a

smartphone level application instead.

Make sure that the gap between the tub walls and

the door liner is the same on either side.

Adjusting Leveling Feet

Adjust as needed until the dishwasher is

completely leveled.

• Adjust the front and rear leveling feet until they

are all in firm contact with the floor. Failure to

level the dishwasher may prevent the door from

closing properly and the dishwasher will not turn

on.

Adjusting Front Leveling Feet

Use a flat-blade screwdriver to turn the front

leveling feet and adjust the front of the tub.

19INSTALLATION

ENGLISH

• Turn the front leveling feet clockwise to raise the

front of the tub and counterclockwise to lower it.

• The adjustments work identically for both front

leveling feet.

• When a flat-blade screwdriver is unavailable, use

a 1/4" square drive wrench a or 3/8" square

drive wrench b with 1/2" socket c to turn the

front leveling feet and adjust the front of the tub.

Adjusting Rear Leveling Foot

Use a Phillips screwdriver to adjust the rear

leveling foot and the rear of the tub using the

center screw at the base of the appliance in the

front.

• Turn the center screw clockwise to raise the rear

of the tub and counterclockwise to lower it.

NOTE

• To avoid damaging the screw, do not use an

electric screwdriver.

Securing Dishwasher in

Cabinet Opening

There are 2 options for securing the dishwasher. If

the countertop is made of wood or a material that

can safely be drilled into, secure the dishwasher to

the countertop with the provided brackets. If the

countertop is granite, marble, or a material that

cannot be drilled into, secure the dishwasher to

the cabinet frame with the provided wood screws.

CAUTION

• Ensure the dishwasher is level and all leveling

feet are in firm contact with the floor before

attaching the dishwasher to the countertop or

cabinet. If the dishwasher is not leveled

properly, the door may not close properly or

water may leak.

NOTE

• Installation brackets and screws can be found in

the silverware basket.

• Use a magnetic screwdriver.

• Cover the filter hole with towels to prevent

screws from falling down into the pump.

Securing Dishwasher to Countertop

Use the bracket screws provided to secure the

brackets at the top of the dishwasher to the

underside of the wood countertop.

Securing Dishwasher to Cabinet Frame

If desired, the dishwasher can also be secured to

the cabinet frame using the instructions which

follow.

1 Remove the 2 plastic caps from the mounting

bracket access holes.

2 Drive a wood screw through the mounting

bracket and into the cabinet frame.
