LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
Dishwasher must be fully enclosed (top, sides, back, and floor)
upon installation. A side panel kit is available from your dealer
for installing your dishwasher at the end of your cabinetry.
An optional moisture barrier accessory is also available for
installing underneath a wooden countertop. See the “Tools
and Parts” section at the front of the guide for part details
and orders.
Check location where dishwasher will be installed. The location
must provide:
Convenient access for loading and unloading dishes. Corner
locations require a 2" (51 mm) minimum clearance between
the side of the dishwasher door and the wall or cabinet.
Easy access to water, electricity, and drain:
Grounded electrical supply is required.
This dishwasher has a water-heating feature and also
requires a connection to a hot water supply line.
Make sure pipes, wires, and drain hose are within the
shaded area shown in the “Product and Cabinet Opening
Dimensions” section.
Do not run drain lines, water lines, or electrical wiring where
they can interfere with or contact dishwasher motor or legs.
Shelter dishwasher and water lines leading to dishwasher
against freezing. Damage from freezing is not covered by
the warranty.
NOTE: 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.
If installed in new construction, flush the water supply line
of debris before connecting it to the fill valve. If it is not
flushed, debris from the water supply could plug the fill
valve screen.
A square opening for proper operation and appearance
The cabinet front to be perpendicular to floor
A level floor
Helpful Hint: If floor at front of opening is not level with floor
at rear of opening, shims may be used to level dishwasher.
NOTE: To avoid shifting during dishwasher operation, shims
must be securely attached to the floor.
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.

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 02169-7471
You Must Have:
120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15- or 20-amp, fused
electrical supply
Copper wire only
A maximum of 2 field wiring supply conductors
(12 AWG largest size) plus 1 grounding conductor
are permitted in the terminal box.
We Recommend:
A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker
A separate circuit
If Connecting Dishwasher with a Power Cord:
Use a UL Listed power cord kit marked for
use with dishwasher. See the “Tools and
Parts” section at the front of the guide for
part details and orders.
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. 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 metallic strain relief.
See the “Tools and Parts” section at the front of the
guide for part details and orders.
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) that meets all current AHAM/
IAPMO test standards, is resistant to heat and detergent, and
fits the 1" (25 mm) drain connector of the dishwasher. See
the “Tools and Parts” section at the front of the guide for part
details and orders.
Make sure to connect drain hose to waste tee or disposer
inlet above drain trap in house plumbing and 20" (508 mm)
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" (508 mm) above
subfloor or floor.
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.

Copper tubing only: Put the tubing into the 90° elbow fitting
as far as it will go. (The copper tubing bends and kinks easily.)
Slide the nut and ferrule forward and start the nut onto the
elbow threads.
NOTE: To avoid vibration during operation, route the water
supply line so that it does not touch the dishwasher base,
frame, or motor. Go to Step 17.

IMPORTANT: If wheels were removed, cover the floor when
moving the dishwasher. Slowly move dishwasher completely
into cabinet opening. Do not kink or pinch water line, drain
hose, power cord, or direct wire between dishwasher and
cabinet. Remove cardboard from under dishwasher.
It is all right if dishwasher fits tightly into cabinet opening.
Do not remove insulation blanket – the blanket reduces the
sound level.
NOTE: Route water supply, drain hose, and power cord out the
rear of the dishwasher.
Route the utilities through the holes in the cabinet and pull
the slack out at the same time as the dishwasher is pushed
into the cabinet.
If using a power cord, make sure to route end through hole
in cutout before sliding dishwasher into cabinet opening.
NOTE: Make sure insulation blanket is secured at both left and
right rear corners before pushing into cabinet opening to keep
the blanket from bunching up in a tight-fitting cabinet.

dishwasher is pushed into the cabinet opening to avoid
any kinks.
CHOOSE ANCHOR ATTACHMENT METHOD
IMPORTANT: The dishwasher must be secured to the
cabinet as one of the final steps. Prepare the dishwasher for
this by attaching the 2 brackets found in the parts bag to
the dishwasher.
For countertops that are wood, laminate, or another
similar surface, use Countertop Attachment: go to
Step 36
For countertops that are marble, granite, or another
hard surface, use Side Attachment: go to Step 37
NOTE: If the gap between the top of the door and the
underside of the counter top is tight (less than
1

If the door falls open, increase the spring tension by moving
the spring end toward the back of the dishwasher.
NOTE: Springs should be in the same notches on left and
right sides.
Align front of dishwasher door panel with front of cabinet
doors. You may need to adjust alignment to be even with
your cabinets.
Check that leveling legs are firmly against the floor. Close and
latch the door and place level against the front panel. Check
that dishwasher is centered from front to back in the opening.
If needed, adjust leveling leg until dishwasher is plumb. Repeat
for other side of dishwasher.
