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" (5.1 cm) minimum clearance between 
the side of the dishwasher door and the wall or cabinet. 
■ Easy access to water, electricity and drain. 
■ Grounded electrical supply required.
■ 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.
■ 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.
