Installation Guide

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.
