Owner’s Manual

12 INSTALLATION
• 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.
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
