LOCATION REQUIREMENTS • Any built-in dishwasher must be fully enclosed on the top, sides, and back and must not support any part of the enclosure. Therefore, the cabinet space below your countertop is the best location. • The cabinet opening must be at least 23'' (58.4 cm) deep and 17.7'' (45 cm) wide and 32.5''-34.5'' (82.5 cm – 87.5 cm) high as shown in Figure A. • If the dishwasher is to be installed in a corner, make sure there is an adequate clearance to open the door.
DRAIN REQUIREMENTS WARNING! THESE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ARE INTENDED FOR USE BY QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS. One end of the Drain hose is already attached to your dishwasher. The type of drain installation depends on answers to the following questions: 1. Do local codes or ordinances require an air gap? 2. Will waste tee or disposer connection be less than 18" above the floor? 3.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS WARNING! THESE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ARE INTENDED FOR USE BY QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS. Ensure that the electrical installation is adequate and in conformance with all national and local codes and ordinances. You must have: • 120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, 12-amp, fused electrical supply. We recommend: • A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker. • A separate circuit. Warning! No other appliances or outlets should be connected to the dishwasher supply circuit.
WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS • The Water supply line pressure must be 6-145 psi. • The Water heater should be set to deliver 120°F (49°C) to 150°F (65°C) water temperature to the dishwasher. • The Water supply hose may enter from either side, within the shaded area shown in Figure F. CABINET PREPARATION Drill a 14⁄5" diameter hole in the cabinet (Figure F) for the water supply line. Shut-off Valve 14⁄5" Dia.
INSTALLATION WARNING ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD • DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER AT THE CIRCUIT BREAKER BOX OR FUSE BEFORE INSTALLING THE DISHWASHER. • ELECTRICALLY GROUND THE DISHWASHER. • FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN DEATH, FIRE, OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK. STEP 1 Disconnect electrical power at the fuse box or circuit breaker box before installing the dishwasher. STEP 2 Shut off the water supply to the dishwasher. STEP 3 • Insert the drain hose into the cabinet wall hole.
STEP 4 • Slide the dishwasher into the opening a few inches at a time. DO NOT PUSH AGAINST FRONT PANEL WITH KNEES. IT WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE DOOR. • As you proceed, pull the drain hose through the opening under the sink. Stop pushing when the dishwasher is a few inches forward of adjacent cabinetry. • Make sure the drain hose is not kinked under the dishwasher, and there is no interference with the water line and wiring or any other component.
Adjust the front feet Adjust the back feet STEP 8 The drain hose molded end will fit 5/8" (1.6 cm), 3/4” (1.9 cm), or 1" (2.5 cm) diameter connections on the air gap, waste tee, or disposer. Cut on the marked line as required for your installation. IMPORTANT: Do not cut the corrugated portion of the hose. Cutting Lines TIP: Pull the lower rack out about halfway. The rack should not roll forward or back into the dishwasher. If the rack rolls in either direction, the dishwasher must be leveled again.
