Preparing Cabinet Opening

This dishwasher is designed to fit a standard dishwasher opening. An opening may be needed on both sides to route plumbing and electrical connections.

24" (610 mm) min.

2

" (851 mm) min.

24" (610 mm) min.

1 Select a location as close to the sink as possible for easy connections to water and drain lines.

2 To ensure proper drainage, install the dishwasher no more than 12 ft. (3.65 m) from the sink.

3 If installing the dishwasher in a corner, leave a minimum of 2" (50 mm) between the dishwasher and the adjacent wall.

4 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

• Don't use existing holes unless they are in the target area. Otherwise, the water supply and drain hose may be damaged by being crushed or kinked.

CAUTION

• 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 or damaged lines. Installation damage is not covered by the warranty, and leaks caused by improper installation may result in property damage.

For flush installations only, you may remove the cabinet brace inside the cabinet.

Preparing Electrical Wiring

1 Operate this appliance with the correct voltage as shown in this manual and on the rating plate.

Connect it to a dedicated, properly grounded branch circuit which is protected by a time delay fuse. Connect the appliance using 3-wires, including a ground wire.

2 If an outlet and other power connector are used, it should be in an accessible location adjacent to and not behind the dishwasher and within 4 ft

(1.2 m) of the dishwasher's side.

3 The wiring must be grounded properly. If in doubt, have it checked by a qualified electrician.

Do not connect any other appliance to the same outlet.

4 Route the wiring.

INSTALLATION 15

Preparing Water Supply

Connection

Make sure the house water supply is turned off before connecting the dishwasher water lines.

1 Connect the dishwasher to a hot water supply with a temperature range between 120 °F (49

°C) and 149 °F (65 °C). This temperature range provides the best washing results and shortest cycle time. To prevent damage to dishes, the temperature should not exceed 149 °F (65 °C).

2 When connecting the dishwasher water line, sealing tape or compound should be used on pipe threads to avoid leaks. Tape or compound should not be used on compression fittings.

3 The water supply tube must be located in the left side channel.

Preparing Dishwasher

Removable Rear Plastic Shipping

Brace

The rear shipping brace can be removed if additional clearance is needed when installing the dishwasher under a low countertop.

Removing Lower Cover

1 Remove the two screws attaching the lower cover to the dishwasher.

2 Remove the lower cover from the base.

3 Remove the insulation pad from behind the access panel.

NOTE

• Do not pull or lift the dishwasher using the handle; doing so can damage the door and hinges. Open the door and grab the body frame and the top front opening of the tub to move or lift the dishwasher.

CAUTION

• If at any time the dishwasher is laid on its back, take care not to damage the drain hose.

NOTE

• Make sure that the lower cover replaces in the last step.

NOTE

• Do not push the door of the dishwasher with knees.

Attaching Mounting Hardware

For countertops made of wood or other material that will not be damaged by drilling, use the metal installation brackets.

1 Insert the installation brackets into the slots in the upper frame.

INSTALLATION 17

Sliding Dishwasher into

Cabinet

1 Slide the dishwasher carefully into the cabinet opening.

2 Make sure the drain hose inside the cabinet is not kinked or pinched.

3 Make sure the water supply line and electrical supply are routed through the channels under the dishwasher.

4 To avoid a kinked or pinched drain hose, be sure to pull on the drain hose while sliding the dishwasher into place. Do not allow any slack behind the dishwasher.

Installation bracket

2 Bend the brackets to secure them to the dishwasher tub.

NOTE

• Installation brackets and screws can be found in the silverware basket.

For countertops made of granite, marble, or other materials that could be damaged by drilling, use the wood screws to attach the dishwasher to the cabinet.

See installation instructions in Securing Dishwasher to Countertop.

5 After leveling the dishwasher, do not leave the water supply line or power supply line under the base. This is a potential cause of water leaks.

Place the water line and power supply line in the channel.

18 INSTALLATION

Leveling the Appliance

Check that dishwasher is level.

• Attach level on top front opening of tub from side to side.

• Attach level on front side of tub.

Adjusting the Legs

Adjusting the Front Legs

• Use a flat-blade screwdriver or a pliers to turn the front legs and adjust the front of the tub.

• Turn the front legs clockwise to raise the front of the tub and counter-clockwise to lower it.

• The adjustments work identically for both front legs.

Level

Make sure that the gap between the door and the tub is equal on both the left and right sides.

The water level should be checked after the initial fill on the Normal cycle. If the water level is not near the center of both tub lower indentations, the dishwasher may not be correctly leveled. The dishwasher may leak during operation if it is not correctly leveled.

Adjusting the Rear Legs

• Use a Phillips screwdriver to adjust the back legs and the rear of the tub using the center screw at the base of the appliance in the front.

• Turn the center screw clockwise to raise the rear of the tub and counter-clockwise to lower it.

NOTE

• To avoid damaging the screw, do not use an electric screwdriver.

Water level should be near the center of both tub lower indentations.

Securing Dishwasher to

Countertop

For countertops made of wood or other material that will not be damaged by drilling, use Method 1.

For countertops made of granite, marble, or other materials that could be damaged by drilling, use

Method 2.

NOTE

• Cover the filter hole with towels to prevent screws from falling down into the pump.

• Use a magnetic screwdriver.

Method 1

Using the provided screws, secure the dishwasher to the countertop through the holes in the bracket.

INSTALLATION 19

Connecting Drain Hose

If the end of the drain hose does not fit the drain line, use a heat and detergent resistant adapter

(not supplied). These may be obtained from a local plumbing supply store.

The two typical connections are shown. To prevent siphoning, one of the following connections should be used.
