Avoiding General Hazards
Do not use the dishwasher until it is completely installed. When opening
the door on an uninstalled dishwasher, carefully open the door while
supporting the rear of the unit. Failure to follow this warning can cause the
dishwasher to tip over and result in serious injury.
Before installing the supplied counter top mounting brackets, decide which
method will be used to secure the dishwasher into its opening. Once these
mounting brackets are installed on the dishwasher, removing them is dif-
cult and will damage the mounting brackets and the dishwasher.
In some conditions, hydrogen gas can form in a hot water system that
has not been used for weeks. Hydrogen gas is explosive. Before lling a
dishwasher from a system that has been off for weeks, run the water from
a nearby faucet in a well ventilated area until there is no sound or evidence
of gas.
Temperatures required for soldering and sweating will damage the dish-
washer’s base and water inlet valve. If plumbing lines are to be soldered
or sweated, keep the heat source at least 6″ (152.4 mm) away from the
dishwasher.
Removing any cover or pulling the dishwasher from the cabinet can
expose hot water connections, electrical power and sharp edges or points.
Handle with care.
Avoiding Electrical Shock/Fire Hazards
Do not work on an energized circuit. Doing so could result in serious
injury or death. Only qualied electricians should perform electrical work.
Do not attempt any work on the dishwasher electric supply circuit until
you are certain the circuit is de-energized.
Make sure electrical work is properly installed. There should be no loose
electrical connections. Ensure all electrical connections are properly
made.
The customer has the responsibility of ensuring that the dishwasher
electrical installation is in compliance with all national and local electrical
codes and ordinances. The dishwasher is designed for an electrical
supply of 120V, 60 Hz, AC, connected to a dishwasher-dedicated, properly
grounded electrical circuit with a fuse or breaker rated for 15 amps.
Electrical supply conductors shall be a minimum #14 AWG copper only
wire rated at 75°C (167°F) or higher.
WARNING

This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring
system, or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit
conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on
the appliance. Do not use extension cords.
Avoiding Plumbing/Scalding Hazards
Do not perform any work on a charged hot water line. Serious injury could
result. Only qualied plumber should perform plumbing work. Do not
attempt any work on the dishwasher hot water supply plumbing until you
are certain the hot water supply is shut off.
Properly tighten all water connections. Not doing so could result in a leak.
Check local plumbing codes for approved plumbing procedures and ac-
cessories. All plumbing should be done in accordance with national and
local codes.
If using copper tubing or other material not depicted in this manual for
water supply, defer to a licensed plumber for proper installation.

Orient the mounting brackets (D) as shown. Please note the position-
ing of the bracket in illustration 12b.
Using pliers, bend down as shown in 12c such that the bracket will not
slip out of slot in frame. Do not attach to cabinet yet.
Top Mount is used for counter tops made of wood or other materials
that can be easily drilled. If you have solid surface, marble, granite,
or other very hard countertops, skip to step 13 now.
