INSTAL,,,,L,,,,ATIONTIPS
Please read all safety instructions before installing your new Electrolux
dishwasher.
Examine the dishwasher and locate the connections. See Locating the
Connections, page 9.
Locate the dishwasher where there is easy access to drain, water, and
electrical lines. The best location is on either side of the kitchen sink for
access to existing plumbing and ease in loading dishes. See Making the
Connections, pages 9-11.
Electrical, water and drain connections are not the same for all age,
brands or models of dishwasher. Check the location and length of home
utilities. See Making the Connections, pages 9-11.
A 15-20 amp, grounded 120 volt AC only electrical supply is required. See
Making the Connections, pages 9-11.
If the dishwasher drain hose will be connected to a food disposer for the
first time, remove knock out plug covering disposer inlet. See Making the
Connections, pages 9-11.
Kinked water and drain hoses can cause problems. See Finishing the
Connections, page 16.
Dishwasher need to be connected to a hot water supply with enough water
pressure to ensure an adequate fill. See Making the Water Connection,
page 10.
Each home installation differs. You will need additional parts listed above
to complete the installation. See Materials Needed for Installation, page 5.
Flush water line prior to making the final connection to prevent clogging of
the inlet valve filter screen. See Finishing the Water Connection, page 16.
The dishwasher will look, sound and perform best when properly leveled.
See Leveling the Dishwasher, page 15.
Anchor the dishwasher to the countertop and adjacent cabinets. See
Securing the Dishwasher, page 19.

1. The dishwasher operates on a 120 Volt, 60 Hz electrical supply. Provide
a separate circuit with fuse or circuit breaker rated for at least 15 amps (20
amps if connected with a disposer), but not more than 20 amps.
2. Note the location of the electrical supply and the dishwasher's electrical
junction box on the right hand underside of the unit. See Figure 2, page 9.
3. Cut the access hole in the shaded area shown in Figure I, page 7.
4. PuN the electrical cable through the hole into the installation area.

1. Determine where you connect to the hot water supply. Review Figure 2,
page 9 and note the location of the water inlet valve.
.
.
Be sure water inlet is protected from freezing. If valve freezes and
ruptures, flooding may occur.
Determine the amount of tubing needed to connect the hot water supply to
the unit's water inlet valve. Copper tubing must have a minimum of 3/8" OD.
High-pressure and high-temperature rated plastic tubing with a minimum
inner diameter of 1/4" may be used. A shut-off valve installed outside the
dishwasher cabinet is recommended. ,See Figure 3, page 11.

Follow local codes and ordinances.
Review Figure 4 and Figure 5, page 12 to see the different ways to connect
dishwasher to drain system. Choose the method that best suits your need.
If you connect to a sink drain, entry will need to be above the trap. A "Y"
branch tailpiece and connector kit, not included, will make this method easier
and included all needed fittings and instructions. See Figure 5, page 12.
