Avoid Scalding or Electrical Shock Hazard
Make sure the water supply and electrical supply
are shut off before installation or service.
Avoid Electrical Shock/Fire Hazard
Do not allow the electrical and water supply lines
to touch. Separate channels are provided under
the dishwasher (see page 10).
If the enclosure requires openings for the electrical
supply cable, hot water supply line, and dishwasher
drain hose, place them within the dimensions shown by
the shaded area of Figure 3 to avoid interference with
the dishwasher frame or other components. Make the
openings for the electrical supply cable and hot water

for the dishwasher drain hose 1-1/4” (32mm) diameter.
If the openings are made through wood, sand them
smooth. If the openings are made through metal, make
them large enough to accommodate grommets or other
protective sheaths with inside diameters of 1” (25.4mm)
for the electrical supply cable and the hot water supply
line, and 1-1/4” (32mm) for the dishwasher drain hose.

Only qualified 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.
Electrical Supply
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 wire rated at 75°C (167°F)
or higher.
Regardless of where the electrical supply cable enters

Plumbing Preparation
Avoid Scald Hazard
Do not perform any work on a charged hot water
line. Serious injury could result. Only qualified
plumbers 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.
Hot Water Supply
The hot water heater should be set to deliver
approximately 120° F (49° C) water to the dishwasher.
Water that is too hot can cause some detergents to lose
effectiveness. Lower water temperatures will increase
run times. The hot water supply pressure must be
between 15 - 145 psi (1 - 10 bar).
Hot Water Supply Plumbing
Install an easily accessible shut-off valve (not supplied)
in the hot water supply line, as shown in Figure 6. All
solder connections must be made before the water
line is connected to the dishwasher’s water inlet valve.
Water may also be supplied to the dishwasher by using
a stainless steel braided hose approved for dishwasher
use. Check with your local plumbing supply sources for
the proper hose and 90° elbow fitting.
NOTE: Regardless of where the hot water supply line
enters the enclosure, position the line 14” (356mm) from
the enclosure’s left side, as shown in Figure 6.
NOTE: Decide whether stainless steel braided hose
approved for dishwasher use or copper tubing will be
used for the hot water supply plumbing, and purchase
the correct type of hot water supply shut-off valve, 90°
elbow, and necessary fittings for the hot water supply
plumbing.
Temperatures required for soldering and
sweating will damage the dishwasher’s base
and water inlet valve. If plumbing lines are to
be soldered or sweated, keep the heat source
at least 6 inches (152.4 mm) away from the
dishwasher’s base and water inlet valve.

The dishwasher can be secured into its enclosure in two
ways:
1 Top Mount is used for countertops made of wood
or other materials that can easily drilled. Orient the
mounting brackets as shown in Figure 10, and
position the two small tabs on the mounting brackets
over the two slots on the dishwasher’s front corners.
Push the mounting brackets down firmly to insert the
tabs into the slots.
2 Side Mount is used for countertops made of marble,
granite, or other very hard materials that cannot be
easily drilled. Bend the mounting brackets along
the small holes and in the same direction as the
two small tabs. Orient the mounting brackets as
shown in Figure 11, and position the two small
tabs on the mounting brackets over the two slots on
the dishwasher’s front corners. Push the mounting
brackets down firmly to insert the tabs into the slots.
Before installing the supplied countertop
mounting brackets, decide which method of
securing the dishwasher into its enclosure will be
used. Once the mounting brackets are installed
on the dishwasher, removing them is difficult
and will damage the mounting brackets and the
dishwasher.
Avoid Tip Over Hazard
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 result in serious injury.
