DRAIN REQUIREMENTS
, Follow local codes and ordinances.
, Do not exceed 15' distance to drain.
NOTE:Air gap must be used, if waste tee or disposer
connection is less than 18" above floor to prevent siphoning.
DETERMINE DRAIN METHOD
The type of drain installation depends on the following
questions.
Do local codes or ordinances require an air gap?
Iswaste tee less than 18" above floor?
If the answer to either question is YES,Method 1 MUST
be used.
If the answers are NO,either method may be used.
CABINET PREPARATION
, Drill a 1-1/2" diameter hole in the cabinet wall within
the shaded areas shown in Figure A for the drain hose
connection. The hole should be smooth with no sharp edges.

Electrical Requirements
, Thisappliance must be supplied with !20V, 60 Hz.,and
connected to an individual properly grounded branch circuit,
protected by c]15- or 20-ampere circuit breaker or time-delay
fuse.
, Wiring must be 2 wire with ground and rated for 75°C(!67°F).
, If the electrical supply does not meet the above requirements,
call c]licensed electrician before proceeding.
Grounding Instructions-Permanent Connection
This appliance must be connected to c]grounded metal,
permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding
conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and be
connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on
the appliance.
Grounding Instructions-Power Cord Models
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of c]malfunction
or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock
by providing c]path of least resistance for electric current.
This appliance is equipped with c]cord having tin equipment-
grounding conductor and c]grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into tin appropriate outlet that is installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING:
Theimproperconnectionof theequipmentgrounding conductor

Cabinet
Figure E White
For models equipped with power cord: Donot modify the plug
provided with the appliance; if it will not fit the outlet, have c]
proper outlet installed by c]qualified technician.
Cabinet Preparation & Wire Routing
, Thewiring may enter the opening from either side, rear or the
floor within the shaded area illustrated above in Figure Eand
defined in Figure A.
, Cut c]1-1/2" maximum diameter hole to admit the electrical
cable. Edgesof hole should be smooth and rounded.
Permanent wiring connections may puss through the same
hole us the drain hose and hot water line, if convenient. If
cabinet wall is metal, the hole edge must be covered with c]
bushing.
NOTE:Power cords with plug must puss through c]separate
hole.
Electrical Connection to Dishwasher
Electrical connection is on the right front of dishwasher.
, For permanent connections the cable must be routed us
shown in Figure E.Cable must extend c]minimum of 24" from
the rear wall.
, For power cord connections, install a 3-prong grounding
type receptacle in the sink cabinet rear wall, 6" min. or 18"
maximum from the opening, 6" to 18" above the floor.
, Use the Power Cord Kitfor your dishwasher model.

Installation Preparation
PREPARE HOT WATER LINE
NOTE:GErecommends copper tubing for the water line, but if
you choose to useflexible hose, use GE'sW×28×326, flexible
braided hose.
. Thewater supply line (3/8" copper tubing or flexible braided
hose) may enter from either side, rear or floor within the
shaded area shown in Figure F.
. Thewater supply line may pass through the same hole as the
electrical cable and drain hose. Or,cut an additional 1-1/2"
diameter hole to accommodate the water line. If power cord
with plug is used, water line must not pass through power
cord hole.
ACAUTION:
Do not remove wood base until you are ready to install the
dishwasher. The dishwasher will tip over when the door is
opened if base isremoved.

You must install the mounting brackets onto the dishwasher tub
frame top or sides prior to sliding the dishwasher into place under
the countertop. This dishwasher is capable of a true-flush installation
at a 24" deep opening. The mounting brackets have several
available attachment positions to accommodate different cabinet
constructions.
Install mounting brackets on top if the underside of
countertop is wood or wood-like materiel that accepts screws:
IMPORTANT - AfterinstaUingbracketsandbefore

STEP 14: PUSH DISHWASHER INTO
FINAL POSITION
, Check the tub insulation blanket, if equipped, to be sure it is
smoothly wrapped around the tub. It should not be "bunched

insulation is"bunched up" or interfering with the springs,
straighten and recenter the blanket prior to sliding the
dishwasher into its final position.
. Slide the dishwasher into the final position by pushing on the
sides of the door panel. Do not use a knee or push on the
center of the panel. If you do, damage to the panel will likely
result.

TO COUNTERTOP OR CABINET
Inthis step you will need the 2 Phillipsspecial head screws
from the screws set aside in Step 1.
The dishwasher must be secured to the countertop or the
cabinet sides. When the underside of the countertop is wood,
use Method 1.Use Method 2 when the underside of the
countertop is made of a material, such as granite, that will not
accept wood screws.
IMPORTANT - Prevent door panel and control
panel damage. Dishwasher must be positioned so the front
panel and control panel do not contact the adjacent cabinets
or countertop. Mounting screws must be driven straight and
flush. Protruding screw heads could scratch the door panel or
control panel and interfere with door operation.
Method 1
Secure dishwasher to underside of wood countertop.
. Recheck alignment of the dishwasher in the cabinet. Referto
Steps 14 and 15. Door panel and/or control panel must not
hit cabinets or countertop.

In this step you will need the junction box cover and the
#10 Hex head screw from the screws set aside in Step 1.
. Secure house wiring to the back of the junction box with a
strain relief.
. Locate the 3 dishwasher wires, (white, block and green) with
the stripped ends coming out of the ACjumper. Use ULlisted
wire nuts of appropriate size to connect incoming ground to
green, white to white and black to black.
. Install the junction box cover using #10 hex head screw.
Check to be sure that wires are not pinched under the cover.

STEP 20: PRETEST CHECKLIST
Review this list after installing your dishwasher to avoid
charges for a service call that is not covered by your
wa r ra nty.
. Check to be sure power is OFF.
, Open door and remove all foam and paper packaging.
, Locate the Owner's Manual set aside in Step 1.
, Read the Owner's Manual for operating instructions.
. Check door opening and closing. If door does not open and
close freely, check for proper routing of spring cable over
pulley. If door drops or closes when released, adjust spring
tension. See Step 2.
. Check to be sure that wiring is secure under the dishwasher,
not pinched or in contact with door springs or other
components. See Step 19.
, Check door alignment with tub. If door hits tub, level
dishwasher. SeeStep 15.
, Check door alignment with cabinet. If door hits cabinet,
reposition dishwasher. See Step 1/4.
, Check that door spring does not contact water line,fill hose,
wiring or other components. See Step 1/4.
, Verify water supply and drain lines are not kinked or in
contact with other components. Contact with motor or
dishwasher frame could cause noise.
STEP 21: DISHWASHER WET TEST
,Turn on power supply or plug power cord into outlet,
if equipped.
, Select a cycle to run and push the Start button.
, Ensurethe door is latched. Dishwasher should start.
, Check to be sure that water enters the dishwasher. If water
does not enter the dishwasher, check to be sure that water
and power are turned on.
, Check for leaks under the dishwasher. If a leak isfound, turn
off power at the breaker, and then tighten water connections.
Restore power after leak is corrected.
, Check for leaks around the door.A leak around the door could
be caused by door rubbing or hitting against
adjacent cabinets. Reposition the dishwasher if necessary.

insulation. Align the screw holes with the screw holes on the
legs of the dishwasher.
Figure AH Screws
Align the toekick with the bottom edge and make sure it is
against the floor.
Insert and tighten the 2 toekick attachment screws. The
toekick should stay in contact with the floor.
When reinstalling the toe kick on models with a sound barrier,
ensure that the bottom edge of the rubberized flap isflush
with the floor. Any excess material should be tucked up
behind the outer door. Donot allow excess rubberized flap to
lay on the floor. If any excess is not tucked completely behind
the outer door, it will bunch up between the door and toe kick
and impede proper opening and closing of the door. This will
be noticeable because the door will not stay fully open and
will spring up.
Tip: Reduce sound from under the dishwasher. Make sure
toekick is against floor.
