Installation Preparation-Drain
PREPARE DRAIN PLUMBING
Drain Requirements
• Follow local codes and ordinances.
• Drain hose must not exceed 10 feet in length.
• A high drain loop or air gap is required. See below.
Drain Method
The type of drain installation depends on the
following:
• Do local codes or ordinances require an air gap?
• Is waste tee less than 18" above the floor?
If the answer to either question is YES,an air gap
(Method 1) must be used. If both answers are NO,
either an air gap or a high drain loop (Method 2)
mag be used.
CAUTION
An air gap MUST BE USED if the drain hose is connected to
waste tee or disposer lower then 18" above the floor level.
Failure to provide the proper drain connection height with
an air gap or 32" minimum, high drain loop will result in
improper draining of the dishwasher, which may cause
damage.
METHOD 1-Air Gap with Waste Tee or Disposer

Cabinet Preparation
Drill a 1-1/2" diameter hole in the cabinet wall within
the shaded area shown in Figure Efor the drain
hose. IVlakesure there are no sharp edges. The drain
hose will be passed through this hole and connected
to the drain in a later step.
IMPORTANT- When
connecting the drain line to a
disposer, check to be sure that
drain plug has been removed.
Dishwasher will not drain if
plug is left in place.

• Turn off the water supplg.
• Install a hand shut-off vatve in on accessible
location. (Optional, but strongtg recommended and
mag be required bg local codes.)
• The water connection is on the left side of the
dishwasher. Install the hot water inlet line, using
3/8" or larger copper tubing. Route the line as
shown in Figure Fand extend forward at least 19"
from rear wall.
• Adjust the water heater to deliver water between
120°F and 150°F.
• Flush water line to clean out debris. Use a bucket
to catch water and debris.
• The hot water supplg line pressure must be
between 20 and 120 PSt.
CAUTION
The hot water supply line pressure must be at least 20 PSI.
Lower pressures could cause the water valve to leak and
cause water damage.
Sink Utility Connections
Sink faucet hot and cold water lines and the sink
drain line must run above and adjacent to the
dishwasher, not behind it. Refer to Areas A and C
in Figure A on page 3 and Figure F1 below. This is
necessarg to provide clearance for the dishwasher
when it is installed in the cabinet. Utilitg lines routed
directlg behind the dishwasher will interfere with
placement of the dishwasher in the cabinet and
cause it to extend begond the adjacent cabinets.
Figure F1 illustrates an installation using a double
bowl sink, a disposer and a high drain loop.
Note: All utilitg lines are above, below or adjacent to
the dishwasher. None are routed behind it.

IMPORTANT - Do not push against the front
panel with knees. Damage will occur.
• Grasp the sides of the front panel and slide the
dishwasher into the opening a few inches at
a time. Pull the drain hose and power cord, if
equipped, through the holes in the adjacent
cabinet while sliding the dishwasher into position.
Figure _)
Do not ush a ainst

• Check the tub insulation blanket, if equipped, to
be sure it is smoothly wrapped around the tub.
It should not be "bunched up" and it must not
interfere with the door springs. If the insulation
is "bunched up" or interfering with the springs,
straighten and re-center the blanket prior to sliding
the dishwasher into its final position.
• IVlake sure the drain hose is not kinked under or
behind the dishwasher.
• IVlake certain the house wiring, drain line, and
water line do not interfere with components under
the dishwasher.
• The dishwasher tub flange should be
approximately 3/4" behind the face of the adjacent
cabinet. Refer to Figure R.
Tip: Avoid unnecessary service charges for panel
damage.
Do not press on the center of panel with hands or
knees when sliding dishwasher into position.

STEP 12: POSITION AND LEVEL
DISHWASHER
IMPORTANT- Dishwasher must be level for
proper dish rack operation, wash performance,
and door operation. The dishwasher must be
leveled left to right and front to back. This assures
that the dish racks will not roll in or out on their
own, circulation water will flow to the pump inlet,
and the door will close without hitting the side of
the tub.
• Remove the lower dish rack and place a level on
the door and lower rack track as shown in Figure R.

• The dishwasher is properly leveled when the level
indicator is centered left to right and front to back.
The dishwasher door should close without hitting
the sides of the tub.
• Replace the lower rack.
Tip: Avoid unnecessary service charges for poor
wash performance and rack operation.
Pull the dish racks halfway out. They should remain
stationary. Open and close the door. The door should
fit in the tub opening without hitting the side of the
tub. If the racks roll on their own, or the door hits the
side of the tub, re-level the dishwasher.

STEP 13: FASTEN DISHWASHER TO
UNDERSIDE OF COUNTERTOP OR SIDES
OF CABINET
In this step you will need the two 5/8" Phillips head
wood screws set aside in Step 2.
IMPORTANT - Dishwasher must be centered
in cabinet opening. Interference with cabinets or
countertop will cause leaks and damage to the
door panel and/or control panel.
•If countertop is wood or woodlike material, fasten
the dishwasher to the countertop bg driving the
Phillips head screws through the countertop
brackets and into the countertop.
• If the countertop is granite or similar material,
drive Phillips screws through side mount brackets
and into the adjacent cabinets.
• Make sure screws are driven straight and flush
to prevent interference with door operation and
damage to the control panel. See Figure T.

STEP 14: CONNECT WATER SUPPLY
Connect the water supplg line to the 90° elbow
installed in Step 6.
• Slide the compression nut and then the ferrule over
end of the water line.
• Insert the water line into the 90° elbow.
• Slide the ferrule against the elbow and secure
with the compression nut.

IMPORTANT - Check to be sure the door
spring does not rub or contact the fill hose or
water supply line. Test by opening and closing the
door. Re-route the water supply lines or slightly
bend the water valve bracket if a rubbing noise or
interference occurs.
Tip: Avoid unnecessary service charges for noise
or leaks
Make sure the door spring does not rub against the
fill hose or water supplg line.

STEP 16: CONNECT POWER SUPPLY
If a power cord with plug is already installed,
proceed to Step 17.
If house wiring is not 2-wire with a ground

When house wiring is aluminum, be sure to
use U.L. listed anti-oxidant compound and
aluminum-to-copper connectors.
