Choosing
the Location
•The dishwasher must be located within reach
of the drain hose. The maximum drain hose
length is 10 feet. Consideration for the
installation of a high drain loop or air gap
must be included when determining the
installation location. See “Prepare Drain
Plumbing”, page 8 and “Install Drain Plumb-
ing”, page 19.
•The rough opening should be 23-5/8" min.
to 24" max. wide, 24" deep and 34" to 35"
high.
•Adjacent cabinets should be square and
plumb to ensure a good fit.
•The floor inside the opening must be level
and even with the kitchen floor.
•The dishwasher must be fully enclosed on
the top, sides and back.
•Filler strips are provided to cover gaps on the
sides of dishwasher.
Select a location as
close to the sink as
possible for easy
access to water and
drain lines.

Cabinet Preparation & Wire Routing
•Wiring may enter from either side of the
opening, from the rear, or from the floor
within the shaded area shown.
•Cut hole 1-1/2" max. dia. within the shaded
area to admit the electrical cable or power
cord. The hole must be free of sharp edges. If
the cabinet wall partition is metal, the edge
of the hole must be covered with a rubber
cord protector.
Electrical Connections to Dishwasher
•For cable direct connections the cable must
be routed as shown in the diagram. Cable
must extend a minimum of 24" from the rear
wall.
•For power cord connections, install a 3-prong
grounding type receptacle in the rear wall of
sink cabinet next to the dishwasher. The
receptacle should be installed at least
6", but not more than 18", from the cabinet
opening for dishwasher. Power cord must be
no longer than 6 feet from the junction box
to the plug.
Electrical Requirements
•This appliance must be supplied with 120V,
60 Hz., and connected to an individual,
properly grounded branch circuit, protected
by a 15 or 20 ampere circuit breaker or time
delay fuse.
•Wiring must be 2 wire with ground.
•If the electrical supply provided does not
meet the above requirements, call a licensed
electrician before proceeding.
•A side-by-side dual installation requires two
separate circuits.
Grounding Instruction
This appliance must be connected to a
ground metal, permanent wiring system, or an
equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the
appliance.
CAUTION
Warning: The improper connec-
tion of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician or service

Hot Water
Supply
•Turn off the water supply.
•Cut a hole approximately 1-1/2" dia. within
the shaded area to admit the water line.
Access holes must be round and smooth.
•Install a hand shut-off valve in the hot water
supply line in an accessible location, such as
under the sink. (The shut-off valve is op-
tional, but recommended and may be
required in some local codes.)
•Install the hot water inlet line, using no less
than 3/8" O.D. copper tubing or 1/2" O.D.
plastic tubing.
•The water line must be long enough to form
a smooth natural loop with no sharp bends
or kinks between the cutout entry and fill
valve location. For a left side entry, allow
approximately 30" length. For a right side
entry, allow approximately 40" length.
•Extend the water line forward to approxi-
mate fill valve location.
•Adjust the water heater to deliver 120°F min.
water temperature.
•The water pressure of the hot water supply
line must be 20 to 120 psi.
The hot water supply
line may enter from
either side, the rear
or from the floor
within the shaded
area.

Plumbing
DRAIN REQUIREMENTS
•Follow local codes and ordinances.
•Dishwasher drain hose must not exceed 10
feet in length for proper drainage.
•Dishwasher must be connected to waste line
with an air gap (not supplied) or 32" mini-
mum high drain loop depending on local
codes and ordinances to prevent back flow
into the dishwasher.
•Air gap must be used if waste tee or disposer
connection is less than 18 inches above floor
to prevent shopping.
DRAIN PREPARATION
The type of drain installation depends on
answers to the following questions:
lDo local codes or ordinances require an
air gap?
lWill waste tee or disposer connection be
less than 18" above floor?
lWill installation have a drain loop less than
32" above floor?
If the answer to ANY of the 3 questions above
is YES, Method 2 MUST be used. Otherwise
either Method 1 or Method 2 may be used.

METHOD 2–Air Gap with Waste Tee or Disposer
Install air gap, waste tee or disposer according to
manufacturer’s instructions. Provide a method to support
drain hose at least 32" above floor to prevent back flow
into dishwasher.
An air gap MUST BE
USED if the drain
hose is connected to
waste tee or disposer
lower than 18" above
the floor level.
Failure to provide the
proper drain connec-
tion height with air
gap or 32" minimum
height drain loop will
result in improper
draining of the dish-
washer which may
cause damage.

•Carefully upright the dishwasher.
Important: The weight of the door panel may
cause the door to fall heavily. The correct
spring tension will prevent the door from
falling too heavily or raising by itself from a
fully open position.
•Hold the door and open fully. If the door
falls too heavily, or if the door starts to close
by itself, the spring tension will need to be
adjusted.
If adjustment is required:
•To locate the spring adjustment slots,
carefully lay the dishwasher on its back.
•Remove the 3 screws holding the base plate
to the bottom of the dishwasher.
•Locate the spring tension slots on the sides.
•With a pair of pliers, pull the spring clip out
and down to the next slot for more tension,
or up to the next slot for less tension.
•Upright the dishwasher and test door
balance. Continue this procedure until the
door is balanced.
