INSTAllATION INSTRUCTIONS
These installation instructions are intended for use by Qualified Installers.
STEP 1: PREPARE CABINET OPENING
1. This dishwasher is designed to fit a standard
dishwasher opening as shown in Fig. 1.
2. Select a location as close to sink as possible for
easy connections to water and drain lines.
3. To ensure proper drainage, the dishwasher
should not be installed more than 10 ft. (3 m)
from the sink.
,
,
If dishwasher is to be installed in a corner, a
minimum of 2 in. (50 mm) is required between
the dishwasher and an adjacent wall.
To allow for proper clearance of plumbing and
electrical, measure a 4" x 7" target area
(Fig. 3) on the side of the cabinet where the
cabinet meets the back wall. Using a 21/2"
diameter hole saw, drill a hole in the target area
within 63/4"of the floor, and no more than 3"
from the back wall. If there is a floor in the
cabinet under the sink, it will also be necessary
to drill or cut through the floor to connect the
water and drain under the sink.
NOTES:
• Failure to cut this opening will result in the drain
hose interfering with the rear wall, preventing
flush mount installation.
• Ensure that the floor under the dishwasher is at
the same level as the rest of the room to allow
for any service requirements.
FIG. 3i

For flush installations ONLY, you may remove the
cabinet brace inside the cabinet. An opening (on either side) is required to route
plumbing and electrical connections.

local codes.
STEP 2: PREPARE THE ELECTRICAL WIRING
1. This appliance must be operated with correct
voltage as shown in this manual and on the
rating plate, and connected to a dedicated
properly grounded branch circuit, protected
by a time-delay fuse. Wiring must be 3 wires
including ground.
2. The wiring or cord should be in an accessible
location adjacent to and not behind the
dishwasher and within 4 ft. (1.2 m) of the
dishwasher side.
3. The wiring or cord must be grounded properly.
If in doubt, have it checked by a qualified
electrician. Do NOT connect any other
appliance to the same outlet.
4. The wiring or cord must be routed as shown in
Fig. 4 below.
5. Make sure electrical cable is oriented in the
bottom channels as shown in the figure below.
If you find any damage to the dishwasher,
