WARNING
Do not use plastic tubing. Plastic tubing can deteriorate over time and cause a leak inside
the tube tting.
NOTE
• For the hot water line, we strongly recommend using ⁄" minimum O.D. copper tubing
with a compression tting or a exible stainless steel braided hot water supply line.
• You also need a 90°Fitting with ⁄" N.P.T. external pipe threads on one end and a tting
sized to t your hot water line (copper tubing/compression tting or braided hose) on
the other.
• For the power cable, we recommend a jacketed grounded 12-2 cable. Note that some
local codes may require the cable to have a BX style metal jacket.

packaging.
3. Unpack the product packaging with
care.
4. Inspect every component for any signs
of damage.
5. Locate and set aside the dishwasher's
kick plate. The kick plate is attached
beside of the dishwasher.
6. Lift the dishwasher from the packing
material, and then place it on the oor.

Installation requirements
To prevent a risk of re, electric shock, or
personal injury, all wiring and grounding
must be done by a qualied technician.
Power supply
• To prevent the risk of re, electric
shock, or personal injury, all wiring
and grounding must be performed in
accordance with the National Electrical
Code ANSI/FNPA, No. 70 Latest Revision
and local codes and ordinances. It is the
personal responsibility of the appliance
owner to provide adequate electrical
service for this appliance.
• When preparing for installation, make
sure that your power supply provides
an individual 120 Volt, 60 Hz branch
circuit serving only your dishwasher
with a 15 AMP fuse or circuit breaker.
• Your dishwasher must be grounded. If
your dishwasher malfunctions or breaks
down, grounding will reduce the risk of
electric shock by providing a path of
least resistance for the electric current.
WARNING
• Do not use an extension cord.
• Use only the power plug that comes
with the dishwasher.
Grounding
For permanent grounding, the dishwasher
must be properly grounded to a grounded
metal or permanent wiring system. The
grounding conductor must be run with
the circuit conductors and then connected
to the grounding terminal or lead on the
dishwasher.
WARNING
• Do not connect the ground wire to
plastic plumbing, gas lines, or hot water
pipes. Improperly connected grounding
conductors may cause electric shock.
• Do not modify the power plug of the
dishwasher. If the power plug does
not t the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualied electrician.

Water supply
• The hot water supply line must support
water pressures between 20 psi and
120 psi (140-830 kPa).
• Water temperatures must be between
120 °F (49 °C)and 149 °F (65 °C).
To reduce a risk of leaks:
• Make sure water taps are easily
accessible.
• Turn the water tap off when the
dishwasher is not in use.
• Check for any leaks at the water hose
ttings on a regular basis.
Flooring
For safety, the dishwasher must be
installed on a solidly constructed oor.
Wooden oors may need to be reinforced
to minimize vibrations. Avoid installing
on carpet or soft tile. Carpeting and soft
tile may cause vibrations and may cause
your dishwasher to move slightly while
operating.
WARNING
Do not install the dishwasher on a poorly
supported structure.

Step-by-step installation
The installation procedure may differ depending on the model.
STEP 1 Select a location
Select a location that meets the following conditions.
• The location must have a solid oor that can support the weight of the dishwasher.
• The location must be near a sink (9.8 ft/3 m) with easy access to the water supply,
drain system, and electrical outlet.
• The location must let you load dishes into the dishwasher easily.
• The location must have sufcient space for the dishwasher door to open easily
and provide enough space between the dishwasher and the cabinet sides (at least
0.1 inch/2 mm).
• The rear wall must be free of obstructions.
Installation in a new location
A
B
If you install the dishwasher in a new
location, follow these instructions before
installing the dishwasher.
1. Using a hole saw, cut a hole into the side
of the cabinet that holds the sink (A).
2. If the base inside the sink cabinet is raised
above the kitchen oor and is higher than
the connections on the dishwasher, make
a hole in the base inside the cabinet and in
the cabinet side (B).
NOTE
• If you are replacing an old dishwasher,
check the existing connections for
compatibility with the new dishwasher
and replace the connections as needed.
• You may need to cut a hole in the
opposite side of the cabinet according to
the location of the electrical outlet.

STEP 2 Connect the hot water line
• The water line pressure must be between 20 psi and 120 psi (140–830 kPa).
• Make sure that the water temperature is delivered between 120 °F and 149 °F (49-
60 °C). Exceeding this limit may cause the dishwasher to malfunction.
• Make sure that the circuit breaker and water valve is turned off before connecting the
water supply line to the dishwasher.
• Make sure the water line is properly connected. Wrap Teon tape around every
connection and joint to prevent water leaks.
