GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For a permanently connected appliance:
This appliance must be connected to grounded metal, a permanent wiring system, or an
equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to
the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.
The dishwasher is very heavy. Do not attempt to move or carry a dishwasher alone. Two or
more people are needed to move a dishwasher and avoid potential injuries.
If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, a service agent or
similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
Do not touch the power cable with wet hands.
Do not connect another appliance to the same power outlet as the dishwasher.
Make sure to use a new water supply line. Old lines are susceptible to breakage because
they become hardened and may cause property damage due to a water leakage.
The dishwasher must be connected to a hot water supply with a temperature between 120
˚F (49 ˚C) ~ 149 °F (65 ˚C). This temperature range provides the best washing result and
shortest cycle time. Temperature should not exceed 149 ˚F (65 ˚C) to prevent damage to
dishes.
Ensure that the water supplied to the dishwasher does not freeze. Frozen water can
damage the hoses, valves, pump, or other components.
Certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments.
(NSF/ANSI Standard 184 for Residential Dishwashers)

New installation
If the dishwasher is a new installation, most of the installation work must be done before the
dishwasher is moved into place.
Replacement
If the dishwasher is replacing an old dishwasher, you must check the exising dishwasher connections
for compatibility with the new dishwasher. Repace the existing connections as necessary.
STEP 2 SELECT THE BEST LOCATION FOR THE DISHWASHER
The following criteria are important to ensure the best location for the dishwasher:
- The location must have a solid floor that is able to support the weight of the dishwasher.
- The location must be near a sink with easy access to the water supply, drain, and electrical
outlet.
For the drain to operate properly, the dishwasher should be installed within 9.8 ft (3 m) of
the sink.
- The location must let you load your dishes into the dishwasher easily.
- The location must have sucient space for the dishwasher door to open easily and provide
enough space between the dishwasher and the cabinet sides (at least 0.1 in (2 mm)).
If the dishwasher is installed in a corner, ensure that the side of the dishwasher is more than
2 in. (50 mm) from the wall or cabinet to its right or left.
- The wall at the back must be free of obstructions.
If this is a new installation, follow these steps:
1. Using a 2 ½ inch hole saw, cut a hole into the side of the cabinet that holds the sink as
shown in Figure 1 below.
2. If the base inside the sink cabinet is raised above the kitchen floor and is higher than the
connections on the dishwasher, make a hole in the base inside the cabinet and in the cabinet
side as shown in Figure 1-2.
Depending on where your electrical outlet is, you may need to cut a hole in the opposite
cabinet side.

02 INSTALLING THE DISHWASHER
STEP 8 LEVELING THE DISHWASHER
1. Open the door and place the level against the top of the
tub on the inside and check if the the dishwasher is level.
If it is not level, rotate the leveling legs at the bottom front
of the dishwasher until the dishwasher is level.
See the first note below for instructions on adusting the
height of the front legs.
2. Use the level to check if the dishwasher is level front to
back, as shown in the figure to the right.
If the dishwasher is not level front to back, adjust the
height of the rear leg until the dishwasher is level.
See the second note below for instructions on adusting
the the rear leg.
3. Open the door of the dishwasher and
check if both the tub and door clearances
are correct.
If not, rotate the leveling legs on the
bottom front of the dishwasher.
You can aslo check this by placing a level
against an inside front vertical surface of
the tub.
If the leveling legs are rotated to the right (counter
clockwise), they are loosened and the front of the
dishwasher is raised. If they are rotated to the left
(clockwise), they are tightened and the front of the
dishwasher is lowered.
To adjust the height of a rear leg, turn the Hexbolt (at
the front of the base) to the left to raise the back of the
dishwasher using the proper tool (Hex L-wrench or
similar tool).
Before you move the dishwasher for installation, make sure to adjust the height of the
legs so the legs are as short as possible. This prevents the legs from breaking. Level the
dishwasher by adjusting the height of the legs after you have the dishwasher in place.
That if the product is installed unleveled or with the leg missing, the door may not close
completely, causing a leak of steam or water.

STEP 9 SECURING THE DISHWASHER
You must fix the dishwasher to the countertop or cabinet side walls for additional stability and safety.
1. If the countertop is made of wood or the material will not be damaged by drilling, follow
the instructions in 2-1 below.
If the countertop is made of granite, marble, or any other material that can be damaged
by drilling, follow the instructions in 2-2 below.
2-1. If the installation brackets on the front of the dishwasher are too long cut them down
using a pliers as shown in Figure 8.
Put a large towel into the bottom of the dishwasher (covering the sump) to prevent wood
shavings or a dropped screw from falling into the dishwasher sump.
Carefully drill two screw holes into the bottom of the counter-top from beneath, one for
each counter-top bracket, and another two screw holes into the sides of the kitchen
cabinet, one for each side bracket.
Make sure the hole you drill is smaller than the diameter of the screw.
Insert the provided screws into the brackets, and then tighten to secure the dishwasher to
the counter top.
2-2. Put a large towel into the bottom of the dishwasher (covering the sump) to prevent wood
shavings or a dropped screw from falling into the dishwasher sump. Remove the tub
spacer caps with the tip of a screwdriver. The cap is used for the top of the inlets in the
sides of the tub. (Figure 9 on the next page).
Drill one upper hole and one lower hole into both sides of the kitchen cabinet, totaling
4screw holes.
Make sure the hole you drill is smaller than the diameter of the screw.
Also make sure the drill bit does not strike the sides of the spacer cap holes. Insert the
provided screws into the holes, and then tighten to secure the dishwasher to the cabinet.
Make sure the tub is not distorted by pressure from the screws.
If the tub is distorted, loosen the screws a little.

3. Check the size of the sink’s drain hose connector. If needed, cut the drain hose so its end
fits onto the sink connector (½ in., ¾ in. or 1 in. - as shown in Figure 11 below). If the end
of the drain hose does not fit onto the drain hose connector of the sink, use an adaptor
purchasable at a plumbing/hardware supply store.
4. Slide a hose clamp over the end of the drain hose. Attach the drain hose to the sink
connector, slide the hose clamp to the end of the hose, and then tighten the hose clamp.
Note : You must use a hose clamp. Failure to do so may cause water leakage.
5 . If there is no air gap, make sure to hang the middle of the drain hose well above the sink
cabinet base to prevent backflow (see Figure 12 below).
Be careful when cutting o the end of the drain hose as there is a risk of injury. Clean
around the sink’s drain connection so that it does not damage the hose. Check for any
foreign items in the drain hose and remove them.
