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)

8_ installing the dishwasher
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.

STEP 3 CHECK WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS AND CAUTIONS
• The hot water supply line pressure must be between 20~120 psi (140~830 kPa).
• Adjust the water heater to deliver water between 120 ˚F (49 ˚C) ~ 149 ˚F (65 ˚C).
- The dishwasher must be connected to a hot water supply 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 supply valve is turned o before connecting the hot water supply line to
the dishwasher.
- Seal the hot water supply line connections using teflon tape or sealing compound to stop any
water leakage.
- The drain hose connected to the dishwasher must be run through the hole in the side wall so
it can be connected to the drain outlet of the sink. When you install the dishwasher, ensure
there is nothing on the drain hose and be careful not to tear it during the installation process.

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 also 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

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 extend cut them down using a
nipper as shown in Figure 8 on the next page.
Put a large towel into the bottom of the dishwasher to prevent wood shavings or a
dropped screw from falling into the dishwasher.
Carefully drill screw holes into the counter top bottom by passing the drill bit through a
screw hole in each bracket, and then drilling into the counter top bottom beneath.
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 to prevent wood shavings or a
dropped screw from falling into the dishwasher. Remove the tub spacer caps with the tip
of a screwdriver. The caps are just inside the tub near the top of the tub on both sides
(Figure 9 on the next page).
Drill a hole into the sides of the kitchen cabinet on both sides by carefully passing a drill
bit through the screw holes exposed by the removal of the spacer caps, and then drilling
into the cabinet side beneath.
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.
Replace the tub spacer caps.
• The screws or tub spacer cap may fall into the dishwasher while you are working
with the door open. Cover the interior of the dishwasher with a towel to prevent
any screws from falling into the dishwasher. If any foreign items such as a screw
get into the dishwasher, it may cause noise, an abnormal operation, damage, or a
malfunction.
• Use a magnetic screwdriver to help prevent screws from falling into the dishwasher.
• If a foreign item such as a screw gets into the dishwasher and you are unable to
remove it, the dishwasher needs to be disassembled. Contact a qualified service
technician for this.

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 13 below).
6. When drilling a hole for the drain hose on the cabinet wall, take caution not to damage the
drain hose by sharp edges of the hole. On wooden walls, use sanding to soften the edges.
On metal walls, use insulation tape or duct tape to cover the sharp edges around the hole.
7. Take caution not the damage the drain hose when installing the dishwasher on the floor, wall,
or cabinet.
To prevent leaks or drainage problems, make sure the drain hose is not damaged, kinked,
or twisted.
8. Do not cut the wrinkled area of the drain hose to fit the size. When arranging the drain hose,
take caution not to contact on sharp edges of the cabinet or under-sink.
• 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.
• When arranging the drain hose, make sure the drain hose is not cut, torn, or broken
by any sharp edges of the floor, the product itself, or the cabinet. A damaged drain
hose causes a leak.
