SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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.
Certied residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments.
(NSF/ANSI Standard 184 for Residential Dishwashers)
For a full list of safety information, please refer to the User Manual.

NOTE
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 oor 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.
NOTE
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 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 in
(2 mm)).
NOTE
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.
• Make sure the cabinet for the dishwasher is secured to the oor. If the cabinet is not
secured, it may increase noise when the dishwasher is operating.
