14 INSTALLATION
Installation Location
Requirements
Preparing Cabinet Opening
This dishwasher is designed to fit a standard
dishwasher opening. An opening may be
needed on sides to route plumbing and electrical
connections.
•To ensure proper drainage, install the
dishwasher no more than 12 ft. (3.65 m) from
the sink.
•The location must have sufficient space for the
dishwasher door to open easily and provide at
least 0.1” (2 mm) between the dishwasher and
the cabinet sides.
•If installing the dishwasher in a corner, leave a
minimum of 2” (50 mm) between the dishwasher
and the adjacent wall.
•The adjacent wall must be free of obstructions.
•For flush installations only, you may remove the
cabinet brace ainside the cabinet.
1 Select a location as close to the sink as
possible for easy connections to water supply
line, drain hose and electrical connection.

2 Check that all surfaces have no protrusions,
lips or other trim that would prohibit
dishwasher installation.
3 To allow for proper clearance of plumbing and
electrical, use the template included with the
literature to determine the clearance on the
side of the cabinet where the cabinet meets
the back wall. Using a 2 ½” diameter hole saw,
drill a hole in the target area as shown on the
template.

WARNING
•Installation damage is not covered by the
warranty, and leaks caused by improper
installation may result in property damage.
•Do not use existing holes unless they are in
the target area.
•Failure to properly locate the hole for the
water and drain lines may prevent the
dishwasher from installing flush with the
cabinets and could result in kinked, pinched,
crushed, stressed or damaged lines.
Checking the Cabinet Panel
This dishwasher is designed to work with a cabinet
front panel (not provided) which slides up as the
door is opened. Before installing the dishwasher,
check the weight and dimensions of the cabinet
front panel you have selected.
•The dishwasher can support panels weighing
5.5–24.2 lb (2.5–11 kg).

ENGLISH
15
INSTALLATION
•If the cabinet panel weighs between 17.6 lb (8
kg) and 24.2 lb (11 kg), adjust the door spring
tension to make the door easier to open. See
the Adjusting Door Spring Tension section.

You can adjust the width dimensions of the wood
panel to match the cabinet width.
Installing Moisture Barrier
Tape
Install the moisture barrier tape to the underside
of the countertop to protect the surface from
condensation when the appliance is opened.
1 Clean and dry the area on the underside of
the countertop and the sides of the cabinet
opening where the tape will be applied.
2 Remove the protective film from the tape.
3 Install the tape on the underside of the
countertop.
4 Install the shorter pieces of tape to the sides of
the cabinet opening at the top.
NOTE
•Moisture barrier tape is included in the manual
assembly bag.
•If the countertop is made of granite or a
waterproof material, the moisture barrier tape is
not required.
•Condensation may occur on the underside or
along the front edge of the countertop when the
room temperature is low.
Installing Fleece Tape
Attaching fleece tape between the dishwasher
door and the cabinet panel will reduce the friction
when the door slides up and down.
1 Install the fleece tape close to the bracket
openings to make sure the door slides
smoothly.
2 Peel the fleece tape strips off the carrier and
attach them to the door.

7 Unplug the power cord.
8 Turn off the water supply and disconnect the
water supply tube at the tap.
WARNING
Water Connection
•Do not reuse an old hose. Use only a new
hose when installing the dishwasher. The old
hose could leak or burst causing flooding and
property damage. Contact a SIGNATURE
KITCHEN SUITE Customer Information
Center for assistance in buying a new hose.
Electrical Connection
•Use a time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.
•Operate this appliance with the correct
voltage as shown in this manual and on the
rating plate.
•The wiring must be grounded properly. If
in doubt, have it checked by a qualified
electrician.
•The appliance and outlet must be positioned
so that the plug is easily accessible.

ENGLISH
17
INSTALLATION
CAUTION
•When connecting the dishwasher water
supply line to the house water supply, sealing
tape or compound should be used on pipe
threads to avoid leaks. Tape or compound
should not be used on compression fittings.
•Connect the dishwasher to a hot water
supply with a temperature range between
120 °F (49 °C) and 149 °F (65 °C). This
temperature range provides the best washing
results and shortest cycle time. To prevent
damage to dishes, the temperature should
not exceed 149 °F (65 °C).
•Water supply pressure must be between 20
psi and 80 psi (140–550 kPa). If the water
supply pressure exceeds 80 psi, a pressure
reducing valve must be installed. Otherwise
premature failure of the inlet valve may occur.
Sliding Dishwasher into
Cabinet Opening
CAUTION
•Do not pull or lift the dishwasher using the
door a. Doing so can damage the door and
hinges.
•Do not push the door of the dishwasher
with knees when sliding the dishwasher into
position. Doing so can damage the front
cover.
•Do not push the top of the dishwasher. Doing
so can damage the interior of the dishwasher.

18 INSTALLATION
NOTE
•Open the door and grab the body frame and the
top front opening bof the tub to move or lift the
dishwasher.
1 Align the dishwasher with the opening. Make
sure the water supply line and power cord
extend smoothly without kinks or bends.
2 Smooth out or pad the edges of the hole
drilled for the water supply to avoid damaging
the drain hose.
3 Make sure the drain hose is straight before
feeding the end of it through the hole for the
water supply. As you slide the dishwasher into
the opening, slowly pull on the drain hose from
inside the cabinet to take up some slack. Be
careful not to kink, pinch, crush or stress the
drain hose during installation to avoid leaking
and water damage.
4 Gradually slide the dishwasher into the
opening, making sure that the water supply
line and power cord are passing freely through
the opening and do not get caught under the
dishwasher.
•As you slide the dishwasher into the opening,
stop periodically (or have an assistant help)
to take up the slack by pulling the drain hose
farther into the cabinet.
CAUTION
•To avoid malfunctions or leakage, it is
important that the drain hose not get kinked,
pinched, stressed or crushed behind or under
the dishwasher or inside the neighboring
cabinet.
•Damage resulting from improper installation
is not covered under the warranty.

ENGLISH

INSTALLATION
Attaching Installation Brackets
For countertops made of wood or other material
that will not be damaged by drilling, use the metal
installation brackets provided.
For countertops made of granite, marble, or other
materials that could be damaged by drilling, use
the wood screws to attach the dishwasher to the
cabinet. See installation instructions in Securing
Dishwasher to Cabinet Opening.
NOTE
•Installation brackets and screws can be found in
the silverware basket.
1 Insert the tabbed end of the installation
brackets into the slots in the upper frame.
Rotate the brackets until the tabbed ends are
facing up.
Connecting Water Supply

adapter.
•The plug must be plugged into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
•Connect to a properly rated, protected,
and sized power circuit to avoid electrical
overload.
Connecting Drain Hose
If the end of the drain hose does not fit the drain
line, use a heat and detergent resistant adapter
(not supplied). These may be obtained from a local
plumbing supply store.
•Cut the adapter so the end matches the size of
