steam from collecting on the underside of the counter top.
FITTING THE PROTECTION FOIL
Before applying the steam protection foil to the
underside of the countertop, clean the area with
a damp cloth (as shown in Figure A). Once the
area dries, apply the steam protection foil.
CAUTION
Steam protection foil mustbe applied
where the steam escapes when door is
firstopened. Failure to install the steam
protection foil during installation can lead to
damage to the cabinets and countertop.
The steam protection
foil will be applied at the
location where the hot
steam escapes when you
firstopen the door (as
shown in Figure B).

6.5 INSTALLING THE SIDE TRIM
Make sure you are using the correct side of the trim. The flexible material should be facing
forward (Figure A)

• With metal braided hose.
• With copper tubing
• Hot water supply line: Use minimum 3/8” O.D. copper tubing or metal braided dishwasher
supply line.
• Temperatures required for soldering and sweating will damage the dishwasher’s water
inlet valve so if any such operation is needed, keep the heat source min. 77/8” (200mm)
away from the dishwasher’s water inlet valve.
• There should not be any sharp bends in the water line that may restrict the water flow.
• Teflon tape or pipe tread compound must be used for sealing the connection. Before
connecting the copper water supply line to the dishwasher, flush it with hot water to clear
any foreign material.

dishwasher drain hose to the plumbing drain connection.
2. Use the spring clamp to secure the rubber connection hose to the dishwasher drain
hose. Use the screw clamp to secure the rubber connection hose to the plumbing drain
connection.
10.2 DRAIN PREPARATION
The dishwasher drain hose may be connected to the drain plumbing in one of three ways
(Figure A, B, C).
NOTICE :
• Either one of the methods below mustbe used or the dishwasher will not operate
properly.
• A hose that attaches to a sink spray can burstif it is installed on the same water line as
the dishwasher. If your sink has one, it is recommended that the hose be disconnected
and the hole plugged.
• The total length of the drain hose is 7' (1950mm). If a hose extension is required, a
drainage hose of equal quality mustbe used.
• The maximum length mustnot exceed 157 ½” (4000mm). Otherwise, the cleaning
process is negatively influenced.

19 USA
10.3 DRAIN INSTALLATIONS
UNDER THE SINK DRAIN
Install a Y-branch tail pipe. (Figure A)
NOTICE :
You must add a loop at least 28” (710mm) above the floor of
the cabinet and above the drain connection in the drain hose
to prevent waste water from not draining properly, and causing
either poor washing results or a bad odor.
INSTALLING AN AIR GAP
If the local ordinance requires an air gap (Figure B).
NOTICE :
Check with local ordinance for type of air gap required.
INSTALLING WITH A DISPOSAL
Remove the drain connection plug before attaching the drain hose
from the dishwasher.
Every disposal has a hook up for a dishwasher; consult your
disposer manual for correct connection. (Figure C)
