Proper Installation
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
PROPER INSTALLATION
• Please install your dishwasher properly by following this installation guide.
• Do not install the dishwasher on a carpet, as this is a fire hazard.
• Do not install the dishwasher in a location where the water may freeze (where the
temperature falls below 32°F). Frozen water in the hoses or pipes may damage the
dishwasher.
• Water supply inlet temperature should be between 120°F and 149°F.
• Dispose of all packing materials for this appliance properly.
• The dishwasher must be properly grounded or it can result in a risk of electric shock.
A permanent electrical connection is allowed.
• Do not operate the appliance if it’s damaged, malfunctioning, partially
disassembled, or has missing or broken parts. If the unit arrives damaged, contact
ZLINE at 1-614-777-5004 for help.
BASIC PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USE
• Read all instructions and precautions in both the installation manual and user manual
before using the dishwasher.
• Please note this installation manual does not cover every possible condition and
situation that may occur. A qualified technician or plumber must install the product.
• Use the dishwasher only for the intended functions described in this manual.
• When loading dishes and other items to be washed:
- Load sharp items and knives so they do not damage the door seal and tub.
- Load sharp items and knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of injury.
• Do not wash plastic food storage receptacles (e.g. Tupperware) or other items
unless they are marked dishwasher-safe. If they are not marked, check with the
manufacturer for recommendations, as items that are not dishwasher-safe may melt
and create a potential fire hazard.
• If the dishwasher drains into a food/garbage disposal, make sure the disposal is
completely empty before running the dishwasher.

Basic Precautions Before Use
• Do not tamper with the control panel on the dishwasher.
• Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are in the proper place.
• Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after any washing,
sanitizing, or drying cycle to reduce the risk of injury.
• To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on a dishwasher. Keep
young children and pets away from the dishwasher when it is operating. Do not let
children abuse, sit, or stand on the door or racks of the dishwasher.
• Do not use the dishwasher if it has a damaged power line or plug. Do not plug the
dishwasher into a damaged outlet. Failure to observe these instructions may result in
electrical shock or death.
• Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher. Keep
them out of the reach of children and away from pets.
• Some dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline. They can be extremely dangerous
if swallowed. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes and keep children away from the
dishwasher when the door is open.
• Under certain rare conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system
that has not been used for two weeks or more. If the hot water system has not been
used for such a period, before using the dishwasher, turn on all hot water faucets
and let water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated
hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas is flammable. Do not smoke or use an open flame
during this time to reduce risk of fire, injury, or death.
• Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline, or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher
from service or discarding it.
• This dishwasher is intended for residential use only and should not be used in
commercial establishments. This appliance is not applicable for outdoor usage. The
manufacturer disclaims responsibility for damage or injury caused by improper use
of this appliance.
For your safety, please follow the information in this manual to minimize
the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, and to help prevent property
damage or personal injury.

Electrical Precautions
BEFORE INSTALLATION
ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
• As with all equipment using electricity, water, and moving parts, potential hazards
exist. To safely operate this appliance, become familiar with its operation and
exercise care when using it.
• The dishwasher must be properly grounded. Never connect it to an ungrounded outlet.
• For a permanently connected appliance, the dishwasher must be connected to
grounded metal 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 at roughly 100 pounds. Do not attempt to move or
carry a dishwasher alone. Two or more people are needed to move a dishwasher
and avoid potential injuries.
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
• To ensure the dishwasher is properly grounded, connect the ground wire to the green
ground connector in the junction box. Refer to page 20 for further details on proper
electrical wiring connections.
• Do not use an extension cord for this appliance.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or injury to persons, the installer must ensure
that dishwasher is completely enclosed at the time of installation.
Prior to removal of the original dishwasher and the installation of your
new unit, make sure to switch off your circuit breaker. Do not connect the
dishwasher until you have fully completed the installation. Connecting
the power cable is the last step when installing the dishwasher. All wiring
and grounding must be done in accordance with the electrical code
applicable to the region.
CAUTION
Do not touch the power cable with wet hands. Do not connect
another appliance to the same power outlet as the dishwasher.
Doing so increases the risk of electrical shock.
WARNING
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electric
shock:

Water Connection Precautions
BEFORE INSTALLATION
Do not use the dishwasher until it is correctly installed. Do not push
down on the door when it is open. Do not place excessive weight on
the open door.
WARNING
• In addition to these instructions, the dishwasher shall be installed in accordance with
all local codes, or in absence of a local code:
- In the United States, with the National Electric Code ANSI/NPA70- latest
edition.
- In Canada, with the Canadian Electric Code C22.1-latest edition/ Provincial
and Municipal codes and/or local codes.
• Only connect the dishwasher to the power supply when all installation and
plumbing work is complete. Before installation or service, disconnect the power
supply to the work area by unplugging the unit, “tripping” the circuit breaker, or
removing the fuse.
WATER CONNECTION SAFETY
• 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 and 149°F. This temperature range provides the best washing result
and shortest cycle time. Temperature should not exceed 149°F 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.
• Do not use plastic tubing. Plastic tubing can deteriorate over time and cause a
leak inside the tube fitting. We strongly recommend using copper tubing with a
compression fitting or a flexible stainless steel braided hot water supply line.
• Ensure that there are no visible water leaks during and after the first use of the
appliance.
• To avoid risk of injury, always use caution when opening the door during or
following a wash cycle, as hot water or steam may escape.

Preparing the Dishwasher Enclosure
BEFORE INSTALLATION
PRODUCT DIMENSIONS
The water supply line, power cable, and drain hose should go through the space
behind the dishwasher. The power cable and water line run through channels under the
dishwasher (see Front View image above) to connections in the front.
ENCLOSURE DIMENSIONS
This dishwasher is designed to be enclosed on the top and on both sides by a standard
residential kitchen cabinet unit. The installation enclosure must be clean and free of any
obstructions. The enclosure must be at least 17 3/4” or 23 5/8” wide (depending on
the 18” or 24” unit), 23” deep, and 32 1/2” high.
For the front door of the
dishwasher to be flush with
the leading edge of the
counter top, the counter
top must be at least 23”
deep. For proper kick
plate height installation,
there needs to be a 2-3”
wood filler between the
bottom of the counter
top and the top of the
dishwasher so as to not
over extend the bottom of
the dishwasher.
