Select a location as close to the sink as possible for

ready access to water and drain lines.

Most of the installation work is done before the

dishwasher is moved into place.

Any built-in dishwasher must be fully enclosed on the

top, both sides and back.Therefore the cabinet space

below your counter is probably the best location.

Choosing the Location

Choosing a Location

If the dishwasher is to be installed in a corner, make

sure there isadequate clearance to open the door. See

Figure 6.

For proper operation and appearance of the dishwasher,

the cabinet opening should be square and have dimen-

sions as shown in Figure 5.

Plumbing Preparation

Hot W ater Supply

• The hot water line to the dishwasher must provide

between 5 - 120 psi (0.3-8.27 bars) water pressure.

• A 3/8” minimum O.D. copper tubing inlet line is

recommended.

• All solder connections must be made before water

line is connected to the dishwasher’s inlet water

valve.Do not solder within 6 inches (152.4 mm)

of the dishwasher’s inlet water valve.

•Drill a 1” (25.4 mm) diameter access hole in the

cabinet for the water supply line (Figure 9A).

• Run the line to the approximate fill valve location,

as shown in Figure 9A.

It is recommended that a shut-off valve (not supplied)

be installed in the hot water supply line in a readily

accessible location, see Figure 9.

NOTE: If connection to an air gap is required

by local code,air gap kitsare available from local

plumbing sources. Install the air gap according

to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Drain Hose

The dishwasher comeswith a seven (7) foot drain hose.

• A 1.25” access hole must be made to allow the

drain hose to be run to the drain connection

location.

IMPORTANT

If no air gap is used and the drain line is

run into a sink or disposer, the drain line

must be elevated to a point higher than the

highest water level of the sink to prevent

back siphoning into the dishwasher.

CAUTION

To protect against possible rupture of the fill valve,

water lines leading to the dishwasher, as well as

water linesin the dishwasher MUST be protected

against freezing.If the valve or water line freezes,

floodingmay occur.Such rupturesare not covered

by the warranty.

Electrical Preparation

• Cut a 1” (25.4mm) diameter hole in the cabinet (in

area of Figure 9 B). For wood cabinets, sand the

hole until smooth. For metal cabinets, cover the

edge with a grommet.

• Run flexible cable (as codes permit) from junction

through hole in cabinet. Cable should extend 30”

(762 mm) from back wall.

Electrical Supply

It is the customer’s responsibility to insure that the

dishwasher installation is in compliance with all natio-

nal and local electrical codes and ordinances. The

dishwasher is designed to operate with a 120V, 60Hz,

AC only electrical supply. Connect to a separate

electrical circuit with a fuse or circuit breaker rated

for 15 Amps. A 20 Amp fuse or circuit breaker may be

used if the dishwasher isconnected with a food dispo-

ser, but not more than 20 Amps. Use Copper supply

conductors only. The dishwasher should be properly

grounded,positioned as shown in Figure 9, and should

be installed by a qualified electrician. N o other

appliances or outlets should be connected to this cir-

cuit. Openings for electrical lines must be in-

stalled in the marked areasasshown in Fig-

ures8 and 9 to avoid interference with the

dishwasher frame or other components.

Placing the Dishwasher

The profile strips on the sides of the dishwasher allow

the dishwasher to fit into a cabinet opening with a

width of 24" (610 mm) to 24-1/4" (616 mm).Before

sliding the dishwasher into the cabinet opening:

• Straighten the hot water supply line and the

electrical cable (see Figure 11).

• Level & Align (initial adjustments).

• Guide the drain hose carefully (avoiding kinks in

hose) as the dishwasher is slid into the cabinet

opening.

• Make final levelingadjustments (see FIN AL STEPS

Section).

• To maintain the dishwasher position and alignment,

first determine which type of mounting your

dishwasher needs:

Top Mount is used for all types of countertops that

will not be damaged by drilling.

• For a top mount, position the brackets flat on

each of the top cornersof the dishwasher asshown

in Figure 10A.

Side Mount is used when there is a granite, marble

or other hard natural surface counter top that

could be damaged by drilling.

• For a side mount,bend the brackets,then position

them as shown in Figure 10B.

• Drive Mounting Screws (see Figure 3) through the

holes in the brackets. See Figure 10A or 10B.

• Connect the drain hose,hot water supply line and

electrical connectionsasdescribed in the following

sections.
