For your safety, please read and observe all safety instructions. This guide will help you anticipate drain, water, and electrical connections, and help you select the best location for the dishwasher. Tip Over Hazard Do not use dishwasher until completely installed. Do not push down on open door. Failure to follow this warning can result in serious injury. Figure 4 4. Cut water access hole in shaded area in Figure 2. 5. Route water supply line into installation area. IMPORTANT: Incoming hot water temperature should be at least 120°F (49°C). Water pressure should be between 20–120 psi. Drain 1. Review Figures 5, 6 and 7 to see the different ways to connect dishwasher to drain system. Choose method that best suits your need. 2. If you connect to a sink drain, entry will need to be above trap. A “Y” branch tailpiece and connector kit, not included, will make this method easier and includes all needed fittings and instructions. See Figure 5. 5. Before cutting drain hose access, check both sides of selected area to avoid interference. Cut a 2” diameter hole in shaded area shown in Figure 2. 6. If the cabinet wall is wood, sand edges of hole until smooth and rounded. If cabinet wall is metal, cover all sharp edges with electrical or duct tape to avoid cutting drain hose. Installation Tips 1 Tools and Materials Needed for Installation • Drill, Electric • Driver, Socket 5/32”, 1/4” , 5/16” • Flaring Tool / Tube Cutter (for copper tubing) • Flashlight • Level • Pipe Joint Compound (for iron pipe plumbing) or Pipe Thread Tape (for sealing threads) • Pliers • Safety Glasses • Saw, Keyhole or 1/2”, 11/2” to 2” Hole Cutters • Screw Drivers, Slotted and #2 Phillips (magnetic tip preferred) • Tape, Electrical or Duct • Tape, Measuring • Wire Stripper or Utility Knife • Wrench, Hex-end • Wrenches, 2 Adjustable (for copper tubing) or 2 Pipe wrenches (for iron pipe plumbing) Electric Shock Hazard Electrical, water, and drain lines must be confined to shaded areas in Figure 2. Electric conductors, water, and drain could be damaged. Failure to follow these instructions could result in fire or electric shock. NOTE: If dishwasher is installed at end of a cabinet line, sides and back must be fully enclosed. NOTE: You can order a Cabinet Seal Kit (Kit # 154528701) by contacting your dealer or parts supplier. This kit provides a seal between the unit and cabinets once installation is complete. (This kit is included on select models). IMPORTANT: Do not cross drain, water, and electrical lines in front of dishwasher motor or frame. Connections For Electrical, 4 Water, and Drain Left Side Front Right Side Door in open position Locating the Connections 1. Review dimensions in Figure 3 to locate dishwasher’s drain, water, and electrical connections. 2. All connections must be made in shaded area in Figure 2. 25 24 49 1/4” 22 1/2” 331/2” Min. From rear to center of water inlet valve. 3 3/4” From floor to water inlet valve. Floor Line Figure 3 Junction Box (not visible) 17 3/4” From rear to junction box. 3. Locate water inlet valve behind kickplate on bottom left underside of unit. The valve has a 3/8” NPT female fitting. 4. Wrap 90° elbow (not included) with pipe thread tape (or apply joint compound) and thread it into water inlet valve. 5. Tighten elbow with a wrench, leaving elbow pointing toward rear of unit. To prevent bending of bracket or breaking of valve, avoid overtightening. 1. Remove two (2) screws at front of the kickplate assembly using a #2 Phillips screw driver. 2. Tilt and pull forward to remove. See Figure 1. NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the outer door for installation. However, you might find it more convenient to do so. You can find directions for removing door in Step 10. Installation Preparation 2 • Examine dishwasher and locate connections. See Step 4. • Locate dishwasher where there is easy access to drain, water, and electrical lines. The best location is on either side of the kitchen sink for access to existing plumbing and ease in loading dishes. See Step 4. • Electrical, water, and drain connections are not the same for all age, brands, or models of dishwashers. Check the location and length of home utilities. See Step 4. • A 15-20 amp, grounded, 120 volt AC only, electrical supply is required. See Steps 4 and 8. • If dishwasher drain hose will be connected to a food disposer for the first time, knock out plug located inside disposer inlet. See Steps 4 and 6. • Kinked water or drain hoses can cause problems. See Step 6. • Dishwashers need to be connected to a hot water supply with enough water pressure to insure an adequate fill. See Steps 4 and 7. • Each home installation differs. You will need additional parts listed above to complete your installation. See Steps 4 and 7. • Flush water line prior to making the final connection to prevent clogging of dishwasher’s filter screen. See Step 7. • The dishwasher will look, sound, and perform best when properly leveled. See Step 5. (NOTE: If levelers are remo...
