Select a location as close to the sink as possible forready access to water and drain lines.Most of the installation work is done before thedishwasher is moved into place.

Any built-in dishwasher must be fully enclosed on thetop, both sides and back. Therefore the cabinet spacebelow your counter is probably the best location.

Choosing the Location

Choosing a Location

If the dishwasher is to be installed in a corner, makesure there is adequate clearance to open the door. SeeFigure 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 Water 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 watervalve. 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 thecabinet 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 readilyaccessible location, see Figure 9.

NOTE: If connection to an air gap is requiredby local code, air gap kits are available from localplumbing sources. Install the air gap accordingto the manufacturer’s instructions.

Drain HoseThe dishwasher comes with 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 connectionlocation.

IMPORTANTIf no air gap is used and the drain line isrun into a sink or disposer, the drain linemust be elevated to a point higher than thehighest water level of the sink to preventback siphoning into the dishwasher.

CAUTION

To protect against possible rupture of the fill valve,water lines leading to the dishwasher, as well aswater lines in the dishwasher MUST be protectedagainst freezing. If the valve or water line freezes,flooding may occur. Such ruptures are not coveredby the warranty.

Electrical Preparation

• Cut a 1” (25.4mm) diameter hole in the cabinet (inarea of Figure 9 B). For wood cabinets, sand thehole until smooth. For metal cabinets, cover theedge with a grommet.

• Run flexible cable (as codes permit) from junctionthrough hole in cabinet. Cable should extend 30”(762 mm) from back wall.

Electrical Supply

It is the customer’s responsibility to insure that thedishwasher installation is in compliance with all natio-nal and local electrical codes and ordinances. Thedishwasher is designed to operate with a 120V, 60Hz,AC only electrical supply. Connect to a separateelectrical circuit with a fuse or circuit breaker ratedfor 15 Amps. A 20 Amp fuse or circuit breaker may beused if the dishwasher is connected with a food dispo-ser, but not more than 20 Amps. Use Copper supplyconductors only. The dishwasher should be properlygrounded, positioned as shown in Figure 9, and shouldbe installed by a qualified electrician. No otherappliances or outlets should be connected to this cir-cuit.

Openings for electrical lines must be in-stalled in the marked areas as shown in Fig-ures 8 and 9 to avoid interference with thedishwasher frame or other components.

Placing the DishwasherPlacing the Dishwasher

The profile strips on the sides of the dishwasher allowthe dishwasher to fit into a cabinet opening with awidth of 24" (610 mm) to 24-1/4" (616 mm). Beforesliding the dishwasher into the cabinet opening:

• Straighten the hot water supply line and theelectrical cable (see Figure 11).

• Level & Align (initial adjustments).

• Guide the drain hose carefully (avoiding kinks inhose) as the dishwasher is slid into the cabinetopening.

• Make final leveling adjustments (see FINAL STEPSSection).

• To maintain the dishwasher position and alignment,first determine which type of mounting yourdishwasher needs:

Top Mount is used for all types of countertops thatwill not be damaged by drilling.

• For a top mount, position the brackets flat oneach of the top corners of the dishwasher as shownin Figure 10A.

Side Mount is used when there is a granite, marbleor other hard natural surface counter top thatcould be damaged by drilling.

• For a side mount, bend the brackets, then positionthem as shown in Figure 10B.

• Drive Mounting Screws (see Figure 3) through theholes in the brackets. See Figure 10A or 10B.

• Connect the drain hose, hot water supply line andelectrical connections as described in the followingsections.

Failure to provide the proper drainconnection height, 20” (508mm) abovefloor level with high loop or air gap, willresult in improper draining of thedishwasher. Improper draining may causedamage to the dishwasher.

CAUTION

Openings for drain lines must be installedin the marked areas as shown in Figures 8and 9 to avoid interference with thedishwasher frame or other components.

Page 9


Hot Water Connection

Openings for water lines must beinstalled in the marked areas as shownin Figures 8 and 9 to avoid interferencewith the dishwasher frame or othercomponents.

• If using a solder joint instead of a com-pressionfitting, be sure to make all solder connectionsbefore connecting the water line to thedishwasher.

• Make sure there are no sharp bends or kinks in thewater line which might restrict water flow.

• When connecting threaded pipe use pipe threadcompound or Teflon tape to seal the connection.

• Before connecting the copper hot water supply lineto the dishwasher, it should be flushed with hotwater to clear any foreign material.

• Apply Teflon tape or other pipe sealant to 90°elbow fitting and connect directly to water inletvalve (located at the bottom front of thedishwasher)

• Turn on the water supply to check for leaks aftermaking connections.
