• Page 3: Installation To allow for proper clearance of plumbing and electrical, use the template included with the literature to determine the clearance on the side of the cabinet where the cabinet meets the back wall. This dishwasher is designed to fit a standard dishwasher opening. To ensure proper drainage, install the dishwasher no more than 12 ft. (3.65 m) from the sink. The location must have sufficient space for the dishwasher door to open easily and provide at least 0.1” (2 mm) between the dishwasher and the cabinet sides. If installing the dishwasher in a corner, leave a minimum of 2” (50 mm) between the dishwasher and the adjacent wall. The adjacent wall must be free of obstructions. Installation damage is not covered by the warranty, and leaks caused by improper installation may result in property damage. Do not use existing holes unless they are in the target area. Failure to properly locate the hole for the water and drain lines may prevent the dishwasher from installing flush with the cabinets. Select a location as close to the sink as possible for easy connections to water supply line, drain hose and electrical connection.
• Page 4: Installation Preparing water and electrical connections There are 2 channels in the bottom of the dishwasher for routing the water and electrical connections. Do not reuse an old hose. Use only a new hose when installing the dishwasher. Use a time-delay fuse or circuit breaker. Operate this appliance with the correct voltage as shown in this manual and on the rating plate. The appliance and outlet must be positioned so that the plug is easily accessible. Turn off the house water supply and the circuit breaker or dedicated power before connecting the dishwasher. Run the water supply line along the floor 6 1/2 to 7 3/4 inches from the left side of the opening. When connecting the dishwasher water supply line to the house water supply, sealing tape or compound should be used on pipe threads to avoid leaks. Connect the dishwasher to a hot water supply with a temperature range between 120 °F and 149 °F. Water supply pressure must be between 20 psi and 80 psi.
• Page 5: Installation The rear shipping brace can be removed if additional clearance is needed when installing the dishwasher under a low countertop. Do not remove safety cover. Removal can result in fire, electric shock or death. Remove the twist tie holding the drain hose to the back of the shipping brace. Remove the screws at either side which attach the lower cover to the dishwasher. If there is insulation padding behind the lower cover, remove it. Set the parts aside until the installation is complete. If you lay the dishwasher on its back, do so carefully to avoid damaging the drain hose and the tub.
• Page 6: Installation Remove all packing materials from the interior of the dishwasher before installing the appliance. For countertops made of wood or other material that will not be damaged by drilling, use the metal installation brackets provided. For countertops made of granite, marble, or other materials that could be damaged by drilling, use the wood screws to attach the dishwasher to the cabinet. Installation brackets and screws can be found in the silverware basket. Insert the tabbed end of the installation brackets into the slots in the upper frame. Rotate the brackets until the tabbed ends are facing up. Bend the tabs on the brackets to secure them to the frame using a pair of needle nose pliers.
• Page 7: Installation instructions for the dishwasher include careful handling and positioning. Open the door and grab the body frame to slide the dishwasher into the cabinet opening. Do not pull or lift the dishwasher using the handle to avoid damaging the door and hinges. Align the dishwasher with the opening, ensuring the water supply line and electrical cable are correctly positioned. Avoid pushing the door of the dishwasher with knees when sliding it into position to prevent damage to the front cover. Smooth out or pad the edges of the hole drilled for the water supply to protect the drain hose. Do not push the top of the dishwasher to prevent damage to its interior.
• Page 8: Installation Make sure the drain hose is straight before feeding the end of it through the hole for the water supply. Remove the tape from the water supply line and the electrical cable. Be careful not to kink, pinch, crush or stress the drain hose during installation to avoid leaking and water damage. Gradually slide the dishwasher into the opening, making sure that the water supply line and electrical cable are passing freely through the channels. Stop periodically to take up the slack by pulling the drain hose farther into the cabinet. To avoid malfunctions or leakage, it is important that the drain hose not get kinked, pinched, stressed or crushed. Damage resulting from improper installation is not covered under the warranty.
• Page 9: Installation Connecting water supply line Turn off electrical power to the unit at the circuit breaker. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw from the junction box cover. Tape or compound should not be used on dishwasher inlet valve. Tighten the compression nut. Slide the water supply line back through the channel. Connecting power The dishwasher should have a dedicated properly grounded branch circuit. Remove the junction box from the appliance.
• Page 10: Installation Insert a strain relief junction box. Pair the white, black, and green wires to the matching colored wires from the dishwasher. Wrap electrical tape around each connection. Pull the existing wires through the openings in the junction box. Verify that the black wire is hot (120 V). Do not leave stripped wire exposed. Tighten the ring nut in place. Twist on the provided wire nuts tightly to connect the corresponding wires. Tighten 2 screws to secure the cable. Fold the connected wires back into the junction box and screw on the junction box cover.
• Page 11: Installation Connecting to disposal without air gap The height of the drain hose end must be at least 12” (305 mm) and within 40” (1016 mm) from the base of the dishwasher to avoid water being siphoned from the tub. If the end of the drain hose does not fit the drain line, use a heat and detergent resistant adapter. For drain hose installation, use the screw style hose clamp provided with this dishwasher in the silverware basket. If connecting the dishwasher’s drain hose to the garbage disposal, be sure to follow your garbage disposal’s manual for proper installation instructions. Follow local codes and ordinances. Do not exceed 12 ft. (3.65 m) distance to drain. Do not connect drain hoses from other appliances to the dishwasher’s drain hose. If an extension drain hose is required, use a 5/8” or 7/8” inside diameter, 2-3 ft. length hose and a coupler for connecting the two hose ends. If the knockout plug has not been removed, the dishwasher will not be able to drain properly.
• Page 12: Attach the drain hose to the disposal with the hose clamp provided. Move the hose clamp into position and tighten it with a flat-blade screwdriver. Attach the drain hose to the waste tee with the hose clamp provided. The height of the drain hose end must be at least 12” (305 mm) and within 40” (1016 mm) from the base of the dishwasher to avoid water being siphoned from the tub. Remove the knockout plug with a hammer and screwdriver. Connect the end of the drain hose to the air gap with the hose clamp provided. This avoids water being siphoned from the tub. If it is not connected, attach the rubber hose connector to the disposal or waste tee with a hose clamp (not provided). If the knockout plug has not been removed, the dishwasher will not be able to drain properly.
• Page 13: Installation Check that the dishwasher is level and adjust the leveling feet if necessary. Failure to level the dishwasher may result in leakage, problems closing the door, or noise. The dishwasher must be carefully leveled and aligned if the cabinet opening is narrower than recommended. Make sure that the gap between the tub walls and the door liner is the same on either side. To check that the tub is level from front to back, pour 169 oz. (5 L) of water into the bottom of the tub. The water level should be near the center of both tub lower indentations at the front.
• Page 14: Adjusting rear leveling foot Use a Phillips screwdriver to adjust the rear leveling foot and the rear of the tub using the center screw at the base of the appliance in the front. Turn the center screw clockwise to raise the rear of the tub and counterclockwise to lower it. Adjusting front leveling feet Use a flat-blade screwdriver to turn the front leveling feet and adjust the front of the tub. Turn the front leveling feet clockwise to raise the front of the tub and counterclockwise to lower it. Note To avoid damaging the screw, do not use an electric screwdriver. Adjust the front and rear leveling legs until they are all in firm contact with the floor. Failure to level the dishwasher may prevent the door from closing properly and the dishwasher will not turn on.
• Page 15: Installation Securing dishwasher to cabinet frame There are 2 options for securing the dishwasher. If the countertop is made of wood or a material that can safely be drilled into, secure the dishwasher to the countertop with the provided brackets. If the countertop is granite, marble, or a material that cannot be drilled into, secure the dishwasher to the cabinet frame with the provided wood screws. Ensure the dishwasher is level and all leveling feet are in firm contact with the floor before attaching the dishwasher. Drive a wood screw through the mounting bracket and into the cabinet frame. Installation brackets and screws can be found in the silverware basket. Use a magnetic screwdriver. Cover the filter hole with towels to prevent screws from falling down into the pump. Use the bracket screws provided to secure the brackets at the top of the dishwasher to the underside of the wood countertop.
• Page 16: Final installation check Check if the dishwasher is properly installed. CAUTION Only install the lower cover provided with the dishwasher. Turn on the circuit breaker. Turn on the house water supply. Make sure that the door opens and closes smoothly. If necessary, level the dishwasher again.
