• Page 3: Materials and tools for new installations. Name and descriptions of parts. Tubing cutter. Drill and appropriate bits. Hole saw set.
• Page 4: Location requirements include important guidelines for installation. Do not run drain lines, water lines, or electrical wiring where they can interfere with dishwasher motors or legs. The dishwasher must not be installed over carpeted flooring. It must be fully enclosed on the top, sides, and back, without any part of the enclosure resting on or supported by the dishwasher. There must be clearance between motors and flooring, ensuring that motors do not touch the floor. The installation opening must have a level floor, and shims should be used if necessary. The drain hose must not exceed 10 ft in length for proper drainage.
• Page 5: Installation preparation Cabinet dimensions must ensure a minimum depth of 24. Water supply requirements include a pressure range of 20-120 psi. The cabinet opening height should be between 34 and 35. A copper tubing water line must extend at least 24 from the rear wall. A hand shut-off valve is recommended in an accessible location. Drain requirements must follow local codes and ordinances. The drain hose should not exceed 10 feet in length. An air gap or minimum 32 high drain loop is necessary to prevent backflow. Clearances of 2 minimum between the dishwasher and adjacent structures are required. An air gap must be used if the drain hose connection is lower than 18 above the floor.
• Page 6: Installation preparation requires the use of only copper wire. Wiring must be 2-wire with ground for high drain with waste tee or disposer. A UL Listed/CSA Approved metallic strain relief should be used. Ensure the electrical connection and wire size conform to the National Electrical Code and local codes. The dishwasher must be connected to a grounded metal wiring system or an equipment grounding conductor. Use a power cord with connections that comply with the National Electrical Code and local codes. Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer or service agency. The wiring may enter the opening from either side, rear, or floor within the shaded area. Cut a maximum diameter hole of 1/2 for the electrical cable, ensuring it is free of sharp edges. The dishwasher must be supplied with a 120 volt, 60 Hz power supply connected to a dedicated, properly grounded branch circuit.
• Page 7: Installation instructions provide essential steps for setting up the dishwasher. If you received a damaged dishwasher, contact customer service immediately. Check the door balance by opening it slowly while someone holds the dishwasher. Adjust the spring tension if the door drops too freely or closes on its own. Keep plastic bags and packing materials away from children to avoid suffocation hazards. Adjust both springs to the same tension for proper door balance. Remove the door or lid from your old appliance before disposal to prevent accidents. Read the user manual for operating instructions after unpacking. Properly dispose of or recycle all packing materials after installation. Remove the kick plate by unscrewing the screws and lifting it off.
• Page 8: Installation instructions outline the steps for setting up the dishwasher. Adjust leveling legs to ensure proper installation height. Verify existing utility connections for water and electrical supply. Measure the height of the opening from the underside of the countertop to the floor. Check that the water line reaches the front-left side of the opening. Ensure the direct wire cable extends a minimum of 6 inches beyond the front-right side of the opening. Final leveling leg adjustments will be made after installation into the opening. Connect to the power supply using either direct wire cable or power cord. Disconnect electrical power at the fuse box or circuit breaker before installation to avoid electrical shock. Drill a hole into the right side of the cabinet for wiring, ensuring edges are smoothed or covered.
• Page 9: Installation instructions Route the cable from the power supply through the hole. Extend cable to 6 (15.2 cm) in front of the unit and tape the cable to the floor. Drill a 1/2 (1.3 cm) hole in the cabinet side, rear, or floor. Attach copper tubing to the manual shutoff valve. Slowly feed the copper tubing through the hole into the opening. The power cord and connections must comply with the National Electrical Code. Recommended cord length is 54 to 64. Drill a 1/2 (3.8 cm) hole in the cabinet rear or side. Attach power cord to dishwasher before moving it into the opening. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
• Page 10: Installation instructions for connecting the drain line are provided. The drain hose will be connected to the house drain system after the dishwasher is installed. Method 1 involves using an air gap with a waste tee or disposer. Drill a 1/2 hole in the cabinet wall or floor closest to the sink. Insert the drain hose into the hole in the cabinet wall and attach it to the back of the dishwasher. Method 2 requires a high drain loop with a waste tee or disposer. Always follow local codes and ordinances when connecting the drain line. Ensure the drain plug has been removed from the disposer before attaching the dishwasher drain hose. Do not cut the corrugated portion of the hose. Total drain hose length must not exceed 10 feet for proper drain operation.
• Page 11: Installation instructions for connecting to power supply include important safety warnings regarding electrical shock hazards. Use UL listed wire nuts to connect household wiring to dishwasher wiring. Ensure the dishwasher is electrically grounded and do not pre-twist bare wire. Confirm the power is turned off at the source before beginning installation. Install a UL listed/CSA approved strain relief and tighten strain relief screws. Gently guide wire nuts into the junction box and replace the cover without pinching wires. The power cord and connections must comply with the National Electrical Code and local codes. Recommended cord length for the power supply is between 54 to 64. Do not use an extension cord or adapter for the power connection. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious hazards including death or fire.
• Page 12: Installation instructions outline the steps for connecting the dishwasher to water supply and power. Pull the power cord through the strain relief in the junction box. Connect the water supply line to the 90° elbow without overtightening. Handle and reposition the copper tubing gently to avoid bends and kinks. Route the water supply line in the channel on the left side of the base to minimize noise from vibration. Use UL listed wire nuts to connect the power cord to the dishwasher wiring. Tighten the compression nut until snug, but do not overtighten. Check for leaks by placing a paper towel under the elbow and turning on the water supply. Tighten strain relief screws to secure the power cord. Ensure the elbow faces the water line track at the bottom after installation. Gently guide the wire nuts into the junction box and replace the cover without pinching the wires.
• Page 13: Installation instructions outline the steps for properly installing a dishwasher. The dishwasher must be level for proper dish rack operation and wash performance. Level the dishwasher so its front panel is aligned with the adjacent cabinet doors. Do not use the dishwasher until completely installed. Do not push down on an open door, as this can result in serious injury or cuts. Ensure the drain hose is not kinked and there is no interference with the water line and wiring. Check that the leveling legs are firmly against the floor. Close and latch the door, then check that the dishwasher is plumb. Adjust the front legs or add shims until the dishwasher is level. Push the dishwasher completely into the opening so that the front corners of the door are flush with the cabinet doors.
• Page 14: Installation instructions outline the steps for securing the dishwasher to adjacent cabinets to prevent tipping when the door is opened. A pre-test checklist should be reviewed after installation to avoid service call charges not covered by warranty. Ensure power is off before beginning the installation process. Remove all foam and paper packaging from the dishwasher. Locate and read the Owner’s Manual for operating instructions. Check the door opening and closing functionality; adjustments may be necessary if it does not operate freely. Use two or more people to move and install the dishwasher to prevent injury. Verify that wiring is secure and not pinched or in contact with other components. Check door alignment with the tub and level the dishwasher if necessary. Ensure incoming water temperature is between 120°F and 150°F for optimal wash performance.
• Page 15: Installation instructions outline the steps for setting up the dishwasher. Turn on the power supply or plug the power cord into the outlet. Place the kick plate against the legs of the dishwasher, aligning the slots with the screw holes. Fasten the kick plate to the dishwasher using the provided screws. Select the RINSE ONLY cycle and press START/CANCEL to turn on the dishwasher. Ensure water enters the dishwasher; if not, check that water and power are turned on. Check for leaks under the dishwasher and around the door, adjusting the position if necessary. Inspect the drain lines for leaks during the draining process and correct any plumbing issues. Open the dishwasher door to ensure most of the water has drained and check for any blockages. Leave the complete literature package and installation instructions with the consumer.
