• Page 6: Enclosure requirements Countertop Dishwasher If installing into a corner, allow 2 in. (5.08 cm) min. clearance between dishwasher and adjacent cabinet, wall, or other appliances. Allow 25.63 in. (65.1 cm) min. clearance from the front of the dishwasher for opening the door. Drain requirements Follow all local codes and ordinances. Do not exceed 10 ft. (3.01 m) of drain hose. The dishwasher must be connected to a waste line with an air gap or a 32 in. (81.28 cm) high (min.) drain loop, depending on local codes and ordinances, to prevent back flow into the dishwasher. An air gap must be used if the waste tee or garbage disposal connection is less than 18 in. (45.72 cm) above the floor, to prevent siphoning. The type of drain installation required depends on local codes or ordinances.
• Page 7: Installing the dishwasher Method 1 - Air gap with a waste tee or garbage disposal connection Method 2 - High drain with a waste tee or garbage disposal connection You must provide a method to attach the drain hose to the underside of the countertop. Electrical requirements This appliance must be supplied with 120 V, 60 Hz, and it must be connected to its own properly grounded branch circuit. Wiring must be two wire with ground. Remove the house fuse or open the circuit breaker before beginning the installation. Grounding instructions – Cable direct This dishwasher must be grounded.
• Page 8: Installing the dishwasher involves important safety precautions. Improper connection of the equipment ground conductor creates a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service person if you have any doubts about proper grounding. Cables should be routed as shown in the cabinet preparation and wire routing section and extend at least 24 inches beyond the rear panel. Use stranded, armored, or non-metallic copper wire that meets domestic wiring requirements and local codes. Install a 3-pin grounding receptacle for the power cord method. The recommended power cord length is between 54 inches and 64 inches. The wiring may enter the opening from either side, the rear, or the floor within the shaded area. Drill a maximum diameter hole of 1.5 inches to run the electrical cable through the cabinet wall. Ensure the hole is free of sharp edges and cover with a bushing or rubber grommet if the cabinet wall is metal.
• Page 9: Installing the dishwasher involves preparing the hot water line. The water connection is located on the left side of the dishwasher. Hot water pipes can enter the opening from the side, back, or bottom within the shadow area. The hot water supply pipe can be passed through the same hole as the electricity/drain hose. Alternatively, an additional hole with a maximum diameter of 3.81 cm can be drilled for the hot water pipe. Do not run the hot water pipe through the same hole as the power cord when using a power cord with a plug. Specific measurements are provided for the placement of the shut-off valve and water supply line in relation to the cabinet and floor. Ensure the hot water supply line is properly positioned according to the specified dimensions.
• Page 10: Installing the dishwasher involves connecting the water line to the water supply. It is recommended to install a hand shut-off valve in an accessible location. Use at least 3/8 in. O.D. copper tubing for the hot water inlet line. Adjust the water heater to a temperature between 120° F and 150° F. Flush the water line to clean out any debris. The hot water pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi. Caution is advised when opening the dishwasher door before installation. Hold the top of the dishwasher securely when opening the door. Adjust the spring tension to ensure the door is balanced. Choose the appropriate groove for the spring tension based on the door weight.
• Page 11: Installing the dishwasher Step 2: Adjust the leveling legs Move the dishwasher close to the installation location and lay it on its back. Make sure that the leveling feet are loosened before standing the dishwasher upright. They may be tight from shipping/packaging. Extend the leveling legs out from the dishwasher base .25 in. (6.35 mm) less than the installation height. Step 3: Remove the toekick Remove the two toekick screws with a Phillips screwdriver, then remove the toekick.
• Page 12: Installing the dishwasher Turn off the electricity to the dishwasher’s electrical circuit. Make sure that the electrical power is turned off at the source. Warning: If your house wiring is not 2-wire with a ground, a ground must be provided by the installer. If your house wiring is aluminum, be sure to use cUL/UL Listed anti-oxidant compound and aluminum-to-copper connectors. Remove the junction box cover on the front right of the dishwasher. Connect the incoming white (or ribbed) wire to the dishwasher’s white wire, the black (or smooth) wire to the dishwasher’s black wire, and the ground wire to the dishwasher’s green wire. Tighten the strain relief screws and lock nut to stabilize the power cord’s electrical wires. Replace the junction box cover on the right front of the dishwasher.
• Page 13: Installing the dishwasher involves direct wiring. Remove the junction box cover from the power supply junction box on the wall. Ground to green, white to white, and black to black. Insert wires through strain relief fitting and tighten. Locate the three dishwasher wires with stripped ends and insert them through the small hole in the junction box. Secure the house wiring to the bottom of the junction box with a strain relief fitting. Use wire nuts to connect incoming ground to green, white to white, and black to black. Replace the junction box cover, ensuring that no wires are pinched under the cover. You'll need three wire nuts, a strain relief for electrical connections, and a Phillips screwdriver.
• Page 14: Installing the dishwasher involves several steps. Step 5 focuses on installing the 90° water supply elbow. The 90° elbow should be installed onto the water valve without overtightening. Overtightening may cause the water valve bracket to bend or the fitting to break. Position the elbow to face the floor when the dishwasher is upright. You will need a hot water line, a 90° elbow, Teflon thread seal tape, and an adjustable wrench for this installation.
• Page 15: Installing the dishwasher Step 6: Connecting the water supply line Make sure that you wrapped the 90° elbow with Teflon thread seal tape twice. Slide the compression nut, then the ferrule over the end of the water supply line. If you have a steel-grated line, you do not need a ferrule or compression nut. Insert the water supply line into the 90° elbow. Slide the ferrule against the 90° elbow and secure it with the compression nut. Make sure that the door spring does not rub or contact the water supply line or drain hose. Test by opening and closing the door. Reroute the lines if interference occurs. You'll need an adjustable wrench, hot water line kit, and Teflon thread seal tape.
• Page 16: Installing the dishwasher involves several steps. Ensure that the leveling feet are loosened before standing the dishwasher upright. Turn the dishwasher upright. Slide a screw-type hose clamp onto the right-angled end of the drain hose. Install the drain hose to the dishwasher drain outlet on the back of the dishwasher and tighten the screw-type hose clamp. Do not over tighten the hose clamp, as you can damage the plastic drain. You'll need screw-type hose clamps, a Phillips screwdriver, and a drain hose.
• Page 17: Installing the dishwasher Step 8: Install the drain hose Insert the drain hose into the hole in the cabinet wall. If a power cord is used, guide the end through a separate hole. Tip: Position the water line and house wiring on the floor to avoid interfering with the base of the dishwasher. Maximum drain hose length 10ft. (3.01m) Step 9: Slide the dishwasher partially into the cabinet Caution: Do not push against the front panel with your knees. Damage will occur. Position the dishwasher in front of the opening, then slide the dishwasher into the opening a few inches at a time. Pull the drain hose through the opening under the sink as you proceed. Make sure that the drain hose is not kinked under the dishwasher and that there is no interference with the water line, wiring, or any other component. Do not push against the front door panel with your knees.
• Page 18: Installing the dishwasher involves several key steps. Position the dishwasher under the countertop carefully, ensuring the tub insulation blanket is not bunched up or interfering with door springs. Slide the dishwasher into the opening gradually, making sure the front corners of the door are flush with the cabinet doors. Avoid pushing against the front door panel with your knees to prevent damage. Once in place, you will not have access to the back leveling legs. Leveling the dishwasher is crucial for proper dish rack operation and wash performance. Use a level on the door and rack track inside the tub to ensure the dishwasher is level. Adjust the four leveling legs individually to achieve front-to-back and side-to-side level. Check that the lower rack does not roll forward or back when pulled out halfway. If significant adjustments are needed, you may have to pull the dishwasher out of the cabinet.
• Page 19: If the edge of the door hits the side of the tub, the dishwasher is not installed correctly. Adjust the leveling legs to align the door to the tub. Keep dishwasher level. You'll need a Phillips screwdriver, adjustable wrench, and level. Do not push against the front panel with your knees. Damage will occur. For countertops made of wood or materials that won’t be damaged by drilling, use Method 1. For countertops made of granite, marble, or other materials that could be damaged by drilling, use Method 2. If the gap between the control panel and the cabinet is less than 0.4 in. (10 mm), use Method 2. Drive the screws straight and flush. Protruding screw heads will scratch the top of the control panel and interfere with the door closing.
• Page 20: Installing the dishwasher involves several steps. Remove the plastic tub caps from the inside of the dishwasher tub. Drive a wood screw through the hole in the side of the dishwasher into the cabinet frame. It is important to drive the screws straight and flush to avoid scratching the side of the dishwasher. This method is for attaching the dishwasher to the side of the cabinet and should be done when the countertop is made of granite or other breakable materials. Reinsert the plastic tub caps after securing the dishwasher. You'll need screws ST4 x 20(2), a Phillips screwdriver, and top mounting clips (2).
• Page 21: Installing the dishwasher Connecting the drain hose Cut on the marked line as required for your installation. The drain hose’s molded end will fit 5/8” or 1 diameter connections on the air gap, waste tee, or garbage disposal. Follow all local codes and ordinances. If a longer drain hose is required, you can add up to 42 (1.1 m) of length, for a total of 10 ft. (3.01 m) to the factory installed hose. Use 5/8” or 7/8” inside diameter hose and a coupler to connect the two hose ends. Secure the connection with screw-type hose clamps. Do not cut the corrugated portion of the hose. For proper drain operation, the total drain hose length must not exceed 10 ft. (3.01 m). Secure the drain hose to the air gap, waste tee, or garbage disposal with a screw-type clamp.
• Page 22: Installing the dishwasher involves two methods: air gap to a waste tee or garbage disposal, and high drain loop to a waste tee or garbage disposal. For the air gap method, specific installation steps for both waste tee and garbage disposal are provided. The high drain loop method requires fastening to the underside of the countertop. Minimum height requirements include 32 inches and 18 inches for proper installation.
• Page 23: Installing the dishwasher involves several important steps. If connecting the drain line to a garbage disposal, ensure the drain plug has been removed to allow proper drainage. Perform a pre-test check after installation to avoid issues not covered by warranty. Make sure that power is turned off before beginning the check. Remove all foam and paper packaging from the dishwasher. Locate and read the user guide for operating instructions. Check the door's opening and closing functionality and adjust the spring if necessary. Ensure wiring is secure and not pinched or in contact with other components. Verify that the water supply and drain lines are not kinked or in contact with other components. Check the incoming water temperature, which should be between 120°F and 150°F for optimal performance.
• Page 24: Installing the dishwasher Wet testing the dishwasher Turn on the power supply or plug the power cord into the outlet. Turn on your dishwasher and refer to the User Guide for instructions. Open the door, select the Rinse only cycle, and press START/Cancel. Make sure that water enters the dishwasher. Check for leaks under the dishwasher and around the door. When the dishwasher is draining, check the drain lines for leaks. Restore power after corrections are made. Open the dishwasher door and ensure that most of the water has drained. Run the dishwasher through another fill and drain cycle. Replacing the toekick Place the toekick against the legs of the dishwasher and install the toekick screws.
