Determine amount of tubing needed to connect hot water
supply to the unit's water inlet valve. Copper tubing must have a
minimum _/8"OD. High-pressure and high-temperature rated
plastic tubing with a minimum inner diameter of V4"may be
used. A shut-off valve installed outside dishwasher cabinet is
best. See Figure 4.

IMPORTANT: For proper operation and appearance of unit,
cabinet opening should have dimensions as shown in Figure 2.
If unit is to be placed in a corner, there must be at least a 2-inch
side clearance to open door.

• The dishwasher will look, sound, and perform best when
properly leveled. See Step 5. (NOTE: If levelers are
removed during installation, make sure the floor is flat and
free of any obstruction.)
Read all instructions

Be sure water inlet valve is )rotected from freezing. If valve
freezes and ruptures, flooding may occur.

Each home installation differs. You will need additional
parts listed above to complete your installation.
See Steps 4 and 7.

INSTALLER: Leave Installation Instructions with owner.

If you connect to a sink trap, local codes may require you to
install an air gap kit, not included. The drain hose will be routed
from dishwasher to air gap inlet as shown in Figure 6. An air
gap kit is available from a plumbing supply store. (If the drain
hose is installed through the floor, an air gap is necessary).

Electric Shock Hazard
Disconnect electrical power at the fuse box or

Failure to follow this warning could result in death
or serious injury.

Air Gap

The dishwasher operates on a 120 volt, 60 Hz electrical supply.
Provide a separate circuit with a fuse or circuit breaker rated for
at least 15 amps (20 amps if connected with disposer) but not
more than 20 amps.

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.

Note: If mounting your dishwasher to the countertop or to the floor
is not a desirable option, you can order the side mount kit,
154477201, by contacting your dealer or parts supplier. This allows
you to install the dishwasher by securing it to the cabinets or
partitions on either side of the unit. The kit utilizes the front frame of
the dishwasher to secure the unit to the cabinet or partitions.

Appearance of console and door may
vary from your model.

Property Damage
6.

Do not solder within 6" of the water inlet valve. Damage to
the plastic parts in the valve may occur.

Be sure the dishwasher is placed where the water inlet valve
will be kept from freezing. If the valve freezes, it may rupture
and flooding may occur.

Water Line
1.

Flush water line before connecting it to water inlet valve to
prevent early clogging of filter screen. Place a bunched towel
over end of line to prevent splashing. Open valve for a few
seconds and let water drain into a pan. Turn off water supply
at shut-off valve.

Inside junction box, attach ground wire under head of grounding
screw and tighten. See Figure 13.
Connect incoming black lead to dishwasher's black lead and
incoming white lead to dishwasher's white lead with wire nuts or
other suitable connectors, not included. Wire nuts should be

1. Pull out unit and check to see if drain hose is correctly attached
to the drain pump assembly, tf drain hose is not attached to
drain pump, follow the instruction sheet (included with drain
hose) on how to correctly install the drain hose to the drain pump
assembly.
2. Move unit back in place while routing drain hose through access
hole. Use caution to prevent damage to the dishwasher, floor
and cabinets. IMPORTANT: Make sure there are no sharp
bends or kinks that might restrict drain flow.

Close and latch door
while holding both
sides.

3. Secure drain hose to sink drain, disposer, or separate trap with a
clamp. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to overtighten clamp or
you may damage end of hose. Do not connect hose to
horizontal pipe between sink drain and disposer.
4. Be sure unit does not rest on drain hose. It should be free of
electrical components and door springs. Do not cut corrugated
drain hose. Pull excess through cabinet and place under sink.
Make sure hose does not come in contact with any sharp edges.
See Figure 10.

The dishwasher must be connected to a grounded metal,
permanent wiring system. The equipment-grounding
conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and
connected to the appliance's equipment grounding terminal
or lead. It is the consumer's responsibility to contact a
qualified installer to make sure the electrical installation
conforms with the National Electrical Code and local codes
and ordinances.
