INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS Tools and Parts Parts needed: Gather the recommended tools and parts before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed here. All Installations Tools needed: Other parts you may also need: NOTE: Parts available for purchase in plumbing supply stores. Check local codes. Check existing electrical supply. See “Electrical Requirements” section. It is recommended that electrical connections be made by a licensed electrical installer.
Location Requirements Grounded electrical supply required. Do not run drain lines, water lines or electrical wiring where they can interfere with or contact dishwasher motor or legs. The location where the dishwasher will be installed must provide clearance between motor and flooring. Motor should not touch the floor. Do not install dishwasher over carpeted flooring. Shelter dishwasher and water lines leading to dishwasher against freezing. Damage from freezing is not covered by the warranty.
Drain Requirements ■ A new drain hose is supplied with your dishwasher. If drain hose is not long enough, use a new drain hose with a maximum length of 12 ft (3.7 m) (Part Number 3385556) that meets all current AHAM/IAPMO test standards, is resistant to heat and detergent, and fits the 1" (2.5 cm) drain connector of the dishwasher. ■ Make sure to connect drain hose to waste tee or disposer inlet above drain trap in house plumbing and 20" (50.8 cm) minimum above the floor.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS WARNING Prepare Cabinet Opening-Existing Utilities Electrical Shock Hazard Disconnect electrical power at the fuse box or circuit breaker box before installing dishwasher. Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock. If the water line and the cable extend to the locations shown, proceed to the “Install Drain Hose” section. If they do not reach far enough, follow the instructions in the “Prepare Cabinet Opening—New Utilities” section.
Wood cabinet: Sand the hole until smooth. Metal cabinet: Cover hole with grommet included with power supply cord kit. Option B, Direct Wire: Helpful Tip: Wiring the dishwasher will be easier if you route the cable into the cabinet opening from the right-hand side. Route cable from power supply through cabinet hole (cable must extend to the right front side of cabinet opening). Tape cable to the floor in area shown. This will prohibit cable from moving when dishwasher is moved into cabinet opening.
Attach the water supply line (copper tubing or flexible braided line) to the hot water line using a connection configuration that is in compliance with local codes and ordinances. The water supply to the dishwasher should have a manual shutoff valve located under the sink. Slowly route water supply line through hole in cabinet. (If you are using copper tubing, it will bend and kink easily, so be gentle.
1. Fit rubber end of drain hose to waste tee and cut if needed. NOTE: Do not cut ribbed section. IMPORTANT: The drain hose connection of the disposer or a waste tee must be made before the drain trap and at least 20" (50.8 cm) above the floor where the dishwasher will be installed. Helpful Tip: To reduce vibration of the hose, keep the hose away from the floor. 2. Attach rubber end of drain hose to waste tee with a large drain hose clamp (provided). Use pliers to squeeze clamp open and move into position.
Option D, No waste disposer – with air gap Prepare Dishwasher WARNING Tip Over Hazard Do not use dishwasher until completely installed. Do not push down on open door.

Using two or more people, grasp sides of dishwasher door frame and place dishwasher on its back. Using a flat-blade screwdriver, turn the plastic fasteners ¹⁄₄ turn counterclockwise to unlock them. Remove the panel. Do not remove tech sheet from access panel. Install a UL Listed/CSA Approved strain relief. Make sure screwheads are facing to the left when tightening conduit nut.

Determine Cabinet Opening Your dishwasher has leveling legs. The following provides instructions to adjust the leveling legs to set the dishwasher to the correct height for your cabinet opening. Measure height of cabinet opening from underside of countertop to floor where dishwasher will be installed (you will need to measure the lowest point on the underside of the countertop and the highest point on the floor). Refer to “Dishwasher Height Adjustment Chart” to adjust the leveling legs.
Choose Attachment Option WARNING Excessive Weight Hazard Use two or more people to move and install dishwasher. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury. Built-up floors: If the kitchen floor is higher than the cabinet opening's floor - for example, the kitchen floor tile does not extend into the cabinet opening - add shims as needed in the area shown to bring the dishwasher up to 33¹⁄₂" (85.1 cm) below the countertop.
Option B, Side Attachment For marble, granite, or other hard surface countertops With another person holding the rear of the dishwasher to keep it from tipping, open dishwasher door and place towel over pump assembly and spray arm of dishwasher.

NOTE: Save the buttons to cover the holes after dishwasher is installed.
NOTE: Do not push on the front of the panel or on the console. Panel or console may dent. Helpful Tip: Temporarily tape utilities to the floor in the locations shown to prohibit them from moving when dishwasher is moved into the cabinet opening. Check that water line is on the left side of opening and drain hose is near the center of the cabinet opening. With another person holding the dishwasher to keep it from tipping, open and close the door a few times.
Align front of dishwasher door panel with front of cabinet doors. You may need to adjust alignment to be even with your cabinets. Place level against top front opening of tub.
