Location Requirements
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.
A side panel kit is available from your dealer for installing
your dishwasher at the end of your cabinetry.
A moisture barrier accessory (Part Number 4396277) is
available from your dealer for installing underneath the
countertop. This may also be obtained by calling
1-800-4MY-HOME.
Check location where dishwasher will be installed. The
location must provide:
easy access to water, electricity and drain.
convenient access for loading and unloading dishes.
Corner locations require a 2" (5.1 cm) minimum clearance
between the side of the dishwasher door and the wall or
cabinet.
square opening for proper operation and appearance.
cabinet front perpendicular to floor.
level floor. (If floor at front of opening is not level with
floor at rear of opening, shims may be needed to level
dishwasher.)
NOTE: To avoid shifting during dishwasher operation,
shims must be securely attached to the floor.
If dishwasher will be left unused for a period of time or in
a location where it may be subject to freezing, have it
winterized by authorized service personnel.
Make sure pipes, wires and drain hose are within the
shaded area shown in the "Cutout dimensions" section.
Helpful Tip: If the floor in the dishwasher opening is
uneven (example: tile flooring only partway into
opening), you will need to be exact in measuring
dimensions and in leveling dishwasher.
