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.
Avoid damage from freezing to dishwasher and water lines leading
to dishwasher. 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.
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 wail 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.)
Helpful Tip: Be sure to accurately measure dimensions
and ensure dishwasher is level if the floor in the dishwasher
opening is uneven (example: flooring extends only partway into
opening).
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 ina
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 “Product and Cabinet
Opening Dimensions’ section.
