Location Requirement
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.

dishwasher at the end of your cabinetry.
A moisture barrier accessory (Part Number 4396277) is available
from your dealer for installing underneath the countertop.

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.
lf 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.
