Enclosure Preparation Electrical Preparation WARNING The dishwasher is designed for an electrical supply of 120V, 60Hz, AC, connected to a dishwasher-dedicated, properly grounded electrical circuit with a fuse or breaker rated for 15 amperes. Preparation for Installing Mounting Brackets WARNING Dishwasher must be secured to adjacent cabinetry using the mounting brackets provided. Failure to do this may cause damage to property or bodily injury.
Enclosure Preparation • Adjust the front foot level with the adjusting wrench to balance and raise the dishwasher to the enclosure height. • Adjust the rear foot level with a screwdriver to balance and raise the dishwasher to the enclosure height. NOTICE • Make sure the dishwasher is plumb and notice dishwasher can be placed with a small clearance under the counter top. • Turning the screwdriver in the direction of the black arrows will bring the dishwasher back feet up.
Installation Preparation Preparing the Water Connection (A) • Check with your plumbing supply sources for the proper hose and 90° elbow and necessary fittings for the water supply line. This material is not supplied and must be purchased separately. • Install an easily accessible shut-off valve (not supplied) in the water supply line. All solder connections must be made before the water line is connected to the dishwasher’s water inlet valve.
Installation Preparation Drain Preparation The dishwasher drain hose may be connected to the drain plumbing in one of three ways, (Figures A, B, C): NOTICE • Either one of the above methods must be used or the dishwasher will not operate properly. • A hose that attaches to a sink spray can burst if it is installed on the same water line as the dishwasher. If your sink has one, it is recommended that the hose be disconnected and the hole plugged. • The total length of the drain hose is 76-3/4” (1950mm).
Installation Preparation Steam Protection Foil Steam will form inside the dishwasher during operation. At the end of the cycle, when the dishwasher door is opened, it is required to use a steam protection foil to prevent any steam from collecting on the underside of the counter top. Fitting the Protection Foil • Before applying the steam protection foil to the underside of the countertop, clean the area with a damp cloth (as shown in Figure A). Once the area dries, apply the steam protection foil.
Installation Placement of Dishwasher into the Opening Now place the dishwasher into the opening and get ready to connect all hoses and electrical connections. CAUTION Make sure all hoses are pulled through the side opening of the cabinet, no hoses are kinked, and all slack is taken out as shown in the figure to the left. Drain Hose Connection, Water Supply, and Electrical Connections Note that the marks on the rubber connection hose should be on the drain hose side.
Installation Preparation of Water Supply Left Side Water Supply Connection • Before pushing the dishwasher into the cabinet, you must place water supply hoses into the channel of the dishwasher (Figure A). • Place the supplied clips into the channel (Figure B) so that you can move these clips along the channel (Figure C) and fix by pressing on (Figure D) so that you can keep the water supply hose in the channel.
Installation • After installing one clip for each side, push the dishwasher into the cabinet (Figure E). • Note that while pushing the dishwasher into the cabinet, water supply hose must move in the channel to the front (Figure F). • Fix the second clip (Figure G).
Installation Water supply may be connected to the dishwasher in one of two ways: • With metal braided hose. • With copper tubing. CAUTION • Hot water supply line: Use minimum 3/8” O.D. copper tubing or metal braided dishwasher supply line. • Temperatures required for soldering and sweating will damage the dishwasher’s water inlet valve so if any such operation is needed, keep the heat source min. 7-7/8” (20.0cm) away from the dishwasher’s water inlet valve.
Installation Electrical Connection Grounding Instructions This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance for electrical current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipmentgrounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Installation Readjusting Leveling Legs Now that the dishwasher is in the cabinet, you must readjust the leveling legs to bring the dishwasher up to the required height and attach it underneath the countertop. • Readjust the front leveling leg with adjusting wrench to balance the dishwasher and raise it up under the countertop; make sure the unit is level. • Readjust the rear leveling leg with a screwdriver to balance the dishwasher and raise it to the required height using the brackets supplied.
Installation If the enclosure height is below 33-1/16” (84.0cm), use only (o) labeled kickplate (kickplate without slots). Installation should be done following the steps illustrated in the Figures A, B, and C respectively. 1. Bend tabs on kickplate (o) inwards (A). 2. Secure kickplate to brackets with screws (t) as shown in the supply bags (B). 3. Attach caps (s) as shown in the supply bags (C). o A B t s C If the enclosure height is above 33-1/16” (84.
Installation Installing a Custom Panel Measure the height and width of the enclosure (Figure A) and the kickplate. Determine how big the wooden door can be. For example, if the height is 33-7/8” (86.0cm) and if the kickplate is 3-15/16” (10.0cm), the door cannot be taller than 29-15/16” (76.0cm). 1. Prepare the wooden door with the mounting brackets. Height: Height of the wooden door 30” (76.2cm) Width: 23-1/4” to 23-1/2” (59.1cm to 59.7cm) Thickness: 3/4” (1.9cm) ? ? A 2.
Installation 3. Mark the wooden door as shown in the drawing (Figure C). 4. Place the plastic mounting brackets over the marked holes. Align the bottom of the bracket with the horizontal line. Align the middle of the bracket with the center line using the “V” cut in the bracket.
Installation Ø 1/8" (3,5mm) x4 v B A 5. Attach the two mounting brackets to the wooden door with 4 screws (Ø 1/8”x5/8” (Ø 3.55mmx14mm). 6. Mount the wooden door onto the dishwasher with the plastic mounting brackets which you have attached. Ø 3/16" (4mm) x4 y C A 7. Open the door and remove the two caps and two screws inside the door at position 1 and 4. 8. Using the four screws Ø 3/16”x1-11/16” (Ø 4mmx43mm) provided, attach the wooden door to the dishwasher at position 1 and 4.
Installation 11. Check whether the bottom of the door hits the kickplate of the kitchen cabinet (Figure A). 11. 1. If the door hits the kickplate, cut the necessary section out of the kickplate (Figure B). 11. 2 Apply silicon or sealant to the cut edge of the kitchen cabinet kickplate or paint so it does not absorb moisture.
Installation NOTICE If you have a European kitchen or want to install a wooden kickplate to match your kitchen, please refer to one of the two drawings given below. Follow the same instructions on the brackets as for the removable kickplate. Installation should be done following the steps illustrated in the Figures A, B, C, and D respectively. See also Page 21. . NOTICE The installer is responsible for the dishwasher installation. Incorrect installation is not covered by the warranty.
