LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
Dishwasher must be fully enclosed (top, sides, back, and oor)
upon installation. A side panel kit is available from your dealer
forinstalling your dishwasher at the end of your cabinetry.
An optional moisture barrier accessory is also available for
installing underneath a wooden countertop. See the “Tools
and Parts” section at the front of the guide for part details
andorders.
Check location where dishwasher will be installed. The location
must provide:
Ó Convenient access for loading and unloading dishes. Corner
locations require a 2" (51 mm) minimum clearance between
the side of the dishwasher door and the wall or cabinet.
Ó Easy access to water, electricity, and drain:
Ó Grounded electrical supply is required.
Ó This dishwasher has a water heating feature and also
requires a connection to a hot water supply line.
Ó Make sure pipes, wires and drain hose are within the
shaded area shown in the “Product and Cabinet Opening
Dimensions” section.
Ó Do not run drain lines, water lines, or electrical wiring where
they can interfere with or contact dishwasher motor or legs.
Ó Shelter dishwasher and water lines leading to dishwasher
against freezing. Damage from freezing is not covered by
the warranty.
NOTE: 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.
Ó If installed in new construction, ush the water supply line
of debris before connecting it to the ll valve. If it is not
ushed, debris from the water supply could plug the ll
valve screen.
Ó A square opening for proper operation and appearance
Ó The cabinet front to be perpendicular to oor
Ó A level oor
Helpful Hint: If oor at front of opening is not level with oor
at rear of opening, shims may be used to level dishwasher.
NOTE: To avoid shifting during dishwasher operation, shims
must be securely attached to the oor.
Ó The location where the dishwasher will be installed must
provide clearance between motor and ooring. Motor should
not touch the oor.
