Electric Shock Hazard
Disconnect electrical power at the fuse box or
circuit breaker box before beginning installation.
Failure to follow this warning could result in death
or serious injury.
Examine dishwasher and locate connections. See Step 4.
Locate dishwasher where there is easy access to drain,
water, and electrical lines. The best location is on either side
of the kitchen sink for access to existing plumbing and ease
in loading dishes. See Step 4.
Electrical, water, and drain connections are not the same for
all age, brands, or models of dishwashers. Check the
location and length of home utilities. See Step 4.
A 15-20 amp, grounded, 120 volt AC only, electrical supply is
required. See Steps 4 and 8.
If dishwasher drain hose will be connected to a food
disposer for the first time, knock out plug located inside
disposer inlet. See Steps 4 and 6.
Kinked water or drain hoses can cause problems. See Step
6.
Dishwashers need to be connected to a hot water supply
with enough water pressure to insure an adequate fill.
See Steps 4 and 7.
Each home installation differs. You will need additional
parts listed above to complete your installation.
See Steps 4 and 7.
Flush water line prior to making the final connection to
prevent clogging of dishwasher's filter screen. See Step 7.
The dishwasher will look, sound, and perform best when
properly leveled. See Step 5. (NOTE: If levelers are
removed during installation, make sure the floor is flat and
free of any obstruction.)
Anchor the dishwasher. See Step 9.
1. Remove two (2) screws at front of the kickplate assembly using
a #2 Phillips screw driver.
2. Tilt and pull forward to remove. See Figure 1.
NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the outer door for installation.
However, you might find it more convenient to do so. You
can find directions for removing door in Step 10.

3. Locate water inlet valve behind kickplate on bottom left
underside of unit. The valve has a 3/8"NPT female fitting.
4. Wrap 90° elbow (not included) with pipe thread tape (or apply
joint compound) and thread it into water inlet valve.
5. Tighten elbow with a wrench, leaving elbow pointing toward
rear of unit. To prevent bending of bracket or breaking of valve,
avoid overtightening.
Cabinet Preparation:
As a precaution, it is recommended, but not required that the
cabinets enclosing all sides of the dishwasher (including the
underside of the countertop) be sealed with an oil based paint
or moisture-proof polyurethane to prevent possible steam/
moisture damage.
Electric Shock Hazard
Observe all local codes and ordinances for
electrical and plumbing connections. All electrical
and plumbing work should be performed by
qualified persons. Failure to follow this warning
could result in death or serious injury.
1. Make sure your location has the right drain, water, and
electrical outlets to make the connections. Do not install unit
under a cooktop range. Damage to plastic tub will occur.

IMPORTANT: For proper operation and appearance of unit,
cabinet opening should have dimensions as shown in Figure 2.
If unit is to be placed in a corner, there must be at least a 2-inch
side clearance to open door.
2. Remove any carpet from area to provide motor clearance. Floor
should be flat and free of any obstruction.
IMPORTANT: Drain, water, and electrical lines should be
roughed-in before going any further.
Electric Shock Hazard
Electrical, water, and drain lines must be confined
to shaded areas in Figure 2.
Electric conductors, water, and drain could be
damaged.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in
fire or electric shock.
NOTE: If dishwasher is installed at end of a cabinet line, sides
and back must be fully enclosed.
NOTE: You can order a Cabinet Seal Kit (Kit # 154528701) by
contacting your dealer or parts supplier. This kit provides a
seal between the unit and cabinets once installation is
complete. (This kit is included on select models).
IMPORTANT: Do not cross drain, water, and electrical lines in
front of dishwasher motor or frame.
Locating the Connections
1. Review dimensions in Figure 3 to locate dishwasher's drain,
water, and electrical connections.
2. All connections must be made in shaded area in Figure 2.

IMPORTANT: Disconnect power before starting installation.
Electrical
1. The dishwasher operates on a 120 volt, 60 Hz electrical supply.
Provide a separate circuit with a fuse or circuit breaker rated for
at least 15 amps (20 amps if connected with disposer) but not
more than 20 amps.
2. Note the locations of electrical supply and dishwasher's
electrical junction box on right underside of unit behind kickplate
assembly. See Figure 3.
3. Cut access hole in shaded area shown in Figure 2.
4. Pull electrical cable through hole into installation area.
Water
1. Determine where you will connect to hot water supply. Review
Figure 3 and note the location of water inlet valve.
Property Damage
Do not use the furnished drain hose or a rubber garden hose
for the water supply line. Either of these hoses can burst.
Flooding may occur and cause property damage.
,
3.
Be sure water inlet valve is protected from freezing. If valve
freezes and ruptures, flooding may occur.
Determine amount of tubing needed to connect hot water
supply to the unit's water inlet valve. Copper tubing must have a
minimum 3/_,,OD. High-pressure and high-temperature rated
plastic tubing with a minimum inner diameter of V4"may be
used. A shut-off valve installed outside dishwasher cabinet is
best. See Figure 4.
4. Cut water access hole in shaded area in Figure 2.
5. Route water supply line into installation area.
IMPORTANT: Incoming hot water temperature should be at
least 120°F (49°C). Water pressure should be between
20-120 psi.
Drain
1. Review Figures 5, 6 and 7 to see the different ways to connect
dishwasher to drain system. Choose method that best suits
your need.

If you connect to a sink drain, entry will need to be above
trap. A "Y" branch tailpiece and connector kit, not included, will
make this method easier and includes all needed fittings and
instructions. See Figure 5.
,
,
If you connect to a sink trap, local codes may require you to
install an air gap kit, (not included). The drain hose will be routed
from dishwasher to air gap inlet as shown in Figure 6. An anr
gap kit is available from a plumbing supply store. (If the drain
hose is installed through the floor, an air gap is necessary).
If you connect to a disposer, the large end of drain hose will fit.
Figure 7(a). The knock out plug must be removed from
inside disposer inlet before making the final fit to drain
hose. See Figure 7(b).

5. Before cutting drain hose access, check both sides of selected
area to avoid interference. Cut a 2" diameter hole in shaded
area shown in Figure 2.
6. If the cabinet wall is wood, sand edges of hole until smooth and
rounded. If cabinet wall is metal, cover all sharp edges with
electrical or duct tape to avoid cutting drain hose.
