When opening the door on an uninstalled dishwasher, carefully open the door while supporting the rear of the unit. Failure to follow this warning can cause the dishwasher to tip over and result in serious injury. Before installing the supplied counter top mounting brackets, decide which method will be used to secure the dishwasher into its opening. Once these mounting brackets are installed on the dishwasher, removing them is dif- cult and will damage the mounting brackets and the dishwasher. In some conditions, hydrogen gas can form in a hot water system that has not been used for weeks. Hydrogen gas is explosive. Before lling a dishwasher from a system that has been off for weeks, run the water from a nearby faucet in a well ventilated area until there is no sound or evidence of gas. Removing any cover or pulling the dishwasher from the cabinet can expose hot water connections, electrical power and sharp edges or points. Handle with care. Avoiding Electrical Shock/Fire Hazards Do not work on an energized circuit. Doing so could result in serious injury or death. Only qualied electricians should perform electrical work. Do not attempt any work on the dishwasher electric supply circuit until you are certain the circuit is de-energized. Make sure electrical work is properly installed. There should be no loose electrical connections. Ensure all electrical connections are properly made. The customer has the responsibility of ensuring that the dishwasher electrical installation is in compliance with all national and local electrical codes and ordinances. The dishwasher is designed for an electrical supply of 120 V, 60 Hz, AC, connected to a dishwasher-dedicated, properly grounded electrical circuit with a fuse or breaker rated for 15 amps. Electrical supply conductors shall be a minimum #14 AWG copper only wire rated at 75°C (167°F) or higher. WARNINGThis appliance must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the appliance. Do not use extension cords. Avoiding Plumbing/Scalding Hazards Do not perform any work on a charged hot water line. Serious injury could result. Only qualied plumber should perform plumbing work.

If plumbing lines are to be soldered or sweated, keep the heat source at least 6 inches (152.4 mm) away from the dishwasher. Hot Water Supply The hot water heater should be set to deliver approximately 120° F (49° C) water to the dishwasher. Water that is too hot can cause some detergents to lose effectiveness. Lower water temperatures will increase run times. The hot water supply pressure must be between 15 - 145 psi (1 - 10 bar). IMPORTANT NOTES:

• If using a solder joint instead of a compression tting, be sure to make all solder connections before connecting the water supply line to the dishwasher.

• Make sure there are no sharp bends or kinks in the water line that might restrict water ow.

• Always use the appropriate seal when making plumbing connections.

• Before connecting the water supply line to the dishwasher, ush the incoming water line for approximately 5 minutes to clear any foreign material.

• Turn on the water supply and check for leaks after connections are made. Water Inlet Connections22 Drain Connections Connect the dishwasher water supply line to the water shut off valve. You will need to use an approved dishwasher water supply line with the correct ttings for this connection. Always use the appropriate seal when making plumbing connections. After all connections are made, turn on the hot water and check for leaks. IMPORTANT NOTES about your drain connection:

• If local ordinance requires an air gap, install it according to the manu- facturer’s instructions.

• If the dishwasher drain hose is to be connected to a disposer dishwasher drain connection, remove the plug from the disposer’s dishwasher drain connection.
