Installation Instructions

WARNING

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, and to prevent property damage, personal injury, or death.

WARNING

- ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

■ Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.

■ DO NOT use an adapter.

■ DO NOT remove ground prong.

■ DO NOT use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire or electrical shock.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

CIRCUIT – Individual, properly polarized and grounded 15 or 20 amp circuit breaker or time-delay fuse.

POWER SUPPLY – 2 wire plus ground, 120 Volt, single phase, 60 Hz, alternating current.

Outlet Receptacle – Properly grounded 3-prong receptacle to be located so the power cord is accessible when the dishwasher is in position. If a 2-prong receptacle is present, it is the owner's responsibility to have a licensed electrician replace it with a properly grounded 3-prong grounding type receptacle.

Ensure proper ground exists before use.

Unit must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances, or in the absence of local codes, with latest edition of the NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE, ANSI/NFPA NO. 70 or CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE, CSA C22.1. Check with a licensed electrician if you are not sure that the dishwasher is properly grounded.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock.

Check with a qualified electrician, or service representative or personnel, if you are in doubt as to

whether the appliance is properly grounded. DO NOT modify the plug on the power supply cord. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Method A - Installation Directly Below a Countertop Surface.

A1 PREPARE THE OPENING

WARNING

To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or injury to persons, the installer must ensure that the dishwasher is completely enclosed at the time of installation.

2-1/4" min. 22" 18-1/4" 3-1/4" min. clearance 2-3/8" 22"-25"

22" 2-1/4" min. Front View 18-1/4" 3-1/4" min. 26-3/4" 27" min.

Base cabinet must be 27" width or greater.
Construct a solid dishwasher floor of 3/8" min. thick plywood supported by 2 x 4 or 2 x 2 runners on all sides.
Must be able to support weight of dishwasher and contents.

Confirm the opening in the cabinet matches the dimensions shown.

■ Frame overlap will conceal cut edges on all sides of the opening. If installing:

-Below a countertop, cabinet door or surface, leave at least 2-1/4" clearance above the opening for trim kit overhang.
- Above a cabinet door or surface, leave at least 3-1/4" clearance below the opening for trim kit overhang and mounting screws.

■ Construct a solid dishwasher floor of 3/8" min. thick plywood supported by 2 x 4 or 2 x 2 runners on all sides.
■ The support must be level and rigidly mounted, flush with the bottom edge of the cutout.
■ Ensure the side walls can support side-mounting the dishwasher; add blocking if needed. See step A7 for details on side mounting.

Cabinet Preparation and Wire Routing

■ The power supply receptacle for the appliance should be installed in a cabinet or on a wall adjacent to the under-sink or built-in space in which the appliance is to be installed.
■ There should be an opening through the partition that is large enough for the attachment plug to pass through. The longest dimension of the opening should not be larger than 1-1/2".
■ The edges of the opening should be smooth and rounded if the partition is wood. If the cabinet wall is metal, the hole must be covered with a bushing. You can find this bushing at your local hardware or home improvement store.
■ Care should be exercised when the appliance is installed or removed, to reduce the likelihood of damage to the power supply cord.

A2 PREPARE FOR DRAIN HOSE CONNECTION

■ The molded end of the drain hose will fit 5/8" through 1" diameter inlet ports on the air gap or waste tee.

Cutting Line 1" 5/8" IMPORTANT: Do not cut this portion of hose.

■ Determine size of inlet port. If required, cut drain hose connector on the marked line, to fit the inlet port.

A3 CONNECT WATER SUPPLY AND DRAIN HOSES TO DISHWASHER

■ Water Supply Hose: If not installed, install rubber washer in one end of water supply hose. Thread the water supply hose onto the inner connector on the rear of the dishwasher. Hand tighten and use pliers to tighten hose between 1/8 and 1/4 turn beyond hand-tight.
- Drain Hose: If not installed, install rubber washer in one end of drain hose. Thread the drain hose onto the outer connector on the rear of the dishwasher. Hand tighten and use pliers to tighten hose between 1/8 and 1/4 turn beyond hand-tight.
