6. ENCLOSURE PREPARATION 6.1 ELECTRICAL PREPARATION WARNING 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 amperes. 6.2 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.
6.3.1 INSTALLING THE FOOT SUPPORTS Supplied (4) If the height of the enclosure is 337/16” to 341/4” (850mm - 870mm) use short supports as shown in the figure. If the height of the enclosure is above 341/4” (870mm) use long supports as shown in the figure.
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 : • • • 8 USA 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.
6.4 PREPARING THE WATER CONNECTION (A) 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. Water can also be supplied to the dishwasher by using a flexible braided hose line. 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.
6.5 DRAIN PREPARATION The dishwasher drain hose may be connected to the drain plumbing in one of three ways (Figure 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 763/4” (1950mm).
6.7 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. 6.6.2 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.
7. 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 above figure. 7.1 DRAIN HOSE CONNECTION, WATER SUPPLY & ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS 7.1.1 DRAIN HOSE CONNECTION Connect the drain hose to the drain plumbing. 1.
7.1.2 WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION Water supply may be connected to the dishwasher in one of two ways: • With metal braided hose. • With copper tubing. 7.1.3 BRAIDED HOSE/COPPER TUBING After connections are made turn on the water supply to check for leaks. CAUTION • Hot water supply line: Use minimum 3/8” O.D. copper tubing or metal braided dishwasher supply line.
7.3 READJUSTING FOOT LEVELS Now that the dishwasher is in the cabinet you must readjust the feet to bring the dishwasher up to the required height and attach it underneath the countertop. 1. Readjust the front foot levels with adjusting wrench to balance the dishwasher and raise it up under the countertop, make sure the unit is level. 2. Readjust the rear foot levels with a screwdriver to balance the dishwasher and raise it to the required height using the brackets supplied. 3.
Lock the toe kick brackets as shown with the plastic tab in the figure C by pushing the plastic tab on the dishwasher into the teeth of the bracket (C). 3. Now attach the toe kick to the bracket with the two (Ø 3/16” x 1/4” - Ø 4mm x 6mm) screws and the caps provided as follows. If the enclosure height is below 331/16” (840mm) use only “o” labelled toe kick (toe kick without slots). Installation should be done following the steps illustrated in the Figures A, B and C respectively. 1.
7.5 INSTALLING THE OUTER DOOR (DWS 54100 FBI,DWS 55100 FBI) Measure the height and width of the enclosure (Figure A) and the toe kick. Determine how big the wooden door can be. For example if the height is 337/8” (860mm) and if the toe kick is 315/16” (100mm) the door can not be taller than 2915/16” (760mm). 1. Prepare the wooden door with the mounting brackets. Height : Height of the wooden door 28” (711mm) Width : 17 ½” to 17 ¾” (442 mm - 448 mm) Thickness : ¾ “ (19mm) 2.
4. Place the plastic mounting brackets over the marked holes and the side tabs must be flush with the edge of the wooden door (Figure D). 5. Attach the two mounting brackets to the wooden door with 4 screws (Ø 1/8” x 5/8” (Ø 3.5mm x 14mm) (Figure A). 6. Mount the wooden door onto the dishwasher with the plastic mounting brackets which you have attached (Figure B).
7. Open the door and remove the two caps and two screws inside the door at position 1 and 3 (Figure C). 8. Using the four screws Ø 3/16” x 111/16” (Ø 4mm x 43mm) provided, attach the wooden door to the dishwasher at position 1 and 3 (Figure A). 9. Check the position of the wooden door and make sure it is aligned properly (Figure B). 10. Tighten the screws in position 1 and 3 completely after the final alignment (Figure C).
11. Check whether the bottom of the door hits the toe kick of the kitchen cabinet (A). 11.1. If the door hits the toe kick cut the necessary section out of the toe kick (B). 11.2. Apply silicon or sealant to the cut edge of the kitchen cabinet toe kick or paint so it does not absorb moisture.
Notice : If you have a European kitchen or want to install a wooden toe kick 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 toe kick. Installation should be done following the steps illustrated in the figures A, B, C, D respectively.
8. INSTALLER CHECKLIST Your installer must have completed and checked the following: • The dishwasher is square and level. • The dishwasher is fastened securely to the cabinetry. • The dishwasher door opens and closes freely. The dishwasher door must close without hitting any cabinetry or counter top. • The inlet water supply is turned on and checked for leaks. • The drain hose has been connected and checked for leaks.
