INSTALLATION 13 Preparing Cabinet Opening This dishwasher is designed to fit a standard dishwasher opening. An opening may be needed on both sides to route plumbing and electrical connections. To ensure proper drainage, install the dishwasher no more than 12 ft. (3.65 m) from the sink. 2 To allow for proper clearance of plumbing and electrical, use the template included with the literature to determine the clearance on the side of the cabinet where the cabinet meets the back wall.
14 INSTALLATION Preparing Water and Electrical Connections WARNING There are 2 channels in the bottom of the dishwasher for routing the water and electrical connections. As shown in the bottom view below, channel is for the water supply line, and channel is for the electrical cable. Water Connection Do not reuse an old hose. Use only a new hose when installing the dishwasher. The old hose could leak or burst causing flooding and property damage.
INSTALLATION 15 Preparing Dishwasher WARNING Removable Shipping Brace The rear shipping brace can be removed if additional clearance is needed when installing the dishwasher under a low countertop. Do not remove safety cover . Removal can result in fire, electric shock or death. Releasing Drain Hose Remove the twist tie holding the drain hose to the back of the shipping brace. Removing Lower Cover 1 Remove the screws at either side which attach the lower cover to the dishwasher.
16 INSTALLATION Removing Packing Materials from the Interior Attaching Installation Brackets Remove all packing materials from the interior of the dishwasher before installing the appliance. For countertops made of wood or other material that will not be damaged by drilling, use the metal installation brackets provided. For countertops made of granite, marble, or other materials that could be damaged by drilling, use the wood screws to attach the dishwasher to the cabinet.
INSTALLATION 17 Sliding Dishwasher into Cabinet Opening NOTE Open the door and grab the body frame and the top front opening of the tub to move or lift the dishwasher. CAUTION Do not pull or lift the dishwasher using the handle . Doing so can damage the door and hinges. 1 Align the dishwasher with the opening. Make sure the water supply line and electrical cable are in the correct positions to slide into their channels properly.
18 INSTALLATION 3 Make sure the drain hose is straight before feeding the end of it through the hole for the water supply. As you slide the dishwasher into the opening, you will want to slowly pull on the drain hose from inside the cabinet to take up some slack. Be careful not to kink, pinch, crush or stress the drain hose during installation to avoid leaking and water damage.
INSTALLATION 19 Connecting Water Supply Line and Power Connecting Water Supply Line 1 With the home water supply turned off, connect the water supply line to the inlet valve on the left front of the dishwasher. CAUTION NOTE The best location for the electrical conduit is on the right side of the back wall. Re-route the electrical cable before installation if the electrical conduit pipe is longer than 3” (76 mm) and is centered on the back wall.
20 INSTALLATION 5 Insert a strain relief through the hole in the junction box. Tighten the ring nut to secure it in place. 6 Insert the electrical cable through the hole in the strain relief. Tighten 2 screws to secure the cable. 7 Pull the existing wires through the openings in the junction box. Tighten 2 screws to reassemble the junction box in the appliance. 8 Pair the white, black, and green wires to the matching colored wires from the dishwasher.
INSTALLATION 21 Connecting Drain Hose If the end of the drain hose does not fit the drain line, use a heat and detergent resistant adapter (not supplied). These may be obtained from a local plumbing supply store. Cut the adapter so the end matches the size of the drain connection. Connecting to Disposal without Air Gap The height of the drain hose end must be at least 12” (305 mm) and within 40” (1016 mm) from the base of the dishwasher to avoid water being siphoned from the tub.
22 INSTALLATION 3 Attach the drain hose to the disposal with the hose clamp provided.

INSTALLATION 23 Leveling Dishwasher Check that the dishwasher is level and adjust the leveling feet if necessary. With the lower rack removed, place a level on the inside wall of the tub to check that the dishwasher is level from side to side. If you do not have a level, try using a smartphone level application instead. CAUTION Failure to level the dishwasher may result in leakage, problems closing the door, or noise.
24 INSTALLATION Adjusting Leveling Feet Adjust as needed until the dishwasher is completely leveled. Adjusting Front Leveling Feet Adjusting Rear Leveling Foot Use a Phillips screwdriver to adjust the rear leveling foot and the rear of the tub using the center screw at the base of the appliance in the front.
