LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

Grounded electrical supply required.
Do not run drain lines, water lines or electrical
wiring where they can interfere with or contact
dishwasher motor or legs.
The location where the dishwasher will be
installed must provide clearance between mo-
tor and flooring. Motor should not touch the
floor.
Do not install dishwasher over carpeted floor-
ing.
Protect dishwasher and water lines leading to
dishwasher against freezing. Damage from
freezing is not covered by the warranty.
A side panel kit is available from your dealer
for installing your dishwasher at the end of your
cabinetry.
A moisture barrier accessory (Part No. 4396277)
is available from your dealer for installing under-
neath the countertop, but is not required.
Check location where dishwasher will be in-
stalled. The location must provide:
• easy access to water, electricity and drain.
• convenient access for loading and unloading
dishes. Corner locations require a 2" (5.1 cm)
minimum clearance between the side of the
dishwasher door and the wall or cabinet.
• square opening for proper operation and
appearance.
• cabinet front perpendicular to floor.
• level floor. (If floor at front of opening is not
level with floor at rear of opening, shims may
be needed to level dishwasher.)
Helpful Tip: Be sure to accurately measure
dimensions and ensure dishwasher is level if
the floor in the dishwasher opening is uneven
(example: flooring extends only partway into
opening).
NOTE: To prevent shifting during dishwasher
operation,shims must be securely attached to
the floor.
If dishwasher will be left unused for a period of
time or in a location where it may be subject
to freezing, have it winterized by authorized
service personnel.
Make sure pipes, wires and drain hose are within
the shaded area shown in the "Product and
Cabinet Opening Dimensions" see page 2-4.
