LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

Dishwasher must be fully enclosed (top, sides, back, and floor)
upon installation. A side panel kit is available from your dealer for
installing your dishwasher at the end of your cabinetry.
An optional moisture barrier accessory is also available for
installing underneath a wooden countertop.
Check location where dishwasher will be installed. The location
must provide:
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.
Easy access to water, electricity, and drain:
■
Grounded electrical supply is required.
■
This dishwasher has a water heating feature and also
■
requires a connection to a hot water supply line.
Make sure pipes, wires and drain hose are within the
■
shaded area shown in the "Product and Cabinet Opening
Dimensions" section.
Do not run drain lines, water lines, or electrical wiring where
■
they can interfere with or contact dishwasher motor or legs.
Shelter dishwasher and water lines leading to dishwasher
■
against freezing. Damage from freezing is not covered by the
warranty.
NOTE: 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.
If installed in new construction, flush the water supply line of
■
debris before connecting it to the fill valve. If it is not flushed,
debris from the water supply could plug the fill valve screen.
A square opening for proper operation and appearance.

The cabinet front to be perpendicular to floor.

Helpful Tip: If floor at front of opening is not level with floor at
rear of opening, shims may be used to level dishwasher.
NOTE: To avoid shifting during dishwasher operation, shims
must be securely attached to the floor.
The location where the dishwasher will be installed must
■
provide clearance between motor and flooring. Motor should
not touch the floor.
