Step 2: Select the Best Location for the Dishwasher
The following criteria are important to ensure the best location for the dishwasher:
The location must have a solid floor that is able to support the weight of a loaded dishwasher.
The location must be near a sink with easy access to the water supply, drain and electrical
outlet.
For the drain to operate properly, the dishwasher must be installed within 10 feet of the sink.
The location must have sufficient space for the dishwasher door to open easily and provide
enough space (at least .1 in or 2mm) between the dishwasher and cabinet sides.
If the dishwasher is installed in a corner, ensure that the side of the dishwasher is more than 2"
(50mm) from the wall to allow the door to open and close freely.
