Make sure the water supply and electrical supply
are shut off before installation or service.
ENCLOSURE PREPARATION
NOTE: This dishwasher is designed to be enclosed on
the top and both sides by standard residential kitchen
cabinetry.
Select a location as close to the sink as possible for
easy access to water supply and drain lines.
For proper dishwasher operation and appearance,
ensure that the enclosure is square and has the
dimensions shown in Figure 1.
If the dishwasher is to be installed in a corner, make
sure that there is adequate clearance to open the door.
See Figure 2.
WARNING
Avoid Electrical Shock/Fire Hazard
Do not allow the electrical and water supply lines
to touch. Separate channels are provided under
the dishwasher (see page 10).
If the enclosure requires openings for the electrical
supply cable, hot water supply line, and dishwasher
drain hose, place them within the dimensions shown by
the shaded area of Figure 3 to avoid interference with
the dishwasher frame or other components. Make the
openings for the electrical supply cable and hot water
supply line 1" (25.4mm) diameter. Make the opening
for the dishwasher drain hose 1-1/4" (32mm) diameter.
If the openings are made through wood, sand them
smooth. If the openings are made through metal, make
them large enough to accommodate grommets or other
protective sheaths with inside diameters of 1" (25.4mm)
for the electrical supply cable and the hot water supply
line, and 1-1/4" (32mm) for the dishwasher drain hose.
