□ Unpack unit. Retain packing material until installation is
successful. Remove packing material from inside the
dishwasher.
□ Inspect parts to ensure you have all the necessary materials.
□ Flush household hot water supply for at least two minutes.
□ Measure the enclosure area. The opening must be at least
34" (87 cm) high and 23-5/8" (60-61 cm) wide.
□ The opening must be close enough to the sink for water line
and drain hose plumbing access.
□ Unit must be installed close enough to the sink so that drain
hose length does not exceed 92" (234 cm) and a high loop is
raised at least 20" (51 cm) above the floor.
□ Wooden openings must be sanded smooth and metal
openings must be covered by a protective gasket.
□ Is your water heater set at 120°F (49°C) and does water
pressure measure 15-145 psi (1-10 bar)?
□ If installing in a corner, the dishwasher door must clear
cabinet hardware.
□ Determine mounting method based on dishwasher model and
countertop type, whether top or side mount.
