• Examine the dishwasher and locate the connections. See Locating the
Connections, page 9.
• Locate the dishwasher where there is easy access to drain, water, and
electrical lines. The best location is on either side of the kitchen sink for
access to existing plumbing and ease in loading dishes. See Making the
Connections, pages 9-11.
• Electrical, water and drain connections are not the same for all age,
brands or models of dishwasher. Check the location and length of home
utilities. See Making the Connections, pages 9-11.
• A 15-20 amp, grounded 120 volt AC only electrical supply is required. See
Making the Connections, pages 9-11.
• If the dishwasher drain hose will be connected to a food disposer for the
first time, remove knock out plug covering disposer inlet. See Making the
Connections, pages 9-11.
• Kinked water and drain hoses can cause problems. See Finishing the
Connections, page 16.
• Dishwasher need to be connected to a hot water supply with enough water
pressure to ensure an adequate fill. See Making the Water Connection,
page 10.
• Each home installation differs. You will need additional parts listed above
to complete the installation. See Materials Needed for Installation, page 5.

the inlet valve filter screen. See Finishing the Water Connection, page 16.
