INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
These installation instructions are intended for use by Qualified Installers.

STEP 1: PREPARE CABINET OPENING

1. This dishwasher is designed to fit a standard dish-
washer opening as shown in Fig. 1.
2. Select a location as close to sink as possible for easy
connections to water and drain lines.
3. To ensure proper drainage, the dishwasher should
not be installed more than 10 ft. (3 m) from the sink.
4. If dishwasher is to be installed in a corner, a mini-
mum of 2 in. (50 mm) is required between the dish-
washer and an adjacent wall.
5. To allow for proper clearance of plumbing and elec-
trical, use the template included with the literature
to determine the clearance on the side of the cabi-
net where the cabinet meets the back wall. Using a 2
1/2" diameter hole saw, drill a hole in the target area
as shown on the template. DO NOT USE AN EXISTING
HOLE UNLESS IT IS IN THE TARGET AREA.
NOTE
Failure to properly locate the hole for the water
and drain lines may prevent the dishwasher from
installing flush with the cabinets and could result
in kinked or damaged lines. Installation damage is
not covered by the warranty, and leaks caused by
improper installation can result in property damage

For flush installations ONLY, you may remove the cabinet
brace inside the cabinet.

DON'T USE EXISTING HOLES UNLESS THEY
ARE IN THE TARGET AREA.
Otherwise, the Water Supply and Drain hose can
be damaged by being crushed or kinked.
An opening may be needed on both sides to route
plumbing and electrical connections.
