Step 2 Selecting The Best Location For The Dishwasher - Samsung DMT800 series Installation Manual

New installation
If the dishwasher is a new installation, most of the installation work must be done before the
dishwasher is moved into place.
Replacement
If the dishwasher is replacing an old dishwasher, the connections for the dishwasher being replaced
must be checked for compatibility with the new dishwasher and replaced as necessary.
STEP 2 SELECTING THE BEST LOCATION FOR THE DISHWASHER
The following criteria are important to ensure the best location for the dishwasher.
1. Select a location with a solid floor that is able to support the weight of the dishwasher.
2. Select a location near a sink with easy access to the water supply, drain, and electrical
outlet.
For the drain to operate properly, the dishwasher should be installed within 9.8 ft (3 m) of
the sink.
3. Select a location that allows you to easily load your dishes into the dishwasher.
4. Select a location with sufficient space for the dishwasher door to open easily and with
enough space between the dishwasher and the wall (at least 0.1 in (2 mm)).
If the dishwasher is installed in a corner, ensure that there is a clearance of more than 2 in.
(50 mm) from the wall.
5. Cut a hole into the side of the wall where the sink is as shown in Figure 1 below.
6. If there is an additional level in the sink cabinet and it is higher than the connections on the
dishwasher, make two holes as shown in Figure 1-2.
7. The wall at the back must be free of obstructions.
