Location Requirements
Do not run drain lines, water lines or electrical wiring where
they can interfere with or contact dishwasher motor or legs.
The location where the dishwasher will be installed must provide
clearance between motor and flooring. Motor should not touch the
floor.
Do not install dishwasher over carpeted flooring.
Protect dishwasher and water lines leading to dishwasher against
freezing. Damage from freezing is not covered by the warranty.
A side panel kit is available from your dealer for installing your
dishwasher at the end of your cabinetry.
A moisture barrier accessory (Part No. 4396277) is available from
your dealer for installing underneath the countertop, but is not
required. This may also be obtained by calling 1-877-650-5775.
Check location where dishwasher will be installed. The location
must provide:
• easy access to water, electricity and drain.
• convenient access for loading and unloading dishes. Corner
locations require a 2" (5.1 cm) minimum clearance between the side
of the dishwasher door and the wall or cabinet.
• square opening for proper operation and appearance.
• cabinet front perpendicular to floor.
• level floor. (If floor at front of opening is not level with floor at
rear of opening, shims may be needed to level dishwasher.)
NOTE:To prevent shifting during dishwasher operation, shims
must be securely attached to the floor.
If dishwasher will be left unused for a period of time or in a location
where it may be subject to freezing, have it winterized by authorized
service personnel.
Make sure pipes, wires and drain hose are within the shaded area
shown in the "Cutout dimensions" section.
Helpful Tip: If the floor in the dishwasher opening is uneven
(example: tile flooring only partway into opening) you will need
to take special care in measuring dimensions and in leveling
dishwasher.
