• The dishwasher must be installed no more than 10 feet from a sink for proper drainage. • The dishwasher must be fully enclosed on the top, sides and back. • The dishwasher must not support any part of the enclosure. CLEARANCES: In a corner installation, provide at least 2" clearance between the dishwasher and the adjacent cabinet, wall or other appliance. Provide at least 28-3/8" of clearance in front of the dishwasher (Figure B). ADVANCE PLANNING • These dishwashers are designed for versatility, adaptable to virtually any installation. • All models have a full-length door without the traditional access panel. • These dishwashers may be installed beneath countertops of stone or other materials that will not accept screws. No trim kit required.

See below. Drain Method The type of drain installation depends on the following: • Do local codes or ordinances require an air gap? • Is waste tee less than 18" above the floor? If the answer to either question is yes, an air gap must be used. Refer to Method 1 (Figure C) in the adjacent illustrations. If both answers are no, either an air gap or high drain loop may be used. Refer to Method 1 (Figure C) or Method 2 (Figure D) in the adjacent illustrations. NOTE: Drain hose elevation must not exceed 48". Special consideration for a dishwasher installed on a elevated platform lf the dishwasher is installed on an elevated platform, a high drain loop of at least 32" above the platform must be provided in addition to the air gap or drain loop requirement determined above. This is necessary for proper drain performance. CAUTION: An air gap MUST BE USED if the drain hose is connected to waste tee or disposer lower than 18" above the floor level. Failure to provide the proper drain connection height with an air gap or 32" minimum high drain loop will result in improper draining of the dishwasher, which may cause damage. Cabinet Preparation for drain line Drill a 1-1/2" dia. hole in the cabinet wall within the shaded areas shown in Figure A for the drain hose. Make sure there are no sharp edges. The drain hose will be passed through this hole and connected to the drain in a later step. Method 1—Air Gap with Waste Tee or Disposer Method 2—“High Drain Loop” with Waste Tee or Disposer Use the drain hose hanger included in the installation kit to attach the drain hose to the underside of the countertop. Attachment will be made in a later step. Install waste tee or disposer and the air gap according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Figure C Figure D IMPORTANT — When connecting drain line to disposer, check to be sure that drain plug has been removed. DISHWASHER WILL NOT DRAIN IF PLUG IS LEFT IN PLACE.

Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug with this appliance. Electrical Requirements • This appliance must be supplied with 120V, 60 Hz. and connected to an individual properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a 15- or 20-ampere circuit breaker or time-delay fuse. • Wiring must be 2-wire with ground and rated for 75°C (176°F). • If the electrical supply does not meet the above requirements, call a licensed electrician before proceeding. Grounding Instructions—Permanent Connection This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and be connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the appliance. Grounding Instructions—Power Cord Models This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. WARNING The improper connection of the equipment- grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt that the appliance is properly grounded. For models equipped with power cord: Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance; if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a q...
