These are not complete instructions. For complete installation instructions, see the “Installation Guide”.

1. Check the enclosure size.

This dishwasher is designed to be

enclosed on the top and on both

sides by a standard residential

kitchen cabinet unit.

The enclosure must be at least 24

inches wide, 24 inches deep, and 34

1/8 inches high.

2. Check requirements.

Hot water requirements

•

You must attach your dishwasher to a hot water supply line.

•

The hot water supply line pressure must be between 20~120 psi (140~830

kPa).

•

The hot water must be between 120 ˚F (49 ˚C) ~149 ˚F (65 ˚C).

Electrical requirements

•

The electrical supply in you home must provide the voltage and amperage

displayed on the rating plate of the dishwasher: 15 amps, 120 volts, 60Hz

AC.

•

The power cable must not extend more than 4 ft (1.2 m) from the side of the

dishwasher.

•

No other appliance can be connected to the same power outlet or power

line as the dishwasher.

Drainage requirements

•

For the drain to operate properly, the dishwasher should be installed within

9.8 ft (3 m) of the sink.

3. Prepare the cabinet.

If this is a new installation, cut a hole into the

side of the cabinet that holds the sink using

a 2 1/2 inch hole saw. If the base inside the

sink cabinet is raised above the kitchen floor

and is higher than the connections on the

dishwasher, make a hole in the base inside

the cabinet and in the cabinet side below the

inside base.

4. Check the parts and tools.

2 installation brackets

2 flat head screws (for

the installation bracket)

2 screws

(for the side walls)

2 screws

(for the kick plate)

Kick plate is attached to packing parts

After unboxing the dishwasher, make sure you have found the included the parts

listed above. Also make sure you have the tools listed on pages 5 and 6 in the

Installation Guide.

5. Inspect the dishwasher.

•

Check the hot water connection

on the front left-side of the base

of the dishwasher. The mounting

plate should be secured to the front

of the base, the threads inside the

connection should be smooth and

shiny, and the area should be clean and free of any debris.

•

Confirm the junction box cover is secured to the junction box on the front

right-side of the base of the dishwasher. Confirm the electrical box was

not damaged during shipping and that it is secured to the base of the

dishwasher.

•

Check the door latch, the operation of the hinges, and confirm the door is

properly secured to the dishwasher.

•

Confirm there are no dents or scratches anywhere on the dishwasher.

6. Prepare the dishwasher

Turn off the circuit breaker and water supply valve before

proceeding.

Wrap Teflon tape around the threads of the 90˚ elbow, and

then attach the elbow to the Inlet valve. Tighten until the

elbow is tight and pointing towards the water hose channel

in the base of the dishwasher (about 4 o’clock).

Remove the junction box cover located at the bottom

front right of the dishwasher using a

screwdriver, and then Install the strain

relief. Keep the junction box. You will need

it later.

If the countertop is made of wood or a

material that is not damaged by drilling,

attach the two (2) Installation brackets that

were supplied with the dishwasher to the

dishwasher using the supplied screws.

Cut the strings securing the drain hose to the back of the

dishwasher. Roll-out the hose. Make sure there are no

kinks and that the hose is not bent at any extreme angles

that could constrict the flow of water.

7. Place the dishwasher.

Place the dishwasher so that the water

supply line is in the left channel and the

power cable is in the right channel of the

base of the dishwasher. Use standard

duct tape or cable ties to secure the water

line and electrical cable to their adjacent

channels in the base. This can prevent

the the water line and electrical cable from

being squeezed when you push the the

dishwasher into place.

8. Attach the water line.

Make sure the water supply line is not

twisted, and then connect the water

supply line to the elbow joint.

9. Use the carton bands.

Use the carton bands (minimum of 4 feet long)

to pull the water line, drain hose, and power

cables through the holes in the cabinets as

shown below.

10. Slide into the enclosure.

Slide the dishwasher carefully into the

installation space. If possible, gently pull any

excess lengths of water supply line, drain

hose, or electrical cable back as you move

the dishwasher. Get a second or third person

to help you do this if necessary. Make sure

you leave at least ten inches of the electrical

cable protruding beyond the bottom of the

dishwasher. You will connect the electrical

cable later.

Make sure that the dishwasher does not

rest on the water supply line, drain hose, or

electrical cable. Also make sure that the water

supply line, drain hose, or electrical cable are not kinked, folded, or twisted.

11. Level the dishwasher.

Using a level, check if the dishwasher is level side to side and front to back.

Side to side

Front to back

If the dishwasher is not level side to side, rotate

the leveling legs on the bottom front of the

dishwasher until the dishwasher is level. Turn

clockwise to lower and counterclockwise to raise.

If the dishwasher is not level front to back, adjust

the height of the rear leg by turning the hex bolt (at

the front of the base). Turn to the left to raise the

back of the dishwasher and the right to lower. Use

a hex L-wrench or similar tool to turn the hex bolt.

12. Secure the dishwasher.

If the counter top is made of wood or another

material that will not be damaged by drilling, secure

the dishwasher to the bottom of the counter top by

carefully passing a drill bit through the holes in the

installation brackets and then drilling a screw hole.

Then, insert the screws provided and tighten,

Note;

If the installation brackets on the front of the

dishwasher extend beyond the bottom of the counter

top, cut them down using a nipper before you drill the

holes.

If the counter top is made of granite, marble, or any

other material that can be damaged by drilling, secure

the dishwasher by removing the tub spacer caps,

carefully passing a drill bit through the holes that

are revealed and drilling a screw hole. Then, insert a

provided screw into each hole and tighten. Replace the tub spacer caps.

13. Connect the drain hose.

How you connect the drain hose depends on whether or not you have a

disposal and whether or not you have an air gap. The primary connections

methods are illustrated below.

Pass the power cable through the strain relief, and

then into the junction box

4.

Connect the black wire of the dishwasher to the

for water leakage on both ends of the water supply line and drain hose

connector.
