Open the door and hold level against the top of the tub to check if it is level side to side. Adjust the front legs until level. 2. Remove the lower basket and place the level in the basket channel to check if it is level front to back. Adjust the rear legs until level. 3. Open the door and check if the door hits the tub of the dishwasher. Adjust front leveling legs to align the door to the tub. NOTE Turn leveling leg clockwise (left) to lower the leg and counter clockwise (right) to raise the leg. 8 Securing the Dishwasher You must fix the dishwasher to the countertop or cabinet side walls for additional stability and safety. If securing to the countertop (wood or other material that will not be damaged by drilling), follow the instructions below. 1. Put a large towel into the bottom of the dishwasher to prevent wood shavings or a dropped screw from falling into the dishwasher. 2. Verify that the installation brackets are firmly attached to the top of the unit using screws ST3.5*9 provided with the unit. 3. Carefully drill screw holes into the underside of the counter top by passing the drill bit up through the screw holes in each installation bracket, making sure the diameter of the hole is smaller than the diameter of the screw. 4. Insert screws ST4*14 up through the brackets, and then tighten to secure the dishwasher to the countertop. If securing to the side cabinets (the countertop is made of granite, marble, or any other material that can be damaged by drilling), follow the instructions below. 1. Put a large towel into the bottom of the dishwasher to prevent wood shavings or a dropped screw from falling into the dishwasher. 2. Remove the adjustment caps with the tip of a screwdriver. The caps are just inside the tub near the middle of the tub on both sides. Connecting to drain with a garbage disposal unit with and without an air gap.

Drill a hole into the sides of the kitchen cabinet on both sides by carefully passing a drill bit through the screw holes exposed by the removal of the spacer caps, and then drilling into the side of the cabinet. Make sure the hole you drill is smaller than the diameter of the screw and that the drill bit does not strike the sides of the spacer cap holes. 4. Verify that the installation brackets are firmly attached to the side of the unit. 5. Insert screws ST4*14 into the holes, and then tighten to secure the dishwasher to the cabinet. IMPORTANT Make sure the tub is not distorted by pressure from the screws. If the tub is distorted, loosen the screws a little. 6. Replace the tub adjustment caps. NOTE • The screws or tub spacer cap may fall into the dishwasher while you are working with the door open. Cover the interior of the dishwasher with a towel to prevent any screws from falling into the dishwasher. If any foreign items such as a screw get into the dishwasher, it may cause noise, an abnormal operation, damage, or a malfunction. • Use a magnetic screwdriver to help prevent screws from falling into the dishwasher. • If a foreign item such as a screw gets into the dishwasher and you are unable to remove it. the dishwasher needs to be disassembled. Contact a qualified service technician for this. 9 Connecting the Drain Hose 1. Check the parts on the sink to which the drain hose will be connected. 2. There are several ways to insert the drain hose into the drain hose connector of the sink. You must connect the drain hose in accordance with the water pipe installation regulations in your region. Connecting to drain without a garbage disposal unit with and without an air gap. Air gap No air gap Hose clamp Drain hose2 Hose clamp IMPORTANT DO NOT cut corrugated portion of line. 4. Slide a hose clamp over the end of the drain hose. Attach the drain hose to the sink connector, slide the hose clamp to the end of the hose, and then tighten the hose clamp. NOTE You must use a hose clamp. Failure to do so may cause water leakage. 5. Secure the drain hose to the sink wall using cable ties or other fastening material. Secure the drain hose with cable. • If a longer drain hose is required, add up to 42" of length for a total of 10 ft. to the factory installed hose. Use 5/8" or 7/8" inside diameter hose and a coupler to connect the two hose ends. Secure the connection with hose clamps. • Secure the drain hose to the air gap, waste tee, or disposer with clamps. Hose Clamp Coupler Hose Clamp 6. If there is no air gap, make sure to hang the middle of the drain hose well above the sink cabinet base to prevent backflow. Front Countertop MAX 1000mm A Drain hose B Φ 40mm NOTE The top of the drain hose must be less than 39.3" (1000mm). 7. When drilling a hole for the drain hose on the cabinet wall, take caution not to damage the drain hose by sharp edges of the hole. • On wooden walls, use sand paper to soften the edges. • On metal walls, use insulation tape or duct tape to cover the sharp edges around the hole. IMPORTANT • Take caution not the damage the drain hose when installing the dishwasher on the floor, wall,or cabinet. • Do not cut the wrinkled area of the drain hose to fit the size. When arranging the drain hose, take caution not to contact on sharp edges of the cabinet or under-sink. WARNING • Be careful when cutting off the end of the drain hose as there is a risk of injury. Clean around the sink's drain connection so that it does not damage the hose. Check for any foreign items in the drain hose and remove them. • When arranging the drain hose, make sure the drain hose is not cut, torn, or broken by any sharp edges of the floor, the product itself, or the cabinet. A damaged drain hose causes a leak. NOTE To prevent leaks or drainage problems, make sure the drain hose is not damaged, kinked, or twisted. 10 Wiring Connections WARNING ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD To avoid electrical shock, do not work on an energized circuit.
