Custom Door Panel (Installation Option, cont.) 5 x4 Carefully tighten each screw to secure the overlay and check to ensure that the overlay is square with the dishwasher door and cabinet opening and that the panel doesn't interfere with the operation of the dishwasher. Verify operation of the door counter balance springs after installation of the overlay panel. The additional weight of the overlay panel might require an adjustment to the preload of the counterbalance springs. If adjustment of the springs is required, please refer to the "Counter Balance Spring" section. 10 General Information • Read these instructions carefully and completely before installing the dishwasher. The installation should be carried out by a qualified installer, who is familiar with all local codes and ordinances for electrical and plumbing connections. If the dishwasher is being installed for the first time, most of the work has to be done before you move it into place. If you are replacing an old dishwasher, you must check the old connections. • Electrical requirements are listed in the "Specifications" section. Site Preparation Note: It is recommended that a thorough site inspection be conducted PRIOR to unpacking and moving this appliance. • After determining where the water supply line will connect to the dishwasher, provide a 2" (5.1 cm) access hole and run the line to the approximate fill valve location. Sealing access area once lines are in place is recommended. • Confirm available access to adequate power. Water Supply WARNING Plumbing connections must comply with applicable sanitary, safety, and plumbing codes. • Water pressure for the water supply should be a minimum of 10 to 125 psi. The dishwasher is supplied with a 5' (1.5 m) braided stainless steel water line with 3/8" (0.95 cm) compression fitting connected to dishwasher. • After determining where the water supply line will connect to the dishwasher, provide a 2" (5.1 cm) access hole and run the water supply line to the approximate fill valve location. • For service convenience, a shut-off valve (not supplied) should be installed in the supply line in a readily accessible location (such as beneath the sink). • It is recommended that the dishwasher be connected to a hot water supply. Only the 451 model can be connected to the cold water supply. Cycle times will increase. • It is important that the water supply line and the shut-off valve have a sufficient flow volume. Flush the supply line prior to connecting it to the intake line of the dishwasher. • Make sure the connection is sealed and not leaking before completing the installation. Drain • The access hole for the drain line should be 2" square (5.1 cm). Locate as low and as near to the back wall as possible. • DO NOT use any fittings anywhere in the drain line that are less than 1/2" (1.3 cm) ID. • If the drain line is going to be connected to a food waste disposer, be sure to remove the knockout or plug from the fitting before connecting drain line. • Drain connection should be a minimum of 9" (22.9cm) from the floor. If connection is lower, siphoning during cycle can occur. CAUTION The dishwasher has a factory installed backflow preventer. Do Not add an additional check valve. Note: The end of the drain hose is 1" (2.5 cm), but is adjustable to 3/4" (1.9 cm) or 5/8" (1.6 cm). If the drain connection is smaller than 1" (2.5 cm), the hose can be cut to fit the connection. Note: Be sure to run the drain line through the hole to the sink compartment before moving the dishwasher into place. 11
