Drain hose 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. Shelter 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 Number 4396277) is available from your dealer for installing underneath the countertop. 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 avoid 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 be exact in measuring dimensions and in leveling dishwasher.
