Location Requirements Dishwasher must be fully enclosed (top, sides, back, and floor) upon installation. A side panel kit is available from your dealer for installing your dishwasher at the end of your cabinetry. An optional moisture barrier accessory is also available for installing underneath a wooden countertop. Check location where dishwasher will be installed. The location must provide: � Convenient access for loading and unloading dishes. Corner locations require a 2" (51 mm) minimum clearance between the side of the dishwasher door and the wall or cabinet. � Easy access to water, electricity, and drain: • Grounded electrical supply is required. • This dishwasher has a water-heating feature and also requires a connection to a hot water supply line. • Make sure pipes, wires, and drain hose are within the shaded area shown in the "Cabinet Opening Dimensions" section. • Do not run drain lines, water lines, or electrical wiring where they can interfere with or contact dishwasher motor or legs. • Shelter dishwasher and water lines leading to dishwasher against freezing. Damage from freezing is not covered by the warranty. NOTE: 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. • If installed in new construction, flush the water supply line of debris before connecting it to the fill valve. If it is not flushed, debris from the water supply could plug the fill valve screen. � A square opening for proper operation and appearance. � The cabinet front to be perpendicular to floor. � A level floor. Helpful Hint: If floor at front of opening is not level with floor at rear of opening, shims may be used to level dishwasher. NOTE: To avoid shifting during dishwasher operation, shims must be securely attached to the floor. � 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.

(3.7 m) that meets all current AHAM/ IAPMO test standards, is resistant to heat and detergent, and fits the 1" (25 mm) drain connector of the dishwasher. NOTE: Do not connect multiple drain hoses together. � Make sure to connect drain hose to waste tee or disposer inlet above drain trap in house plumbing and 20" (508 mm) minimum above the floor.
