Preparing for Installation

Power Supply Preparation

warning

The electrical power supply for the dishwasher must be installed only by a licensed electrician as specified below. It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that the electrical connection of this appliance is performed by a licensed electrician.

Plumbing Preparation

•The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi (138-827 kPa). The household hot water heater should supply a minimum of 120°F water to the dishwasher location for best results.

•Install a water supply valve for the hot water supply line where it is easily accessible after the dishwasher is installed. The dishwasher is shipped with a 3/8 male compression fitting to facilitate installation.

Electrical Specifications

The electrical installation, including minimum supply wire size and grounding, must be in accordance with the National Electric code ANSI/NFPA* (or latest revision) and local codes and ordinances.

*A copy of this standard may be obtained from:

National Fire Protection Association 1 Batterymarch Park

Quincy, Massachusetts 02269-9101

Power supply requirements:

•The dishwasher requires a grounded, dedicated 120 Vac, 60 Hz circuit protected by a 15 A circuit breaker or time delay fuse installed by a licensed electrician.

•It must be located to the right or left of the cut-out, in an adjacent cabinet, so that power can be disconnected without removing the dishwasher.

•The ground terminal (or lead) on the appliance must be connected to a grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system or grounding conductor installed by a licensed electrician.

•Do not ground the appliance or appliance wiring to a gas pipeline or to the neutral (white) power supply wire.

•Do not install a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.

The dishwasher can be connected to:

A UL/CSA approved, grounded, three-prong receptacle (if local code permits). This method is the easiest to install.

OR

Directly to the house wiring. Hard-wire the dishwasher according to local code directly to a three wire grounded, single phase connection in a junction box.

NOTE: In either case, be sure the power cable or wire is long enough to remain connected when the appliance is removed from the cut-out for service.

If the electrical service does not meet the specifications above:

•Have a licensed electrician prepare the electrical receptacle or junction box for final connection inside the adjacent cabinet according to the specifications above.

Hot Water

Inlet

BACK OF DISHWASHER

•A flexible braided fill hose is highly recommended. Connect it to the unit just prior to installation into the cabinet.

•If copper tubing is present from a prior installation, remove it and replace it with a flexible braided hose.

Preparing the Drain

IMPORTANT: A drain line hose is supplied with the product. Should a longer drain hose be required, use a hose approved for detergents and high temperature water. The drain hose supplied with the dishwasher meets an AHAM DW-1 test standard. Longer drain hoses should not be longer than 12 ft. in length.

•You must install an air gap in the drain if the drain hose is connected to household plumbing lower than 20 in. (50.8 cm) from the floor or if required by local codes. Plan for the air gap in the sink or countertop area adjacent to the dishwasher. A section of drain hose (not provided) needs to be installed from the air gap to the disposal or waste tee.

•If an air gap is not required, the drain hose must be installed to an inlet or waste tee above the drain trap in the household plumbing.

•The drain hose supplied with the dishwasher should be connected to a minimum 1/2 in. I.D. drain connection.

•If the drain is connected to a disposal, see the disposal manufacturer’s installation instructions for correct drain hose mounting techniques.
