Installation Tips

Read all instructions prior to installation

. Water, electric, and drain connections are not the same for all age, brand, or models of dishwashers. Check and compare the location and length of your current utilities so you can plan your new installation (refeerto pages 4 and 8).

. Each home installation is different and some parts may be needed to meet your individual installation needs. You will need a 3/~”National Pipe Thread “Street C’ or compatible right angle fittings (not included) to make the final water connections to the dishwasher valve (refer to page 9).

. Clean dishes require an adequate supply of hot water. A water temperature of 140°F (60°C) is desirable, 120°F (49°C) is minimum, 160°F (71 “C)is maximum. A minimum water supply line of 3/8” (outside diameter) copper tubing is recommended.

Reasonable water pressure is needed (15-l 20 PSI [pounds-per-square-inch]) flow rate minimum (2 gallons/minute). Refer to page 9.

. A separate 15-20 amp, grounded 120V AC electrical supply is required for your new dishwasher. You may need a strain relief connector and wire nuts or suitable connectors (not included) for connecting house wiring to the dishwasher.

. If the dishwasher drain hose is connected to a garbage disposer for the first time, remember to knock out the plug in the disposer inlet. This plug is inside the inlet and you may not see the plug from the outside (refer to page 8).

. The dishwasher drain hose to the house drain must have a 32” loop above the floor or a suitable air gap must be used to prevent water from siphoning out of the dishwasher and causing washing problems (refer to page 7).

Kinked water or drain lines can cause problems. Run lines with generous curves. Make sure lines are long enough to allow for generous curves.

Flush the water line prior to making final connections. A bunched towel over the end of the line can help prevent splashing. Let water drain into a bucket or pan. This will prevent premature clogging of the filter screen in the inlet valve.

lThere must be a l/4” air gap between the bottom of the motor and the floor. If the floor is carpeted, it will be necessary to cut away the carpeting underneath the motor to allow ventilation for the motor (refer to page IO.)

. The dishwasher will look, sound, and work better if it is properly leveled. Take time to adjust the leveling legs so that all of them touch the floor and the dishwasher is level. Use #8 x 5/~” Phillips head screws (supplied) to anchor dishwasher to countertop (refer to pages 10 and 13).
