cabinet.

* If the height of the existing cutout is too low:

 

•The access hole(s) in the cabinet for the power cord and water line shall be no bigger than 1-1/2˝

(3.8 cm) in diameter. The access hole for the drain hose shall be no bigger than 2˝ (5.0 cm) in diameter. The access holes for all three must be round and smooth. If the partition is metal, it needs to be covered with an edge protector. Call Dacor for the part number of an approved edge protector.

•The opening through the partition between the drain connection and the dishwasher cutout must be higher than the disposer or waste tee connection (see page 6) and lower than 35” (88.9 cm).

•Plan the installation so that the appliance can be removed easily if service is required.

-- Check to see if the cabinet face can be trimmed at the top. In many cases, when a non-standard size dishwasher has been installed previously, there is enough room inside the cabinet once the cabinet face is modified.

-- The dishwasher can be shortened 1/4” (6.0

mm)by not installing the plastic feet on the unit as shown on page 9. Extra care must be taken if the feet are not installed. Dacor is not responsible for floor damage during installation.

-- The dishwasher can be shortened 1/4” (6.0 mm)

by removing the trim pieces that surround the wash compartment opening. NOTE: Doing so will create a gap of 1/4” (6.0 mm) on the right and left side of the door.

•If the dishwasher is installed in a corner, allow a minimum clearance of 2” (5.1 cm) from the side wall so the door can open. See diagram, right.

•The floor must be solid, level and all cutout surfaces must be at right angles. In the interest of safety, the surrounding cabinet must have sufficient material for attachment of the anti-tip brackets (see page 13).
